'A beautifully expansive novel about race and class... Franklin's emotional and intellectual range is vast... An exceptional debut' - Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies'So smart, so moving, so earned; as soon as I finished, I started reading it again' - Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!'The precision and ecstasy of Rob Franklin's prose had me entranced. Great Black Hope marks the arrival of a breathtakingly talented writer'&nbsp;- Megha Majumdar, author of A Burning'Great Black Hope will allow you to vicariously experience a sweltering summer in the city - though this debut is much more than a simple tale of hedonism' - BBC Culture'Perfectly captures the heady atmosphere of a New York summer' - Dazed'A new voice in fiction to be reckoned with' Harper's Bazaar 'Best Books of 2025''A book about New York that's part love letter, part reckoning' - Guardian'Gripping' - Daily Mail An arrest for cocaine possession in the Hamptons on the last day of a sweltering summer leaves Smith, a young Black queer graduate, in a state of turmoil. Pulled into the court system and mandated treatment, he finds himself in an absurd but dangerous situation: his class protects him but his race does not. It is just weeks after the death of his beloved roommate Elle, a glamorous member of the Black elite, and he is still reeling from the tabloid spectacle - as well as the lingering question of how well he really knew his closest friend and what happened to her the night she died. When he flees to his hometown of Atlanta and generations of his family of doctors and college presidents and lawyers - the weight of expectations haunts him. Then&nbsp;Carolyn, the closest friend he has left, goes off the rails, Smith returns to New York only to lose himself in his old life, drawn back into the city's underworld. Will his search for the truth about Elle cost him his freedom and his future? Smith goes on a dizzying journey through the New York City nightlife circuit, anonymous recovery rooms, Atlanta's Black society set, police investigations and courtroom dramas, and a circle of friends coming of age in a new era. Great Black Hope is a propulsive, glittering story about what it means to exist between worlds, to be upwardly mobile yet spiralling downward and how to find a way back to hope.

Great Black Hope

The Trust Architect is a leadership doctrine for a world where technology moves faster than human judgment, and trust has become the most fragile-and most valuable-currency. In an era shaped by cyber risk, artificial intelligence, and invisible digital dependencies, traditional leadership models no longer hold. This book challenges leaders to rethink authority, responsibility, and decision-making in systems where failure is silent, breaches are systemic, and ethics lag behind innovation. Blending cybersecurity strategy, organizational psychology, and executive leadership, The Trust Architect introduces a new mental model for building resilient institutions-where trust is engineered, not assumed. Written for CXOs, CISOs, board members, and senior leaders, this book is not about tools or checklists. It is about mindset. It asks one uncomfortable question: who designs trust when systems outgrow human control?

'A book of such hugely ambitious scope'&nbsp;Financial Times'Gingeras's riveting book delves into the murky origins, effects and legacies of the most terrifying figures in the history of crime'&nbsp;The i'Gingeras writes well and joins the historical dots'&nbsp;TelegraphFew forces have shaped our world as powerfully - or as secretly - as mafias.Groups such as La Cosa Nostra, the Medellín Cartel, New York's Five Families, the Japanese yakuza and Russian vory are notorious, endlessly covered in news stories and popular media. Yet when official histories are written, their role in shaping nations, economies and societies is rarely acknowledged.In Mafia: A Global History, Ryan Gingeras draws on more than a decade of research to uncover this suppressed underworld history. Crossing centuries and continents, he introduces legendary figures - Al Capone, Pablo Escobar, Du Yuesheng - and explores the conditions, cultures and locales that gave birth to modern mafias: Sicily, Marseille, New York, Colombia, Tokyo. As he reconstructs the rise of a gang or the life of a gangster, he also charts the expanding power of states and the increasingly international reach of trade, crime and law enforcement. After all, governments define what is a crime and who is a criminal, and their agents create the strategies used to limit or defend against their threat.&nbsp;Beginning with bandits and ending with today's 'mafia states' - and&nbsp;the alarming blurring of lines between gangsters, corporations and political leaders - this sweeping narrative traces the evolution of organised crime in response to industrialisation, globalisation and technological change. By charting the origins, consolidation and transformation of mafias,&nbsp;Gingeras reveals not only where contemporary gangsters come from, but how they became central to our imagination and why they are the uncredited architects of the modern world.

The Shaping of the Parasocial Self

Political Epistemology

This book is the first English translation of a German classic in the social-historical historiography of science in the early modern period. It presents a reconstruction of the ‘Scientific Revolution’ based on a critical historical materialism. It argues that the dominant ideas, images, and philosophies of nature of that time were conditioned by humans’ practical and technological relationship with nature, and that they changed in accordance with the historical development of early capitalist society. Against economic reductionism, Lefèvre stresses the interdependence of material conditions of life and theories of nature on the basis of a critical study of sources and historical contexts. The book makes available an important study with related texts and contributes to the current debates on the intersection of historical and political epistemology.The series editors provide a conceptual and contextual introduction, including information on the political-epistemological background of the book first published in 1978.

Die Universität ist immer schon eine Institution der Virtualität gewesen. Sie nimmt andere Welten, Gesellschaften, Wissensformen, Naturen oder Techniken in den Blick und ist eine Institution der Spekulationen ohne doppelten Boden - vor allem aber ein Raum des Austauschs, der Zirkulation und der Kommunikation sowie der Medien, die all dies ermöglichen. Die Beiträge machen Virtualität nicht nur zum Gegenstand, sondern begreifen sie als Medium der Forschung, der Lehre und der Universität. Sie erinnern an das, was wir tun, wenn wir an der Universität forschen und lehren und dabei über diese Institution nachdenken, indem wir die Möglichkeiten ihrer Zukünfte und die Versprechen ihrer Vergangenheiten ausloten.

How can a particular way of argumenting direct our thinking? How does the formulation of a question influence the answer, producing a bias or an insight? And finally, what effect does public communication have on public behaviour?Psychorhetoric and the Psychology of Thought illustrates the role played by rhetoric and communicative heuristics in the psychology of thinking and decision making, and its effect on many areas of our daily life. It gives voice to a new and unconventional approach to the contemporary debate within the psychology of thought that has wide implications for key behavioural phenomena, including biases, creativity, decision making, and public policy. This innovative work challenges conventional wisdom by proposing that cognitive biases are not inherent flaws in human cognition, but rather outcomes of misleading communication patterns that influence our thinking processes.This unconventional approach to the psychology of thought has significant implications for creativity, decision making, economic behaviour, and public policy development. Essential reading for students and researchers in cognitive psychology, communication studies, and behavioural economics, this volume promises to reshape our understanding of human rationality and the communicative forces that guide it.

Don Winslow’s acclaimed fiction collection, featuring “Crime 101,” soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .&nbsp;Hailed as “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow presents&nbsp;six intense short novels with characters—some familiar, some new—&nbsp;connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt, and redemption. It includes:<ul><li>Crime 101: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101.”&nbsp;Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels.&nbsp;But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man.&nbsp;Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score.&nbsp;And Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101…</li><li>Broken: Police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call on a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang.&nbsp;It’s her own kid, Danny.&nbsp;Then Eva makes her own call.&nbsp;Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Eva commands: Avenge your brother.&nbsp;I want you to kill them all.</li><li>The Last Ride: To former soldier and cowboy-turned-Border Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is, until he sees the little girl in the cage. And Cal knows that the time has come to make a stand and help her escape.</li></ul>With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that have become classics of crime fiction.“While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques&nbsp;— from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the&nbsp;rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke&nbsp;— he's not 'copying' anyone. He's writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work. . . . Every piece in&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is a winner and compellingly different.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;The Day&nbsp;(CT)“Broken&nbsp;will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;thinks Winslow is simply ‘the greatest.’ . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . .&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is devastating and brilliant.” —&nbsp;Sydney Morning Herald

A Novella

Crime 101 [Movie Tie-in]

Senior executives are drowning in information, trapped in meetings, and making consequential decisions without the time or space to think. More tools haven't solved the problem. They've amplifi ed it. When decision-making falters, the cost isn't ineffi ciency-it's stalled initiatives, strategic misalignment, and capital deployed to low-return bets.

In Artificial Organizations, Barry O'Reilly shows how to redesign the way you sense, frame, decide, and act by combining human and machine intelligence. You begin by identifying the traits that make you most effective, followed by the tasks where you create disproportionate value. Only then do you apply AI tools-so they sharpen judgment instead of adding noise.

Using this system will help you:
¿ increase decision velocity without sacrifi cing rigor
¿ improve decision quality under sustained pressure
¿ turn meetings and conversations into compounding information assets
¿ build a personal AI operating system that reinforces executive presence
¿ move from scattered productivity gains to durable decision advantage

Grounded in more than a decade advising CEOs and executive teams-and informed by building and scaling Nobody Studios, a global Top 10 AI venture studio-O'Reilly distills this experience into practical judgment infrastructure for the age of intelligence. 

Featuring real-world case studies from Amazon, American Airlines, Dotwork, HSBC, Progyny, Skyscanner, Slack, and more, Artifi cial Organizations shows how leading organizations have redesigned how decisions get made-not simply how work gets automated. 

This isn't about learning new tools. It's about transforming how you lead-so clarity, conviction, and results strengthen as speed increases across your organization.
