''Ground-breaking'' – Daily Mail‘In explaining the rise to power of Kim Yo Jong, Lee displays his deep knowledge and understanding of North Korea’s extreme, ruthless and self-obsessed dynastic autocracy, the creators and rulers of a de-facto nuclear weapon state. Not a reassuring story’ – Sir John Scarlett, former Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)Written by Dr Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar and specialist on North Korea who has advised the US government, The Sister is a jaw-dropping account of the spectacular rise of Kim Yo Jong, de-facto deputy to her brother, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, and the most powerful woman in North Korea.In 2022, in a particularly fiery speech, Kim Yo Jong threatened to nuke South Korea, reminding the world of the dangers posed by her state. But how did the youngest daughter of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il, his ‘sweet princess’, become the ruthless chief propagandist, internal administrator and foreign policymaker for her brother’s totalitarian regime?The Sister uncovers the truth about Kim Yo Jong, her close bond with Kim Jong Un and the lessons in manipulation they learned from their father. Lee also examines the iron grip the Kim dynasty has on their country, the grotesque deaths of family members deemed disloyal, and the signs that Kim Yo Jong has been positioned as her brother’s successor should he die while his own children are young.Readable and insightful, this book is an invaluable portrait of a woman who might yet hold the survival of her despotic dynasty in her hands.‘An incisive portrayal of North Korea’s "princess", Kim Yo Jong, but also a chilling portrait of a family dynasty that has oppressed and exploited North Korea for generation after generation’ – Max Boot, Washington Post columnist, author and senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations

‘A beautiful book’ Zoë Ball ‘My father was an “ordinary man”, which of course means he was extraordinary.' Be it as Nicky Hutchinson in Our Friends In The North, Maurice in The A Word, or his reinvention of Doctor Who, One man, in life and death, has accompanied Christopher Eccleston every step of the way – his father, Ronnie. In I Love the Bones of You, Eccleston unveils a vivid portrait of a relationship that has shaped his entire career trajectory – mirroring and defining his own highs and lows, from stage and screen triumph to breakdown, anorexia and self-doubt. Eccleston describes how the tightening grip of dementia on his father slowly blinded him to his son’s existence, forcing a new and final chapter in their connection. Told with trademark honesty and openness, I Love the Bones of You is a celebration of those on whom the spotlight so rarely shines, as told by a man who found his voice in its glare. A love letter to one man, and a paean to many.

Pioneer Merchants of Singapore tells the stories of some of Singapore''s earliest merchants, including Alexander Laurie Johnston, Edward Boustead, Alexander Guthrie, and eleven others, including Tan Che Sang, Dr Jose d''Almeida, and D S Napier. Much has been written about Sir Stamford Raffles and Lt. Col. Farquhar, but almost nothing has been published about these merchants of all races operating in Singapore during the first few years following its acquisition by the East India Company in 1819. It includes never-before-published information drawn from letters dating back to 1818. These, including letters from Johnston''s first employee and business partner Andrew Hay and a previously unrecorded letter from Raffles himself, shed light on much which otherwise would have been lost to us. This book aims to fill a gap in our knowledge of the early days of Singapore and the challenges faced by its early residents. It is a must-read for those who are interested in the history of Singapore''s early years as a trading colony.

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERShortlisted for Sports Book of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025---‘A terrific book’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio 1‘An absorbing insight into the mind of a leader’ Irish Times---At the age of 16, a boy amongst men, Andy Farrell made his first-team debut for Wigan Warriors – and became a father for the first time. At 18, he won his first senior international cap. At 21, he won his first Man of Steel Award for the Super League player of the year. He went on to win the Golden Boot award for world player of the year. All of that on its own would have been enough to make him a sporting legend – and none of it even hinted at the fascinating second chapter of his sporting life, as a rugby union player with Saracens and England, or the third chapter, as a highly successful and beloved union coach. Under his leadership, Ireland have played a brilliant brand of rugby combining precision and freedom, and have won two of the past three Six Nations championships. And most recently, he led the Lions to their first series win since 2013. Warm, thoughtful and passionate, Andy Farrell is not just a brilliant rugby man: he is a fascinating human being. His autobiography brings us back to his childhood in Wigan, when he made a meteoric ascent to the highest levels of rugby league. He writes about his ambitious attempt to remake himself as a rugby union player in his thirties. He writes about the importance of family in his life and he traces the journey that has led to him become one of rugby's most successful coaches, explaining what he has learned about leadership along the way. ‘A likeable book about a likeable man. You’ll enjoy it.’ Irish Independent

‘An amazing portrait of how grifters came to be called visionaries and high finance lost its mind.’ Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of HabitThe definitive inside story of WeWork, its audacious founder, and the company''s epic unravelling from the journalists who first broke the story wide open.In 2001, Adam Neumann arrived in New York after five years as a conscript in the Israeli navy. Just over fifteen years later, he had transformed himself into the charismatic CEO of a company worth $47 billion. With his long hair and feel-good mantras, the six-foot-five Neumann looked the part of a messianic Silicon Valley entrepreneur. The vision he offered was mesmerizing: a radical reimagining of work space for a new generation. He called it WeWork.As billions of funding dollars poured in, Neumann''s ambitions grew limitless. WeWork wasn''t just an office space provider; it would build schools, create cities, even colonize Mars. In pursuit of its founder’s vision, the company spent money faster than it could bring it in. From his private jet, sometimes clouded with marijuana smoke, the CEO scoured the globe for more capital but in late 2019, just weeks before WeWork''s highly publicized IPO, everything fell apart. Neumann was ousted from his company, but still was poised to walk away a billionaire.Calling to mind the recent demise of Theranos and the hubris of the dotcom era bust, WeWork''s extraordinary rise and staggering implosion were fueled by disparate characters in a financial system blind to its risks. Why did some of the biggest names in banking and venture capital buy the hype? And what does the future hold for Silicon Valley ‘unicorns’? Wall Street Journal reporters Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell explore these questions in this definitive, rollicking account of WeWork''s boom and bust.

Churchill''s description of the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942, after Lt-Gen Percival''s surrender led to over 100,000 British, Australian and Indian troops falling into the hands of the Japanese, was no wartime exaggeration. The Japanese had promised that there would be no Dunkirk in Singapore, and its fall led to imprisonment, torture and death for thousands of allied men and women. With much new material from British, Australian, Indian and Japanese sources, Colin Smith has woven together the full and terrifying story of the fall of Singapore and its aftermath. Here, alongside cowardice and incompetence, are forgotten acts of enormous heroism; treachery yet heart-rending loyalty; Japanese compassion as well as brutality from the bravest and most capricious enemy the British ever had to face.

Jeho obvyklý pečlivý výzkum a bystrá analýza rozkrývají celosvětovou síť nekalé finanční a technologické kontroly, o jejíž existenci má málokdo tušení.*****Farrell se zabývá vytvářením odštěpené civilizace nacisty v Jižní Americe a dalších částech světa. Rozebírá vyspělou technologii, kterou si vzali s sebou na „konci“ druhé světové války, a analyzuje psychologickou válku, kterou po desetiletí vedli proti Americe a NATO. Ukazuje, jak odštěpená civilizace vybudovala obrovský systém skrytého financování, na němž se podílela (mimo jiné) i Vatikánská banka, a jak NATO vytvořilo rozsáhlou síť tajných válečných operací a politické černé fondy.

An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientistsDeep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

By 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 or older. The ageing population will affect all levels and arenas of Singapore society; individuals, families, and even organisations. The financial implications of this demographic transition have been a key concern for the government. Against the above backdrop, this book seeks to achieve the following. Firstly, to provide readers with a better understanding of the physical and psychological changes and illnesses as they age. Secondly, it looks at the infrastructure and tools to enable seniors to age-in-place as well as the necessary support and training for family and caregivers. The third aim highlights how and why we need to integrate older workers fully into the workplace, as well as the changes needed to attain this goal. Finally, this book emphasises that ageing should not be seen in a negative light and that there are vast opportunities and dividends that could result from longevity in the 21st century. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to facilitate older adults to age gracefully in Singapore, living out their golden years with dignity in the community, and be given the opportunities to continue to contribute meaningfully to society and live purposeful lives.

WINNER OF THE 1973 BOOKER PRIZE''We look on past ages with condescension, as a mere preparation for us... but what if we are a mere after-glow of them?'' Krishnapur, 1857: India is on the brink of a violent and bloody mutiny. In this remote town on the vast North Indian plain, life for the British is still orderly and genteel. But when the sepoys at the nearest military cantonment rise in revolt, the British community retreats with shock into the Residency. They prepare to fight for their lives with what weapons they can muster. As food and ammunition grow short when the British find themselves under actual siege, the true character of their dominion - at once brutal, blundering and wistful - is soon revealed.

This book is unique in that it discusses the nature of human suffering and how patients can be helped to overcome psycho-emotional pain through work with the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Emotional suffering and resistance to change can be an impediment to the healing process, with many physical conditions being resistant to treatment due to their psycho-emotional element. Understanding this suffering and providing a therapeutic environment which allows the patient to believe that things can be different improves the effectiveness of an Eight Extras treatment.Approaching the topic from the perspective of suffering means that the theory can be applied to both physical and emotional illness, including addiction, chronic pain, auto-immune conditions and hormonal disorders. This a very practical book and will include a full explanation of how to create an Eight Extras treatment and also case studies showing clinical use of the vessels and how to apply them. These case studies show how coping mechanisms and resistance develops and how important history is in the diagnostic process.

Afghanistan was an unwinnable war. As British and American troops withdraw, discover this definitive account that explains why. It could have been a very different story. British forces could have successfully withdrawn from Afghanistan in 2002, having done the job they set out to do: to defeat al-Qaeda. Instead, in the years that followed, Britain paid a devastating price for their presence in Helmand province. So why did Britain enter, and remain, in an ill-fated war? Why did it fail so dramatically, and was this expedition doomed from the beginning? Drawing on unprecedented access to military reports, government documents and senior individuals, Professor Theo Farrell provides an extraordinary work of scholarship. He explains the origins of the war, details the campaigns over the subsequent years, and examines the West''s failure to understand the dynamics of local conflict and learn the lessons of history that ultimately led to devastating costs and repercussions still relevant today.''The best book so far on Britain''s...war in Afghanistan'' International Affairs ''Masterful, irrefutable...

Ve Sluneční soustavě existuje mnoho dokladů i pozůstatků po katastrofických událostech vpravdě obřích rozměrů. Povrchy planet jsou doslova poseté záhadnými krátery a geologickými útvary, jejichž původ vědci nejsou schopni vysvětlit. Joseph P. Farrell detailně prostudoval mýty několika starověkých kultur a dospěl k závěru, že nereferují o srážkách nebeských těles, jak se domnívá převážná část dnešních badatelů, nýbrž o válce kosmického rozsahu, kterou mezi sebou v dávné minulosti rozpoutali inteligentní obyvatelé naší sluneční soustavy. Podrobně analyzuje povrchové geologické útvary, nejmodernější koncepty fyziky i texty starověkých Sumerů, Egypťanů, Indů, Řeků a Židů, aby sestavil argumentační rámec, z nějž vyplývá jeho provokativní teze: v blízkosti naší planety se kdysi odehrál ničivý meziplanetární konflikt, v němž znesvářené strany proti sobě použily zbraně nepředstavitelné ničivé síly. Čtenář se může těšit na poutavé vyprávění o plazmových technologiích a tajích skalární fyziky, pyramidách a dlouhověkých sumerských vládcích, obrech, mimozemšťanech i záhadných "Deskách osudů", které měly moc zničit jediným gigantickým výbuchem celou planetu. Autor také seznamuje se šokujícími objevy, které na povrchu Měsíce, Marsu či Saturnových satelitů učinily moderní výzkumné sondy a na něž upozornili na nedávno zveřejněných nahrávkách i američtí astronauti na Měsíci.

Studie o organizaci Hamás založená na reportážích, rozhovorech a analýze situace na Blízkém východě. Beverley Milton-Edwardsová, jedna z předních světových odbornic na Blízký východ a Stephen Farrell, žurnalista z agentury Reuters (dříve The New York Times), čtenářům zprostředkovávají erudované informace o ideových východiscích, záměrech a cílech Hamásu, organizaci, o níž se obecně mluví v souvislosti se světovou bezpečností. Ačkoliv Hamás působí na Blízkém východě už desetiletí a je předmětem mnoha politologických diskusí, v Čechách dosud nevyšla komplexní studie, která by organizaci popsala. České vydání navíc reflektuje aktuální situaci prostřednictvím doslovu Ireny Kalhousové. Kniha odráží letité zkušenosti Milton-Edwardsové a Farrella s výzkumem a reportážemi z okupovaného Západního břehu Jordánu a Gazy, Jeruzaléma a celého Blízkého východu. Autoři zúročili svůj bezkonkurenční přístup k Hamásu a na základě rozhovorů se členy zakladatelské generace a jejich nástupci, kteří nyní organizaci vedou, mohli popsat její vývoj a aktivity od počátku, přes útok na Izrael ze 7. října 2023 až po současné ničivé následky. Kniha tak přináší informace, jak se malá palestinská odnož Muslimského bratrstva stala výzvou pro dlouholeté soupeře, jako je OOP, kdo Hamás podporuje, jaký je jeho program a jak mocným se stal a nebo jak silný zůstane. Autoři dávají také prostor kritikům, kteří se domnívají, že k dosažení řešení blízkovýchodního konfliktu je třeba Hamás svrhnout, ale i příznivcům, jež věří, že právě Hamás je tím řešením. Faktem zůstává, že Hamás byl prohlášen za teroristickou hrozbu, ale vyhrál svobodné volby a ujal se vlády, ačkoliv výkonnou ani zákonodárnou moc nevykonává. Využil pak svou mocenskou základnu v Gaze k přeshraničním útokům, které zasáhly Izrael a změnily dynamiku izraelsko-palestinského konfliktu. Nikdo nyní nevěří, že Hamás lze ignorovat.
