True D: Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

A deep, intimate, and revelatory portrait of RBG from her two authorized biographers who had unprecedented access to the Justice and her papers. Long before she was “The Notorious RBG,” before she was Justice Ginsburg or Judge Ginsburg or Professor Ginsburg, before she was even Ruth, she was Kiki —a nickname bestowed on the squirmy newborn by her big sister. Kiki grew up to be a feminist icon. After she died, she was criticized for not giving a Democratic President the chance to name her successor. What happened in between often gets lost – until now. In Undaunted Justice, Hartnett and Williams offer a full picture of the woman and the jurist, and why those two parts of her were so deeply intertwined. The book contains new revelations about Ginsburg’s life and legacy, her behind the scenes role in several landmark cases, and her relationships with her colleagues on the Court. She was exacting and demanding. Imbued with an innate sense of fairness and a deep personal gift for making alliances when possible. A compartmentalizer at heart with a strong desire to “not look back,” which made possible her legendary productivity but could sometimes hinder her capacity for critical self-reflection. Reserved and socially awkward to some who didn’t know her well, but fiercely loyal and empathetic to clients, colleagues, friends and family. A surprising adventure seeker, even white-water rafting and parasailing, and horseback-riding into her eighties. But ultimately, this biography – more than 20 years in the making and based on exclusive interviews with the Justice, her family, colleagues and friends from all stages of her life, her private papers and even her honeymoon diary -- shows what it took for a woman of her generation not only to conquer the sexist world of the law, but to leave an indelible mark that would better the lives of women–and men–after her.

The Full Life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Justice Undaunted

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. OVERVIEW Anthony Giannotti looked successful from the outside, but inside he was quietly falling apart. A nationally recognized barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple thriving businesses, Giannotti had built the life he'd always wanted. But behind the packed barbershops, sold-out classes, and endless travel lived something darker: anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, crushing self-doubt, and the "black cloud" that followed him everywhere he went. Then came the morning he woke in a hotel room to the news that Anthony Bourdain had died by suicide. That moment became the razor's edge between the life he was living—and the one he still had a chance to save. No Guard is an unflinching memoir about chasing success while losing yourself, growing up in a strict religious household, finding purpose through barbering and punk rock, surviving divorce, addiction, and depression, and discovering that healing isn't found in fame, money, or another drink—it's found in finally facing the parts of yourself you've spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply compassionate, No Guard offers an unforgettable portrait of masculinity, vulnerability, and second chances. For anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, questioned their worth, or wondered whether it's ever too late to start over, Anthony Giannotti proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down.

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life Simultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham. Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood. As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does. 'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

A Memoir in Full Colour

Leaving Home

An Instant New York Times bestseller One of most influential thinkers today, 'the woman who revolutionized feminism' (Guardian), offers a deeply engaging story of justice and power in America When Kimberlé Crenshaw was five years old in Ohio during the civil rights era, she was the only girl denied a lead role in her nursery play. Puzzled by her teacher's behaviour, she spoke up - and never stopped. That instinct to question power, to challenge what others accepted as fair, would shape not only her own life but the way we now understand race and gender. In Backtalker, Crenshaw traces her journey from a spirited girl in Canton, Ohio to one of the most influential legal thinkers today. Through childhood lessons and painful reckonings - a boyfriend's violence in college, a back door at Harvard Law, the silencing of women in the civil rights movement - Crenshaw learned to see the patterns others missed, refusing to stay behind the lines the world drew for her. Out of those experiences came two ideas that changed everything: intersectionality, the recognition that race, gender, and class overlap to create unique forms of discrimination; and critical race theory, the argument that racism is structural. Crenshaw's voice has since echoed through some of the most charged moments in recent history - from Anita Hill's testimony to the rise of Black Lives Matter - insisting that true justice means seeing the whole picture. Backtalker is both a memoir of awakening and the origin story of a transformative mind. Crenshaw's story is ultimately about fairness and power - and the enduring battle for America's soul.

A Memoir

Backtalker

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives. Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world-SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork.The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as "the crazy guy who bet on the future" and whose mission is "happiness for everyone." Sama takes the reader on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son's sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera-all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life.This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble

The Money Trap

'Their anatomy - and more so, their spirit - hears many things, but at its centre it listens for you. It almost makes up for everything. The deaths, the attacks, the cover-ups. Only a fool would do it again . . .' This is the story of three troublesome rescue dogs - and how even the most incorrigible of animals can become family. Poignant, funny and disarmingly honest, Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a dog lover's memoir from one of the world's most beloved storytellers: bestselling author of The Book Thief, Marcus Zusak. What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs - Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm? The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour. Through shortcomings and failure, willpower and an explosion of love, Reuben, Archer and Frosty become family. Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and adventure straight to our doors, and into our lives. 'Funny and charming . . . A stirring tale of the bond that can form between human and hound' - The Times

Three Wild Dogs (and the truth)

'Extraordinary' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation' TELEGRAPH 'The book of a lifetime' ELIF SHAFAK 'The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him' MICHAEL PALIN 'Heart-catching . . . fabulous' OBSERVER 'A beautiful book' ALAIN DE BOTTON The epic adventure story of the North Pole - its transcendent beauty and dangerous appeal - from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990 Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary - the first polar explorer global celebrities - who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the 'silver-shining vacantness' of the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge's own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who's gazed out at the horizon - and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted' RANULPH FIENNES

The History of an Obsession

The North Pole

People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere. At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.
