Decades of slashing immigration, off-shoring manufacture, preventing house-building and stalling ambitious infrastructure projects like high-speed rail means America has a shortage of workers, houses, innovative products and climate-change solutions. It's a story repeated across the Western World. To progress on the greatest challenges of our time, from housing to climate change, healthcare to infrastructure, progressives need a vision of abundance, and the ability and willingness to enact transformative strategies.

Nada "viraliza". Se você acha que um filme, música ou aplicativo popular apareceu do nada e virou um sucesso no mundo saturado de informações dos dias atuais, você não está prestando atenção. Cada sucesso de bilheteria tem uma história secreta – de poder, influência e cultos apaixonados – que transforma alguns produtos em fenômenos culturais. Até mesmo a mais brilhante das ideias cai no esquecimento se não encontrar sua rede, e os consumidores mais importantes não são os primeiros usuários mas sim seus amigos, seguidores e imitadores – a audiência da sua audiência.

To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don’t have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven’t built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget—if they are ever finished at all.

Many books believe they know how you should live. But each book disagrees with the next. In How to Live, each chapter believes it knows how you should live. And each chapter disagrees with the next.

Overwhelmed? If you feel anything less than “hell yeah!” about something, say no. We say yes too often. By saying no to almost everything, you leave space and time in your life to throw yourself completely into the few things that matter most.

While hiking the trail, Tyler comes across a campsite with a burning campfire and an old Native American Indian sitting by the fire, silent, still, and stoic as he stared deeply into the dancing flames. Curious about the old man, he sits by the campfire and begins to hold conversations with him as if he is drawn by some unseen force. What Tyler experiences shortly after meeting the old man brings him to the brink of utter madness and despair, as he experiences vivid and horrific hallucinations and delusions from the five guardians he meets there in the forest.

Idi Amin ruled Uganda between 1971 and 1979, inflicting tremendous violence on the people of the country. How did Amin's regime survive for eight calamitous years? Drawing on recently uncovered archival material, Derek Peterson reconstructs the political logic of the era, focusing on the ordinary people—civil servants, curators and artists, businesspeople, patriots—who invested their energy and resources in making the government work.

With poetic grit and unfiltered honesty, Fisher chronicles his backbreaking daily grind on the Atlantic Ocean, only to be blindsided by the cold fist of bureaucracy: the ice-hearted Pease Port Authority. Ultimately, his 30 years as a commercial fisherman collapses simply because of a clerical misstep that the Authority, blind to his desperate pleas, refuses to ignore.

In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing. Now, the people who are trying to find out exactly what happened all those years ago are being murdered – there is a killer coming after them, a killer with a plan – and their only hope for survival lies with Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain.

Islam will be the world’s largest religion by 2075. Why? Derek P. Gilbert, author of the groundbreaking books The Great Inception and Last Clash of the Titans, argues that Islam is too big and too successful to be the work of just one spirit. Tracing the pagan religions of the nations around ancient Israel, Gilbert makes the bold claim that the religion of Muhammad is actually a collaboration by the old gods of Mesopotamia, a desperate partnership of fallen angels who were caught off-guard by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
