Beirut Rules: The Murder of a CIA Station Chief and Hezbollah's War Against America
by Fred Burton Samuel M. KatzFrom the New York Times bestselling coauthors of Under Fire comes the story of the kidnapping and murder of CIA Station Chief William Buckley and the bloody beginning of the CIA&’s endless war against Islamic radicalism. On April 18, 1983, a van rigged with two thousand pounds of heavy explosives broke through the security perimeter of the American embassy in Lebanon and exploded, killing sixty-three people and decimating intelligence operations throughout the Middle East. Only one man inside the CIA possessed the courage and skills to rebuild the networks destroyed in the blast: William Buckley. Assigned as the new Beirut Station Chief, Buckley arrived in the war-torn city to find a CIA station in tatters and an intelligence playing-field unlike any other in the world; the veteran of the Cold War would now be learning Beirut rules. A field operative at heart, he delved into Beirut&’s darkest corners, developing new sources and handling assets. Then, on October 23, a US Marine Corps barrack was destroyed in a plot masterminded by a young terrorist named Imad Mughniyeh. But even as President Reagan vowed revenge, Mughniyeh eyed a new target: Buckley. Beirut Rules is the pulse-by-pulse account of Buckley&’s abduction, torture, and murder at the hands of Hezbollah terrorists. Drawing on never-before-seen US government documents, as well as interviews with Buckley&’s co-workers, friends, and family, Fred Burton and Samuel M. Katz reveal how the relentless search for Buckley in the wake of his kidnapping ignited a war against terror that continues to shape the Middle East to this day.

by Hemant TanejaFrom the CEO of global investment and transformation company General Catalyst, this powerful, timely set of principles is an essential guide to long-term success, for business leaders, founders, and policymakers navigating a new era of technological and geopolitical change.Capitalism has historically focused on profit generation, with positive impact left to non-profits.

Saving Can-Do: How to Revive the Spirit of America
by Philip K. HowardFrustration with government is widespread, but neither party has a vision for making things work sensibly. In Saving Can-Do, Philip K. Howard shows how to revive our freedom to roll up our sleeves and act like Americans again.All societies periodically undergo a major shift in the social order. America is at one of those moments of change, but neither political party is offering a vision for overhaul. President Trump&’s approach to government is to swing a wrecking ball at the status quo. But how will Washington work better the day after DOGE? Democrats are in denial, waiting their turn to run a bloated government that Americans increasingly loathe. In this brief, bold book, Philip K. Howard, the civic philosopher who advises leaders of both sides, offers a dramatically simpler governing vision: Replace red tape with responsibility. Let Americans use their judgment. Let other Americans hold them accountable for their results and their values. In Saving Can-Do, best-selling author Philip K. Howard unlocks the quandary of populist resentment and also of broken government. Nothing works as it should because red tape has strangled common sense. Of course people don&’t get along—we&’re not allowed to be ourselves. The geniuses in the 1960s tried to create a government better than people. Just follow the rules. Or prove that your judgment about someone is fair. But how do you prove who is selfish, or doesn&’t try hard? Bureaucracy makes people go brain dead—so focused on mindless compliance that they can&’t solve the problem before them. America is flailing in legal quicksand. The solution is a new governing framework that allows Americans to roll up their sleeves and take responsibility. We must scrap the red tape state. What&’s required is a multi-year effort to replace these massive failed bureaucracies with simpler codes that are activated by people using their judgment. The idea is not radical, but traditional—it&’s the operating philosophy of the Constitution. As America approaches the 250th anniversary of the revolution, it&’s time to reclaim the magic of America&’s unique can-do culture.

Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
by Thea Riofrancos"Dazzling in the bold questions it asks.…An immense contribution." —Naomi Klein An in-depth investigation into the growing industry of green technologies and the environmental, social, and political consequences of the mining it requires. Lithium, a crucial input in the batteries powering electric vehicles, has the potential to save the world from climate change. But even green solutions come at a cost. Mining lithium is environmentally destructive. We therefore confront a dilemma: Is it possible to save the world by harming it in the process? Having spent over a decade researching mining and oil sectors in Latin America, Thea Riofrancos is a leading voice on resource extraction. In Extraction, she draws on groundbreaking fieldwork on the global race for lithium. Taking readers from the breathtaking salt flats of Chile’s Atacama Desert, to Nevada’s glorious Silver Peak Range, to the rolling hills of the Barroso Region of Portugal, she reveals the social and environmental costs of "critical minerals." In Washington, DC, and Brussels, she tracks the escalating geopolitics of green technology supply chains. And she takes stock of new policy paradigms in the Global South, where governments seek to leverage mineral assets to jumpstart green development. In the process, Riofrancos uncovers surprising links across history, from colonial conquest to the 1970s energy crisis, to our still uncertain green future. While unregulated mining could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers optimistic proposals to transform the governance of mining while also reducing the sheer volume of global extraction. A rigorous and hopeful call to action, Extraction shares how we can harmonize climate goals with social justice—and set the planet on a course to ecological flourishing.

The Ecological Imaginary in Literature and Other Media: The Nature of Fantasy (Routledge Studies in Speculative Fiction)
by Kevan ManwaringFrom Gilgamesh to Gawain and the Green Knight, the Brothers Grimm to Grimdark, the natural world has provided the backdrop for Fantasy since its earliest iterations. The playgrounds of childhood are often a writer’s first Fantasy landscape and can develop into fully fledged storyworlds.

And in a time of Climate Emergency, is the nature of Fantasy changing to reflect the challenges it presents? Can the blue-sky thinking of the Fantastic provide us with a useful tool for addressing what the United Nations has called ‘the defining crisis of our time’? This is a timely survey of the environmental aspects of Fantasy, with a unique focus on Fantasy sites and the real-world impact of Fantasy texts across media.
