Pulitzer Prize winner, journalism professor, and founder of PolitiFact Bill Adair, presents an “informed, urgent, and alarming” (Brian Stelter, New York Times bestselling author) history of political deception and how to stop it once and for all.Bill Adair knows a lie when he hears one. Since 2008, the site he founded, PolitiFact, has been the go-to spot for anyone seeking the truth in an increasingly deceitful world. Since the site’s launch, politics’ tenuous relationship with the truth has only gotten weaker—and weirder. In this groundbreaking and “valuable book” (Tom Rosenstiel, coauthor of The Elements of Journalism), Adair reveals how politicians lie and why. Based on dozens of candid interviews with politicians, political operatives, and experts in misinformation, Adair reveals the patterns of lying, why Republicans do it more, and the consequences for our democracy. He goes behind the scenes to describe several episodes that reveal the motivations and tactics of the nation’s political liars, show the impact they have on people’s lives, and demonstrate how the problem began before Donald Trump and will continue after he’s gone. With wry humor and insight, this remarkable book unpacks the sad state of American politics, but also, provides solutions to put an end to political deceit once and for all.

Terapeut, právník a mediátor Bill Eddy popisuje, jak nebezpečné a vysoce konfliktní osobnosti (HCP) získávají moc ve vládách po celém světě – a co mohou občané udělat, aby se tito lidé nedostali do úřadu. Demokracie je totiž v ohrožení. Příliš mnoho zemí se dostalo pod nadvládu problematických lidí, kteří se stali politiky. Většina jich má rysy narcistické či antisociální poruchy osobnosti, případně rovnou obojí. Autor, který je přední světový odborník na HCP, vysvětluje, proč jsou tito lidé tak svůdní, a popisuje čtyřicet jejich typických vlastností. Čerpá přitom z příkladů od Hitlera, Stalina, Maa a Nixona po Trumpa, Madura a Putina a ukazuje, jak problematičtí politici vymýšlejí nepřátele a vyrábějí falešné krize, aby se mohli vykreslit jako jediná hrdinská postava, která se s nimi dokáže vypořádat, a to navzdory vlastní neschopnosti problémy skutečně řešit. Autor také popisuje nejlepší způsoby, jak odhalit HCP jako šarlatány, jak reagovat na jejich prázdné a zavádějící sliby a jak najít opravdové lídry. Přitom využívá svou hlubokou psychoterapeutickou zkušenost, aby se dostal na kloub dosud neidentifikovanému jevu, který představuje skutečnou hrozbu pro svět. Bill Eddy je spoluzakladatel a ředitelem Institutu pro řešení konfliktů a je zkušeným rodinným mediátorem Národního centra pro řešení konfliktů. Je také právníkem a licencovaným klinickým sociálním pracovníkem, který v současnosti působí i na Pepperdine University School of Law. Je autorem nebo spoluautorem čtrnácti knih a má oblíbený blog na stránkách Psychology Today s více než dvěma miliony zhlédnutí.

In Somebody is Walking on Your Grave, Mariana Enriquez blends journalistic rigour and her fascination with the macabre as we encounter famous graveyards steeped in history, such as Montparnasse in Paris, Highgate in London, and the Jewish cemetery in Prague, as well as more remote, decrepit, hidden, or secretly beautiful ones. These pages are full of the graves of famous figures - Elvis in Memphis, Karl Marx in London - mournful sculptures, traces of voodoo, catacombs, skeletons and an array of legends and stories. Mariana's personal journey weaves through haunting narratives, transforming burial grounds into spaces of reflection, obsession, and emotional discovery between the living and the dead. From the haunting statues of Staglieno in Genoa to the eerie silence of Rottnest Island's hidden Aboriginal cemetery, Enriquez's narrative shifts effortlessly between travelogue, essay, and memoir. In her unique voice, cemeteries transform into living, breathing places of reflection, obsession and revelation. As she roams, each cemetery becomes a lens through which she examines everything from colonial violence to the strange rituals surrounding death.

Brian Clough, arguably Britain''s greatest ever football manager, died in September 2004 at the age of 69. His passing was marked by a minute''s silence at both the Derby County and Nottingham Forest grounds and provoked a wave of tributes from across the sporting spectrum. A memorial service due to be held at Derby Cathedral had to be moved to Pride Park to accommodate the fans'' demand for tickets. This overwhelming affection and respect was fully deserved for the man who was often described as being controversial, outspoken and opinionated. His achievements in football speak for themselves: he took two lowly Midlands sides to the very top, winning two consecutive European Cups, with unfashionable Nottingham Forest, in a feat that will surely never be matched by a club of similar stature.This special edition contains two new chapters, written shortly before he died, which offer his candid and entertaining views on club directors and chairmen and on Newcastle''s treatment of Sir Bobby Robson, as well as his scathing analysis of England''s recent performances. Cloughie also talks honestly about his battles with alcohol and the liver transplant that gave him 21 months of health and happiness.

God is going to use someone to walk in purpose, meaning, destiny and anointing. So why not you? You can operate in your God-given abilities when you operate out of your God-given identity. There is a very human tendency to believe the best for others and the worst for ourselves. To believe that someone else can operate in their full potential, while we settle to exist in our scraps of talent and personal limitations. But what if we could identify these lies for what they are and learn to take hold of the life God has actually called us to?When Ed Newton was ten years old, a woman at McDonald''s prophesied over him that God was going to use him in a great way. Ed, who was eating lunch with his deaf parents, didn''t even have a relationship with the Lord at the time. He had no idea that the story that God was writing would one day be something he''d feel compelled to share with others.Ed has walked the road of biblical identity and is now inviting others to do the same. Why Not You? is filled with his stories of growing up as a child of deaf parents (CODA) as well as other life experiences. Ed shows how the truth of God’s Word can cut through the web of self-doubt so many followers of Christ struggle with and show them who God created them to be. This book will help readers:battle through negative self-talk, doubts, and insecurities;retrain their minds to view themselves from God''s perspective;see their setbacks as setups for success;stop questioning their gifts and talents and start living in them. Backed with Scripture and a raw look at his journey from childhood until a miraculous, spiritual encounter with the Lord in early 2024, Ed shows readers that it’s not only possible for God to use them, but that God wants to use them. Each chapter challenges readers to confidently walk in the calling and identity God has placed on their lives.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but America’s favorite storyteller has several surprises in store.“Homecoming” takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham’s unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but he’s not in the courtroom. He’s called upon to help an old friend, Mack Stafford, a former lawyer in Clanton, who three years earlier became a local legend when he stole money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again—until now. Now Mack is back, and he’s leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His homecoming does not go as planned.In “Strawberry Moon,” we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. His lawyers can’t save him, the courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request. The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself?By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told.

In addition to focusing on practical matters—making a prototype, finding customers, raising money—she also considers the emotional and psychic journey an entrepreneur must take to discover their “deep inner why” and then manifest that vision and purpose in the world. In Built on Purpose, she teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to apply the art and neuroscience of manifesting to creating and building a new company.The spiritual work of being able to operate on a high vibrational frequency isn’t considered a prerequisite for starting and running a business, but it is crucial to success. Manifesting is the process of transforming a vision into reality—which is exactly what it means to be an inventor/founder. Fore has witnessed how harnessing this process consciously can lead to extraordinary life-changing results and a more joyful journey.In this unique guide, Fore shows how anyone can tap into this secret force, no matter your background, level of expertise, or amount of capital. She brings together hard-hitting business strategies, skills and lessons for tapping into the universe and the boundless love and energy available to all of us, sharing her own stories and best practices as well as examples from other entrepreneurs who have used the Deep Inner Why Method to great success. The result is a powerful guide that proves this paradigm-shifting methodology has a real—and positive—impact on those who believe in it.

On October 1, 1958, the world's first civilian space agency opened for business as an emergency response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik a year earlier. Within a decade, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universally known as NASA, had evolved from modest research teams experimenting with small converted rockets into one of the greatest technological and managerial enterprises ever known, capable of sending people to the Moon aboard gigantic rockets and of dispatching robot explorers to Venus, Mars, and worlds far beyond. In spite of occasional, tragic setbacks in NASA's history, the Apollo lunar landing project remains a byword for American ingenuity; the winged space shuttles spearheaded the International Space Station and a dazzling array of astronomical satellites and robotic landers, and Earth observation programs have transformed our understanding of the cosmos and our home world's fragile place within it.Throughout NASA's 60-year history, images have played a central role. Who today is not familiar with the Hubble Space Telescope's mesmerizing views of the universe or the pin-sharp panoramas of Mars from NASA's surface rovers? And who could forget the photographs of the first men walking on the Moon?This compact edition is derived from our XL edition, which was researched in collaboration with NASA, and gathers hundreds of historic photographs and rare concept renderings, scanned and remastered using the latest technology. Texts by science and technology journalist Piers Bizony, former NASA chief historian Roger Launius, and best-selling Apollo historian Andrew Chaikin round out this comprehensive exploration of NASA, from its earliest days to its current development of new space systems for the future.The NASA Archives is more than just a fascinating pictorial history of the U.S. space program. It is also a profound meditation on why we choose to explore space and how we will carry on this grandest of all adventures in the years to come.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!

Multilogues on the Now: On Glands, Membranes and Cavities seek to explore the terrain beyond the binary, focusing on posthuman and more-than-human approaches to health, embodiment and sexuality. Liquid, non-linear, messy, poetic, unstable, leaky, parasitic, monstrous and queer ways of being in the world lead to new openings: of body and its interiority in the wider scale of the micro and the macro. Through this publication-object, we aim to hold onto space for the co-existence and conviviality between the human and more-than-human. In the face of the current global health crisis, our aim is to re-shape and re-imagine toxic power dynamics rooted in intertwined supremacies. Focusing on existing and speculative ideas and practices, contributions to this book all strive for a more equal, feminist and horizontal present. (ed.)

Swiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger’s biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival. Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist''s unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger’s unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger’s life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist’s museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist’s oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger’s own statements.
