A FINALIST FOR THE 2024 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE A Best Book of the Year in The Economist, Prospect, The Telegraph, TLS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Foreign Affairs 'Magisterial' - Max Hastings, The Sunday Times 'Monumental' - Rana Mitter, Times Literary Supplement 'Every so often, a new work emerges of such immense scholarship and weight that it really does add a significant difference to our understanding of the Second World War and its consequences. Judgement at Tokyo is one such, a monumental work in both scale and detail, beautifully constructed and written, leaving the reader not only moved but disturbed as well.' - James Holland, The Sunday Telegraph 'A work of singular importance . . . balanced, original, human, accessible, and riveting' - Philippe Sands, author of East-West Street A landmark history of the postwar trials of Japan's leaders as war criminals, and their impact on the modern history of Asia and the world. In the weeks after Japan finally surrendered to the Allies to end World War II, the victorious powers turned to the question of how to move on from years of carnage and destruction. For the Allied powers, the trials were an opportunity both to render judgment on their vanquished foes and to create a legal framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of aggressive war. For the Japanese leaders on trial, it was their chance to argue that their war had been waged to liberate Asia from Western imperialism and that the court was no more than victors' justice. Gary J. Bass' Judgement at Tokyo is a magnificent, riveting story of wartime action, dramatic courtroom battles, and the epic formative years that set the stage for the postwar era in the Asia-Pacific. 'A comprehensive, landmark and riveting book' - The Washington Post, 'The 10 Best Books of 2023' 'Breathtakingly ambitious and unlikely to be bettered as a portrait of the trials and their place in postwar global history' - History Today

The definitive account of the Tokyo war crimes trials of 1946-8, WWII and the beginning of the end of the European empires in Asia and the impact the settlement has had on post-war China and Japan, the wider history of East and South Asia - and of the world - to this day.

What Happens in the Dark

Set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in southern Virginia, a murder case sets a duo of white and Black lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they work to defend their wrongfully-accused Black defendants in this courtroom drama from the number one bestselling author David Baldacci. Jack Lee is a white lawyer from Freeman County, Virginia, who has never done anything to push back against racism, until he decides to represent Jerome Washington, a Black man charged with killing an elderly and wealthy white couple. Doubting his decision, Lee fears that his legal skills may not be enough to prevail in a case where the odds are already stacked against both him and his client. And he quickly finds himself out of his depth when he realizes that what is at stake is far greater than the outcome of a murder trial. Desiree DuBose is a Black lawyer from Chicago who has devoted her life to furthering the causes of justice and equality for everyone. She comes to Freeman County and enters a fractious and unwieldy partnership with Lee in a legal battle against the best prosecutor in town. Yet DuBose is also aware that powerful outside forces are at work to blunt the victories achieved by the Civil Rights era. Lee and DuBose could not be more dissimilar. On their own, neither one can stop the prosecution's deliberate march towards a guilty verdict and the electric chair. But together, the pair fight for what once seemed impossible: a chance for a fair trial and true justice.

A Calamity of Souls is the gripping historical courtroom drama from the multimillion copy number one bestselling author.

A Calamity of Souls

A Nora Carleton Legal Thriller

'The plot goes like a train . . . vivid and compelling' Ian Rankin

One chance to crack the case. A million ways to lose.

Federal prosecutor Nora Carleton has spent years building a case against a powerful New York mobster. She finally has a star witness whose testimony will lock the defendant away for good.

But the courtroom is an unpredictable place. While the killing of a disgraced former governor appears unconnected to the trial, the fallout from his death means a guilty verdict hangs in the balance. 

Desperate to stop the mobster walking free, Nora investigates the darker side of the city to find out how everything connects. The more she uncovers, the deeper the corruption runs. And Nora knows better than most that the truth is a fragile thing - especially in court.

Drawing on James Comey's thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity - perfect for fans of John Grisham.

"Effective writing communicates the message in a way that makes it easier for the reader to relate and react positively to what they (reader) understand. Effective writing is helped or enhanced by 'charting-a-course' to convey your message with impact." Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey (Think before you Ink!) 
 
Publishing a book can help you expand and enhance your business. It can help differentiate you from your competition! This can work in any industry!
 
Perhaps you've been told you need to write a book; to create physical or online products. This, 'they' tell you, will help you succeed, make lots of money, and even make you famous. Perhaps? Perhaps NOT! We can help you explore whether this is a worthwhile investment of your time, expertise, and money.
 
Ever dreamed of being a best-selling author? Well, first you must write the book! We can help with that, and maybe the best-selling part too.
 
Depending on where you are in your writing journey you can have your new book published in as little as 30-90 days. Whether you are working on an article, a book, or creating one of a multitude of other Business Enhancement Success Tools (see Bob's BEST(TM)) starting with the right questions provides a solid foundation for your success. 
 
We want you to be inspired and educated so you can move forward with your publishing project and see it successfully brought into the world. We drew from those events in creating this little guidebook, just for you!
Some areas to consider as you begin the writing process (consulting/coaching is available)
 
1. Selecting the best topic or theme to write about for a book. What do you 'actually' know and love? Why not ask Canada's Ideaman for help in creating this for your work?
 
2. Creating an 'effective' title and tag line or sub-title. Taglines are sometimes even more important than a title. (See How to craft effective book titles and subtitles)
 
3. Getting the help, you 'need' to bring your book into reality: editors, proofreaders, graphic artists, etc. Ask Irene!
 
4. What to say about yourself - creating effective author bio's: Strategic sizzle sells.
 
5. Getting forewords, endorsements, reviews, and testimonials and why you need them. Endorsements are valuable!
 
6. Marketing your book online, choosing keywords that help you get noticed. Getting your friends to help create excitement and buzz. Returning the favour! We can even assist you in creating a customized webpage to showcase and sell your book. Again, Ask Irene!
 
7. Starting with the creative add-on business/product spin offs in mind - think in advance about other products that can be built around or from your book.
 
8. Why you should consider doing an e-pub, Smashwords, and kindle version as well as a print version at the same time.
 
9. Launching successfully - tips and techniques, and detours (leverage our experience and expertise).
 
10. How to run a best seller campaign - with a little help from 
 your friends.

WRITE ON!

This open access book examines a rapidly 'datafied' society, reminding us that it is crucial to know what data is about and where it originates. This insight has led to an embryonic stage of new theorizing, empirical research, and the formation of new technologies, standards, practices, and concepts to ensure the availability of adequate 'paradata' - data on the making and processing of data. This edited volume aims to provide a cross-disciplinary overview of perspectives on the concept and phenomenon of paradata and its implications for research and practice.

A Financial Times Book of the Year: An intimate exploration of Yves Saint Laurent's creative world, captured by photographer - and son of the couturier's right-hand woman, Anne-Marie Muñoz - Carlos Muñoz-Yagüe. Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out presents an extraordinarily intimate insight into a fascinating world of creativity in the latter, sumptuous phase of Saint Laurent's career, between 1989 and his final collection in 2002. The book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-the-scenes work of the 'petites mains' in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The house's world-famous models also feature, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house's grandiose salons and in electric backstage moments before the shows. Private archive materials - letters, documents, drawings, and ephemera - that situate the protagonists and give context to the unique position that the young Carlos enjoyed as a 'fly on the wall' in this rarefied universe are also included in the book, and published here for the first time. A moving and visually stunning tribute to the iconic Yves Saint Laurent house as you've never seen it before, Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out will be a must-have for fashion and photography fans.

How to Improve Your Communication Skills

Pauline Julier, born in 1981, graduated in political sciences from the Université Grenoble Alpes and in photography from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d'Arles; she also completed the SPEAP Art and Politics Experimental Program at Sciences Po in Paris. Her multimedia works featured in this book take us through the geological ages of planet Earth and into space. At the interface of documentary and fiction, Julier takes us on a dizzying journey through space and time. She interweaves different histories and combines natural disasters with the Anthropocene's paradigm shifts. Looking into the past and the future, Julier investigates highly topical questions about the unlimited use of natural resources, escapism, and the colonization of space.
 Conceived and designed as a work of art in its own right, this volume offers a comprehensive insight into Pauline Julier's art and thought through a conversation with eminent scholar of science and technology studies Donna Haraway, and contributions by curator Céline Eidenbenz; anthropologist and writer Nastassja Martin; and art historian, curator, and author Chus Martínez.
