* INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *A sweeping and evocative memoir from the Rock Roll Hall of Famer, Grammy Award–winning, platinum selling singer-songwriter Michael McDonald, written with his friend, Emmy Award–nominated actor, comedian, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Paul Reiser.Doobie Brothers. Steely Dan. Chart topping soloist. Across a half-century of American music, Michael McDonald’s unmistakably smooth baritone voice defined an era of rock and R B with hit records like “What A Fool Believes,” “Takin’ It to the Streets,” “I Keep Forgettin’,” “Peg,” “It Keeps You Running,” “You Belong to Me,” and “Yah Mo B There.”In his candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend, the Emmy Award-nominated actor and comedian Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970’s California, a heady moment of rock opportunity and excess. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him on a wild ride around the world and to the heights of rock stardom—from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of The Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R B artist.Interwoven with the unforgettable tales of the music, Michael tells a deeply affecting story of losing and finding himself as a man. He reckons with the unshakeable insecurities that drove him, the drug and alcohol addictions that plagued him, and the highs and lows of popularity. Along the way he relays the lessons he’s learned, and that if he’s learned anything at all it’s that there’s often little correlation between what you get and what you deserve.Filled with unbelievable stories and a matchless cast of music greats including James Taylor, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, and Quincy Jones, What a Fool Believes is a moving and entertaining memoir that is sure to be a classic.

O existenci útržkovitých deníkových záznamů, přibližujících nejbolestivější setkání Václava Havla s represivními složkami komunistické moci, neměl dlouho nikdo ponětí. Sám Václav Havel se o nich nikde nezmiňoval a ani v rozhovorech s nejbližšími se ke své vězeňské zkušenosti příliš nevracel. K jejich objevení došlo až před necelými dvěma lety, kdy David Dušek začal pořádat pozůstalost svého dědečka Zdeňka Urbánka - překladatele, esejisty a celoživotního rádce a přítele Václava Havla. V jedné z krabic s písemnostmi nalezl diář s poznámkami, jejichž rukopis se nápadně podobal písmu Václava Havla. Svou domněnku se rozhodl zkonzultovat s Annou Freimanovou, která byla s Václavem Havlem v úzkém kontaktu již od 80. let, a fantastický objev byl na světě: nezpochybnitelně autentická výpověď obviněného ve vyšetřovací vazbě. Krátce nato Dušek oslovil další tři blízké spolupracovníky Václava Havla - filozofa Martina Palouše, kanadského překladatele Paula Wilsona a diplomata a psychologa Michaela Žantovského - s prosbou o napsání esejů, které by Havlovy zápisky, nezřídka zkratkovité, pomohly rozkrýt a ozřejmit. Právě takto vznikl koncept knihy Václav Havel: Zápisky obviněného. Diář z jednoho z nejdramatičtějších období v Havlově životě přispívá k lepšímu chápání cíleného útoku moci na nekonformního spisovatele, jeho tehdejšího duševního rozpoložení, jeho myšlenkového i společenského okruhu a mučivého dilematu, před nějž byl postaven,” řekl spoluautor knihy, Havlův životopisec a ředitel Knihovny Václava Havla Michael Žantovský.

From Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, one of the most acclaimed history books of recent decades, Engineers of Victory is a new account of how the tide was turned against the Nazis by the Allies in the Second World War. In January 1943 Churchill and Roosevelt met in Casablanca to review the Allies war aims. To achieve unconditional surrender they had to overcome some formidable hurdles, from winning air command to hopping across the Pacific islands. Eighteen months later, they had done what seemed impossible.Here Paul Kennedy reveals the role of the problem-solvers and middle-men who made it happen - like Major-General Perry Hobart, who invented the funny tanks which flattened the D-Day beaches; or Captain Johnny Walker, who worked out how to sink U-boats with a creeping barrage . This book shows the conflict in an entirely new light. Consistently original ... An important contribution to our understanding Michael Beschloss, The New York Times Book Review [Kennedy s] refreshing study ... asks the right questions, disposes of clichés and gives a rich account of neglected topics David Edgerton, Financial Times Colourfully and convincingly illustrates the ingenuity and persistence of a few people who made all the difference Washington PostPAUL KENNEDY is one of the world s best-selling and most influential historians.

Brilliant, wise, humane, scientific, and kind. Beliefism is exactly what the doctor ordered - and it could change the world Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University Repeated throughout is the fine principle that whatever position you wish to argue on an issue, you must be honest about what bad effects, as well as good, will follow. Steven Poole, The TimesBeliefism (noun): Discrimination against people who disagree with us Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? Against abortion? For drug legalisation? We might like to think that we re tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own-even if they might have something useful to contribute to the debate. That means we re falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as Beliefism: discrimination against those with different beliefs to us.Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps - and how harmful that can be. Using the central metaphor of the duck-rabbit illusion-where the same image can be viewed as one animal or the other-the book shows that looking at an issue from only one perspective can lead to bad decisions and unnecessary conflict. The world would be a better place if there was less beliefism and Dolan shows how more tolerance is only possible by design . We need to embed less beliefism into our organisations and lives and he provides a checklist called EMBRACE to help us do that.Combining curiosity, irreverence and warmth, Beliefism is a definitive behavioural science take by a leader in his field. Whether it s among friends, at university or at work, being less beliefist will make you a better partner or parent, and a more effective buddy or boss.

A rare writer with the courage to tell Britain some home truths about itself and where it s headed. A much needed book . - Ian Dunt What Britain needs at the moment is not to be talked up or talked down, but simply a sense of itself that s underpinned by clarity and honesty... This is exactly what Michael Peel provides in this persuasive, good-humoured book. - Jonathan Coe A wake-up call for those still under the illusion that Great Britain plc punches above its weight . - Chris Mullin, author of A Very British Coup Entertaining and smart. - Geoff Norcott Michael Peel is a top class thinker and writer. This is a necessary book as well as an extremely entertaining one. - Simon Kuper Sharp, witty and eye-opening. As Peel convincingly argues, we can do so much better. - Matthew Parker, author of One Fine Day: Britain s Empire On the BrinkUPDATED EDITION FOLLOWING 2024 ELECTIONHow do you see Britain? That might depend on your point of view, and as long time British foreign correspondent, Michael Peel has come to understand, it can look very different from outside.It s tempting to think of the UK as a fundamentally stable and successful nation. But events of the past few years, from Brexit to exposés of imperial history, have begun to spark fierce public debates about whether that is true. Is Britain, just a marginal northern European island nation, marked by injustices, corruption and with a bloody history of slavery, repression and looting? And yet UK politics, media, and public opinion live constantly in the shadow of old myths, Second World War era nostalgia, and a belief in supposedly core British values of tolerance, decency and fair play. British politicians regularly exploit a damaging complacency that holds that everything will turn out okay, because, in Britain, it always does.In WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT BRITAIN, Michael Peel digs into the national consciousness with the perspective of distance to pull apart the ways in which we British have become unmoored from crucial truths about ourselves. He shows us that from many perspectives we are no different from other countries whose own national delusions have seen them succumb to abuses of power, increased poverty and divisive conflict.The battle over Britain s narrative is the struggle for its future and its place in the world. So, how do we escape the trick mirror - and see ourselves as we really are?

The first biography of Henry VIII⠙s court fool William Somer, a legendary entertainer and one of the most intriguing figures of the Tudor ageIn some portraits of Henry VIII there appears another, striking figure⠔a gaunt and morose-looking man with a shaved head and, in one case, a monkey on his shoulder. This is William or Will Somer, the king⠙s fool, a celebrated wit who reportedly could raise Henry⠙s spirits and spent many hours with him, often alone. Was Somer an ⠜artificial fool,⠝ a cunning comic who could speak freely in front of the king, or a ⠜natural fool,⠝ someone with intellectual disabilities, like many other members of the profession? And what role did he play in the tumultuous and violent Tudor era? Fool is the first biography of Somer⠔and perhaps the first of a Renaissance fool. After his death, Somer disappeared behind his legend, and historians struggled to separate myth from reality. Unearthing as many facts as possible, Peter K. Andersson pieces together the fullest picture yet of an enigmatic and unusual man with a very strange job. Somer⠙s story provides new insights into how fools lived and what exactly they did for a living, how monarchs and courtiers related to commoners and people with disabilities, and whether aspects of the Renaissance fool live on in the modern comedian. But most of all, we learn how a commoner without property or education managed to become the court⠙s chief mascot and a continuous presence at the center of Tudor power from the 1530s to the reign of Elizabeth I. Looking beyond stereotypes of the man in motley, Fool reveals a little-known world, surprising and disturbing, when comedy was something crueler and more unpleasant than we like to think.

At night, while the other villagers dreamed of catching fish, Lemuel dreamed of sailing over the horizon. Lemuel is a fisherman and a fool. When he sets out on a journey across the sea, he makes sure to tie a red scarf on the bow and a rope to the stern; with the scarf waving before him and the rope trailing behind, he ll always know he s going the right direction. Disoriented after a storm, Lemuel lands near a strange new village—except that it s strangely familiar, down to the woman who looks exactly like his own dear wife and even calls him by name. Later that night, a very confused Lemuel sets sail for home and away from the madness. With the red scarf before him and the rope trailing behind, he s confident he ll arrive at home again—and be safely back among the familiar.A great fan of Jewish folklore, especially the rich tradition of fools, Myron Uhlberg also looked to his own family for inspiration when writing Lemuel the Fool. His maternal grandfather, John, was consumed by wanderlust and the next great adventure. Young readers will enjoy the silly charm of Lemuel s journey, beautifully illustrated by Sonja Lamut.

Stephen Fry invites readers to take a glimpse at his life story in the unputdownable More Fool Me. Oh dear I am an arse. I expect there ll be what I believe is called an intervention soon. I keep picturing it. All my friends bearing down on me and me denying everything until my pockets are emptied. Oh the shame In his early thirties, Stephen Fry - writer, comedian, star of stage and screen - had, as they say, made it . Much loved in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, The Liar, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him. What could possibly go wrong?Then, as the 80s drew to a close, he discovered a most enjoyable way to burn the candle at both ends, and took to excess like a duck to breadcrumbs. Writing and recording by day, and haunting a never ending series of celebrity parties, drinking dens, and poker games by night, in a ludicrous and impressive act of bravado, he fooled all those except the very closest to him, some of whom were most enjoyably engaged in the same dance.He was - to all intents and purposes - a high functioning addict. Blazing brightly and partying wildly as the 80s turned to the 90s, AIDS became an epidemic and politics turned really nasty, he was so busy, so distracted by the high life, that he could hardly see the inevitable, headlong tumble that must surely follow . . .Containing raw, electric extracts from his diaries of the time, More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain - revealing a side to him he has long kept hidden.

A new understanding of our past Danny Dorling, author of Inequality and the 1% A spirited skewering of the idea that things can only get better The Guardian________________________________Progress is power. But our modern story of progress is a very dangerous fiction. In the pursuit of progress, of growth and expansion, we have levelled cities, flattened mountains, charted the globe and ushered in a new geological epoch unique in our planetâ ™s 4.5-billion-year history. The idea of progress has compelled societies toward exploration, invention, and grandiosity on one hand, and on the other, genocide, slavery, ecocide, and conquest: it is the root of our civilizationâ ™s success, as well as its looming demise.Geographer Samuel Miller McDonald offers a radical new perspective on the myth upon which the modern world is built, illuminating its blood-strewn lineage and suggesting an urgent alternative. He traces the history of how human societies broke from their pasts, broke from their environments, and broke from longstanding egalitarian values that sustained them, supplanting these with one imperative to rule all others: progress.If humanity is to have any chance of a future, then we must fundamentally change the way we think about one of our most basic political ideas. This landmark work shows us where to begin.________________________________ Progress explodes the great myth of our time.

An immersive journey through the tumultuous past and fascinating present of the south-western Pacific. Stretching from Fiji in the east to New Guinea in the west, Melanesia is astonishingly diverse. Its islands are home to some 1,200 language groups, many of them still isolated from the outside world. This complex region tends to make the news only in times of crisis: military coups in Fiji, Kanak unrest in New Caledonia, rioting in the Solomon Islands. Melanesia offers readers a deeper insight into the people and places behind these headlines, combining travelogue, history and astute political analysis.By land and sea, Hamish McDonald travels from one end of Melanesia to the other, uncovering the histories, values, aspirations and tensions that have shaped the region. He examines the impact of outsiders on local communities: the Indians recruited to work in Fiji; the white ⠘blackbirders⠙ who kidnapped Melanesians to labour in Australian cane fields; the Americans during the Second World War; the Indonesians in New Guinea. And he considers the big changes unfolding today, as shifting demographics and the growing influence of China produce a new balance of power across the region.Vividly written, Melanesia is essential reading for anyone looking to understand this fascinating part of the world and its growing international significance.
