**LONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024** 'Riveting and explosive. This is the business story of our time.' Christopher Leonard, New York Times Bestselling Author of Kochland and The Lords of Easy Money 'A hard-hitting analysis of Amazon's dominance. Makes a compelling case that no company should be this powerful.' Financial Times --- From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating exposé of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it. For over twenty years, Amazon was the quintessential American success story, whilst its "customer obsession" approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. But the company was not benevolent; it operated in ways that ensured it stayed on top, coming to dominate over a dozen industries beyond retail, growing voraciously by abusing data, exploiting partners, copying competitors, and avoiding taxes-leveraging its power to extract whatever it could, at any cost and without much scrutiny. Until now. With unparalleled access, and having interviewed hundreds of people - from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive - Dana Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy. In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century. As Amazon's supremacy is finally challenged, The Everything War is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world - and why this is the most consequential business story of our times. Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award 2024, announced August 2024.

Amazon’s Ruthless Quest to Own the World and Remake Corporate Power

The Everything War

A framework for knowledge ownership that challenges the mechanisms of inequality in modern society. Scholars of science, technology, medicine, and law have all tended to emphasize knowledge as the sum of human understanding, and its ownership as possession by law.&nbsp;Breaking with traditional discourse on knowledge property as something that concerns mainly words and intellectual history, or science and law,&nbsp;Dagmar Schäfer, Annapurna Mamidipudi, and&nbsp;Marius Buning&nbsp;propose technology as a central heuristic for studying the many implications of knowledge ownership.&nbsp;Toward this end, they&nbsp;focus on the notions of knowledge and ownership in courtrooms, workshops, policy, and research practices, while also shedding light on scholarship itself as a powerful tool for making explicit the politics inherent in knowledge practices and social order.&nbsp;&nbsp; The book presents case studies showing how diverse knowledge economies are created and how inequalities arise from them. Unlike scholars who have fragmented this discourse across the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and history, the editors&nbsp;highlight recent developments in the emerging field of the global history of knowledge—as science, as economy, and as culture.&nbsp;The case studies reveal how notions of knowing and owning emerge because they reciprocally produce and determine each other’s limits and possibilities; that is, how we know inevitably affects how we can own what we know; and how we own always impacts how and what we are able to know. Contributors Dagmar Schäfer, Annapurna Mamidipudi, Cynthia Brokaw, Marius Buning, Viren Murthy, Marjolijn Bol, Amy E. Slaton, James Leach, Myles W. Jackson, Lissant Bolton, Vivek S. Oak, Jörn Oeder

Ownership of Knowledge

"Her work is a movement. It's transformative." - Misty Copeland, American ballet dancerNo one told you that becoming a mother would also mean becoming your baby's lawyer.This book makes sure you're a damn good one. Give your child the gift of a mother who knows her rights.I'm an employment lawyer. I've spent 15 years fighting for women who've been pushed out, passed over, or punished at work for the audacity of having a baby. I've won millions for my clients. And I've learned something along the way: most mothers have no idea what they're legally entitled to. Not moms, not bosses, not HR, and honestly, not most lawyers either.This book fixes that.Inside Moms in Labor, you'll get: <ul><li>The actual laws that protect you (not the watered-down version in the handbook)</li><li>Word-for-word scripts for every awkward conversation: announcing your pregnancy, requesting leave, negotiating accommodations, and handling "that boss"</li><li>How to extend your leave, secure telework or flexibility, and keep your job and benefits intact</li><li>The strategies I teach my clients to advocate like a lawyer, without the expense</li></ul> Plus, the stories I've never told publicly, like the time I accidentally soaked a judge's sandwich in breastmilk during a jury trial. I share lessons from my own career, my trials, my losses, and the hundreds of mothers I've represented, so you can learn from what we went through without having to go through it yourself.When you announce your pregnancy at work, you're entering a negotiation. Your employer has an HR department, a legal team, and decades of corporate policy designed to protect their interests. Your baby has you. Just you. During the most vulnerable, exhausted, emotional chapter of your life, navigating the most important negotiation you've never been trained for.This book is the training.Your baby doesn't need a perfectly composed woman who quietly adjusts. Your baby needs a good lawyer.

Embrace motherhood without compromising your career.

An Employment Lawyer’s Secrets To Protect Your Baby and Your Career (That HR Won’t Tell You)

Moms in Labor

Marianna Simnetts (*1986) traumartige, surreale Welten führen in ein Labyrinth aus zersplitterten Realitäten und unheimlichen Begegnungen. Mit Video, Künstlicher Intelligenz, Skulptur, Malerei und Musik erschafft die Künstlerin raumgreifende Installationen, die gleichzeitig verführen und verstören. Simnetts enge Verbindung zu den Ideen des Surrealismus wird zentral beleuchtet.

Marianna Simnetts Ausstellung Headless umfasst sieben Werkjahre und vereint neue und frühere Werke der Künstlerin und beleuchtet ihre enge Verbindung zum Surrealismus. In der neu geschaffene Gemäldeserie Headless nimmt sie direkten Bezug auf Max Ernsts Collageroman "La femme 100 têtes" (1929). Sie verwebt in ihrer traumartigen Gesamtinstallation drängende Fragen zu Geschlechterhierarchien, Metamorphosen, Verletzlichkeit, Kontrolle und Schmerz. Durch mythologische Themen verbindet sie in ihrer multidisziplinären Praxis Vergangenheit und Gegenwart und erschafft eigene Alter Egos.

Marianna Simnett

A moving and harrowing portrait of the lives of Iranians across five decades, tracing the promise of the 1979 Iranian revolution, its betrayal by forces of autocracy, and a people’s undying spirit of resistance "One of the most perceptive books on modern Iran in years." —The New York Times Book Review "The best book to understand Iran today. . . . impossible to put down." —EDWARD FISHMAN, author of Chokepoints "A masterwork of reporting. . . . a kind of skeleton key for understanding the present moment." —JONATHAN BLITZER, author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here In 1979, a revolution in Iran swept aside a monarchy, fueled by the Iranian people’s dreams of social justice and political freedom. But in the years that followed, the movement’s leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, and his acolytes instead built a system that served their narrow faction and worsened beyond imagination the brutality and corruption that had existed under the previous government. In Stolen Revolution, award-winning journalists Yeganeh Torbati and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin tell the entwined stories of six Iranians who, together, have lived the arc of modern Iranian history in all its bitter twists and enduring hopes. We meet Mehdi Karroubi, a devotee of Khomeini, who rose to the heights of power before being cast out of the inner circle. Hila Sedighi, a young activist, gave voice through her poetry to her peers’ hopes and shattered dreams. Amir Moghadam, an ambitious government bureaucrat, witnessed corruption and graft on a scale that impelled him to take enormous risks to expose the truth. Said Rahmani returned to Iran to spark a start-up boom in his native country and encountered a ruthless security state. And Rozhin Yousefzadeh and Kosar Eftekhari, both born in the 1990s, joined a mass movement that confronted a ferocious state apparatus: the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. All have paid an enormous price for resisting the government’s strangling rule. Today, Iran is caught between crisis and hope. In this vivid and unforgettable narrative, Stolen Revolution centers ordinary Iranians and their destiny, and conveys a gutting view of life in a modern authoritarian state.

Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran

Stolen Revolution

Anyone exploring the field of antisemitism will find a myriad of written statements testifying to the hostility against Jews. Not as common and not as well-known are three-dimensional and other visual testimonies of antisemitism; what you could call 'illusions' about Jews. These illusions represent Jews in varying degrees of (un)realism, revealing the stereotypical and often hateful ideas that underlie them. Almost all these kinds of antisemitic objects were designed in Europe, primarily in the period from the 18th century up to the Second World War. Antwerp collector Gideon Finkelstein has been collecting antisemitica for more than forty years, making his collection currently the largest collection of its kind. The more than 400 objects form a unique visual record of the pervasiveness of antisemitism. They were made in order to create, shape and reinforce Jewish stereotypes, representing, in coded form, acts of discrimination and even extermination. At the same time, the collection also includes images of Jews that have been created by Jewish artists for Jewish customers since the late 19th century. Supported by a renewed sense of Jewish identity and confidence, such 'Jewish images of Jews' were meant to replace the previously prevalent negative stereotypes, although these creations were in the beginning quite stereotypical in their own way. Many of these objects originate from the private sphere of their owners and were used on a daily basis. Some are also of great artistic value. This book describes the objects of this largely unknown collection of three-dimensional antisemitic images in detail, interpreting them in their historical context. If we have a better understanding of what antisemitism is and what it looks like, we should be able to recognize it in time

Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual. Today the power of her art, like predications from the past, are rivetingly real. This publication offers rich intellectual insight into the relevance of this Polish artist to the threatened present—a time in which geopolitical shifts between East and West and predictions of the Club of Rome (1972) and climate scientists are becoming a worldwide reality. And here Abakanowicz’s vision on nature and the human condition is explored in a uniquely inspired way: by engaging seven artists/collaboratives to reflect in deeply personal ways on their art through dialogues with historians, philosophers, and other thinkers. This “counterpoint" launches discussion around the human condition in a post-humanist time, collective identity, trauma, climate change, unending destruction of the planet, and more. Finally, the uncommon approach of this show and book demonstrates how the elder artist’s art and life is a lens through which not only these artists but we can reconsider our place in the world.Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION Includes the true story of how two of the victims of the 'black cab rapist', taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys, joined forces with Harriet Wistrich to sue the Metropolitan Police for the failures of their investigation - now a major new ITV drama: 'BELIEVE ME'. An essential, must-read book about how the UK legal system is failing women, as told by one of Britain's foremost lawyers. 'This is a brilliant and important book. Harriet is a trailblazer and has done so much to get justice for so many women.' - Victoria Derbyshire 'Compelling, inspiring, horrifying and humbling in equal measure. Everybody should read it.' - Professor Dame Sue Black, author of All That Remains 'Every feminist should know Harriet Wistrich's name. There is no one better to learn from if you want to Get Shit Done.' - Helen Lewis, author of Difficult Women 'A shocking, sobering and galvanising account of her astonishing legal career fighting for women in a legal system that is all too often stacked against them' - Caroline Criado Perez ***** For more than quarter of a century, Harriet Wistrich has fought the corner of people from all walks of life let down by our justice system. She has been at the forefront of some historic and ground-breaking legal victories, from helping the victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys, to representing a pioneering group of the women caught up in the 'spy cops' scandal - women deceived into forming long-term relationships with men later revealed to be undercover police officers. Litigation can be a long and rocky path of pitfalls and dead ends and there are defeats as well as gains, hours of painstaking work as well as courtroom drama. It takes collaboration, extraordinary tenacity and huge compassion, but Harriet Wistrich is proof that it is possible to demand better justice and to bring about important change. Exploring landmark cases, Sister in Law covers the shocking true stories demonstrating that, terrifyingly often, the law is not-fit-for-purpose for half the population and shines a feminist light on the landscape of arcane laws and systems skewed towards men. ***** Praise for Sister in Law: 'Shocking, compelling and invigorating... A must read from one of the foremost feminist human rights lawyers today' Keina Yoshida &amp; Jen Robinson 'A brilliant lawyer. A brilliant book' - Baroness Helena Kennedy KC 'Harriet's innovative, intense and courageous commitment to safeguarding basic rights, is compellingly set out in every chapter.' - Michael Mansfield KC 'A vivid account of cases in which the justice system has spectacularly failed women but also of how injustices can be challenged if only we know enough and care enough to do so.' - Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE 'If I was ever in trouble, I would want Harriet Wistrich fighting in my corner.' - Emeritus Professor David Wilson, author of My Life with Murderers

Think Again

Two expert thinkers tackle one of the most difficult and divisive issues of our times: assisted dying'Absolutely fantastic. It gives you a deep sense of the morality, the legality, the technicality. Invaluable' XAND VAN TULLEKEN 'Nuanced and thoughtful' OBSERVERAs pressure grows to legalise assisted dying in the UK, this book illuminates the legal and ethical fault lines at the heart of the debate. Lady Hale, former president of the Supreme Court, argues that everyone should have the freedom to decide the time and manner of their own death. Drawing on real cases in real courts, she explores how the law might establish e­ffective safeguards while preserving an individual's right to decide for themselves when their suffering becomes unbearable.Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, sits in opposition, contending that no such right can ever be absolute, or unqualified. He raises moral and practical concerns about the protection of vulnerable communities - especially those living with disabilities - the pressures facing an already overstretched NHS and the risk that assisted dying could become a substitute for properly funded palliative care.Both confront the decisions we all must face: who should be eligible for assisted dying; how should the programme be authorised; and what modern medicine could, and should, provide. Ultimately, they turn to a deeper challenge: how a public healthcare system can universally uphold dignity, and what it would truly mean to offer us all what we profoundly deserve - a good death.Published in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, the world's leading curator of debate, this book is part of the Think Again series: short books that present two contrasting but equally persuasive views in a single volume

"The rarest of business books, one that provides genuinely actionable counsel delivered without empty cliches." - KIRKUSHow many world-changing startups will fail because the founders and investors never figure out how to work together? Founder Elizabeth Zalman and Investor Jerry Neumann square off in this one-of-a-kind book, exposing how startups are built, broken, and fought over. Every iconic tech company was once a startup. And while these companies like to paint an origin story full of surefooted confidence, the truth is usually something different: the early life of most startups is pure chaos.This chaos comes from the vastly different motivations and incentives between those with the vision and those with the money. From fundraising paranoia to boardroom coups, Zalman and Neumann train their inimitable voices on the gulf between what founders and investors promise to do and what they end up actually doing.Founder vs Investor is the brutal truth, from each side's perspective, of the pitfalls of this tenuous relationship--where bad blood can turn sure things into shattered dreams. It is the only book written by insiders with the temerity to pull back the curtain on the world of high growth venture-backed startups.

From the popular creator of @LawByMike, a hilarious guide to all your legal questions—from the obscure to the downright absurd.&nbsp; Could you be arrested if you let your kids have a few sips of wine with dinner? Is it illegal to lie on your dating profile? Can a python be an emotional support animal?

That's Illegal! is a book of legal insight from a practicing lawyer who’s seen it all. Using the same light-heartedness and humor that made his social account @LawByMike so popular, Mandell covers a wide range of topics from police encounters (Is it illegal to do a U-turn at a DUI checkpoint?) to party fouls (What’s the penalty for streaking?) to legal disputes (Can I sue my own lawyer for doing a bad job?).
