Blood and Oil
From award-winning Wall Street Journal reporters comes a revelatory look at the inner workings of the world's most powerful royal family, and how the struggle for succession produced Saudi Arabia's charismatic but ruthless Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aka MBS. 35-year-old Mohammed bin Salman's sudden rise stunned the world. Political and business leaders such as former UK prime minister Tony Blair and WME chairman Ari Emanuel flew out to meet with the crown prince and came away convinced that his desire to reform the kingdom was sincere. He spoke passionately about bringing women into the workforce and toning down Saudi Arabia's restrictive Islamic law. He lifted the ban on women dri...
Billion Dollar Whale
Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next gre...
Her Gates Will Never Be Shut
Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone--these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not? Reacting to presumptions in like manner, others write off the fiery images of final judgment altogether. If there is a God who loves us, then surely all are welcome into the heavenly kingdom, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors in this life. Yet, given the sheer volume of threat ...

Bunker
Thought-provoking and eerily prescient, bunker offers a whirlwind tour of "prepper" communities around the world, In the United States alone, nearly twelve million people are prepared to Survive for thirty days without access to food, water, or power. Millions more have started prepping for the sorts of emergencies-blackouts, wildfires, civil unrest-that they hear about in the news every day. Bradley Garrett crossed four continents to meet preppers building panic rooms and backyard survival chambers, stockpiling supplies, stuffing go-bags, hiding inflatable rafts, rigging mobile "bugout" vehicles, and burrowing deep into the earth. He's taken the pulse of a new global movement and returned with a brilliant, original, and deeply disturbing diagnosis of the way we now live. Whenever social and political systems fail to produce credible narratives of stability, Garrett argues, prepping is a rational response. And those who live in dread-of the next pandemic, of nuclear brinksmanship, or of an accelerating climate crisis-are responding to it predict-ably, reasonably even, by hunkering down. Book jacket.

The Colour of Hope
The Colour Of Hope is a poetry collection with happiness at its heart. The 45 poems inside were created during lockdown, at a time when finding beauty and comfort in the everyday seemed at once fraught with difficulty and vitally important. Each was written for a specific recipient, based on three things they guaranteed would make them feel happy. I received a wonderful range of briefs. From the beautifully universal – a longing for nature and freedom, time spent with family, summers spent in other lands – to the gloriously specific – snaffling a Toffee Crisp from the fridge late at night, Fleetwood Mac songs, foam banana sweets, and Ceilidh dancing. The result is a collection of poems...
