“[Zinni] has a lot of interesting things to say about the dangers of pursuing our current course in foreign policy. He is a distinctly non-ideological man in an era when ideology is running rampant.” —Michael Abramowitz, The Washington Post

For the better part of the last half century, we have been the World’s

Police, claiming to defend ideologies, allies, and our national security

through brute force. But is military action always the most appropriate

response? Drawing on his vast experience, from combat in Vietnam

to peacekeeping in Somalia, to war games in Washington, DC and

negotiations with former rebels in the Philippines, retired four-star

General Tony Zinni argues that we have a lot of work to do to make

the process of going to war—or not—more clear-eyed and ultimately

successful. He examines the relationship between the executive and

the military (including the difference between passive and engaged

presidents); the failures of the Joint Chief of Staff; the challenges

of working with the UN, coalition forces, and NATO; the difference

between young, on the ground officers and less savvy senior leaders;

the role of special forces and drone warfare; and the difficult choices

that need to be made to create tomorrow’s military. Among his

provocative points:

• Virtually every recent American military operation follows a

disconnected series of actions that lead to outcomes we never

foresaw or intended.

• We need to assign accountability for the political decisions that can

make or break a mission.

• Words and ideas are as important to victory in today’s conflicts as

bullets.

• The cyber “war” is ongoing. Either you must build better tech than

the other guy, or you must steal it.

• Our foreign aid budget is pitiful, our State Department, USAID,

and the other government agencies that we critically need to be on

a par with our military are underfunded, undermanned, and poorly

structured for their current objectives.

From the Oval Office to the battlefield, Before the First Shots Are Fired is

a hard-hitting analysis of the history of America’s use of military action

and a spirited call for change.

General Tony Zinni (retired) was

commander-in-chief of CENTCOM and

special envoy to the Middle East before

retiring as a four-star general. He has

appeared on The Daily Show and Meet the

Press, among others. He is the author of

The Battle for Peace and Leading the Charge.

Guy Spier has run Aquamarine Fund

for the last 14 years. An ardent disciple

of Warren Buffett, Guy launched the

fund at $15 million in assets, following

a close replication of the original

Buffett partnership rules. Guy received

his education at Brasenose College,

Oxford and Harvard Business School,

and worked at the Forward Studies

unit of the European Commission in

management consulting and investment

banking before starting his fund. A

regular commentator on Bloomberg

Television, he has appeared on CNN,

Fox Business News, and CNBC.

What happens when a young Wall Street investment banker spends

a small fortune to have lunch with Warren Buffet? He becomes a real

value investor. In this fascinating inside story, Guy Spier details his

career from Harvard MBA to hedge fund manager. But the path was

not so straightforward. Spier reveals his transformation from a Gordon

Gekko wannabe, driven by greed, to a sophisticated investor who

enjoys success without selling his soul to the highest bidder. Spier’s

journey is similar to the thousands that flock to Wall Street every year

with their shiny new diplomas, aiming to be King of Wall Street. Yet

what Guy realized just in the nick of time was that the King really

lived 1,500 miles away in Omaha, Nebraska. Spier determinedly set

out to create a new career in his own way. Along the way he learned

some powerful lessons which include: why the right mentors and

partners are critical to long term success on Wall Street; why a top-

notch education can sometimes get in the way of your success; that

real learning doesn’t begin until you are on your own; and how the

best lessons from Warren Buffett have less to do with investing and

more to do with being true to yourself. Spier also reveals some of his

own winning investment strategies, detailing deals that were winners

but also what he learned from deals that went south. Part memoir, part

Wall Street advice, and part how-to, Guy Spier takes readers on a ride

through Wall Street but more importantly provides those that want to

take a different path with the insight, guidance, and inspiration they

need to carve out their own definition of success.

In the tradition of Future Shock, a fascinating, optimistic, and frightening

look at the world we might inhabit in 2030

The Future, DeclassifiedMegatrends That Will Undo the World Unless We Take Action

Mathew Burrows

Page 8: FALL 2014 - images.abovethetreeline.comimages.abovethetreeline.com/ea/MM/pdfs/PLT_Fall-2014_10_2013.pdf · For the better part of the last half century, we have been the World’s

September 7

Twenty-five years ago when Mathew Burrows went to work for the

CIA as an intelligence analyst, the world seemed frozen. Then came the

fall of the Berlin Wall and the implosion of the Soviet Union; suddenly,

unpredictability became a universal theme and foresight was critical.

For the past decade, Burrows has overseen the creation of the Global

Trends report—the key futurist guide for the White House, Departments

of State and Defense, and Homeland Security. Global Trends has a

history of making bold predictions and being right:

• In 2004, it argued that al-Qaeda’s centralized operations would

dissolve and be replaced by groups, cells, and individuals—the

very model of the 2012 Boston bombings.

• In 2008, it included a scenario dubbed October Surprise, imagining

a devastating late-season hurricane hitting an unprepared New

York City.

Now, Burrows—for the first time—has expanded the most recent Global

Trends report into a full-length narrative, forecasting the tectonic shifts

that will drive us to 2030. A staggering amount of wholesale change

is happening—from unprecedented and widespread aging to rampant

urbanization and growth in a global middle class to an eastward shift

in economic power and a growing number of disruptive technologies.

Even our physical geography is changing as sea levels rise and faster

commercial shipping routes open up through a warming Arctic region.

The book concludes with its most provocative section: four fictional

paths to 2030 with imagined storylines and characters based on analysis

by the most authoritative figures in the intelligence community. As

Burrows argues, we are living through some of the greatest and most

momentous developments in history. Either we take charge and direct

those or we are at their mercy. The stakes are particularly high for

America’s standing in the world and for ordinary Americans who want

to maintain their quality of life. Running the gamut from scary to

reassuring, this riveting book is essential reading.

Mathew Burrows is the director

of the Atlantic Council’s Strategic

Foresight Initiative. He has served as

the National Intelligence Council’s

counselor and director of analysis and

production for the last decade. He

served as the intelligence advisor to

Richard Holbrooke when he was the US

Ambassador to the UN. After 9/11, he

became deputy national security advisor

to US Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill.

He lives in Washington, DC.

MarketingNow that the Arab-Israeli conflict is fueled by

Muslim hatred of the Jews, what started as a

political dispute has transformed into an out-and-

out religious war

For more than a century, much of the attention given to the Middle East

has focused on the Arab-Israeli conflict. The rise of a Palestinian offshoot

of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Resistance Movement, or

Hamas, transformed the nature of the conflict between Israel and the

Palestinians. The dispute, in the view of Hamas, is not over a division of

Palestine, but rather about Jews ruling over Muslims and the presence of

Jews on Islamic land. However, this Islamic-Jewish conflict is not simply

confined to the Middle East. Muslim terrorist attacks have been directed at

Jews all around the world, from Europe to Asia to Latin America. Radical

Muslims in European countries are becoming more brazen, particularly in

France, where the Muslims constitute nearly ten percent of the population.

In just the last year, there have been several Muslim attacks on Jews

throughout France. Death to the Infidels documents the growth of radical

Islam in the Middle East and how it has transformed what had primarily

been a political conflict into a one-sided religious war limiting the prospect

for peace, particularly in Israel.

A fast-paced military history of the Revolutionary

War focusing on the lesser known founding

generals who helped win the war

Praise for Gunpowder:

“Brilliantly succinct and excruciatingly powerful.” —The Baltimore Sun

Band of Giants brings to life the founders who fought for our independence.

Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin are known to all; men like Morgan, Greene,

and Wayne are less familiar. Yet the dreams of the politicians and theorists

only became real because fighting men were willing to take on the grim,

risky, brutal work of war. We know Fort Knox, but what about Henry

Knox, the burly Boston bookseller who took over the American artillery

at the age of 25? Eighteen counties in the United States commemorate

Richard Montgomery, but do we know that this revered martyr launched

a full-scale invasion of Canada? The soldiers of the Revolution were a

diverse lot: merchants and mechanics, farmers and fishermen, paragons

and drunkards. Most were ardent amateurs. Even George Washington,

assigned to take over the army around Boston in 1775, consulted books

on military tactics. Band of Giants vividly captures the fraught condition of

the war—the bitterly divided populace, the lack of supplies, the repeated

setbacks on the battlefield, and the appalling physical hardships. That these

inexperienced warriors could take on and defeat the superpower of the day

was one of the remarkable feats in world history.

MarketingIn these lectures, delivered in 1980, Foucault gives

a new inflection to his history of regimes of truth,

turning his attention to actions of manifesting

the truth in the domain of spiritual and ethical

techniques of the self

Why and how, Foucault asks, does the exercise of power as government

demand not only acts of obedience and submission, but 'truth acts' in

which individuals subject to relations of power are also required to be

subjects in procedures of truth-telling? How and why are subjects required

not just to tell the truth, but to tell the truth about themselves? These

questions lead to a re-reading of Sophocles' Oedipus the King and, through

an examination of the texts of Tertullian, Cassian, and others, to an

analysis of the 'truth acts' in early Christian practices of baptism, penance,

and spiritual direction.

Michel Foucault, acknowledged as the pre-eminent philosopher of France in the

1970s and 1980s, continues to have enormous impact throughout the world in

many disciplines.

"A provocative view of the future of the internet."

—Kirkus Review"A fascinating book with important ideas." —Booklist

“Brain scientist Jeff Stibel uses a wide ranging set of fascinating examples to answer why the web will implode and search will be obsolete drawing on parallels of the architecture of our brains. As an entrepreneur providing Brain Machine Interfaces, he draws on the massive architectural structure of cutter ants, how the Easter Island thriving community collapsed through overconsumption, and why Marissa Mayer joined startup Google and most recently became CEO at declining Yahoo.” —Gordon Bell, Researcher Emeritus, Microsoft

What can the human brain and its relationship to the Internet tell us

about our society, our technologies, and our businesses? A lot, as it turns

out. The Internet today is a virtual replica of the brain, and the networks

that leverage it grow and collapse in ways that are easily predictable if you

understand the brain and other biological networks. Navigating the world

of new technologies today can be like walking through a minefield unless

you know the path. Imagine what you could do with a roadmap for where

things are headed. In this fascinating look at the future of business and

technology, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Jeff Stibel shows how the

brain can act as a guide to understanding the future of the Internet and the

constellation of businesses and technologies that run on it.

Jeff Stibel is a neuroscientist and entrepreneur. He is currently serving as chairman

and CEO of The Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corporation and was previously

president and CEO of Web.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWWW). Stibel is also chairman of

BrainGate, a company whose “brain chip” technology allows the severely disabled to

control electronics with nothing but their thoughts, and was featured on 60 Minutes.

On the eve of the opening of One WTC, a

revealing look at the heated politics behind the

long struggle to rebuild at Ground Zero

"A valuable and highly accessible primer for everyone who wants to better understand how government works and why it does not.” —The New York Times

"A must-read study of the power of democracy and shared memory to shape our public spaces." —Kirkus (Starred Review)

In the aftermath of 9/11, Americans came together in a way not seen for

a generation, pledging unity to rebuild after the horrific loss of the Twin

Towers. People were signing up to go to war; rescue workers were laboring

to clear rubble. But instead of becoming a rallying symbol in the fight against

terrorism, Ground Zero has been plagued by intense conflict and controversy

from the very start. Battle for Ground Zero goes behind the scenes of this fight to

rebuild, revealing how grieving families, commercial interests, and politicking

bureaucrats clashed at every step of the way, confounding progress and

infuriating the public. Since the fall of 2001, author Elizabeth Greenspan has

been documenting the drama—conducting interviews with neighborhood

residents, architects, officials, rescue workers, and victims’ relatives, as well

as key New York players like uber-developer Larry Silverstein, and Governor

Pataki. Here she provides a warts-and-all look at this pivotal decade—from

the bitter feuding between city officials and victims’ families, to the endless

controversy over the memorial design, to the fraught tenth anniversary, against

a long-delayed opening. Battle for Ground Zero is an exhaustively researched

reminder of how long it took to put a brave face on the horror of 9/11.

Elizabeth Greenspan is a writer and urban anthropologist currently teaching at Harvard University. She writes regularly about Ground Zero for The Atlantic online. Her writing has also appeared in The Washington Post and The Harvard Review, among other publications, and she has worked for the Associated Press Rome Bureau, and National Journal magazine. She lives in Cambridge, MA.

"Horrifying and painstakingly documented history

. . . [of] the chilling legacy of negative eugenics."

—Publishers Weekly

“The authors do a terrific job of striking the right balance in detailing one of the darkest chapters in modern American medicine.” —The Boston Globe

During the Cold War, an alliance between American scientists,

pharmaceutical companies, and the US military pushed the medical

establishment into ethically fraught territory. Against Their Will reveals the

little-known history of unethical and dangerous medical experimentation

on children in the United States. Through rare interviews and the personal

correspondence of renowned medical investigators, the authors document

how children from infants to teenagers, became human research subjects in

terrifying experiments. They were drafted as "volunteers" to test vaccines,

doused with ringworm, subjected to electric shock, given lobotomies, and

exposed to chemical warfare agents. This groundbreaking book shows how

institutional superintendents influenced by eugenics often turned these

children over to scientific researchers without a second thought. Based on

years of archival research, this is an important and disturbing look at the

dark underbelly of American medical history.

A compelling look at the important role that dogs have played in America’s

most recent military conflicts, replete with the touching stories of individual

dogs and their handlers/soldiers

October 15

“This is a lovely book but it’s also a surprising book. I opened it looking forward to reading a few good stories about the use of dogs in war. But midway through it, the realization hit me that this is something larger than that, and far deeper: it is a meditation on war and humans. It illuminates conflict from the unexpected angle of the allure of war, and the damage it does to both species.” —Thomas E. Ricks, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist

Under the cover of night, deep in the desert of Afghanistan, a US

Army handler led a Special Forces patrol with his military working

dog. Without warning an insurgent popped up, his weapon raised. At

the handler’s command, the dog charged their attacker. There was the

flash of steel, the blur of fur, and the sound of a single shot; the handler

watched his dog take a bullet. During the weeks it would take the dog

to heal, the handler never left its side. The dog had saved his life. Loyal

and courageous, dogs are truly man’s best friend on the battlefield.

While the soldiers may not always feel comfortable calling the bond

they form love, the emotions involved are strong and complicated.

In War Dogs, Rebecca Frankel offers a riveting mix of on-the-ground

reporting, her own hands-on experiences in the military working dog

world, and a look at the science of dogs’ special abilities—from their

amazing noses and powerful jaws to their enormous sensitivity to the

emotions of their human companions. The history of dogs in the US

military is long and rich, from the spirit-lifting mascots of the Civil

War to the dogs still leading patrols hunting for IEDs today. Frankel

not only interviewed handlers who deployed with dogs in wars from

Vietnam to Iraq, but top military commanders, K-9 program managers,

combat-trained therapists who brought dogs into war zones as part of

a preemptive measure to stave off PTSD, and veterinary technicians

stationed in Bagram. She makes a passionate case for maintaining a

robust war-dog force. In a post-9/11 world rife with terrorist threats,

nothing is more effective than a bomb-sniffing dog and his handler.

With a compelling cast of humans and animals, this moving book is a

must read for all dog lovers—military and otherwise.

A New York Times bestselling author explains

why risk-taking is critical to success, for

established businesses and start-ups alike

Our most revered business icons of the last few decades are the bold risk-

takers, such as Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Steve Jobs. Yet in today’s

stock market-driven economy, companies are playing it safe, with too many

leaders focused on short-term gains, rather than value creation. The result is

a static business culture that generates forgettable results—even as the world

demands big solutions. So how do we get back in the risk-taking game? In All

In, Deborah Perry Piscione takes the most comprehensive look at this crucial,

undervalued leadership behavior, and outlines how companies must support

risk-taking across the enterprise. Exploring the heroes of risk, including

entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and technologists, and the role risk-taking

and failure tolerance play in their success, she makes a compelling case not

only for big, flashy mergers or acquisitions, but also for unorthodox choices

in everything from leadership to corporate social responsibility. Drawing

on case studies from a wide range of now-famous giants (Amazon, Netflix)

and successful start-ups (Tesla, Box), she distills lessons for both new

entrepreneurs and established companies whose longtime risk aversion has

cost them more than they realize.

A compelling look at our sixth president, the first

biography to look closely at JQ’s international life

and at his complicated and troubled marriage

Praise for Phyllis Lee Levin's books:

“Compelling . . . a close and believable portrait." —The Washington Post

“Brilliantly written, scrupulously researched." —Errol Morris, The New York Times

A patriot by birth, John Quincy Adams’s destiny was foreordained. He was

not only “The Greatest Traveler of His Age,” but his country’s most gifted

linguist and most experienced diplomat. John Quincy’s world encompassed

the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the early and late

Napoleonic Age. As his diplomat father’s adolescent clerk and secretary,

he met everyone who was anyone in Europe, including America’s own

luminaries Franklin and Jefferson. All this made coming back to America

a great challenge. But though he was determined to make his own career

he was soon embarked, at Washington’s appointment, on his phenomenal

work aboard, as well as on a deeply troubled though loving and enduring

marriage. But through all the emotional turmoil, he dedicated his life to

serving his country. At 50, he returned to America to serve as Secretary of

State to President Monroe. He was inaugurated President in 1824, after

which he served as a stirring defender of the slaves of the Amistad rebellion

and as a member of the House of Representatives from 1831 until his death

in 1848. Deeply researched and beautifully written, this is the definitive

biography of one of the most fascinating and towering early Americans.

Phyllis Lee Levin is the author of several books including Abigail Adams and Edith

and Woodrow. She has been a reporter, editor, and columnist for The New York Times

and lives in Manhattan.

MarketingA motivating book to inspire Millennials to invest

now for their future

Fact: the Millennial Generation will not be able to rely on pensions

and social security in retirement. Instead, they will have to save and

invest in the global stock market to meet their goals. When it comes to

thinking about money, Millennials are, as a generation, different from

their parents. They are skeptical of expert advice, yet more committed

than baby boomers to passing wealth on to future generations. To build

wealth, young people must start investing early and buck conventional

market wisdom. Millennial Money will explain the most common mistakes

that hurt investors’ long-term returns and show why their investments

in popular stocks or the hottest industry of the day have resulted in such

underwhelming results. More importantly, the book will introduce a

strategy that can help us overcome our shortcomings as investors. Armed

with this strategy, Millennials can become the most successful investing

generation in history.

An insider’s account of the dirty dealings,

backroom donations, and mega-wealthy donors

that turned political campaigns into money

races—from the notorious political fundraiser

In 1992, when Bill Clinton defeated George H.W. Bush, political fundraising

was considered an afterthought. Their campaigns spent $192 million—

combined! In contrast, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney spent over $7

billion to beat one another in 2012—36 times more than that spent just 20

years before. How is it that politics has become so focused on the almighty

dollar and the cost of political campaigns so expensive? Lindsay Mark Lewis

is arguably the person best able to answer those questions—the notorious

political fundraiser renowned for his willingness to do almost anything

to get the next political dollar in the war chest. He was part of the new

political mob responsible for the excessive influence of money on campaigns.

Co-authored with writer and political analyst Jim Arkedis, Political Mercenaries

is a fascinating look into how American politics, to contradict former Speaker

Tip O'Neill, is now all national money. This book emerges at a time when

millions of Americans are more skeptical than ever about politicians on both

sides of the aisle and how they obtain the money that funds their campaigns.

Lindsay Mark Lewis is the executive director of the Progressive Policy Institute,

a center-left think tank in Washington, DC. His thoughts on money in politics have

appeared in The New York Times, Daily Beast, and Politico. He has raised over $150

million for the Democratic party, its candidates, and its causes.

Jim Arkedis is a writer, political analyst, and consultant based in Washington, DC.

Times, among others.

A fresh exploration of the scientific pursuits of

the Founding Fathers that reveals their science as

critical to the great political "experiment” of the day

Science and experimentation were at the heart of the Founding Fathers’

philosophies and actions. The Founders relentlessly tinkered, invented,

farmed by means of scientific principles, star-gazed, were fascinated by

math, used scientific analogies and scientific thinking in their political

writing, and fell in love with technologies. They conceived of the United

States of America as a grand “experiment” in the scientific meaning of the

word. George Washington’s embrace of an experimental vaccination for

smallpox saved the American army in 1777. He was also considered the

most scientific farmer in the country. John Adams founded a scientific

society and wrote public support of science into the Massachusetts

constitution. The president of another scientific society, Thomas Jefferson,

convinced its leading lights to train Meriwether Lewis for the Lewis and

Clark expedition; his Declaration of Independence was so suffused with

scientific thinking that it was called Newtonian. Benjamin Franklin’s fame

as an “electrician” gave him the status to persuade France to help America

win the Revolutionary War. Thomas Paine invented smokeless candles,

underwater bombs, and the first-ever iron span bridge. This is the full story

of how the intellectual excitement of scientific discoveries had a powerful

influence on America’s Founding Fathers.

MarketingHow our fascination with great presidents

undermines our search for good ones

Praise for The Much Too Promised Land:

"A revealing and well-written memoir . . . Miller fills his pages with real characters and sly observations . . . [and] sobering tales from the front." —The New York Times

There is one thing that has haunted all of America's modern presidents:

Americans’ expectations of greatness in the man and the office. While it was

impossible for the Framers of the Constitution to predict the circumstances that

would make America the greatest and most consequential power on Earth, the

Founders never intended this spotlight on the presidency. Venerating our past

great presidents has always been safe, compelling, and inspiring. But when it

also tempts us with the possibilities of their return, it may not be so benign.

The End of Greatness offers a new way to appreciate and evaluate the presidency,

a mode of understanding that gives conventional achievement ratings their

place but ultimately makes the counterintuitive argument that, in expecting

greatness, we have made goodness simply impossible. This book looks at the

concept of greatness in presidents—the ways in which it is essential to a nation

and the ways in which it has been detrimental. Miller argues that greatness

in presidents is an overrated virtue, one that eclipses—and perhaps even

thwarts—the real contributions of our presidents.

Aaron David Miller is vice president for New Initiatives and a distinguished

scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. For two decades,

he served as an adviser to Republican and Democratic Secretaries of State, helping

formulate US policy on the Middle East and the Arab-Israeli peace process. His pieces

on the presidency have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico,

and Foreign Policy, and he appears regularly on CNN, CNN International, NPR,

Fox, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and The Lehrer NewsHour, as well as BBC and Canadian

Broadcasting.

"Engrossing . . . Chesler adroitly blends her

personal narrative with a riveting account of

Afghanistan's troubled history . . . and the

continuing struggle and courage of Afghan

feminists." —Publishers Weekly

Few westerners will ever be able to understand Muslim or Afghan society

unless they are part of a Muslim family. Twenty years old and in love,

Phyllis Chesler, a Jewish-American girl from Brooklyn, embarked on an

adventure that has lasted for more than a half-century. In 1961, when

she arrived in Kabul with her Afghan bridegroom, authorities took away

her American passport. Chesler was now the property of her husband’s

family and had no rights of citizenship. Back in Afghanistan, her husband,

a wealthy, westernized foreign college student with dreams of reforming his

country, reverted to traditional and tribal customs. Chesler found herself

unexpectedly trapped in a posh polygamous family. She fought against her

seclusion and lack of freedom, her Afghan family’s attempts to convert her

from Judaism to Islam, and her husband’s wish to permanently tie her to

the country through childbirth. Drawing upon her personal diaries, Chesler

recounts her ordeal, the nature of gender apartheid—and her longing to

explore this beautiful, ancient, and exotic country and culture. An American

Bride in Kabul re-creates a time gone by, a place that is no more, and shares

the way in which Chesler turned adversity into a passion for world-wide

social, educational, and political reform.

Phyllis Chesler is an emerita professor of Psychology and Women's Studies at

City University of New York, bestselling author, legendary feminist leader, and

psychotherapist. Dr. Chesler has appeared on CNN, Fox News, The O’Reilly Factor,

The Today Show, Oprah, and multiple NPR programs, including NPR’s At the Opera.

The inside story of one of the biggest police cover-ups in history, and its implications for a system now used across the country for tracking

crime and accountability

"One of the most gripping things we've ever put on 'This American Life' . . . reveals the full extent that officials were willing to go in their cover-up.” —Ira Glass, host of NPR's This American Life

In May 2010, NYPD officer Adrian Schoolcraft made national headlines

when he released a series of secretly recorded audio tapes exposing

corruption and abuse at the highest levels of the police department. But,

according to a lawsuit filed by Schoolcraft against the City of New York,

instead of admitting mistakes and pledging reform Schoolcraft’s superiors

forced him into a mental hospital in an effort to discredit the evidence. In

The NYPD Tapes, the reporter who first broke the Schoolcraft story brings

his ongoing saga up to date, revealing the rampant abuses that continue in

the NYPD today, including warrantless surveillance, systemic harassment,

and underreporting of serious crimes like rape and murder. Through this

lens, he tells the broader tale of how American law enforcement has for the

past 30 years been distorted by a ruthless quest for numbers, in the form of

CompStat, the vaunted data-driven accountability system first championed

by New York police chief William Bratton and since implemented in police

departments across the country. Forced to produce certain crime stats each

quarter or face discipline, cops everywhere fudged the numbers, robbing

actual crime victims of justice and sweeping countless innocents into the

police net. Rayman paints a terrifying picture of a system gone wild, and

the pitiless fate of the whistleblower who tried to stop it.

Graham A. Rayman is a writer for The Village Voice who has covered the New York City Police Department for 17 years. His NYPD Tapes series has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, the Polk Award, the Harvard Goldsmith award, and a half-

dozen other prizes. He lives in New York City.

The White Nile Diaries

John Hopkins

After receiving a mysterious letter from Kenya,

two young graduates leave behind their lives in

the States to travel across Africa

"Where was it taking us? In or out of society? I had no fixed address

now, didn't want one, didn't need one." It all began at the Oyster Bar

in Grand Central Station, New York, in 1961. Two Princeton graduates,

John Hopkins and Joe McPhillips, have returned from Peru, where

they dreamed of buying a coffee plantation in the jungle. Not ready to

return to a life of work, marriage, and mortgages, they are tempted by a

mysterious letter from Kenya. Hatching a plan to ride a motorbike across

North Africa, they buy a sleek, white R50 BMW and paint her name—’The

White Nile'—on the fuel tank, in honor of the route they plan to follow.

In clear, elegant prose, Hopkins describes deadly salt deserts and fig-laden

oases, disappeared travelers and the funerals of young Tunisians killed in

the battle for independence. He conjures up the ghosts of ancient Rome in

Leptis Magna and of Homer's Lotus Eaters in Djerba. They encounter armed

vigilantes in the Tunisian desert and outrun Libyan border patrols, barely

escaping with their lives. They climb the pyramids of Giza at dawn and ride

the 'Desert Express' across the wastelands of the Nubian Desert, but their

final adventure, at Sam Small's Impala Ranch, is perhaps the most surreal

of all. Impossibly charismatic, The White Nile Diaries is an incomparable

coming-of-age journey, a tantalizing glimpse into another time, when the

turbulent world was an oyster for the young, brave, and free.

John Hopkins is a writer who lived for many years in Tangier and was a central

figure in the bohemian literary crowd of the 1960s and 1970s. He lives in Oxford, UK.

timeless principles for customer engagement

Praise for What Chinese Want:

"A no-nonsense book by an enlightened capitalist." —Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Billions:

"Sheds much-needed light on the differences between Chinese and Western cultural preferences." —The Wall Street Journal

In a cultural climate saturated by technology, marketing professionals

have focused their energies on creating newer and more digital methods

of advertising their brands, with the fear that if they don’t embrace “Big

Data,” they will fade into obscurity. But Tom Doctoroff, Asia CEO for J.

Walter Thompson, argues that this frenzy over digital media has created

a schism in the marketing world that is hindering brands from attaining

their true business potential. The tension between traditional branding

and the seemingly unlimited possibilities presented by the advent of

“digital” branding leads companies to abandon the tried and true aspects of

marketing for the flash of the new. In this informative new book, Doctoroff

explains why a strategy that truly integrates the two ideas is the best way

for a brand to move into the future. Using some of the biggest brand names

in the world as examples, such as Coca-Cola, Nike, and Apple, he breaks

down the framework of marketing to explain how digital marketing can’t

stand without the traditional foundation.

Tom Doctoroff is Asia CEO for J. Walter Thompson, and the author of Billions

Judicial activism v. judicial restraint—the fight for

power in the Supreme Court

Can the federal government make you eat your fruits and vegetables?

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan seemed to think so when asked if

she thought Congress possessed the constitutional power to force every

American to “eat three fruits and three vegetables every day.” Kagan

laughed and said that while it sounded like “a dumb law,” that did not

make it an unconstitutional one. In other words, if you don’t like what

your lawmakers have done, take your complaint to the ballot box, not

to the courthouse. It was a classic case of judicial restraint, the idea that

judges should defer to the will of the majority and refrain from striking

down most democratically-enacted laws, even the really dumb ones.

Judicial restraint and judicial activism cut across the political spectrum in

surprising ways and make for some unusual bedfellows. Judicial restraint is

not only a touchstone of the Progressive left, it is also a philosophy adopted

by many members of the modern right. The growing camp of libertarians

and free-market conservatives, however, has no patience with judicial

restraint and little use for majority rule. Chief Justice Roberts’ 2012 ruling

in favor of Obama’s health care law is an excellent case in point, though

only the most recent. This is the story of two competing visions, each one

with its own take on what role the government and the courts should play

in our society, a fundamental debate that goes to the very heart of our

constitutional system.

Damon Root is senior editor at Reason magazine and Reason.com, the website of

Reason magazine. In 2012 he spearheaded Reason’s multi-platform coverage of the

legal challenge to President Obama’s health care law. He has been featured on the

Fox Business Channel, Sirius Satellite Radio, the 92nd Street Y’s “Campaign for the

American Conversation,” and numerous radio stations around the country.

MarketingThe senior editor for Fortune India explains how

the world’s largest democracy is at risk of falling

apart and what's holding it together

Twenty years after India opened its economy, it faces severe economic

problems, including staggering income inequality. A third of its citizens still

lack adequate food, education, and basic medical services, while Mumbai

businessman Mukesh Ambani lives in the most expensive home in the

world, which cost over a billion dollars to build. Despite the fact that India

now has a Mars mission, there are still more mobile phones than toilets in

the country. In most places, such a disparity would have the locals pounding

at the gates. So why no Arab Spring for India? Hindol Sengupta, senior editor

of Fortune India, argues that the only thing holding it back is the explosion

of local entrepreneurship across the country. While these operations are a

far cry from the giant companies owned by India’s ruling billionaires, they

are drastically changing its politics, upending the old caste system, and

creating a “middle India” full of unprecedented opportunity. Like Gazalla

Amin whose flourishing horticulture business in the heart of Kashmir has

given her the title 'lavender queen.' Or Sunil Zode, who stole the first shoes

he ever wore and now drives a Mercedes, thanks to his thriving pesticide

business. Sengupta shows that the true potential of India is even larger than

the world perceives, since the economic miracle unfolding in its small towns

and villages is not reflected in its stock markets. He reveals an India rarely

seen by the larger world—the millions of ordinary, enterprising people who

are redefining the world’s largest democracy.

Hindol Sengupta is the senior editor for the Indian edition of Fortune magazine and the founder of India’s only open-government nonprofit, the Whypoll Trust. He has worked as a political interviewer on Bloomberg TV and as an anchor and reporter with the Indian editions of CNBC and CNN. He is the author of The Liberals, which won praise from globally renowned economists and public policy experts. The online ideas platform IdeaMensch included him on its list of 33 global social entrepreneurs who make the world a better place.

MarketingAn expert on Tibet chronicles the ruthless Chinese

push to strip this fragile environment of its natural

resources, endangering the water supply of much

of Asia

Tibetans have experienced waves of genocide since the 1950s. Now they

are facing ecocide. The Himalayan snowcaps are in meltdown mode, due to

climate change—accelerated by a rain of black soot from massive burning of

coal and other fuels in both China and India. The mighty rivers of Tibet are

being dammed by Chinese engineering consortiums to feed the mainland’s

thirst for power, and the land is being relentlessly mined in search of

minerals to feed China’s industrial complex. On the drawing board are

plans for a massive engineering project to divert water from Eastern Tibet to

water-starved Northern China. Ruthless Chinese repression leaves Tibetans

powerless to stop the reckless destruction of their sacred land, but they are

not the only victims of this campaign: the nations downstream from Tibet

rely heavily on rivers sourced in Tibet for water supply, and for rich silt used

in agriculture. This ecocide has been happening with little scrutiny until

now. Meltdown in Tibet turns the spotlight on the darkest side of China's

emergence as a global super power.

Michael Buckley is an award-winning Canadian journalist who, amongst other things, wrote Lonely Planet’s first guidebook to Tibet (the first guidebook ever to Tibet) in 1986. A freelance travel writer and photographer, he has traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, and the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges. He has made two short documentaries about major environmental issues in Tibet

entrepreneurial shift going on in Dubai, Egypt,

Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and other

regions . . . illuminating." —Publishers Weekly

"Provides a refreshing break from the hackneyed analyses of the region that reduce its people to cultural cliches while ignoring the other things that motivate young Arabs (like people everywhere...)." —Financial Times

Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, shockingly little has changed

politically in the Middle East; even frontliners Egypt and Tunisia continue to

suffer repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria descends into civil

war. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has begun to emerge, one that

might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: entrepreneurship. As

a seasoned angel investor in emerging markets, Christopher Schroeder

was curious but skeptical about the future of investing in the Arab world.

Traveling to Dubai, Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Istanbul, and even Damascus, he

saw thousands of talented, successful, and intrepid entrepreneurs, all willing

to face cultural, legal, and societal impediments inherent to their worlds.

Equally important, he saw major private equity firms, venture capitalists, and

tech companies like Google, Intel, Cisco, Yahoo, and LivingSocial making

significant bets, despite the uncertainty in the region. Here, he marries his

own observations with the predictions of these tech giants to offer a surprising

and timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East—one that

promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and progress.

Christopher Schroeder is an entrepreneur and angel investor. In 2010, he wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post about the start-ups in Dubai, and was subsequently invited by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to judge a start-up competition in Cairo one week before Tahrir Square. He is on the boards of advisors of the American University of Cairo School of Business and regional start-up resources Wamda and Oasis500. He lives in Washington, DC.

“There is much to fascinate in this nippy primer

on the biology and behaviour associated with

snoozing . . . from the latest on narcolepsy to the

sleep-inhibiting qualities of smoked meat, this is

wide-awake science.” —Nature

In recent years, neuroscientists have uncovered the countless ways our

brain trips us up in day-to-day life, from its propensity toward irrational

thought to how our intuitions deceive us. The latest research on sleep,

however, points in the opposite direction. Where old wives tales have long

advised to "sleep on a problem," today scientists are discovering the truth

behind these folk sayings, and how the busy brain radically improves our

minds through sleep and dreams. In The Secret World of Sleep, neuroscientist

Penny Lewis explores the latest research into the nighttime brain to

understand the real benefits of sleep. She shows how, while our body

rests, the brain practices tasks it learned during the day, replays traumatic

events to mollify them, and forges connections between distant concepts.

By understanding the roles that the nocturnal brain plays in our waking

life, we can improve the relationship between the two, and even boost

creativity and become smarter. This is a fascinating exploration of one of

the most surprising corners of neuroscience that shows how science may be

able to harness the power of sleep to improve learning, health, and more.

Penelope A. Lewis is a neuroscientist at the University of Manchester, where

she runs the Sleep and Memory Lab. She has written for a number of popular

science publications, including New Scientist and was interviewed on NPR's "Fresh

Air." Her research has been featured on the BBC, and she's received funding from

top institutes, including the Wellcome Trust and Unilever. She lives in Manchester,

United Kingdom.

A unique guide to the varied inspirations behind

Tolkien’s life and work, shedding new light on

how a legend is born

"Mark Atherton provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the many origins, influences and inpirations—biographical, historical, geographical and literary—that combined with a unique imagination resulted in the crafting of a new mythology." —Brian Sibley, author of The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy and of Peter Jackson: A Film-Maker's Journey

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." The

prophetic words of Galadriel, addressed to Frodo as he prepared to travel

from Lothlórien to Mordor to destroy the One Ring, are just as pertinent to

J.R.R. Tolkien’s own fiction. For decades, hobbits and the other fantastical

creatures of Middle-earth have captured the imaginations of a fiercely loyal

tribe of readers, all enhanced by the immense success of Peter Jackson’s

films: first The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now his newest movie, The

Hobbit. But for all Tolkien’s global fame and the familiarity of modern

culture with Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam, the sources of the great

mythmaker’s own myth-making have been neglected.

Mark Atherton here explores the chief influences on Tolkien’s work:

his boyhood in the West Midlands; the landscapes and seascapes which

shaped his mythologies; his experiences in World War I; his interest in

Scandinavian myth; his friendships, especially with the other Oxford-based

Inklings; and the relevance of his themes, especially ecological ones, to the

present day.

Mark Atherton is lecturer in English Language and Literature at the University of

Oxford. He is the author of Teach Yourself Old English/Anglo Saxon and contributed to

A Companion to J.R.R. Tolkien.

A witty and tantalizing account encompassing

Stark’s many encounters during her travels

“Readers of Stark's reissued works . . . will find a writer who endows everyone in her field of vision with the heightened interest that she felt herself.” —The New Yorker

With such tantalizing chapters as "In Defence of Smuggling" and "Lunch

with Homer," this is a witty, eye-opening tapestry of Freya Stark's writings

on travel and a life spent as one of the twentieth century's most formidable

adventurers. In chronological order, spanning an extraordinary 50 years

from 1919 to 1967, Stark muses on the nature of travel and of being a

woman—both writer and explorer—in what was then predominantly a

male world. She also shares jewel-bright stories from across the world—

Arabia to North Africa, Iran and India—that captivate the reader with

every sentence. There are romantic picnics under starlit skies on remote

islands, meaningful moments of quiet in Mecca and Jerusalem and

heartfelt accounts of encounters with a kaleidoscope of people. The Zodiac

Arch resurrects lost worlds, reveals a little of the woman behind the legend

and is, at heart, a magnetic read for all those under the spell of wanderlust.

Freya Stark (1893-1993), "the poet of travel," was the doyenne of Middle

East writers and one of the most courageous and adventurous female travelers

in history. She explored Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Southern

Arabia, where she became the first Western woman to journey through the

Hadhramaut. Usually solo, she ventured to places few Europeans had ever been.

She received the title of Dame and her many, now classic, books include Travels

in the Near East, A Winter in Arabia, The Southern Gates of Arabia, Alexander's Path,

Dust in the Lion's Paw, East is West, and Valleys of the Assassins.

MarketingAn unlikely new alliance is fighting for rational,

progressive public policy in America—to reverse the

damage inflicted by decades of the religious right

“I expect Secular Americans who read this book will feel more motivated to seek the visibility and respect they so richly deserve.” —Herb Silverman, president of the Secular Coalition for America

The political scene is changing rapidly in America. The religious right is

on the defensive, acceptance of gay rights is at an all-time high, social

conservatives are struggling for relevance, and more Americans than

ever identify as nonreligious. What does this mean for the country and

the future? With these demographic shifts, can truly progressive, reason-

based public policy finally gain traction? Or will America continue to carry

a reputation as anti-intellectual and plutocratic, eager to cater to large

corporate interests but reluctant to provide universal health care to all its

citizens? Fighting Back the Right reveals a new alliance in the making—a

coalition of liberal believers and nonbelievers—committed to fighting for

rational, progressive public policy in America and reversing the damage

inflicted by decades of conservative dominance. David Niose, president

of the Secular Coalition for America (SCA), examines this exciting new

dynamic, covering not only the rapidly evolving culture wars but also the

twists and turns of American history and politics that led to this point, and

why this new alliance could potentially move the country in a direction of

sanity, fairness, and human-centered public policy.

David Niose is president of the Secular Coalition for America (SCA), the former

president of the American Humanist Association (AHA), and an attorney who has

litigated on behalf of secular groups and individuals in church-state and equal rights

matters. Niose is the author of the popular Psychology Today blog "Our Humanity,

Naturally." He has been featured on Fox News, MSNBC, the Associated Press, The National

MarketingA fascinating look at how the once struggling Best

Buy turned around their business, while showing

others how they can too

Rebuilding Empires examines, through retail giants Best Buy and Target,

how big box chains are constructing a new future by utilizing mobile

devices, social media, and the Internet, the same technologies that once

pushed them to the brink of irrelevance. This book features interviews

with industry leaders and experts, including Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly,

chief financial officer Sharon McCollam, Target chief marketing officer Jeff

Jones, and several other key players in both companies. Bricks and mortar

retailing is not dead, and Best Buy shows others how to capitalize on their

own physical spaces. Lee shows how showrooming is an asset rather than

a liability, how physical space and online space are complementary, and

how others can learn from Best Buy's innovations including the Geek

Squad, stores within stores, and creating non-traditional partnerships. In a

readable narrative format, journalist Thomas Lee explores how the world’s

largest consumer electronics retailer is redefining what it truly means to be

a "Best Buy" in the age of online retailing.

Thomas Lee is the technology editor and columnist at the

San Francisco Chronicle. He previously covered Best Buy and

Target for the Star Tribune in Minneapolis. Lee is the winner

of the 2013 Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Financial

"Should be read, re-read and underlined by

anyone who wants to know what it takes to be

successful in American politics today."

—Rahm Emanuel“A well-detailed guide to the organizational and philosophical workings of one successful political strategy.” —Kirkus Reviews

After Barack Obama's solid win in the 2012 election, it's easy to forget

that there was a time, not long ago, when the Democrats were shut out of

power for over a decade. But Al From remembers. In 1984, he led a small

band of governors, US senators, and members of Congress to organize the

Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). Their mission: to rescue the party

from the political wilderness, redefine its message, and, most importantly,

win presidential elections. In April 1989, From traveled to Little Rock,

Arkansas, to recruit the state’s young governor, Bill Clinton, to be chairman

of the DLC. Here, Al From explores the founding philosophy of the New

Democrats, which not only achieved stunning validation during Clinton's

two terms, but also became the model for resurgent center-left parties in

Europe and throughout the democratic world. Here, he outlines for the

first time the principles at the heart of the movement, including economic

centrism, national security, and entitlement reform, and why they are vital

to the success of the Democratic Party in the years ahead.

Al From is founder of the Democratic Leadership Council. Called a “legislative

genius” by Washingtonian Magazine, From played a prominent role in the 1992

election of President Bill Clinton and served as Domestic Policy Advisor to the

Clinton transition. Before founding the DLC in 1985, From was executive director of

the House Democratic Caucus, served in President Jimmy Carter’s White House, and

was staff director of the US Senate Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations.

An inside look at the new leaders of the Chinese

Communist Party, and why the country's continued

prosperity will keep them in power for years to come

“Even readers who have never wondered about life in the CCP will find the book insightful and informative.” —Publishers Weekly

"Fascinating glimpses inside the frustrating machinery of power in China." —Kirkus Review

A century after its underground beginnings, the Chinese Communist Party

today exerts far-reaching control over every aspect of private life. Beyond

its legendary control of the Internet within China's borders, even seemingly

non-political domains are subject to its authority: routine business deals

require party approval; university courses reflect party doctrine; and party

families amass incredible wealth while other enterprises are squeezed out.

Experts predicted that the Party leadership would mellow as the country’s

economic fortunes soar, but the next generation of political heavyweights

is keeping a tight grip on the reigns of power. Today's huge new class of

young professionals, whether they believe in the Party’s ideology or not,

are as focused as ever on strengthening the Party's role and silencing

dissent. In The Party Forever, Rowan Callick goes behind the scenes to reveal

the workings of China’s political elite, introduce us to its future leaders and

explore how prepared it is to meet the challenges of its new role in the

twenty-first century. This is an essential and eye-opening account of this

poorly understood but hugely influential player in world politics.

Rowan Callick is Asia-Pacific editor for The Australian and was previously its

Beijing-based China correspondent. He has also been the China correspondent

(based in Hong Kong) for the Australian Financial Review, a senior writer with Time

magazine, and his work has appeared in Foreign Policy. He lives in Melbourne,

Australia.

Available for the first time in the US, this is the

definitive introduction on one of the greatest

masters of painting

“An affectionate meditation on the mood, the texture and the circumstances of the painter’s life and times.” —The New York Times

“Bailey has woven together a delightful image of Rembrandt’s Amsterdam, of the people he knew, the houses he lived in, the streets he walked. It is an excellent book, easy to read, and filled with fascinating information about Rembrandt and his world.” —The Washington Post

Few who walk past No. 4 Breestraat in Amsterdam would give this

unassuming house a second glance. Yet for 20 years, this was the home

of Rembrandt—one of the greatest painters in history, king of the Dutch

Golden Age of art. This is the story of that house, the world Rembrandt

observed in and around it and the special universe he created in his

studio there. In this unique and imaginative portrait, Anthony Bailey

pieces together the events and circumstances which shaped Rembrandt's

career—from his beginnings in Leiden and early apprenticeship to his

marriage and personal relationships; his restless artistic energy, creative

triumphs, and, finally, his slow fall into financial hardship. With as many

levels and hidden corners as the house Bailey describes, this is at once

biography, travel writing, and history of a golden cultural age.

Anthony Bailey is an art historian, was for many years a

writer for The New Yorker and is the bestselling author of

Standing in the Sun, shortlisted for the James Tair Black

Memorial Prize for biography; Vermeer: A View of Delft, shortlisted

for the Whitbread biography prize; as well as biographies of

Constable and Velzquez.

Featuring tourist hotspots and local favorites, this

is the ultimate guide to London, ideal for new

tourists and returning visitors

The young T.S. Eliot, recently settled in London in 1914, described his

new city to an American cousin: "It is foreign, but hospitable, or rather

tolerant, and perhaps does not so demand to be understood as does Paris.

Less jealous." London’s obliging equanimity in the face of two millennia

of expectant newcomers, pilgrims, and tourists has been a distinguishing

feature of the place since it was founded as a Roman colonial encampment

around 43 AD. It is a huge yet humane city, without the vastly impersonal

skyscraper-canyons of New York or the antique fragility of relic-filled

Rome. It’s an international capital that embraces the individual at eye-

level, welcoming the walker to wander, explore, and join the numberless

millions who have found themselves—in every sense—in this lively,

companionable, and endlessly evolving city. Strolling Through London take

its walking reader across this buzzing metropolis, balancing the expected

tourist highlights with lesser-known corners and byways, and encouraging

the kinds of rewarding experience and discovery that only come from a

true engagement with London’s complex, vibrant history, and spirit.

Aidan Wasley has written for Salon among other journals and magazines. He is

associate professor of English at the University of Georgia, with a focus on modern

English literature and culture.

The classic history of Tangier during its heady

golden era, available in paperback ten years

after its original release

"Finlayson's crisp narrative which bubbles into metaphorical rhapsody. Charming . . . and as elegant a history of the city as you could find anywhere." —Marek Kohn, The Independent

No city in the world has quite the exotic allure of Tangier. From the

seventeenth century, it has been a place on the edge, beyond the normal

disciplines of government, a city of refuge and excitements where sex is

cheap, drugs are plentiful, and the outcasts of the world can breathe easily.

The golden years of Tangier began after World War I and barely survived

World War II. Among those who sought sanctuary in or inspiration from

this legendary city were Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg,

Paul and Jane Bowles, Ronnie Kray, the unhappy Woolworth heiress

Barbara Hutton, Tennessee Williams, Joe Orton, Cecil Beaton, and Truman

Capote. It is this “last resort of the living dead, alive but not madly kicking”

which Iain Finlayson explores in his witty, enthralling book.

Iain Finlayson is books editor of Saga Magazine and reviews books for The Times

as well as writing for Harper’s Bazaar and The Scotsman, among others. He lives in

London.
