An astonishing account of the human capacity for survival amid a great city's descent into utter annihilation.

Buruma I: Stay Alive

Stay Alive

Berlin, 1939–1945

A revelatory account of the racist conspiracy theory that now pervades global politics - from the prize-winning author of the million-copy bestseller How To Be an Antiracist 'An essential framework for parsing current events . . . meticulously researched . . . worthwhile and accessible . . . also offers a modicum of hope' Arwa Mahdawi, Guardian Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age. But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today. PRAISE FOR IBRAM X. KENDI: 'The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind' The New York Times on How To Be an Antiracist 'One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race' Guardian 'A kind, dignified, preternaturally wise teacher' GQ 'One of today's most visible and sought-after public intellectuals' Wall Street Journal 'One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history' Afua Hirsch '[Kendi] is not a historian fearful of upsetting orthodoxies or questioning fixed reputations' David Olusoga

Great Replacement Theory and the Origins of Our Authoritarian Age

Chain of Ideas

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art. Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

How I Invented the World’s Most Popular Shoe, Became a Massive Success, and Nearly Destroyed Myself in 15 Easy Lessons

Driving Productivity reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries, offering a fresh perspective on their development. 
 
From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. The book makes a strong case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but that is nevertheless responded to differently between countries.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

'Courageous, moving, bold and beautifully, brilliantly written' - Daisy Buchanan, bestselling author of Insatiable I am 13 years old and these are my secrets. 1. I have a crush on Jet from ITV gameshow Gladiators. So strong! So pretty! 2. I still play with Barbie dolls. It's mostly making them scissor. Or snog. Or lie on top of each other with feeling. 3. I just kissed my best friend. Spoiler alert: she's a girl. From the suburbs of Leeds to the streets of Sydney, from the queer clubs of London to a quiet life by the sea, through love, family, friendship and heartache, join Roxy Bourdillon on a journey to work out exactly who she is. A relatable and moving coming-of-age memoir, What a Girl Wants is the perfect read for anyone who's searched for their place in the world, for anyone who's ever been catcalled, anyone who's despaired about their body, fallen in love, had their heart broken and found friends who can put it back together. From overcoming shame and finding your tribe, to surviving the dating scene and learning to really express yourself, this is a book about joy, empowerment and freedom. Warm, witty and nostalgia-drenched, it's a laugh-out-loud treat of a read for fans of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love and Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman - but with a glorious queer twist. 'Unabashed, bold, even confronting at times . . . exhilarating' - Laura Kay, author of Wild Things 'A joy to read' - Rosie Jones, comedian

Die packende Geschichte des US-Journalisten, dessen Freilassung aus russischer Haft weltweit Schlagzeilen machte - das große Buchereignis 2026 2023 wird Evan Gershkovich, Reporter des Wall Street Journal, in Russland wegen angeblicher Spionage festgenommen und später zu sechzehn Jahren Haft verurteilt. International löst sein Fall Entsetzen aus - erstmals seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wurde ein amerikanischer Journalist wegen Spionage verurteilt. Gershkovich war zur Schachfigur in einem geopolitischen Machtspiel geworden. Seine Freilassung gelang erst durch einen spektakulären Gefangenenaustausch, in dem auch der "Tiergarten Mörder" Vadim Krassikow eine Rolle spielte.Zum ersten Mal erzählt Gershkovich nun selbst, wie die Festnahme ablief, über die endlosen Verhöre und den Prozess, bei dem hinter verschlossenen Türen über sein Leben entschieden wurde. Trotz Isolation, Überwachung und Willkür gelingt ihm etwas Außergewöhnliches: Er berichtet weiter - mit wachem Blick, Mut und überraschendem Humor. Er zeichnet ein eindringliches Bild des russischen Gefängnissystems mit seinen Ritualen, seiner Härte und seinen unerwarteten Momenten von Menschlichkeit. Zugleich blickt er zurück auf seine eigenen Wurzeln - seine Eltern flohen in den 1970er Jahren aus der Sowjetunion -, auf seine Anfänge bei der Moscow Times und auf Freundschaften zu russischen Kollegen, die unter immer größerem Druck ihre Unabhängigkeit verteidigen mussten. Spätestens mit dem Angriff auf die Ukraine wird klar: Auch westliche Reporter sind nicht mehr sicher.'Dieses verfluchte wunderschöne Land' ist mehr als ein Gefängnisbericht. Es ist ein bewegendes Zeugnis über Mut, Wahrheit und die Widersprüche eines Landes zwischen Autokratie, Geschichte - und seiner unbestreitbaren, oft schmerzhaften Schönheit. <ul><li>Das internationale Buchereignis im Herbst 2026: die Geschichte des amerikanischen Journalisten, dessen russische Haft und spektakuläre Freilassung die Welt bewegt hat</li><li>Ein dramatischer Augenzeugenbericht über die Realität des russischen Gefängnisalltags </li><li>Der Wall-Street-Journal-Reporter liefert einzigartige Hintergründe über die Putin-Herrschaft und die Lage der Opposition in Russland</li><li>Gleichzeitiges weltweites Erscheinen in acht Ländern</li><li>Für Leser*innen von Alexej Nawalny, Catherine Belton und Anne Applebaum</li><li>Verfilmung geplant durch Oscar-Regisseur Edward Berger ("Konklave", "Im Westen nichts Neues")</li></ul>

491 Tage in russischer Haft: Meine Geschichte

Dieses verfluchte wunderschöne Land

"Am 7. Juni verabschiedete sich der Zimmermann Amadeus Zündbrodt von seiner Freundin, wie morgens üblich, mit einem Kuss auf ihre Stirn, die sich wächsern anfühlte, während sie ihren restlichen Körper unter der Bettdecke verbarg, und erst als Amadeus nach sieben Tagen noch immer nicht heimgekehrt war, stand Isabelle auf, schmierte sich eine Wurst-, eine Käse- und eine Marmeladenstulle, um sich die Kraft anzufuttern, die sie brauchte, um das nächste Polizeirevier aufzusuchen." So beginnt die Geschichte, die in die Berliner Unterwelt führt, wo Robinson II. - der Ratten-Regent - das Sagen hat. Und Amadeus ist seine Kreatur, sie hat "einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Übermenschwerdung der Ratte" ... So strömt denn der Erzählfluss mit fantastischen Assoziationen und kruden Albernheiten dahin, die Chiffren sind ausgelegt wie Rattenfallen. Eine wunderbar-eklige politische Parabel, inspiriert von der Gegenwart wie auch von Heinrich Heines "Die Wanderratten": "O wehe! wir sind verloren, / Sie sind schon vor den Toren! / Der Bürgermeister und Senat, / Sie schütteln die Köpfe und keiner weiß Rat. / Die Bürgerschaft greift zu den Waffen, / Die Glocken läuten die Pfaffen. / Gefährdet ist das Palladium / Des sittlichen Staats, das Eigentum."

Die fantastische Reise des Amadeus Z

While very few people start enormous companies or discover lifesaving medical cures, we all make mistakes. Yet there are lots of books about successful entrepreneurs, massive failures, and compelling scientific discoveries, and no book that helps us understand how our personalities drive mistakes and how mistakes shape our lives. Longtime friends Michael Lynton and Joshua L. Steiner made mistakes that shaped their careers and lives, but it wasn't until the isolation of the pandemic that they began to open up to each other about them. When Lynton was the CEO of Sony Entertainment, he greenlit the film that led to the infamous North Korean hack; meanwhile, a private diary Steiner had kept as Chief of Staff at the Treasury Department became a focal point in the Clinton Whitewater scandal. As their conversation deepened, they searched for a book to guide their exploration, they came up empty. So they set out to write one themselves. Through a revealing examination of their own stories and candid interviews with influential figures such as Larry Summers, Joanna Coles, and Malcolm Gladwell along with people from all walks of life, the authors unveil the hidden dimensions of mistakes and the universal struggle to move beyond them. Working with Alison Papadakis, Director of Clinical Psychological Studies at Johns Hopkins, they ground their observations in relevant research and unpack the difference between failures and mistakes, the stages of mistakes, and how it's possible to break the patterns that lead to misunderstandings and shame. From Mistakes to Meaning is an essential and fascinating read, combining compelling narrative and actionable advice, showing that mistakes can be used as portals for personal growth instead of lifelong burdens.

In this innovative reinterpretation of African and European economic history, Warren Whatley contrasts how Western European freedom from slavery unleashed freedom dividends across Western Europe whilst African-American slave trades instead produced slavery and underdevelopment in Africa.
