THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A well-paced, thorough and often (darkly) humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again . . . Thrilling.' New York Times The most definitive, deeply researched and authoritative account of the most tumultuous election in US history. In 2024, Donald Trump made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the world. How did the first US president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost? Here, three award-winning reporters bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats. It is a damning and revelatory inside account of an election that tested American democracy - and which has already transformed the future of the free world. 'The most well-sourced and judiciously written reporting from the campaign that you will find . . . 2024 is the best book of its kind I have read.' Philip Collins, Observer 'Charts the delusions of the main players and the disastrous debate that reset the campaign . . . 2024 is a book for these times: aptly named deeply sourced.' Lloyd Green, Guardian 'By speaking to insiders on all sides of the debate, it lifts the lid on the near misses, fatal errors and lucky saves that led to the situation today.' Katy Balls, The Times

How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America

2024

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Former U.S. Attorney and author of Attack from Within Barbara McQuade offers a piercing, urgent, and deeply informed exposé on the escalating threat of far-right politics to American democracy and national security—and a clear roadmap for how to stop it. In The Fix, Barbara McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federal prosecutor to show us the detrimental effects of a government that uses corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools of control. As a US Attorney, McQuade became all too familiar with corruption cases, prosecuting former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, the “underwear bomber” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and Volkswagen, among others. Here, she exposes how rampant corruption and cruelty are being weaponized to manipulate every facet of American life. Weaving together courtroom stories, lessons from history, and real-time legal analysis, McQuade shows how each corrupt offense, each act of cruelty, is a step toward total authoritarianism. Yet The Fix is not just a critique of power gone awry. McQuade offers clear strategies that ordinary Americans can utilize, from organizing teach-ins and protests to running for local office, to reclaim the rule of law and ensure that elected officials serve the public's interest, not their own. Eye-opening and grounded in the author's abiding faith in the US Constitution to help restore power to the people, The Fix is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of America and ready to work together to take it back.

Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government

The Fix

You've heard of IQ and EQ. But in today's world, they're no longer enough. We need the Agility Quotient (AQ). In a time defined by nonstop disruptions, when jobs vanish overnight, industries evolve in months, and yesterday's rules no longer apply, AQ-the Agility Quotient-is the intelligence you need to handle change, uncertainty, and the unknown. The good news is that, with the right toolkit, you can grow your agility and learn to navigate a world of increasing instability. Drawing on leadership coach and former venture capitalist Liz Tran's work with over 200 successful founders, executives, and dozens of companies and organizations, AQ reveals a model for how high-performing teams and managers adapt to uncertainty. Tran will show you how to cultivate 'durable skills,' essential human abilities that remain valuable no matter what the future holds. With the book's Agility Archetype assessment, the book personalises the AQ journey to every kind of individual. No matter their experience level or ambitions. Written with conversational flair and practical advice, AQ offers readers a wealth of resources, including:<ul><li>Tools to rebuild confidence for when you're bombarded by life's curveballs or feeling burned out Actionable steps for making a big shift, even when you feel stuck.</li></ul><ul><li>Advice on finding clarity in moments of professional turbulence.</li></ul> AQ also takes readers behind the scenes at companies, from NVIDIA and Microsoft to rising start-ups like Lex, to see AQ in action. You'll also meet trailblazers like Maggie Lena Walker, the first female bank president in American history, and Emile-Maurice Hermès, who transformed Hermès into a global luxury powerhouse. As the adage goes, 'the only certain thing is change.' AQ is the critical intelligence for our unpredictable future.

Everyday Etiquette to Avoid Awkward Moments in Relationships, Work, and Life

Was It Something I Said?

“Yellowstone meets Matlock” (Tom Clavin) in this dazzling tale of land lust and the American West, chronicling the rise and fall of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana, learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and its most precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who’d come west to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at five-hundred-foot wind turbines. So began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe’s rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett’s wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans, even as the most coveted rangeland in the West was threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: record drought, raging wildfires, dwindling snowpack. “An epic tale of greed and resilience,” The Crazies “has the power to leave you feeling walloped, whip-sawed, and wildly invigorated, all within the same breath” (Kevin Fedarko, New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Park). It’s an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful western for a warming planet—and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.

The Cattleman, the Wind Prospector, and a War Out West

The Crazies

Anlässlich des 70. Geburtstags von Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Karl-Peter Sommermann würdigt diese Festschrift seine umfassende wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Seit Beginn seiner akademischen Laufbahn forscht der Geehrte zu grundlegenden Fragen der Rechtsvergleichung, des ausländischen öffentlichen Rechts, der Transnationalisierung sowie zu den Grundprinzipien und Werten des nationalen Verfassungs- und Verwaltungsrechts. Sein Werk ist geprägt von Außenperspektiven auf das nationale Recht, einem tiefen Verständnis der Prozesse der Internationalisierung und Europäisierung sowie der Entwicklung des nationalen öffentlichen Rechts im transnationalen Kontext. An diese Aspekte knüpft der vorliegende Band an. Angesichts erneuter Nationalisierung, hegemonialer Ansprüche, neuer Kriege in Europa und multipler Krisen – wie etwa der Klima- oder der Rechtsstaatlichkeitskrise – stellt sich die Frage, ob und wie die transnationale Perspektive auf das öffentliche Recht fortbestehen kann. Welche grundlegenden und welche neuen Konzepte prägen heute den öffentlich-rechtlichen, transnationalen Diskurs? Diesen und weiteren Fragen gehen 37 kurze Einzelbeiträge in diesem Band nach.&nbsp;
Der Fokus liegt auf den folgenden vier Themenfeldern: Rechtsvergleichung, ausländisches öffentliches Recht, Europäisierung und Internationalisierung des Verwaltungs- und Verwaltungsprozessrechts sowie Grundwerte und Grundprinzipien des deutschen und europäischen Verfassungsrechts. Die einzelnen Beiträge sind in deutscher, englischer, französischer und spanischer Sprache verfasst und repräsentieren das mehrsprachige Werk des Geehrten. 
Im Zentrum stehen aktuelle Fragestellungen der Rechtsvergleichung, der Transnationalisierung sowie der Grundprinzipien des öffentlichen Rechts. Dabei werden nicht nur Antworten auf aktuelle Trends wie Nationalisierung und Populismus gesucht, sondern auch tragende Werte wie Rechtsstaatlichkeit und europäische Demokratie kritisch reflektiert. Der Band ist daher ein unentbehrlicher Begleiter für alle, die sich für Grundfragen des öffentlichen Rechts, des Europa- und Völkerrechts interessieren.

Festschrift für Karl-Peter Sommermann anlässlich seines 70. Geburtstags

Öffentliches Recht in transnationaler Perspektive

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! What do conservatives actually believe? In this powerful and inspiring manifesto,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author and former Vice President Mike Pence pens a 21st-century version of&nbsp;The Conscience of a Conservative.&nbsp;With candid insights after decades as a happy warrior in the movement, Pence convincingly explains why the Republican Party must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Conservatives know that wisdom often begins by consulting the people who came before us. As Barry Goldwater wrote, conservative principles persist because they are rooted in the truth. But this isn't just a book about the past. It's about how time-tested conservative principles can be applied to the problems of tomorrow. Pence explains why conservatives believe our rights come from God and then articulates conservative positions on the right to life, limited government, law and order, economic freedom, the national debt, federalism, patriotic education, the traditional family, peace through strength, and standing with Israel, among many other issues-as well as the virtues of character, civility, and statesmanship in our politics. Few politicians have the strength of character of former Congressman, Governor, and Vice President Pence. Pence&nbsp;is the standard bearer for true conservative values at a time when many readers and voters no longer understand what it means to be a conservative, or why conservative values are so important.&nbsp; &nbsp; In&nbsp;What Conservatives Believe, Pence&nbsp;writes about the importance of conservatism with authority, respect, and candor. As he's fond of saying, "I'm a conservative&nbsp;but I'm not in a bad mood about it." A true statesman and leader, Pence defines conservatism for a new generation in what promises to become a timeless conservative classic.

Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience

What Conservatives Believe

** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** California Governor Gavin Newsom's intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics 'Go slow,' his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California - not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety. Elected as governor and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here, he reflects on the long journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America. ** Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by the New York Times**

How AI can positively impact so many aspects of our daily lives, from health and wellness to work, education, and home life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks.

Trust in the media has hit a record low. Reasons offered for this breakdown are varied, and include the rise of social media, rhetorical attacks from hostile politicians, misinformation, and bad actors online. While these factors may indeed be contributing, such explanations lack self-reflection on media leaders' part - and are, in fact, out of step with the public's actual feedback. Journalist Tara Henley argues that the media's alarmed reaction to the first election of Donald Trump - throwing out journalistic standards and practices, including objectivity - kicked off a trust spiral that continues to this day. The economic precarity of the industry set the stage, with the media in a profoundly weakened state when Trump came along - most critically, failing to properly train the next generation in the rigors of journalism or provide them with a clear path to personal success and financial stability. To restore trust in the media, Henley contends, we must admit mistakes in coverage, publicly reaffirm the value of objectivity, and get back to the basics of objective journalistic practices. Fundamentally, we need to reorient the industry around public service. This will include discarding condescending views about the public, particularly the working class. The time has come to depoliticize our newsrooms - and Henley, through extensive research and reporting, offers practical strategies that can make this achievable.

Why the Media Needs Objectivity

The Trust Spiral

A decisive reassessment of Thomas Jefferson's long-debated views on slavery, showing that his chief antislavery strategy was racial exclusion: the removal of emancipated Black people from the United States. Toward the end of his life, Thomas Jefferson made his most famous statement about American slavery: "We have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go." Presenting abolition as both necessary and perilous, the remark has long been relied upon to explain an apparent paradox: despite publicly opposing slavery for four decades, Jefferson had made no progress toward Black freedom in his political career by the time he died in 1826. Nor had he done so in his expansive household, where he enslaved more than 600 people, including Sally Hemings and the four children he fathered with her. Christa Dierksheide and Nicholas Guyatt argue that the key to understanding Jefferson's antislavery position is his commitment to racial exclusion. Jefferson believed that the principal reason to abolish slavery was the threat of a massive slave revolt, but he viewed the presence of free Black people in the new nation as no less dangerous. To avert racial violence, Jefferson argued, the gradual abolition of slavery had to be paired with Black exile. Even when challenged by white and Black contemporaries with more expansive views of American belonging, Jefferson held fast to his vision for a white republic. Neither an egalitarian antiracist nor a proslavery apologist, Jefferson became the most influential advocate for racial separation in the early United States. Charting the evolution of his thought across the nation's formative decades, Jefferson's Wolf is a surprising and provocative account of the problem of slavery in the founding era.
