True D: Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

Both an epic history and an intimate family story, a startling account of the lives of Black cops in one Midwestern city. Amid the fervent protests over police killings in 2020, the reporter Wilbert L. Cooper returned to his hometown of Cleveland to profile the president of a Black police organization called the Black Shield. The group had aligned itself with activists calling for reform, but its president was notorious for having shot a young unarmed Black man years earlier. As Cooper explored the question of whether Black cops can create the kind of radical changes in policing that Black people are calling for, he was also welcomed by the members of the group in a different, more complicated capacity: as Sergeant Will Cooper's son. For Cooper, this assignment was personal. His parents are retired Black Cleveland cops; his sister was a Cleveland cop; on his mother's side, there has been a Cleveland cop in the family since 1950. In unearthing the dramatic histories of the Black Shield and his own family, Cooper tells the intertwined stories of the two: his relatives, whose lineage traces back to the Great Migration and who chose policing because it was one of the few stepping stones to economic security and status in a segregated city; and an organization that, over decades of cultural and political upheaval, has cycled endlessly between rebellion and acquiescence. An intimate, bold work of literary nonfiction, The Black Shield is an urgent exploration of the complex duality of the Black cop. Cooper grapples with a knot of contradictions: Is the Black officer a sign of progressive change, or of a system that shifts its appearance without changing its outcomes? How to reconcile the fact that policing helped lift his family out of poverty while it has kept its knee on the necks of his people? Fearless and singularly powerful, The Black Shield gives us an American story about race and power that has never been told before.

Warum Kreativität schon immer die richtige Antwort auf alle Probleme warEinst war die Logik unser ganzer Stolz. Alles haben wir geplant und gemessen. Doch plötzlich verstehen wir die Welt nicht mehr. Wir haben uns verrechnet. Nun drängt auch noch Künstliche Intelligenz in unser Leben und auf unsere Bildschirme. Die Logik kennt keine Grenzen mehr. Die Zukunft scheint nicht länger eine Verheißung zu sein, sondern eine Zumutung. Controller denken: Der Mensch ist kostspielig, kompliziert und unkalkulierbar. Ihn zu ersetzen verspricht große Profitsprünge. Das ist Kapitalismus next level.&nbsp; 
Frank Dopheide findet, es ist höchste Zeit, sich auf das zu besinnen, was uns Menschen wirklich ausmacht. Wir sind schöpferische Wesen. Unser Einfallsreichtum kann Leben retten - und unseren Feierabend. Kreativität kann Menschen zum Weinen und Lachen bringen und ein ganzes Stadion zum Mitsingen. Kreativität ist kein Kurs in der Volkshochschule, sondern der Moment, in dem man Flügel bekommt und über sich hinauswächst. Geben wir den Menschen den Glauben an das Wunder der Kreativität zurück. Hier ist das Buch dazu. Zum Lesen, Staunen, Freuen, Mitmachen und Verschenken.&nbsp;

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear LifeSimultaneously 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

Lessons on Building a Beautiful Life

Still Bobbi

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. 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.

Part legal thriller, part untold Howard Hughes history, Life, Death &amp; Domicile is attorney Rick Harrison's firsthand account of the eight-year battle over the billionaire's estate—and the disturbing evidence his investigation uncovered about the men who controlled Hughes during the final years of his life. On April 5, 1976, Howard Hughes—the aviator, industrialist, Hollywood mogul, and one of the richest men in the world—was flown from Acapulco toward Houston in catastrophic physical condition. He was seventy years old, severely emaciated and dehydrated, dependent on drugs, and had been hidden from public view for years. He died before reaching the hospital. His death was only the beginning. Drawing on Harrison's firsthand experience, testimony, depositions, medical evidence, court battles, and encounters with the remarkable cast of characters surrounding Hughes, Life, Death &amp; Domicile: The Kidnapping of Howard Hughes tells the story of a young lawyer handed the case of a lifetime—and the disturbing world he discovered behind the locked doors surrounding one of America's most famous billionaires. Part courtroom drama, part investigative history, and part legal memoir, it is the story of the battle for Howard Hughes's fortune—and the fight to determine who controlled the man before everyone began fighting over what he left behind.

We live in the Age of Shock, an era in which the interval between global crises has collapsed to zero and human biology is overwhelmed by an exponential torrent of data. Leaders who don't respond effectively face a stark reality: neither they nor their organizations will keep up for long.Through his own remarkable story of survival, Chaim Oren teaches leaders to abandon the outdated myth of resilience--'bouncing back'--and instead learn how to rise forward. Instead of trying to withstand shocks, he shows how to convert the kinetic force of continuous disruption into upward momentum.This is a clear-eyed, highly actionable blueprint that transforms wellbeing into the mission-critical, load-bearing infrastructure required to survive the biological and organizational friction of our time.

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.
