Trotman K: Dark, Dirty, Dangerous

Dark, Dirty, Dangerous

Building the Vibrant Future of Manufacturing

The Economist, Best Books of 2024 The Times, Best Ideas Books of 2024 A uniquely data-rich analysis of the British elite from the Victorian era to today: who gets in, how they get there, what they like and look like, where they go to school, and what politics they perpetuate. Are Britain's power brokers a conservative chumocracy, born to privilege and anointed at Eton and Oxford? Or is a new progressive elite emerging with different values and political instincts? In search of answers, Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman scrutinized the profiles of over 125,000 members of the British elite from the late 1890s to today. At the heart of this meticulously researched study is the historical database of Who's Who, but Reeves and Friedman also mined genealogical records, examined probate data, and interviewed over 200 leading figures from a wide range of backgrounds to uncover who runs Britain. What they found is that there is less movement at the top than we think. Yes, there has been some progress on including women and Black and Asian Brits, but those born into the top 1 percent are just as likely to get into the elite today as they were 125 years ago. What has changed is how elites present themselves. Today's elite pedal hard to convince us they are perfectly ordinary. Why should we care? Because the elites we have affect the politics we get. While scholars have long proposed that the family you are born into, and the schools you attend, leave a mark on the exercise of power, the empirical evidence has been thin-until now.

The Making and Remaking of the British Elite

Born to Rule

For the first time ever, one of the world's most iconic business leaders shares the story of his remarkable life and career.Ken Chenault has lived his life at the confluence of the historical forces that have shaped modern America, keenly aware of both the burdens of its past and the dynamic potential of its future. Born in 1951, when segregation was still inscribed in the laws of the land, he ascended to the peak of corporate America over the course of the next fifty years. In his thoughtful and wide-ranging memoir, Chenault reflects on his personal journey, the mentors who shaped him, and his lifelong quest to realize his own potential and make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Equal to the Task is a classic American story for our times.After joining American Express, Chenault steadily worked his way up to the very top. He led the company for almost two decades, driving market-leading innovations, before stepping down and making another surprising life choice. Eschewing the more traditional roles for former CEOs, he joined a dynamic venture capital firm, seeking to help build enduring companies that leverage technology for both profit and purpose. Over the past years, he has continued to be a steady voice of moral clarity in the public and private sectors."In these pages, I share how I managed the opportunities and challenges encountered over the course of my life and career. In doing so, I hope to convey the values I hold most dear. Values passed down to me by my ancestors, my parents, my teachers, my heroes, and my mentors. These values have guided me throughout my journey, and I consider them pivotal to meeting these extraordinary times as my country wrestles with its own identity, its future, and its role in the 21st century."

A Leadership Memoir

Equal to the Task

Felicia's Favourites is a powerful story of family secrets, and one mother's extraordinary legacy, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel. Felicia Weston leaves her five daughters more than just cherished memories as it is revealed that she led a double life keeping the long-held secret of her celebrated pen name and her extraordinary career as a famous bestselling novelist. Devastated at the loss of their mother, and wishing they'd known her better, the girls come together to learn that the legacy included a substantial inheritance and a picturesque Connecticut farmhouse, a sanctuary where Felicia wrote most of her novels and enjoyed a loving relationship of which her daughters had no knowledge. Each of the sisters is confronting a personal crossroads. From mending the scars of a disastrous marriage and navigating life-altering injuries, to untangling forbidden loves and facing the harsh light of truth on infidelity, each journey is as unique as the women themselves. Bound by blood and complexity, can the precious sanctuary their mother left behind be the catalyst for individual renewal and family unity? Or will it simply unravel the threads that bind them? The pain of loss brings blessings of its own. And love, betrayal, secrets, and the enduring legacy of one remarkable mother can transform lives forever.

A limited hardcover deluxe edition of the modern classic Pachinko—named one of the New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century—following four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fighting to control their destiny in 20th-Century Japan. Features: <ul><li> New hardcover jacket with special effects </li><li> Four-color specially designed endpapers </li><li> Specially designed foil stamped case </li><li> Stenciled edges </li><li> Ribbon bookmark </li></ul> History is seldom kind. In Min Jin Lee’s acclaimed and magisterial novel, four generations of a poor, proud immigrant family fight to control their destinies while exiled from their homeland. In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant—and that her lover is married—she refuses to bend to his will. Instead she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home and reject her son’s powerful father sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of one of Japan’s finest universities to pachinko parlors and the criminal underworld, Lee’s complex and passionate characters—resilient, fierce women, devoted sisters, bright sons, fathers shaken by moral crises—survive and flourish against the indifferent arc of history.

Cleopatra

After a decade of yearning for parenthood, years marked by miscarriage after miscarriage, Hala Alyan makes the decision to use a surrogate. In this charged time, she turns to the archetype of the waiting woman - the Scheherazade who tells stories to ensure another dawn - to confront her own narratives of motherhood, love and inheritance. As her baby grows in the body of another woman, in another country, Hala finds her own life unravelling - a husband who wants to leave; the cost of past traumas and addictions threatening to resurface; the city of her youth, Beirut, on the brink of crisis. She turns to family stories and communal myths: of grandmothers mapping their lives through Palestine, Kuwait, Suria, Lebanon; of eradicated villages and invading armies; of places of refuge that proved only temporary; of men that left and women that stayed; of the contradictions of her own Midwestern childhood, and adolescence in various Arab cities. A stunningly lyrical and brutally honest quest for motherhood, selfhood and peoplehood, I''ll Tell You When I''m Home is a powerful story of unravelling and becoming, of destruction and redemption, and of homelands lost and recreated.

I'll Tell You When I'm Home

Smart Strategies for Long term Care, Family Conversations and Legacy Protection

THE JUST-IN-CASE PLAN

"2.5 Billion Heartbeats is not just a leadership book-it is a wake-up call. A reminder that leadership has never been about titles, corner offices, or authority, but about influence, intention, and the posture of our hearts. Every human life is given roughly 2.5 billion heartbeats, and the question this book dares to ask is simple and unsettling: What are you doing with yours? In a world exhausted by pressure, performance, and empty definitions of success, this book challenges us to slow down long enough to remember that "leadership is not what you do to people, but what you awaken within them."

Written for business leaders, parents, spouses, coaches, teachers, and everyday people who shape lives without ever holding a formal title, 2.5 Billion Heartbeats reframes leadership as deeply personal and profoundly human. This is a call to lead at work-but also at home. To understand that "who you are becoming matters more than what you are achieving," and that the way we show up for our families, our teams, and our communities leaves a legacy far beyond numbers or accolades. Through powerful stories, hard truths, and the H.E.A.R.T. leadership model, this book confronts the lie that leadership belongs to a few and boldly declares that "every heartbeat carries influence, and every life leaves a mark."

At its core, this book is an invitation-to live, love, and lead differently. To stop chasing applause and start building trust. To move from burnout to purpose, from control to compassion, from success defined by profit to success defined by people. As the book reminds us, "One day the noise will fade, the titles will disappear, and what will remain is the way you made people feel." 2.5 Billion Heartbeats will challenge you, stir you, and ultimately call you to lead from the heart-starting today, with the life and influence you already have."
