Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order - Ray Dalio

From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before. A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realisation sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years. In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - putting into perspective the #39;Big Cycle #39; that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history.Dalio reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead.

Under the Hornbeams - Emma Tarlo

A unique, life-affirming memoir about the authorÂ’s friendship with two men living in Regent s Park, London. IÂ’m not homeless: this is my home! Nick points to the branches of the hornbeam under which we are standing, its leaves still glistening in the aftermath of the morning rain. On one of the lower branches sits a robin, joining our conversation. It seems to be saying: Why should anyone want to leave this place?Nick and Pascal live and sleep outside in central London. They are an unusual duo: Nick is an avid reader of history and philosophy able to converse on any topic; Pascal is quiet, spending much of his time lying still, communicating silently with birds and animals. They have lived alongside each other in LondonÂ’s streets for nearly two decades, yet do not identify as homeless. For the past five years they have taken shelter under the hornbeam trees in RegentÂ’s Park.Emma Tarlo first meets Nick and Pascal when out walking. Gradually through the sharing of food, conversation and life stories they develop a friendship. Emma is impressed by their unique way of experiencing both the hardship and pleasures of life outside, and their conversations under the open sky prompt Emma to question many things in her own life, transforming her understanding of what freedom might look like.Under the Hornbeams follows the seasons of a single year through sun, wind, rain and snow. Returning to the park almost daily, Emma meets the community of people, dogs and birds who gravitate around Nick and Pascal and discovers the precarious networks of giving and receiving that exist undetected in LondonÂ’s streets. The result is a life-affirming story that pays homage to the power of human connection and upturns many of our preconceptions about home, family, work and community. This is a book that will stay with you long after reading.

Nothing New Under The Sun - J.C. Ryan

The more Carter Devereux, a professor of archeology, researches and studies the history of the human species, the more he becomes convinced that Solomon was onto something when he said: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 -11 (Circa 940 BC). Carter’s research and exploration into this history takes him to South America, India, and the Middle East, where he makes mind-boggling discoveries which challenge our entire view of human history. And before long, Carter finds himself with not only a large number of critics from across the world, but also a number of ardent followers. Through the ages kings, rulers, power seekers and governments, have been trying secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, to get their hands on artifacts believed to have immense power. Examples include the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, Bachal Isu – the staff of Moses, carried by David, and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, the Spear of Destiny, the time machine “the glock” created by the Germans during WWII, and ancient lost cities with hidden fortunes of gold and artifacts with unimaginable powers. There is a no shortage of unscrupulous, power hungry people who will do anything, including kill, to possess these relics- if they exist. Most frightening of them all are the ancient texts that speak of earth’s destruction by nuclear weapons thousands of years ago. Do those nuclear weapons still exist? If so where are they? Can Carter Devereux discover them before anyone else can? ~~~ Nothing New Under The Sun is the first book in J C Ryan’s Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series: a full-length novel and a thought-provoking mystery about the discovery of antediluvian human civilizations and the terrifying consequences of digging up the past.

Under the Volcano - Malcolm Lowry

One of the twentieth century s great undisputed masterpieces, Malcolm Lowry s Under the Volcano includes an introduction by Michael Schmidt in Penguin Modern Classics.It is the fiesta Day of the Dead in the small Mexican town of Quauhnahuac. In the shadow of the volcano, ragged children beg coins to buy skulls made of chocolate, ugly pariah dogs roam the streets and Geoffrey Firmin - ex-consul, ex-husband, an alcoholic and a ruined man - is living out the last day of his life. Drowning himself in mescal while his former wife and half-brother look on, powerless to help him, the consul has become an enduring tragic figure. As the day wears on, it becomes apparent that Geoffrey must die. It is his only escape from a world he cannot understand. His story, the image of one man s agonised journey towards Calvary, became a prophetic book for a whole generation.Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957) was born and died in England. Between school and studying English at St Catherine s College, Cambridge he spent five months at sea as a deckhand, an experience which gave him the material for his first novel, Ultramarine (1933). After marrying in Paris, he moved to New York where he completed In Ballast to the White (1936). Under The Volcano was begun in Hollywood, coloured by a short stay in the Mexico that it describes, and eventually finished in Dollarton, British Columbia.

Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer - Kirsti Huurre

â ˜A captivating story of courage, belief, and disillusionment under the persistent tyranny of Russian imperialism. Even after 90 years, Kirstiâ ™s story is a testament to the ongoing fight for Freedom. - Ana Khizanishvili, Human Rights LawyerUnder the Sickle and the Sledgehammer was originally published in 1942, as war still raged between Finland and the Soviet Union.The author of this memoir, Kirsti Huurre (a pseudonym, since it was far too risky to reveal her real name), was a Finnish woman who immigrated to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, convinced the new egalitarian state and workersâ ™ paradise would provide a better life for her and her young son; she was hopeful that, once settled, she would be able to send for him. What followed was vastly different to what was promised: a life filled with fear, suspicion, violence and state-run propaganda that spun a web of lies around its people. Kirsti eventually escaped â “ defying the odds when so many of her friends and loved ones did not.Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer is the first English translation of what became the second most censored book â “ second only to Mein Kampf â “ from Finnish libraries after the war. This is a gripping and valuable account of life in Stalinâ ™s oppressive Soviet Union.

England Under the Tudors - G.R. Elton

â ˜Anyone who writes about the Tudor century puts his head into a number of untamed lionsâ ™ mouths.â ™ G.R. Elton, PrefaceGeoffrey Elton (1921â “1994) was one of the great historians of the Tudor period. England Under the Tudors is his major work and an outstanding history of a crucial and turbulent period in British and European history. Revised several times since its first publication in 1955, England Under the Tudors charts a historical period that witnessed monumental changes in religion, monarchy, and government â “ and one that continued to shape British history long after. Spanning the commencement of Henry VII s reign to the death of Elizabeth I, Eltonâ ™s magisterial account is populated by many colourful and influential characters, from Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cranmer, and Thomas Cromwell to Henry VIII and Mary Queen of Scots. Elton also examines aspects of the Tudor period that had been previously overlooked, such as empire and commonwealth, agriculture and industry, seapower, and the role of the arts and literature.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Diarmaid MacCulloch.

Under the Eye of the Big Bird - Hiromi Kawakami

In the distant future, humans are on the verge of extinction and have settled in small tribes across the planet under the observation and care of the Mothers. Some children are made in factories, from cells of rabbits and dolphins; some live by getting nutrients from water and light, like plants. The survival of the race depends on the interbreeding of these and other alien beings - but it is far from certain that connection, love, reproduction, and evolution will persist among the inhabitants of this faltering new world. Unfolding over geological eons, Under the Eye of the Big Bird is at once an astonishing vision of the end of our species as we know it and a meditation on the qualities that, for better and worse, make us human.

Under the World - Oscar Guardiola-Rivera

This is a roots rave manifesto / to free literature . The second installment in Oscar Guardiola-Rivera s Night of the World trilogy, Out of the World continues Hoodoo Girl s adventures, alongside the trickster Ix. This mythopoetic narrativeâ “told in three episodesâ “is inspired by the Mayan epic Popol Vuh, where â ˜plot is overrated and musicality abounds. Lay your ear to the ground and follow these unearthly threads, the syncopated beats where the colonial encounter animates the Angel of History to reveal the masquerade that surrounds us all.In this second installment of Night of the World, Oscar Guardiola-Rivera elaborates in kaleidoscopic poetic form his ongoing, multi-scalar inquiry of how the open veins of the Americas are a burrow or cave from which emerge so many critical monsters, creative motions, moral ironies, and cosmos-shaking events. Intertwining touchstones of the Americas (such as the Popol Vuh) with the contemporaneity of their historical crises (colonialism to current trade zones and migrations), this book puts the root-work of the creation of the Americas in front of its legatees, beginnings poised to be instantiated. Black Legend be damned. Guardiola-Riveraâ ™s Under the World: Night of the World is a declarative, ambitious encomium for the emergence of historical Latin America as a present-day unified economic, cultural, and political powerhouse on the world stage. â ”Edgar Garcia, author of Emergency: Reading the Popol Vuh in a Time of Crisis
