Green J: Everything Is Tuberculosis

Everything Is Tuberculosis

The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Financial Forecasting

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

The New Financial Dystopia

The upstream petroleum sector is a cornerstone of the global energy landscape. As the world transitions toward more sustainable and diversified energy sources, the role of upstream petroleum economics becomes increasingly complex and dynamic. Blending analytical rigor with real-world case studies from various basins, Upstream Dynamics serves as a professional guide to the economics that govern oil and gas exploration and production. It covers the full asset life cycle-exploration, appraisal, development, production, and abandonment-linking engineering realities with financial decision-making. It provides insights into exploration, drilling, production, reservoir management, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.¿ Details project screening, cash flow modeling, fiscal regimes, reserve classification, risk and uncertainty, field development planning, cost estimation, production optimization, and portfolio management ¿ Goes beyond traditional discounted cash flow by integrating Monte Carlo simulation, real-options thinking, and scenario planning, with clear step-by-step illustrations and spreadsheet-ready examples ¿ Addresses the commercial impact of regulation, ESG/sustainability, digitalization/AI, and price volatility, translating these into practical decisions on timing, sequencing, and capital allocation ¿ Features real-world case studies from across the Middle East, the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Southeast Asia ¿ Emphasizes what practitioners can do on Monday morning: build better economic cases, manage risk credibly, and communicate value to executives, partners, and regulatorsWritten by an experienced and practicing senior petroleum economist, this text is aimed at industry professionals and stakeholders, including petroleum economists and engineers, as well as asset managers and analysts, to help them successfully navigate the complexities of the upstream oil and gas sector.

Group Leadership

Selected pieces on nature, history, politics, and urban culture from a master of the nonfiction narrative. Writing on subjects as diverse as the megafires that burned the grasslands of the Great Plains in 2018, the tragic secret life of the manufacturer of maraschino cherries, the world's largest beaver dam, and the invasive Burmese pythons of the Florida Everglades, Ian Frazier captures the multiplicity, the strangeness, and the wonder of contemporary life. This collection of pieces-consisting of features and reportage for The New Yorker and other magazines beginning in 1974, alongside work published as recently as 2024-showcases the wide-ranging play of Frazier's imagination. Astute and engaged, he is the supreme chronicler of the everyday, and a unique social and political anthropologist. More than fifty years of keen observation and avid curiosity come together in The Snakes That Ate Florida: wry, humane, and endlessly surprising, this volume once again confirms Frazier as one of the finest (and most delightful) essayists writing today.

Reporting, Essays, and Criticism

The Snakes That Ate Florida

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
