Some of Us Are Liars

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.

DER KAPITALISMUS DURCH&nbsp;DIE AUGEN SEINER SCHÄRFSTEN KRITIKER
 
 Wie lässt sich eine gerechtere, zukunftsfähige Gesellschaft denken? Diese zentrale Frage beschäftigt Kapitalismuskritiker seit Jahrhunderten. Rasant und gewinnbringend porträtiert John Cassidy die wichtigsten Ideen, die vor 250 Jahren genauso relevant waren wie heute: von der überraschenden Kolonialkritik Adam Smiths über Rosa Luxemburgs sozialistische Utopie bis zu den ökologischen Visionen des indischen Ökonomen J. C. Kumarappa. Ein Buch, das erklärt, warum der Kapitalismus immer wieder neue Krisen produziert und seinen Kritikern immer wieder Argumente liefert.
 
 »John Cassidy zeigt: Der Kampf zwischen dem Kapitalismus und seinen Kritikern dreht sich nicht nur um wirtschaftliche Ideen, sondern um das Wesen unserer Gesellschaft.«&nbsp;
 Joseph Stiglitz
 , Nobelpreisträger für&nbsp;Wirtschaftswissenschaften

 Der Kapitalismus und seine Kritiker
 ein faszinierendes Panorama, das von den Anfängen der industriellen Revolution im 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Ära der künstlichen Intelligenz reicht. Mit erzählerischer Brillanz und analytischer Schärfe macht er sichtbar, wie tief die Debatten um Gier, Innovation, Ausbeutung und soziale Gerechtigkeit in den gesellschaftlichen Wandel eingreifen – und wie aktuell sie bis heute sind.&nbsp;

'What a remarkable book by a unique and extraordinary man. I fell in love with Jason's family, especially the incredible Giff (what a mother, what a woman!) and I cheered at every infuriating brick wall she and Jason smashed down' - Kathy Burke, author of A Mind of My Own'You did it, didn't you, Jason?' Mum asked. 'No, Giff,' I told her. 'We did. We did it . . .'When Jason Arday was thirty-seven years old, everything changed. He made international news by becoming the youngest Black professor in the almost thousand-year history of the University of Cambridge. But that remarkable achievement is only part of his great and unfortunate tale.&nbsp;He grew up in a council house in south London with his parents and two brothers. Diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay at the age of three, he spent much of his non-verbal childhood navigating a system that struggled to understand him. Doctors and teachers believed there was 'no one in there'. But Jason's mother, Giff, refused to accept the limits others placed on her son.&nbsp;With the faith of his family and the support of a handful of extraordinary friends and mentors, Jason slowly found his voice. He spoke his first word at eleven, learned to read at eighteen, and discovered a passion for education and helping others that would transform his life. Along the way there were improbable triumphs and heartbreaking setbacks, tears of joy and moments so painful that laughter was the only option, and more than one occasion when everything seemed poised to fall apart.Great and Unfortunate Things is an unforgettable book about resilience and love - and the transformative power of someone who believes in you when the world does not.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MONEY: A USER'S GUIDEWe vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?So why - in the privacy of the therapy room - does money emerge as one of the biggest causes of tension for modern couples? Why is it cited as the major factor in family estrangement between parents, children, and siblings? Why is there a trend for the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to go to court to retrieve loans they regret handing over?In MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE, Laura showed us how to save into a pension and understand investment. This time, she delves into the really complex stuff - a non-judgemental examination of whether there is a "right" way to share our money with those we love, and what everyone else does behind closed doors. A book that none of us want to admit we need.How do you decide who picks up the bill, or what goes in the joint account? Is your partner being generous or controlling? Is this house mine if your parents paid most of the deposit? How much are you prepared to spend to have a baby? When should we give money to our kids, our mum and dad, our siblings, our community? Should they pay us back? What does everyone else do? Why don't we know? And why does it feel so agonisingly awkward to ask?This is a book of personal finance advice told through real stories about other people's modern money and relationship dilemmas.Laura speaks to financial advisers and wealth managers, marriage counsellors and matchmakers, philosophers, religious leaders, funeral directors and divorce lawyers, to get to the bottom of the questions that can be much more fundamental to our wealth and happiness than where to put our savings.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

A whimsical visual survey of the house cat in art and popular culture, exploring humanity’s enduring connection to one of our most loved animal companions 

 Cats have been beloved and depicted by humans for millennia. These captivating animals appeared as worship statuettes in ancient Egypt, in anthropomorphic illustrations in Victorian England, and, today, in contemporary artwork, on fashion runways, and as social media memes.

Cat celebrates how our feline friends have been depicted in art, popular culture, and history across time and around the world. This vibrantly illustrated book features more than 210 full-page images artfully arranged into playful pairings. Filled with famous artworks, vintage advertisements, classic animations, high-end fashion designs, and more, the book presents a stunning array of imagery, from maneki-neko lucky cats to artists’ pets, and ancient mosaics to contemporary couture.

Readers will find iconic pop-culture characters, including Puss in Boots, the Cheshire Cat, and more; renowned artists, such as Andy Warhol, Tracey Emin, Judy Chicago, and Utagawa Hiroshige; and famed creatives, including street-style photographer Jamel Shabazz and fashion designer Thom Browne.

Balancing style with substance, the book includes a foreword by Hannah Shaw, also known as Kitten Lady, who declares that celebrating the cat in images empathetically connects us to this beloved animal, and an enlightening essay by curator Leïla Jarbouai, who traces humanity’s symbiotic relationship with cats through the lens of art history.

Featuring an elegant and irresistible cover design depicting a curled-up black cat, this charming volume revels in the undeniable appeal of this captivating animal.

Advisory panel: Yekaterina Barbash, Claire Catterall, Anja Charbonneau, Mihoko Iida, Leïla Jarbouai, Jenny Pierson, Hannah Shaw aka Kitten Lady, Anna Stothart, BriAnne Wills, and Kristiina Wilson

Additional texts: Sara Bader, Yekaterina Barbash, Tim Cooke, Anita Croy, Ellen Mara De Wachter, Catherine Ingram, Leïla Jarbouai, Rebecca Morrill, Ilana Novick, Hannah Silver, Katy Sprinkel, David Trigg, and Alexandra Zagalsky

A grippingly personal analysis of J. K. Rowling's rise as an anti-trans activist, its media and pop cultural context, and trans resistance to the moral panic she has stoked.
 
 In J. K. Rowling and the Anti-Trans Panic, Gina Gwenffrewi weaves her own experience as a trans woman living in Edinburgh, Scotland, with analysis of political and pop cultural discourses and artifacts to deliver a trenchant study of how fellow Edinburgh resident J. K. Rowling's emergence as a major anti-trans campaigner and the years-long entrenchment of existing anti-trans forces have converged. Analyzing Rowling's output since 2020, a series of anti-trans events at the University of Edinburgh, the transphobic comedy of Ricky Gervais within the British media landscape, YouTube commentaries, and more, Gwenffrewi creates a potent taxonomy of the rhetorical devices and foundational assumptions of anti-trans discourse. While the 2020s UK has proved fertile ground for "gender-critical" feminism, she argues, it has also provided the foundation for sites of resistance and for bolstering transgender voices worldwide. In celebrating trans activism and trans joy amid adversity, Gwenffrewi beautifully captures the light and dark of being out as trans in the city that-if it can fairly be called ground zero for anti-trans fervor-also embodies liberatory possibilities for trans people worldwide.

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

The Ghrits (Ghirths) of the Kangra Valley form one of the most distinctive communities of the Western Himalaya, recognised since 1848 for their unique physiognomy and their concentration in the Kangra hills. Popular belief traces their ancestry to the ancient Traigarta of the Mahabharata, a claim emotionally compelling yet historically unverified.
This book re-examines these narratives through a rigorous and interdisciplinary lens. Drawing on history, sociology, linguistics, physiognomy, inscriptions, oral traditions, art forms, and occupational patterns, it reconstructs an evidence-based account of the origins and evolution of the Ghrit identity.
Beyond questions of ancestry, the work offers a vivid portrait of Ghrit life and culture, exploring their beliefs, customs, festivals, artistic traditions, social values, and changing occupations. At a time when urbanisation and shifting aspirations are distancing younger generations from their roots, this book serves as both a scholarly study and a cultural archive, enabling the Ghrit community, especially its urban members, to reconnect with a heritage that is gradually fading from collective memory today.
