'Sadie Smith' is how the narrator introduces herself to the rural commune of French subversives on whom she is keeping tabs, and to her lover, Lucien, a young and well-born Parisian she has met by 'cold bump'-making him believe the encounter was accidental. Like everyone she targets, Lucien is useful to her and used by her. Sadie operates by strategy and dissimulation, based on what her 'contacts'-shadowy figures in business and government-instruct. First, these contacts want her to incite provocation. Then they want more. In this region of old farms and prehistoric caves, Sadie becomes entranced by a mysterious figure named Bruno Lacombe, a mentor to the young activists who believes that the path to emancipation is not revolt but a return to the ancient past. Just as Sadie is certain she's the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story. Written in short, vaulting sections, Rachel Kushner's rendition of 'noir' is taut and dazzling. Creation Lake is Kushner's finest achievement yet-a work of high art, high comedy, and unforgettable pleasure. …

Neuware - In the vein of Notorious RBG, a fun and inspiring biography filled with lessons from the most powerful woman in the world, based on more than a decade's worth of coverage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel from New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy.Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An eye-opening exploration of humanity's unprecedented path to global depopulation and its significance from economists Dean Spears and Michael Geruso. The world's population has surged over the past 200 years-not due to increased fertility, but thanks to improvements in survival. Since then, our larger society has thrived like never before: scientific breakthroughs, a global economy, healthier lives, and social progress. A significant shift is now on the horizon. Humanity is projected to peak at 10 billion, followed by a rapid decline. It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better-better for the planet, better for the people who remain. This book asks you to think again. Depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges, nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. In After the Spike, economists Dean Spears and Michael Geruso shed light on the consequences of this unprecedented shift. They carefully analyze the stakes of global depopulation, exploring its impact on living standards, climate, and even extinction. Surprisingly, they reveal that stabilizing the global population doesn't have to mean sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities. Their insights challenge us to view the fight against depopulation as intertwined with social equity and the inherent value of every human life. After the Spike is a rallying call to action to ensure a thriving future for generations to come.…
