Hardback. Zustand: Good. The present is a contest between the bright and dark sides of discovery. To avoid being torn apart by its stresses, we need to recognize the fact--and gain courage and wisdom from the past. Age of Discovery shows how. Now is the best moment in history to be alive, but we have never felt more anxious or divided. Human health, aggregate wealth and education are flourishing. Scientific discovery is racing forward. But the same global flows of trade, capital, people and ideas that make gains possible for some people deliver big losses to others--and make us all more vulnerable to one another. Business and science are working giant revolutions upon our societies, but our politics and institutions evolve at a much slower pace. That's why, in a moment when everyone ought to be celebrating giant global gains, many of us are righteously angry at being left out and stressed about where we're headed. To make sense of present shocks, we need to step back and recognize: we've been here before. The first Renaissance, the time of Columbus, Copernicus, Gutenberg and others, likewise redrew all maps of the world, democratized communication and sparked a flourishing of creative achievement. But their world also grappled with the same dark side of rapid change: social division, political extremism, insecurity, pandemics and other unintended consequences of discovery. Now is the second Renaissance. We can still flourish--if we learn from the first. re.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The polar ice caps are melting, hurricanes and droughts ravish the planet, and the earth's population is threatened by catastrophic climate change. Millions of American jobs have been sent overseas and aren't coming back. Young African-American men make up the majority of America's prison population. Half of the American population are poor or near poor, living precariously on the brink, while the top one percent own as much as the bottom eighty. Government police-state spying on its citizens is pervasive. Consequently, as former President Jimmy Carter has said, "we have no functioning democracy." Imagine: Living In a Socialist U.S.A., edited by Francis Goldin, Debby Smith, and Michael Steven Smith, is at once an indictment of American capitalism as the root cause of our spreading dystopia and a cri de coeur for what life could be like in the United States if we had economic as well as a real political democracy. This anthology features essays by revolutionary thinkers, activists, and artists--including Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore, civil rights activist Angela Davis, incarcerated journalist Mumia Abu Jamal, and economist Rick Wolff-- addressing various aspects of a new society and, crucially, how to get from where we are now to where we want to be, living in a society that is truly fair and just. This collection from leading voices on the left offers a bold vision for what comes next: A Critique of Capitalism: Essays from Paul Street, Rick Wolff, and others explore how the profit-driven system is the true enemy, leading to ecological crisis, social breakdown, and the erosion of democracy. Economic Democracy: Move beyond the 1 percent. Discover concrete proposals for a democratically run economy based on worker-owned and community-controlled enterprises, not Wall Street oligarchs. Social Justice in Practice: Angela Davis and Mumia Abu-Jamal imagine alternatives to the prison-industrial complex, while others explore what housing, healthcare, and education would look like when treated as fundamental human rights. A Roadmap to a New America: Beyond the critique, this anthology offers practical strategies for how to get there, with contributions from activists and thinkers like Michael Moore on how to build a truly fair and just society.…

Zustand: Good. A murder she doesn't remember committing. A killer she doesn't remember meeting. Stay Awake proves memory can be deadly. Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she's dropped off at the door of her Brooklyn apartment, a stranger answers, claiming to live there. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to find a bloodstained knife and a scribbled message on her hand: STAY AWAKE. Alarmed and disoriented, Liv spies a report of a crime where the victim's blood has been used to scrawl a message on a window--just like the one on her hand. What did she do last night? And why does she remember nothing from the past two years? There's someone who knows exactly what she did, and they'll do anything to make her forget--permanently. Unfolding at breakneck speed, Megan Goldin's Stay Awake will keep you up all night.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "A gripping story that is equal parts shocking, unnerving, and thrilling. Goldin takes the 'true crime' trope to new and unexpected territory." --Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of Girl, Forgotten Rachel Krall, the true crime podcaster star of Megan Goldin's acclaimed The Night Swim, returns to search for a popular influencer who disappears after visiting a suspected serial killer. Terence Bailey is about to be released from prison for breaking and entering, though investigators have long suspected him in the murders of six women. As his release date approaches, Bailey gets a surprise visit from Maddison Logan, a hot, young influencer with a huge social media following. Hours later, Maddison disappears, and police suspect she's been kidnapped--or worse. Is Maddison's disappearance connected to her visit to Bailey? And why was she visiting him in the first place? When they hit a wall in the investigation, the FBI reluctantly asks for Rachel Krall's help in finding the missing influencer. Maddison seems to only exist on social media; she has no family, no friends, and other than in her posts, most people have never seen her. Who is she, really? Using a fake Instagram account, Rachel goes undercover to BuzzCon, a popular influencer conference, where she discovers a world of fierce rivalry that may have turned lethal. When police find the body of a woman with a tattoo of a snake eating its tail--identical to a tattoo Rachel had seen on Bailey's hand--the FBI must consider a chilling possibility: Bailey has an accomplice on the outside and a dangerous obsession with influencers, including Rachel Krall herself. Suddenly the target of a monster hiding in plain sight, Rachel is forced to confront the very real dangers that lurk in the dark corners of the internet.…
