The Engine That Was Never Supposed to Work : The Untold Story of Rudolf Diesel, the High-Pressure Invention That Changed Engineering, Fueled Empires, and Ended in Mystery

After building a world-famous brand and multiple companies, Jesse James has one goal: helping others find success in what they love. Throughout his career, Jesse James has been known as many things: star of Discover Channel’s Monster Garage, criminal, thrill seeker, husband, father, entrepreneur. With all these titles, Jesse has built his empire on one common theme—hard work. In an era of instant gratification, he knows the value of persistence and how discovering your passions can springboard you to success when you cultivate and pursue them with dedication, creativity, and care. But success isn’t just about creating a successful business, the fame, or the money. It’s about seizing every opportunity to learn and grow. It’s about the person you are behind the scenes. A business book unlike any other, The Art of the Craftsman gives a detailed, candid look at what it took to build his empire from the ground up, the value of hard work, and how he kept pushing once he reached the top. Featuring Jesse’s raw candor, humor, and decades of skill, this no-BS book provides practical advice and useful lessons that anyone can apply to their life or business by: <ul> <li>Understanding the true value of craftsmanship</li> <li>Finding the confidence to forge your own path</li> <li>Taking care of yourself—as well as your business</li> <li>Building long-term relationships with customers</li> <li>Not settling for mediocre work (or expecting instant success)</li> </ul> With his unique perspective and hard-won wisdom, Jesse not only shares memorable stories, but leaves readers with a clear road map toward life’s work that is not only profitable but personally fulfilling—and reminds us all to never settle for anything less than the best.

A globetrotting, laugh-out-loud funny history for grown-ups from the multi-million copy bestselling author. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history. In his new book, Revolting, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings that have happened through the ages, including: <ul><li>Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year.</li><li>Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum.</li><li>The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel).</li></ul> From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages. Praise for A History of Britain in Ten Enemies: 'If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it. It is laugh out loud funny' Conn Iggulden, bestselling author of the Emperor series 'Ram-packed with mind-blowing facts, hilarious characters, and little-known tales' Dan Schreiber, author of The Theory of Everything Else 'A book for anyone who ever wished there was a Horrible Histories for grown-ups' Kate Lister, author of A Curious History of Sex 'Not just an eye-opener, but a mind-opener' Tracy Borman, author of The Private Lives of the Tudors

A landmark exploration of women-led communities worldwide and what they can teach us about new ways to live, think and govern, from BBC global correspondent Megha Mohan. 'An inspiration for the future' GLORIA STEINEM 'Thoroughly researched and intelligently reported' THE TIMES 'The best of journalism' LYSE DOUCET 'Much-needed and compassionate' MARY ROBINSON 'A must-read' MARCUS RYDER Society isn't working for women - or any of us. But what if the rules were different? Imagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their societies and their futures. In reality, women's communities have always existed, and continue to thrive. In this vital and ground-breaking book, Megha Mohan goes in search of their roots, discovering a vibrant global history, brought together here for the first time. She also takes us into today's women-led spaces, where women live on their own terms, showing us how we can rethink society for new ways of living, working and collaborating. Through extensive research and exclusive first-hand reporting and inspired by her great-grandmother's own matrilineal community in South India, Mohan introduces us to fascinating and diverse groups of women. From the controversial feminist online trolls of South Korea to older women co-housing in Paris and North London and the Rain Queens of South Africa, this is a truly global look at women's community. Essential reading for anyone interested in our collective histories, cultures, economics and governance, Herlands shows the power and possibility of new ways of living - and leading - for us all.

Lessons From Societies Where Women Make the Rules

In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey reshapes our understanding of the vital but complex relationship between material prosperity and human flourishing. The advanced capitalist democracies of the 21st century are the richest, freest, healthiest, best educated, and best governed societies in history. Why then does it seem like everything is falling apart? Economic stagnation is spreading, class divisions are deepening, birth rates are collapsing, mental health problems are on the rise, faith in democracy is in decline, and pessimism about the future abounds. In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey argues that these gathering difficulties reflect the stresses and strains of a great and uncompleted historical transition-from mass material prosperity to mass human flourishing. Capitalism's immense productive powers have raised our expectations of what life can be, but for most of us reality is coming up short. What's more, the arrival of mass prosperity has pushed both economic and cultural change in directions that make the transition to mass flourishing much harder to achieve. According to Lindsey, 21st century capitalism is in the grip of three interrelated crises: a crisis of inclusion, as vital social ties and personal connections are breaking down; a crisis of dynamism, as capitalism's engines of innovation and wealth creation have begun to sputter and seize; and a crisis of politics, as the mechanisms for collective decision-making needed to address capitalism's growing problems have been degraded by the very same dynamics that underlie those problems. A much brighter future is possible, and Lindsey charts an intriguing path to get there. There is no need to concoct a radical new social system. Instead, capitalism needs to be refocused on its core mission of extending the technological frontier, and rebalanced through the revitalization of face-to-face communities. Weaving together insights from history, economics, sociology, and philosophy, The Permanent Problem offers a synoptic overview of our fateful present moment and a provocative glimpse at what may lie ahead.

The Uncertain Transition from Mass Plenty to Mass Flourishing

The Permanent Problem

Enslavement was central to the early modern Iberian empires. No one at the time seriously questioned its legality, yet widespread reports of violent practices of captivity and human trafficking contrasted sharply with the Christian ideal of charity. This volume explores how Spanish and Portuguese theologians, jurists, and missionaries grappled with this moral dilemma. These thinkers developed ideological tools to protect the souls of those who appeared to be in a state of mortal damnation. Slavery prompted Iberian intellectuals to rethink the boundaries between property and person, law and religion, and household and commonwealth. By reconstructing these debates, this volume offers a new narrative about the relationship between individual rights and political power in the early modern Iberian world.

Empires of Slavery: Rights and Power in the Early Modern Iberian World

We have always looked up at the sky and wondered.The desire to explore and understand what lies beyond us is at the heart of scientific discovery. Ever since the ancient Babylonians tracked celestial objects on clay tablets, the search for meaning in an infinitely vast universe has been a profoundly human pursuit.In this spellbinding book, Dr Sarah Alam Malik takes us on a journey through the discoveries that shaped our perception of the cosmos. From the Earth-centred worldview of Aristotle and the Copernican revolution to Isaac Newton unifying the terrestrial and celestial under the law of gravity. Each breakthrough is a testament to humanity's determination to peek behind the curtain of our world to examine what's underneath.Our ability to imagine and seek out a much grander and more mysterious reality drives us towards an incredible future. From the fiery deaths of faraway suns to the complexities of the subatomic, this is the story of what we've found and how they continue to change us.A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)&nbsp;is a fascinating story of discovery and a beautiful celebration of our endless curiosity.

'An intriguing exploration of withdrawal and solitude'&nbsp;Daily Telegraph&nbsp;'Stagg writes masterfully' The TimesWhat do we gain and what do we lose when we step back from the world?&nbsp;Guy Stagg follows in the footsteps of three extraordinary twentieth-century figures who withdrew during moments of crisis: Ludwig Wittgenstein, David Jones and Simone Weil.&nbsp;Blending history, travel, biography and a moving personal story, The World Within examines how retreat can save a life or transform a creative practice. It asks why the idea of retreat still enchants people to this day and hints at how each one of us can find a sanctuary of our own. 'Stagg writes well and brightly about all he encounters'&nbsp;Observer'A readable book that looks at how three people tried to live at the extreme edge of the human spirit'&nbsp;Literary Review'Remarkable . . . Stagg, too, is on a journey, which is what makes his books so attractive and accessible'&nbsp;The Tablet'In an age riddled with noise and distraction,&nbsp;The World Within&nbsp;feels timely. It reminds us that silence and solitude are vital for self-discovery' Press Association

A vivid history of how Protestantism was spread across the globe, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century &nbsp; "Mr. Ryrie has produced the rare book that deserves attention from both believers and skeptics."-D.G. Hart, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Protestantism revolutionised early modern Europe. Radical theologians transformed the lives of thousands across the continent, irrevocably changing politics and society. But what about beyond Europe's borders? Was global Christianity just a Catholic endeavour? &nbsp; Alec Ryrie explores the untold history of how Protestants tried to spread their religion abroad, from Lapland to Chile and Barbados to Taiwan. At the story's heart are the non-Christian people whom Protestants met more often than any others during this period: those they had enslaved in the Americas, Africa, and eastern Asia. We see how Protestants dealt with, or evaded, the moral failure of the slave trade, and how their missionary efforts were disappointments at best, utter fiascos at worst. &nbsp; Their world Reformation, its failures, and its consequences for both good and ill, has largely been forgotten. This fascinating history makes the case for why it is worth remembering.
