En la primera biografía crítica de Fethullah Gülen publicada en español, el historiador Jon Pahl nos invita a recorrer un fascinante viaje que revela sabiduría y controversia, desde la Turquía rural de los años 40 hasta los Estados Unidos del siglo XXI. Con una narrativa vibrante y una investigación rigurosa, Pahl cuenta la historia de un joven musulmán devoto de un remoto pueblo turco que, por un lado, ha inspirado a millones de personas en todo el mundo a través de un movimiento global enfocado en la alfabetización, la iniciativa social y el diálogo interreligioso; pero que, por otro lado, ha sido vigilado, calumniado y declarado enemigo número uno por el régimen autoritario de Turquía. Este libro presenta la vida y el pensamiento de Gülen en sus múltiples contextos históricos y culturales, clarifica las posiciones del autor y ofrece a los lectores las herramientas para formar su propio juicio sobre esta figura histórica de relevancia mundial. &nbsp;

A Man Visited by History illuminates what author Steven P. Brown calls the "single Scottsboro case–related subject that has not been adequately explored to this point": the life of Judge James E. Horton, Jr., the white Alabama Eighth Circuit judge who set aside the jury's guilty verdict in the second trial of defendant Haywood Patterson in Decatur. Of the three trial judges and more than one hundred jurors who considered the cases of the Scottsboro defendants, Horton was the only one to find that the evidence against them was virtually nonexistent. Horton was then removed from further involvement with the cases and, despite being on the fast track to political prominence before the 1933 retrial of the Scottsboro defendants, was defeated for reelection for the Eighth Circuit in 1934 and spent the next four decades in relative obscurity.

Judge James E. Horton Jr. and the Scottsboro Case

A Man Visited by History

For more than half a century, James Hamilton has been an active participant and an inside observer of some of the most consequential moments in modern US history. He has been involved in investigations concerning Watergate, the Kennedy assassination, “Debategate,” the Keating Five, the Clinton impeachment, Vince Foster’s suicide, the Valerie Plame affair, Benghazi, and the Major League Baseball steroids scandal. He argued against Brett Kavanaugh in front of the Supreme Court and won. He has tales to tell of power brokers, players, and politicians who helped steer the course of the country. Written in clear, incisive prose with self-deprecating humor, Advocate discusses the travails of prominent politicians and other well-known individuals, focusing particularly on high-profile congressional and other investigations. Credited with developing the modern system for vetting Democratic vice-presidential candidates, Hamilton recounts his extensive vetting of vice-presidential, cabinet, and Supreme Court candidates—including Joe Biden, John Edwards, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This book concludes with practical, sage advice for young lawyers entering the profession. Much more than a memoir from a seasoned lawyer, Advocate is a richly detailed history of some of the most sensational and controversial events in Washington politics over the past fifty years. By sharing information and insights known only to him, Hamilton fills in the gaps of historical events while advising the public on lessons that can be learned from the past. Anyone interested in the uniquely American intermingling of law and politics will find this an engaging read.

Karl Lothar Wolf war ein Getriebener&nbsp;- rastlos in der Forschung, ambitioniert in der Hochschulpolitik, oft konfliktreich im persönlichen Umgang. Als Physikochemiker hinterließ er wichtige Beiträge zur Molekülordnung und Grenzflächenforschung. Gleichzeitig bewegte er sich auf gefährlichem politischem Terrain: Früh bekannte er sich zum Nationalsozialismus und wurde 1933 in Kiel zum jüngsten Rektor Nazideutschlands ernannt. Die politischen Umbrüche nutzte er, um seine Vorstellungen von Forschung und akademischer Macht durchzusetzen, mit folgenreichen Konflikten für Kollegen, Institutionen und für ihn selbst.Der Autor, lange selbst an Wolfs Wirkungsort in Halle tätig, zeichnet das Bild eines Wissenschaftlers, der von Neugier, ideologischer Verblendung und unermüdlichem Geltungsdrang zugleich geprägt war. Die Biografie folgt seinem Weg durch das "Dritte Reich", durch Krieg, Entnazifizierung und Neuanfang bis zur Gründung eines Instituts, das später in die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft einging."Zerrissene Wissenschaft" beleuchtet Leben und Wirken eines unbequemen Forschers und lädt ein zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Chemie des 20.&nbsp;Jahrhunderts im Spannungsfeld von Erkenntnisdrang, Weltanschauung und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung.

Leadership is rarely defined by titles or authority. It is shaped in moments of pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility for others. In The Art of Elevating Others, hospitality executive Thomas Lind reflects on the experiences that shaped his leadership philosophy while guiding teams in some of the world's most demanding hospitality environments--from Bangkok and Caracas to Riyadh, Chicago, Mexico, and India. Drawing on a global career that includes senior leadership roles with Four Seasons and other internationally recognized luxury hotel brands, Lind shares personal stories and observations from the front lines of leadership. These reflections reveal how culture, humility, accountability, and service shape both great organizations and the people who lead them. Rather than offering formulas or management theory, this book presents thoughtful reflections drawn from real-world leadership moments--many of them challenging, unexpected, and deeply human. In this brief but impactful book, readers will discover insights on: - Building trust across cultures and teams - Leading with calm and clarity during uncertainty - Creating environments where people can thrive &gt;The Art of Elevating Others is a reflective and practical look at leadership through the lens of hospitality--an industry where the standard for service, teamwork, and excellence is among the highest in the world.

The Art of Elevating Others

Going behind the scenes with a veteran member of the White House press corpsSteven L Herman, chief national correspondent for the nonpartisan, government-funded Voice of America (VOA), weaves together memoir and history to pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the White House press corps, giving readers a rare glimpse into the historic and current relationship between the president and the press.Herman traces the trajectory of his career as a journalist—from learning to be skeptical of government officials’ statements when he worked as a novice reporter covering nuclear testing in Nevada in the 1970s to understanding the power of on-the-ground social media coverage after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 and facing the challenges of covering the Trump administration. He reflects on the experience of reporting on a president who once called journalists “enemies of the people”—and indeed, former president Trump singled out VOA, accusing the organization of being not a voice of America but rather a voice supporting Moscow’s and Beijing’s interests. Under questionable circumstances, top VOA executives lost their security clearances, and a dossier was prepared on Herman in an effort to remove him as White House bureau chief. With journalistic independence under threat, Herman feared not only for his career but also for “the soul of Voice of America.”Throughout Behind the White House Curtain, Herman convincingly argues that public access to accurate, unbiased information is essential to a healthy and peaceful democracy, and that journalists can and should play a key role in pressing government officials to be truthful and transparent. At a time when misinformation is rampant and the need for unbiased coverage of current events is more urgent than ever, Herman reminds readers that freedom of the press is a foundational American right.

A FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF 2024 'The abiding question posed by Character Limit is this: is Elon Musk secretly 13 years old?' Private Eye '[Conger and Mac are] scoop magnets . . . A dramatic, fly-on-the-wall narrative . . . offers insights into how Musk might approach his job helping to run Trump's Department of Government Efficiency' New York Times 'A deeply reported, revealing and slightly terrifying book that is considerably subtler than its subtitle' Janine Gibson, Financial Times 'You couldn't hope for a better ringside seat on the unfolding drama. . . As a retelling of exactly what happened and what it felt like to be there, it is a triumph' Guardian 'The definitive account of how the world's richest man, in a fit of unbridled vanity and arrogance, took over and destroyed our digital town square' John Carreyrou, bestselling author of Bad Blood 'An absorbing account of Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. It covers the big themes of modern politics - unrestrained billionaires and the lawyers, bankers and other yes-men who enable them; how social media has degraded the public square and melted the brains of its most enthusiastic users; and the eternal quest to find the border between free speech and hate speech.' New Statesmen 'Astonishing. Kate Conger and Ryan Mac's meticulous, comprehensive reporting turns an opaque mess brutally transparent' Jia Tolentino, bestselling author of Trick Mirror 'Gripping... Through fly-on-the-wall reporting, Character Limit takes readers inside Elon Musk's tumultuous Twitter takeover and the disruption of a company, an industry, and the online public square. What a wild ride' Bradley Hope, bestselling author of Billion Dollar Whale In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost? This is the story of the showdown between Elon Musk and Twitter and how the richest man on earth suddenly came to control one of the most powerful media platforms in the world. In Character Limit, award-winning reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac draw on exclusive interviews, unreported documents and internal Twitter recordings to provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up to takeover Twitter, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers. In part, this is the story of Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, who idealistically dreamed of building a 'digital town square' but detested Wall Street and never built a profitable business, and Musk, one of the site's most influential users with over 70 million followers. To Musk, Twitter-once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech-had utterly lost its way. Blaming it for the proliferation of what he called the "woke mind virus", he claimed that the survival of humanity itself depended on the future of the site. In January 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and, soon after, he made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion. Backed into a corner, Twitter's board accepted his offer-only for Musk to change his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him. Drawing on unparalleled sources, this is the defining story of our time told in vivid, cinematic detail.

Unless you happened to operate 50 shops in Russia and Ukraine and a tragedy was about to envelop your family.Before all of Mark's success, two boys growing up in the seaside resort of Weymouth began a 60-year friendship, where one was the hare and the other, the tortoise. That journey reached an epic climax in South Africa in 2012 and it spurred the hare to keep on running even harder than before. Another decade has passed but the tortoise has finally caught up again, and is the author of this expanded second edition of Dear John, which brings the often controversial life of Mark Constantine and the story of LUSH right up to date.
