Marshall H: Playing Cupid

Playing Cupid

A visionary leader in clean and renewable energy tells his incredible personal story and outlines a smart and sane way forward for meeting the world's growing energy needs.Michael Polsky is one of the most important figures in American clean energy--here, he tells the remarkable story of his rise from a penniless young Soviet émigré to leadership in this essential industry. Only a decade ago, many thought that demand for electricity in America might never rise again. Today, AI, cryptocurrency, and electrification are fueling the largest surge in electricity demand in fifty years. Polsky has spent the past four decades building power plants, but even he never expected to see this kind of surge in demand. Most of the companies driving it want electricity produced by clean, sustainable renewable sources, mainly wind and solar power. His journey in clean energy is America's journey too. Inexhaustible intertwines his personal story--an immigrant who arrived in America from the Soviet Union with $500 in his pocket and a few phrases of broken English who, twenty-five years later, founded a multibillion dollar independent energy company--with the story of America's energy evolution from coal and oil to wind and solar power.Polsky's career evolved from working on oil- and coal-powered plants, to generating power from nuclear and natural gas, to renewable energy. It was a natural progression that helped him form a distinct vision of the future, which guided him to what would be the next best way to develop projects and produce electricity. The United States is heading in the same direction, for a simple reason: not because we have all become environmental activists, but because renewable-energy technology just makes sense. It has the potential to create unlimited amounts of energy, and a low-cost, highly efficient, and reliable power system.Polsky's company, Invenergy, is now the biggest privately owned clean-energy business in the US. He was forward-thinking enough to have built a business with a focus on renewable energy. But the challenge Polsky sees for America is that we don't have enough installed renewable-power generation, hooked up to the grid and ready to supply. Because demand for electricity is so unprecedented, the source of the energy is becoming somewhat secondary to the need itself. We're burning more fossil fuels than ever before, reopening mothballed nuclear power stations, and betting on experimental technology.We are entering an era of an "all of the above" approach to generating electricity, driven by the surge in demand and the realization that neither fossil fuels nor renewables alone can meet all our needs. As Polsky sees it, the danger is that our immediate appetites could blind us to the consequences of using all forms of energy: making climate change worse, slowing the energy transition, and the potentially disastrous results of a nuclear accident.Polsky is far from a green warrior or an ecological activist. As a student in his native Kyiv, Ukraine, he was trained in the 1970s to design power plants that burned heavy oil or coal. When he emigrated to the United States in 1976, he worked on nuclear power plants, then on gas-powered plants, and then on power plants that burned coal, oil, and natural gas. The first company he started worked on coal- and natural-gas-fired power plants; his second company developed facilities that burned natural gas, tires, and wood.Today, Polsky and Invenergy are in the renewable-energy business because it is an unprecedented industrial and financial opportunity, offering the chance to create unlimited amounts of energy efficiently, reliably, and at a low cost. It is highly scalable. It is the future toward which technology is taking us. Our choice is not whether or not to switch to renewable energy, but if we will grasp this opportunity or have it forced upon us by crises. As Polsky sees it, there is a smart and forward-looking way to the future, and this book charts what the smart way looks like, and urges us to seize the opportunity it offers.

Lessons from the Best on Turning Setbacks into Breakthroughs

Fail Smarter

From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence 'Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people, markets, and life generally. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Lloyd acted decisively, and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights' WARREN BUFFETT 'A sharp insider's guide to the era of when the financial industry spun out of control before nearly collapsing, then getting larger than ever ... As much as a Wall Street story, it is a wider narrative of culture and leadership' FINANCIAL TIMES When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.

The Bigger You Think

The Sunday Times No 1 bestseller, now updated with a reflection on Fiona's ongoing journey 'I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer's. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.' Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty-one when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heart-breaking diagnosis - under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family. With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs - the inability to concentrate and the 'brain fog' she wrote off as the menopause - to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate. Written with Fiona's trademark honesty, Remember When is a compelling and moving memoir as well as a book offering an important insight into life with a disease that will impact many of us. 'Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shine through om every page' - Lorraine Kelly 'Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they've handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring' - Alison Hammond Remember When was a Sunday Times bestseller at no 1, as of 29/07/2025.

Remember When

Based on extensive research and original interviews, this intimate biography reveals the complexities of Gandolfini's character, his rise to fame, and his lasting impact on television and film."A riveting look inside the mind of a towering talent, this is a must for&nbsp;Sopranos&nbsp;fans."-Publishers Weekly"A fast-moving, entertaining bio of a Hollywood mensch."-KirkusIn&nbsp;Gandolfini,&nbsp;critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played.Gandolfini's roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn't until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen.Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos&nbsp;career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience.More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family.

Perché non sono le tue origini, ma le tue decisioni a determinare la tua vita. NICOLA REPOLE

Raised in a Yorkshire coal-mining town, Jeremy Grantham's iconoclastic investment career was launched into the stratosphere by a few simple ideas: buy cheap, watch for bubbles, and stick to your guns when you know you're right. Grantham created one of the first index funds in the 1970s, pioneered quantitative investment in the 1980s, and embraced emerging markets before other firms saw their potential. He became famous when he accurately predicted and sidestepped a series of bubbles, and his firm skyrocketed to a peak of $155 billion in assets under management. But as his wealth grew, so did his concerns about the deficiencies of capitalism and the unfolding climate crisis. He decided - at the top of his game - to donate nearly all his wealth to environmental protection. With wit that's as cutting against himself as his critics, Grantham reveals how hunting for bargains requires understanding the inefficiencies of the market and the human behaviour that drives it. Ultimately, Grantham offers a deeply human, often heretical and quietly profound lens on investing today.

The Making of a Permabear

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up...On 23 March, 1844, General Tom Thumb, at 25 inches tall, entered the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace and bowed to Queen Victoria. On both sides of the Atlantic, this event marked a tipping point in the nineteenth century: the age of the 'Freak' was born. Bewitching all levels of society, the 'Freak Show' was a world of astonishing spectacle and entertainment. But the real stories and human dramas of the performing men, women and children have been marginalised in the histories of the very people who exploited them. In The Wonders, Dr John Woolf brings to life the history of the Freak show, and how it gave way to some of the great transformations of the age: the birth of showbusiness, celebrity, and 'alternative facts'. The book explores the virtues of the 'Freak' circuit, as well as the ongoing effects of power, fame, exploitation, and our fascination with otherness. Sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant, and always extraordinary, The Wonders is the true story of the performers whose talents and disabilities helped define an era.

The Wonders

Gudang Garam follows the life of Gudang Garam founder Surya Wonowidjoyo's family through his early years, beginning in the early 1920s when his family moved from China Fuzhou to Indonesia, and traces his life from utter poverty as an Indonesian diaspora to founding the cigarette factory in Indonesia in the 1980s. In a parallel story, we follow the life of a young beautiful ballerina- Lelly, who eventually becomes the third wife of Surya in a romantic love story.

Gudang Garam

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.
