Описание: From a small Christian school in Oklahoma to the White House Situation Room to becoming the most feared polygraph operator in the country, Doug Williams said the words "YOU'RE LYING " to thousands of people hooked up to his lie detector. People feared him and his machine. Fear has a smell and he smelled it everyday in his chamber of polygraph horrors. But Doug knows something and he knows it without any doubt, the polygraph doesn't work. It can be manipulated by the operator to give whatever results he wants. Guilty persons go free and innocent people get hammered mercilessly, all at the whim of the polygraph operator. And he knows something else. It can be beat. He could teach people to beat it and he could teach them in 5 minutes or less to do so. Armed only with his conscience Doug left everything behind to battle the 4 billion dollar a year industry and engage in the ultimate psychological battle of man versus machine to stop the insanity. Taking on all comers and challengers, he won every battle until....they put him in prison. In prison, some men cower. Some men give up. One man is innocent. Now he's out. Game on.
Описание: America's first African American heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Johnson, has a chance encounter with a mysterious Irishman, named Altamont, when they meet at the boxer's restaurant, Caf de Champion, in August 1912. Johnson's new relationship with the unusual man, with beady eyes and hawk-like nose, places him in an unusual circumstance to help Altamont get out of a tough situation. In 1913, Johnson is nailed with a felony conviction in the American court system and flees to Canada, and later travels to England, to meet with fight promoters. But a stolen South African 'blood diamond' and a grudge harbored against the controversial boxer from the past, puts Johnson's life in peril while on British soil, reuniting him with the mysterious Altamont. Will Johnson uncover the true identity of this Irishman, and entrust his life to Altamont's care? And as the action unfurls, Johnson forms an alliance with a black British rogue and grifter, Steve Dixie, but can this man be trusted? With all the uncertainty Johnson faces in a foreign land, and for his own protection, he calls in a favor from his American Mafia cronies, finding himself in league with American teenage mobsters, Alphonse Capone and Frankie Yale. Johnson, Altamont and their entourage of companions' race against the clock, not just to save Johnson's life, but to preserve the national security and future of Britain as well.

In a unique set of original essays, leading Taiwanese figures consider the country s history, politics, society, economy, identity, and future prospects. The volume provides a forum for a diversity of local voices, who are rarely heard in the power struggle between China and the United States over Taiwan s future. Whether it will be absorbed by China, continue in its current limbo as an unrecognized state, or seek outright independence and national sovereignty remains an open question. Reflecting the deep ethnic and political differences that are essential to understanding Taiwan today, this work provides a nuanced introduction to its role in international politics.

Описание: With so many flare-ups of nationalism and isolationism in recent years, there is a sense that Europe needs to be fixed, or, at the very least, profoundly reconfigured; whether it is to address the grievances of those feeling disenfranchised from it, or to improve social cohesion, or even continue to exist as a democratic transnational entity. Bringing together 28 acclaimed women writers, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs from across Europe, this powerful and timely anthology looks at an ever-changing Europe from a variety of different perspectives and offers hope and insight into how we might begin to rebuild. Introduced by Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project. In collaboration with Hay Festival and Wom@rts.

Описание:
Author Under Sail offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer. Jay Williams examines the authorial imagination in London’s work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a three-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London’s “Story of a Typhoon” to The People of the Abyss.
The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on theatricality and the representation of the seen and the unseen.
Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.
