Le Morte Darthur - Thomas Malory
The definitive English version of the stories of King Arthur, Le Morte Darthur was completed in 1469-70 by Sir Thomas Malory, `knight-prisoner . In a resonant prose style, Malory charts the tragic disintegration of the fellowship of the Round Table, destroyed from within by warring factions. Recounting the life of King Arthur, the knightly exploits of Sir Lancelot du Lake, Sir Tristram, Sir Gawain, and the quest for the Holy Grail, Le Morte Darthur depicts the contradictions that underscore the Fellowship s chivalric ideals. A pervading tension cumulates in the revelation of Lancelot and Guenivere s illicit passion, and in Arthur s powerlessness to prevent a related outbreak of violence and revenge. This generously annotated edition is based on the authoritative Winchester manuscript and represents what Malory wrote more closely than the first version printed by William Caxton. Intelligently abridged from the original to make a single substantial volume, the translation is supplemented by a fine Introduction, a Glossary, and extensive Notes ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Time by the Sea - Ronald Blythe
The Time by the Sea is about Ronald Blythe s life in Aldeburgh during the 1950s. He had originally come to the Suffolk coast as an aspiring young writer, but found himself drawn into Benjamin Britten s circle and began working for the Aldeburgh Festival. Although befriended by Imogen Holst and by E M Forster, part of him remained essentially solitary, alone in the landscape while surrounded by a stormy cultural sea. But this memoir gathers up many early experiences, sights and sounds: with Britten he explored ancient churches; with the botanist Denis Garrett he took delight in the marvellous shingle beaches and marshland plants; he worked alongside the celebrated photo-journalist Kurt Hutton. His muse was Christine Nash, wife of the artist John Nash. Published to coincide with the centenary of Britten s birth, this is a tale of music and painting, unforgettable words and fears. It describes the first steps of an East Anglian journey, an intimate appraisal of a vivid and memorable time.

It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"

Praise for LIARS OUTLIERS Without trust, nothing can be achieved. Liars and Outliers is a brilliant analysis of the role of trust in society and business. â ”Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum Schneier absolutely understands how profoundly trust oils the wheels of business and of daily life. â ”Margaret Heffernan, Author of Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future and Beyond Measure: The Big Impact of Small Changes Liars and Outliers is an absolutely fascinating and groundbreaking book. While written years before AI, which is often seen as a catch-all to solve all of humanity s problems, Schneier compellingly shows that in our complex society, there are no simple solutions. â ”Ben Rothke, Senior Information Security Manager, Tapad Brilliantly dissects, classifies, and orders the social dimension of security-a spectacularly palatable tonic against today s incoherent and dangerous flailing in the face of threats from terrorism to financial fraud. â ”Cory Doctorow, Author of Little Brother and Makers, Co-editor of BoingBoing.net Trust is the sine qua non of the networked age and trust is predicated on security. Bruce Schneier s expansive and readable work is rich with insights that can help us make our shrinking world a better one. â ”Don Tapscott, Co-author of Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World

Investable! - Susan Erikson
A critical and sobering look at how international bankers and investors turn pandemics into investment opportunities, and what we stand to lose when we rely on “innovative finance.”In a world increasingly defined by crisis, bankers and investors behind-the-scenes turn catastrophes like pandemics into financial securities that can be bought and sold. Offering new insights into how the excesses of capitalism shape pandemic preparedness, Investable! is an ethnography of World Bank bonds designed to solve a big-ticket global health problem by getting international investors to gamble on future crisis. In this, the first book-length treatment of pandemic bonds, award-winning medical anthropologist Susan Erikson explains how we got here and asks who should hold the responsibility for the terrible things that happen to people, at a time when pandemics are turned into casinos. Erikson, who travelled over 300,000 miles conducting research for the book, takes readers from the red-clay roads of West Africa to the concrete sidewalks of New York City and London’s financial districts, telling the stories of the people, the special interests, and the logics of pandemic bonds. Original, insightful, and extremely timely, Erikson’s lively interdisciplinary exploration tells readers in powerful, vibrant prose about the pitfalls of contemporary global health finance “solutions.” Written for a smart general audience concerned about capitalism’s effect on human health, Investable! will appeal to financiers, politicians, economists, people working in global development, healthcare, and international affairs, and anyone who wants to better understand how capitalism affects how we care for one another in times of crisis.
