Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot. Call if what you like, it matters now more than ever. In The Ascent of Money, Niall Ferguson shows that financial history is the back-story to all history.
From the banking dynasty who funded the Italian Renaissance to the stock market bubble that caused the French Revolution, this is the story of booms and busts as it's never been told before.
With the world in the grip of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, there's never been a better time to understand the ascent - and descent - of money.
'Beautifully written ... Breathtakingly clever' Sunday Telegraph
'A lucid and racy account of financial history' New Statesman
'A fine, readable and entertaining history' Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year
'The tales he tells of boom and bust, of triumph and disaster, of bubbles that inflate ... are the very essence of financial history' Bill Emmott, Financial Times
'An often enlightening and enjoyable tour through the underside of great events, a lesson in how the most successful great powers have always been underpinned by smart money' Robert Skidelsky, New York Review of Books

In White Boy Running, Christopher Hope explored how it felt and looked to grow up in a country gripped by an 'absurd, racist insanity'. On a road trip thirty years later, Hope goes in search of today's South Africa; post the evils of apartheid, but also post the dashed hopes and dreams of Mandela, of a future when race and colour would not count. He finds a country still in the grip of a ruling party intent only on caring for itself, to the exclusion of all others; a country where racial divides are deeper than ever. As the old imperial idols of Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger are literally pulled from their pedestals in a mass yearning to destroy the past, Hope ponders the question: what next? Framed as a travelogue, this is a darkly comic, powerful and moving portrait of South Africa - an elegy to a living nation, which is still mad and absurd.

Innovate The Next is the 7th book by author and entrepreneur Tiisetso Maloma.
The core teaching of the book is how one can become an innovator of novel products (physical and virtual) in any industrial revolution.
It is targeted at entrepreneurs, employees and innovation enthusiasts.
To understand and master a thing, one has to understand how it forms, unfolds and evolves.
Chapter One takes to evolutionary biology to form this understanding of innovation evolution (manmade and biological).
After all, biology gave humans the brain they innovate with.
It looks at the factors pre-determining the success or failure of biological and manmade innovations. To achieve this it borrows the ‘Adjacent Possible Theory’ from biology. The theory was devised by theoretical biologist Stuart Alan Kauffman.
To drive this guide methodically, Tiisetso Maloma devised a set of factors entitled ‘Enabling factors for products success with the Adjacent Possible.’
Namely, they are: (a) Behavioural Utility, (b) Innovation (adjacent possible stacking, or stacking for agility), (c) Location Specific Adjacent Possible Advantages, (d) Spaza/Convenience Metrical Interest/Advantage of a Product, (e) Business Model, and (f) Luck.
Their use is to analyse, evaluate and strengthen any product innovation or idea.
Chapter Two connects the success or failure of manmade innovations to evolutionary psychological-inclinations through Tiisetso Maloma’s devised Human Greed Pyramid.
The pyramid illustrates how product success is allowed and or disallowed by human inclinations.
Chapter Three plots how inclinations can be plotted into innovation.
Chapter Four reverse engineers the models illustrated in the book into what skills can one hone to become an innovator of novel products. It draws scenarios for entrepreneurs, employees and innovation aspirants.
Chapter Five connects the models learned throughout the book to understand the current (Fourth) Industrial Revolution and its technologies: robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the Internet of Things, decentralized consensus, 5G, 3D printing and autonomous vehicles.
It sheds light on key innovation concepts such as Moore’s Law, exaptation, and convergence.
It is a chapter on how to see into the future as an innovator.

* Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year * Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize * 800-CEO-READ Business Book of the Year * A New York Times Notable Book * A Washington Post Notable Book * An NPR Best Book of 2017 * A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2017 * An Economist Best Book of 2017 * A Business Insider Best Book of 2017 *“Moving and magnificently well-researched...Janesville joins a growing family of books about the evisceration of the working class in the United States. What sets it apart is the sophistication of its storytelling and analysis.” —The New York TimesA Washington Post reporter’s intimate account of the fallout from the closing of a General Motors’ assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin—Paul Ryan’s hometown—and a larger story of the hollowing of the American middle class.This is the story of what happens to an industrial town in the American heartland when its factory stills—but it’s not the familiar tale. Most observers record the immediate shock of vanished jobs, but few stay around long enough to notice what happens next, when a community with a can-do spirit tries to pick itself up.Pulitzer Prize winner Amy Goldstein has spent years immersed in Janesville, Wisconsin where the nation’s oldest operating General Motors plant shut down in the midst of the Great Recession, two days before Christmas of 2008. Now, with intelligence, sympathy, and insight into what connects and divides people in an era of economic upheaval, she makes one of America’s biggest political issues human. Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of autoworkers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job re-trainers to show why it’s so hard in the twenty-first century to recreate a healthy, prosperous working class.For this is not just a Janesville story or a Midwestern story. It’s an American story.

This unique format brings Sir Isaac Newton, the man who discovered” gravity, to life in vivid form. An intimate look at his writings, correspondence, and life events, the Notebook examines his early life and education, his achievements in mathematics and optics, the publication of the Principia, and the long-term impact of his revolutionary theories.
Illustrated with letters, journals, photographs, and more, Levy's close look into the life of Newton includes his personal relationships, his schooling and work among colleagues, and his lasting legacy to science. Each spread is a self-contained story or anecdote, revealing some specific event in the scientist's life. Newton's Notebook is bound like a personal journal, giving it the custom feel of a personal possession, and better than any biography, reveals the whole scope of Newton's life and times.
