The Bathysphere Book

Effects of the Luminous Ocean Depths

To understand today's world-its media, its politics, and its culture wars-you must first understand Rupert Murdoch. For seventy years, he cultivated leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair, and, eventually, Donald Trump. Across continents and decades, presidents and prime ministers sought his favor-and feared his wrath. But Murdoch's real achievement is how he built that influence in the first place.&nbsp;At twenty-one years old, he inherited two failing Australian papers after his father's sudden death left the family in debt with rivals circling. Deal by deal, he fought his way from Adelaide to London to America, buying up ailing newspapers that his established competitors were convinced would fail. With each win, he wagered more, until he'd assembled a globe-spanning empire that gave him leverage over politics, culture, and the news itself. He nearly lost it all under a mountain of debt in 1990. He missed the internet, twice. A phone-hacking scandal made him a pariah in the UK. And late in life, he fought his own children over who would inherit what he'd built. Yet Murdoch's influence persisted through every crisis: his career both masterclass and cautionary tale about the power that comes from controlling the story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this sweeping biography reveals the man behind the empire-and the century he helped shape.

Rupert Murdoch and the Deals That Shaped a Century

Empire of Influence

The Case for a Philosophical Life

Open Socrates

What if the less-than-ideal environment you grew up in was actually the most expensive education money can't buy? Many people from humble beginnings spend their entire lives running from their past. Hiding it. Downplaying it. Feeling like it's a stain they can't wash off. That's completely unnecessary. What if the barefoot walks to school, and the nights with no electricity, were quietly building something inside you that no Ivy League degree, no privileged upbringing, and no corporate training program can replicate? The Author walked that path from barefoot to boardrooms in Nairobi, Johannesburg, Harare, Singapore, London, New Orleans, Cleveland, and Charlotte. He didn't just survive the journey. He thrived in rooms where people like him were never supposed to sit. Your past is not a scar to cover up. It is armor that protects you in battles that others cannot win. Kunda pulls back the curtain on a life lived across continents, cultures, and crises. This is not a polished motivational speech. This is raw, honest, and deeply personal. It is the real story of a man who used every hardship as fuel, every setback as a lesson, and every moment of scarcity as specialized training for life ahead. It will change the way you see your own story forever. Inside you will find. The Scar Mark of Endurance - how the physical and emotional hardships of your childhood quietly built mental calluses that make corporate rejection, workplace politics, and high-stakes pressure feel completely manageable. The Grit Dividend - the hidden competitive edge that only people who grew up with nothing truly possess, and exactly how to deploy it in social and professional settings. The Advanced Loss Aversion Advantage - how the memory of having absolutely nothing transforms into a fierce, laser-focused drive to protect and maximize every single career opportunity that comes your way. How to transform silent family sacrifices and humble parental hopes into an unstoppable internal engine that keeps you moving when everyone else quits. Homegrown innovation that translates directly into problem-solving skills that no MBA program teaches. How growing up around real danger develops a gut-level threat detection system that makes you a fearless, intuitive decision-maker in high-stakes social and business environments. How exposure through travel broadens horizons and builds a rare cultural intelligence that makes people valuable in any multicultural team. The Meritocracy Mindset - How to apply ruthless efficiency, zero tolerance for shortcuts, and discipline to build a personal brand that earns respect in competitive markets. The Art of Leaving Well - the often-ignored leadership skill of knowing when to move on, how to hand over with grace, and why how you leave a role is just as powerful as how you led it. Never burn bridges. Resign with Grace, not friction. The Full Circle Principle - how to stop seeing your starting point as the beginning of a disadvantage and start seeing it as the foundation of a world-class life, proving once and for all that grace always follows grit. This book is not just a memoir. It is a practical, actionable guide written for every person who grew up with less, worked twice as hard, and still wonders whether their background is holding them back. It will walk you through the entire journey, from the bundus to the boardroom, with real stories, hard-won insights, and concrete steps you can apply immediately. It will help you get unstuck from the shame of your past and step fully into the power of your story. Your complicated history is not a liability. It is the most valuable professional armor you will ever own. And this book will show you exactly how to wear it. If you want to turn your humble beginnings into your greatest competitive edge and finally stop feeling like your background is something to hide or overcome. Enjoy the Book.

A Memoir Of Unbreakable Resilience & Tenacity

Grace Follows Grit

“An excellent history of the queer world’s countless music scenes.” —Emma Alpern, Vulture “An essential book for this moment.” —Rob Sheffield The definitive history of LGBTQ music, from Stonewall to RuPaul, and its impact on culture and American life From the underground dancefloors of the Seventies to the global charts of the Nineties, LGBTQ artists and audiences shaped music’s sound, style, and spirit. In Mighty Real, veteran journalist Barry Walters chronicles its LGBTQ history from the Velvet Underground to the 21st century’s dawn as he honors the artists who redefined gender, defied tradition, and dared to challenge sexual norms with the help of a record business that wasn’t as straight as commonly believed. Drawing on his decades as a New York- and San Francisco-based music critic, Walters examines how LGBTQ musicians, music industry executives, and fans reshaped the mainstream. He connects the dots between David Bowie’s dazzling reinventions, Grace Jones’s androgynous glamor, Prince’s boundary-shattering sexuality, and the radical candor of the Indigo Girls to prove they’re all doing the same thing: fighting oppression. With exuberance, insight, and encyclopedic knowledge, Walters brings to life the songs and society that filled dancefloors, bedrooms, and streets as he uncovers yesteryear’s coded LGBTQ messages that paved the way for today’s unabashedly queer hits. Mighty Real is a masterful love letter to the music that liberated generations, and it’s written in a page-turning, personal way that blurs distinctions between chronicle and memoir. This is the rare and revolutionary music history told to help you laugh, cry, and then rally against lingering inequality.

A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969-2000

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Absorbing [and] astute . . . Cohen-Solal captures a facet of Picasso's character long overlooked." -Hamilton Cain, The Wall Street Journal "A beguiling read, as ingenious as it is ambitious . . . See Picasso and Paris shimmering with new light." -Mark Braude, author of Kiki Man Ray: Art, Love, and Rivalry in 1920s Paris Born from her probing inquiry into Picasso's odyssey in France, which inspired a museum exhibition of the same name, historian Annie-Cohen Solal's Picasso the Foreigner presents a bold new understanding of the artist's career and his relationship with the country he called home. Winner of the 2021 Prix Femina Essai Before Picasso became Picasso-the iconic artist now celebrated as one of France's leading figures-he was constantly surveilled by the French police. Amid political tensions in the spring of 1901, he was flagged as an anarchist by the security services-the first of many entries in an extensive case file. Though he soon emerged as the leader of the cubist avant-garde, and became increasingly wealthy as his reputation grew worldwide, Picasso's art was largely excluded from public collections in France for the next four decades. The genius who conceived Guernica in 1937 as a visceral statement against fascism was even denied French citizenship three years later, on the eve of the Nazi occupation. In a country where the police and the conservative Académie des Beaux-Arts represented two major pillars of the establishment at the time, Picasso faced a triple stigma-as a foreigner, a political radical, and an avant-garde artist. Picasso the Foreigner approaches the artist's career and art from an entirely new angle, making extensive use of fascinating and long-overlooked archival sources. In this groundbreaking narrative, Picasso emerges as an artist ahead of his time not only aesthetically but politically, one who ignored national modes in favor of contemporary cosmopolitan forms. Annie Cohen-Solal reveals how, in a period encompassing the brutality of World War I, the Nazi occupation, and Cold War rivalries, Picasso strategized and fought to preserve his agency, eventually leaving Paris for good in 1955. He chose the south over the north, the provinces over the capital, and craftspeople over academicians, while simultaneously achieving widespread fame. The artist never became a citizen of France, yet he generously enriched and dynamized the country's culture like few other figures in its history. This book, for the first time, explains how.

An Artist in France, 1900-1973

Picasso the Foreigner

Only a teenager when her beloved father was murdered, shot outside their home by his political opponents, as an adult Fatima Bhutto longed to build a happy family life. When she met a charismatic, alluring man, she thought she had found something special. The man promised to take away her pain; all she had to do was believe in him. This is the story of how Fatima freed herself from the tight coils of the man's manipulative charm and his dangerous, intoxicating hold over her. It's a tale that crosses continents, and travels into myth, literature, astronomy and art. By Fatima's side for the entire journey is Coco: a small, ferociously loyal Jack Russell terrier. In The Hour of the Wolf, Fatima Bhutto weaves wolf ethnography with her own suppressed maternal instinct; care for pregnant Coco with coercive attachments; and the power of found families with an exploration of humanity's connection to nature. The result is a memoir as intellectually compelling as it is intimate and evocative, and that has at its heart the simple truth that love can and should be free of pain.

Bringing together essays from neurodivergent and disabled writers, and writers with chronic illnesses, this collection explores the impact of these experiences and the struggle against such biases within the field of creative writing. Whilst neuro-divergent and disabled writers publish world-class poetry, prose, and drama that moves readers and wins awards, they face many difficulties accessing these achievements - difficulties which often go unnoticed, unmentioned, and underappreciated. Visibility, insight, alternative approaches, and thorough research are all needed to create more inclusive writing environments. This book confronts these issues head on, calling for diversity in the creative writing field, community, and industry, and more equitable spaces in adjacent arenas from academia to publishing. Broken into four sections, this anthology focuses on creative writing programs, classrooms, the community, and its people, combining narrative, research and practical contributions to the field to offer a mix of practical strategies, personal and pedagogical interventions, critiques, and craft meditations that explore teaching, transformation, evolution, embodied craft, visibility, belonging, injustice, otherness, and views from the outside. With essays and excerpts written by authors and educators from across seven countries, who are each impacted by a wide range of disabilities, including ADHD, autism, blindness, dyslexia, dyspraxia, stroke aphasia, cerebral palsy, bipolar, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis, this collection informs, deconstructs and re-imagines to reform and revolutionize normative structures within writing institutions and communities.

The highly anticipated biography of one of the world’s most treasured literary voices, showcasing a life as triumphant and inspiring as the stories she crafted. To know the name Judy Blume is to know and love literature. Her influential novels turned classics—including Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret; Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing; Deenie; and Summer Sisters—touched the lives of tens of millions of readers. For more than fifty-five years her work has done something revolutionary: it rewired the world’s expectations of what literature for young people can be—frank, candid, earthy, and unafraid to show the messier sides of humanity. But little is known about the real woman behind the iconic persona, and the unlikely journey of her literary ascension, until now. In Judy Blume, journalist, historian, and longtime Blume aficionado Mark Oppenheimer pens a beautiful, multidimensional portrait of the acclaimed author through extensive interviews with Blume herself, invaluable access to her papers and correspondence, and thoughtful analysis of Blume’s beloved novels, including early, unpublished works that shed light on the pathbreaking writer she would become. Oppenheimer goes deep, exploring Blume’s middle-class 1950s upbringing, complicated childhood, varied relationships and marriages, unabashed sexual experiences, bouts of heartache and loss, and enduring legacy as a champion of free speech and contemporary literature. Oppenheimer peels back the curtain to reveal the woman behind the literary empire in all her complex, multifaceted glory—a true gift for anyone who grew up reading and loving these extraordinary books.

New York Times Bestseller and #1 Los Angeles Times BestsellerA "gripping, unshakeable firsthand account" (San Francisco Chronicle) of the firestorm that consumed Los Angeles, from the MS NOW reporter and New York Times bestselling author of Separated, who covered the fires on the ground as an LA native."Read[s] like a sci-fi thriller.” —Los Angeles TimesOn the morning of January 7, 2025, a message pinged the phone of Jacob Soboroff, a national reporter for MS NOW. “Big Palisades fire. We are evacuating,” his brother texted within minutes of the blaze engulfing the hillside behind the home where he and his pregnant wife were living. “Really bad.” An attached photo showed a huge black plume rising from behind the house, an umbrella of smoke towering over everything they owned. Jacob rushed to the office of the bureau chief.“I should go. I grew up in the Palisades.”Soon he was on the front line of the blaze—his first live report of what would turn out to be weeks covering unimaginable destruction, from both the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, in Altadena. In the days to come, Soboroff appeared across the networks of NBC News as Los Angeles was ablaze, met with displaced residents and workers, and pressed Governor Gavin Newsom in an interview on Meet the Press. But no story Soboroff has covered at home or abroad—the trauma of family separation at the border, the displacement of the war in Ukraine, the collapse of order in Haiti—could have prepared him for reporting live as the hallmarks of his childhood were engulfed in flames around him while his hometown burned to the ground.But for Soboroff, questions remained after the fires were controlled: what had he just witnessed? How could it have happened? Is it inevitable something like it will happen again? This set Soboroff off on months of reporting—with firefighters, fire victims, political leaders, academics, earth scientists, wildlife biologists, meteorologists and more—that made him keenly aware of how the misfortune of seeing his past carbonize was also a form of time travel into the dystopian world his children will inhabit. This is because the 2025 LA fires were not an isolated tragedy, but rather they are a harbinger—"the fire of the future," in the words of one senior emergency—management official.Firestorm is the story of the costliest wildfire in American history, the people it affected and the deeply personal connection to one journalist covering it. It is a love letter to Los Angeles, a yearning to understand the fires, and why America’s new age of disaster we are living through portends that—without a reckoning of how Los Angeles burned—there is more yet, and worse, to come.
