Bourhis R: Insult to Injury

Insult to Injury

Today, Swiss Life is a leading provider of pension and financial solutions and among the largest real estate owners in Switzerland and Europe. The Zurich-based company, established in 1857 as a cooperative under the name Schweizerische Lebensversicherungs- und Rentenanstalt, in 1997 underwent a profound transformation to adapt to changing realities: it became a limited company by shares and went public. At the time, the Swiss economy was booming, only to fall into crisis a few years later following the burst of the dot-com bubble.Swiss Life's evolution since 1997 has been closely linked to that of the Swiss economy as a whole-leading through crisis at the brink of collapse and years of rescue and realignment to what the company is today: a leading provider of pension and financial solutions and one of the largest real estate owners in Switzerland and Europe.
 This multifaceted story is told in detail for the first time in the French-language book 
 Swiss Life 1997-2025.
 Informative texts on the company's evolution and environment are supplemented with brief portraits of 20 employees, who share their stories in profiles. Rolf Dörig-Swiss Life's CEO for many years and current chairman of its board of directors-outlines his perspective in a detailed interview. An appendix featuring key figures on business performance since 1997, along with a timeline of group executive committee and board of directors members, makes the volume an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the Swiss financial sector.

A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An extraordinary exposé of the industry flooding our world with plastic—and now ramping up to make more than ever “A compelling true-crime story.”&nbsp;—Zoë Schlanger, The New York Times Book Review “Deeply researched, sharply written, and totally compelling.” —Elizabeth Kolbert, author of the The Sixth Extinction “It is impossible not to compare Beth Gardiner’s Plastic Inc. to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.” —John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather Plastic, the foundational material of modern consumerism, is everywhere in our daily lives. But the oil and petrochemical companies making it are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Today, industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, the amount it churns out, even as individuals concerned about plastic’s out-of-control proliferation try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry’s relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Every chapter in Plastic Inc. brings new revelations, including how Big Oil pushed the lie that recycling was the answer to our plastic mess, even though companies always knew it couldn't work at scale; the hidden health crisis caused by chemicals and microplastics in the items we use every day; and the alarming parallels between the marketing strategies used by plastic producers and those of tobacco companies and Big Pharma.&nbsp; Plastic Inc.’s gripping stories will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots, and greater dangers, than we know.

The definitive history of Russia’s most secret spy program, from the earliest days of the Soviet Union to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and a revelatory examination of how that hidden history shaped both Russia and the West. “Shaun Walker relates these real-life spy stories with breathtaking aplomb.” —Wall Street Journal More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as &nbsp;“illegals.” During the Second World War, illegals were dispatched behind enemy lines to assassinate high-ranking Nazis. Later, in the Cold War, they were sent to assimilate and lie low as sleepers in the West. The greatest among them performed remarkable feats, while many others failed in their missions or cracked under the strain of living a double life. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, as well as archival research in more than a dozen countries, Shaun Walker brings this history to life in a page-turning tour de force that takes us into the heart of the KGB’s most secretive program. A riveting spy drama peopled with richly drawn characters, The Illegals also uncovers a hidden thread in the story of Russia itself. As Putin extols Soviet achievements and the KGB’s espionage prowess, and Moscow continues to infiltrate illegals across the globe, this timely narrative shines new light on the long arc of the Soviet experiment, its messy aftermath, and its influence on our world at large.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who dared to take on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell “Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.” —The Guardian The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now. In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity. Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever. Nobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.

A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice

Nobody's Girl

An der Schwelle zum 21. Jahrhundert vollzog die 1857 gegründete Schweizerische Lebensversicherungs- und Rentenanstalt einen tiefgreifenden Wandel, um den veränderten Realitäten gerecht zu werden: Die bis dahin genossenschaftlich geprägte Vorsorgeinstitution wurde in eine Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt und wagte 1997 den Schritt an die Börse. Damals boomte die Schweizer Wirtschaft, um nur wenige Jahre später nach dem Platzen der Dotcom-Blase in eine Krise zu geraten.Die Entwicklung der Swiss Life seit 1997 ist eng verknüpft mit jener der Schweizer Wirtschaft insgesamt - und führt über eine existenzbedrohliche Krise, Jahre der Rettung und Neuausrichtung zu dem, was das Unternehmen heute ist: ein führender Anbieter von Vorsorge- und Finanzlösungen in Europa. Und einer der grössten Immobilienbesitzer der Schweiz und Europas.
 Diese vielschichtige Geschichte wird in 
 Swiss Life 1997-2025
 erstmals ausführlich erzählt. Neben informativen Texten zu Evolution und Umfeld des Unternehmens werden auch Menschen vorgestellt, die ein solches immer ausmachen: Zwanzig Mitarbeitende kommen in Porträts zu Wort, und Rolf Dörig - langjähriger CEO und heutiger Verwaltungsratspräsident - schildert in einem ausführlichen Interview seine Sicht. Ein Anhang mit Kennzahlen zum Geschäftsverlauf seit 1997 sowie einer Übersicht der Mitglieder von Konzernleitung und Verwaltungsrat entlang einer Zeitachse machen das Buch zu einem unverzichtbaren Nachschlagewerk für alle an der Schweizer Finanzwirtschaft Interessierten.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “thrilling and superbly crafted” (The Wall Street Journal) account of the most momentous voyage of the Age of Exploration, which culminated in Captain James Cook’s death in Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this day. One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES, TIME, THE ECONOMIST, NPR, THE NEW YORKER, THE SMITHSONIAN, AND KIRKUS REVIEWS “In this masterly history, Sides tracks the 18th-century English naval officer James Cook’s third and final voyage across the globe, painting a vivid and propulsive portrait."—The New York Times Book Review On July 12th, 1776, Captain James Cook, already lionized as the greatest explorer in British history, set off on his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution. Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton Sides’ bravura account of Cook’s last journey both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his crew well and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with his secret orders, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain’s imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook’s intentions, his scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The tensions between Cook’s overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter. At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers.
