Joan Wickersham
The Suicide Index: Putting My Father`s Death in Order

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When you kill yourself, you kill every memory everyone has of you. You’re saying “I’m gone and you can’t even be sure who it is that’s gone, because you never knew me.” Sixteen years ago, Joan Wickersham’s father shot himself in the head. The father she loved would never have killed himself, and yet he had. His death made a mystery of his entire life. Using an index—that most formal and orderly of structures—Wickersham explores this chaotic and incomprehensible reality. Every bit of family history—marriage, parents, business failures—and every encounter with friends, doctors, and other survivors exposes another facet of elusive truth. Dark, funny, sad, and gripping, at once a philosophical and deeply personal exploration, The Suicide Index is, finally, a daughter’s anguished, loving elegy to her father. (20080624) [detailed...]

Lee Harris
The Suicide of Reason: Radical Islam`s Threat to the West

2007 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: Whether by choice or not, the West finds itself in a low-grade yet bitter war with Islamic fanaticism. It is a war the West is singularly ill equipped to fight. The foe is resistant to any of the normal methods of conflict resolution such as negotiation, economic sanctions, or conventional armed confrontation. `The Suicide of Reason` shows how modern liberal societies, whose political theories are born of the Enlightenment, are unfamiliar with the nature o mass fanaticism. The West can only think of fanaticism as a social pathology, a failure to modernize, rather than as what it is: a variety of social order that is not only fully viable in the modern world but also willing to use weapons to which the West is uniquely vulnerable. A governing philosophy based on reason, tolerance, and consensus cannot defend itself against a strategy of ruthless violence without being radically transformed-or destroyed. Extraordinarily original and thought-provoking, `The Suicide of Reason` explains… [detailed...]

The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men`s Style

2006 y.
Publisher: Collins
Description: `Clothes make the man.` Mark Twain never worked in today`s fast-paced workplace, but his observation has never been keener: clothes do make the man. With The Suit , Nicholas Antongiavanni provides a masterly manual on what it takes to succeed: advice on how to dress with style, flair, and an eye toward gaining power. That`s because `business casual` has proved itself a one-way ticket to a lifetime in the corporate dungeon. But if you apply the sartorial advice proffered in The Suit to your clothes, you will project elegance, bravado, and success. Drawing inspiration from Machiavelli`s The Prince , Antongiavanni has crafted an essential handbook for the ambitious man who recognizes that smart and stylish appearance is a lever to power. From neckties to footwear, belts to suspenders, lapels to handkerchiefs, The Suit leaves no garment or accessory untouched and will inject a dose of good taste into your closet. The debates over… [detailed...]

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this definitive biography, Ernle Bradford has brilliantly recreated Barbarossa’s remarkable life alongside a vivid portrayal of the Ottoman and Mediterranean worlds at this thrilling moment in history. Admiral, naval hero, pirate, warrior and empire-builder, Kheir ed-Din or Barbarossa, as he was known in the West, was a legendary figure. Born on Lesbos in Greece he rose to become High Admiral of the Ottoman Navy, Sultan of Algiers and friend and advisor to Suleiman the Magnificent. His life dominated the history of the Mediterranean in the 16th century. From the moment that he and his brother, Aruj, established themselves on the North African coast, the pattern of life and trade in the Mediterranean changed forever and for nearly 300 years after it was affected by the activities of raiders from what came to be called the Barbary Coast. His achievements in reorganizing the Ottoman Navy and his command of it helped the expansion of the Turkish Empire that threatened all of Europe. [detailed...]

In the late 1990s the world is cautiously emerging from the Cold War, even the Arab-Israeli conflict is being resolved, thanks to the cleverness of Clancy`s hero Jack Ryan.

Frederick Quinn
The Sum of All Heresies: The Image of Islam in Western Thought

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Current global tensions and the spread of terrorism have resurrected in the West a largely negative perception of Islamic society, an ill will fueled by centuries of conflict and prejudice. Shedding light on the history behind these hostile feelings, Frederick Quinn`s timely volume traces the Western image of Islam from its earliest days to recent times. Quinn establishes four basic themes around which the image of Islam gravitates throughout history: the Prophet as Antichrist, heretic, and Satan, the Prophet as Fallen Christian, corrupted monk, or Arab Lucifer, the prophet as sexual deviant, polygamist, and charlatan, and the Prophet as Wise Easterner, Holy Person, and dispenser of wisdom. A feature of the book is a strong portrayal of Islam in literature, art, music, and popular culture, drawing on such sources as Cervantes`s Don Quixote, the Orientalism of numerous visual artists, the classical music of Monteverdi and Mozart, and more recent cultural manifestations, such as… [detailed...]

Isabel Allende
The Sum of Our Days

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is Isabel Allende`s magnificent sequel to her bestselling memoir Paula. The Sum of Our Days, told with lyricism and disarming candour, addresses the Allende family`s struggle to come to terms with Paula`s eventual death, aged just twenty-eight. Isabel surrounds herself with her wild and vibrant relatives, a boisterous `tribe` whose joys, heartbreaks, passions and disasters she chronicles with verve and lively wit. There`s no stone left unturned, to the chagrin of some - as Isabel quips, no Chilean wants a writer in the family - but she writes of love, spiritualism, drug addiction and religious fervour with wisdom and sensitivity. The sorrow of Paula`s death lingers, but ultimately this is a memoir of quiet triumph - a faithful reflection of grieving and remembering from one of the world`s most luminous storytellers.

The Sum of Our Discontent: Why Numbers Make Us Irrational

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Sum of Our Discontent, David Boyle has put his finger on the problem with our numbers-obsessed societies: The trouble is that numbers have proliferated and that it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between a good statistic and a bad one andthat therefore numbers have become meaningless and in the process reduced humans to be coldly calculating. Boyle points out that the important things in life, such as wealth, success, rehabilitation and wisdom, are intangible, and because they are intangible, they cannot be measured and so are not used as a standard of happiness. Boyle asks how can businesses measure what they are worth when value is increasingly ephemeral encompassing things that go way beyond the traditional balance sheet? The trouble is, he says, is that numbers cannot capture the complexity of human life….the know-how, ethics, and self-esteem or kindness. Boyle emphasizes that the counters are taking over our lives. For centuries, humankind has attempted to… [detailed...]

Description: The story of a man in love with a place, a woman, and a dream. Tom Stone went to Greece one summer to write a novel -- and stayed twenty-two years. On Patmos, he fell in love with Danielle, a beautiful French painter. His novel completed and sold, he decided to stay a little longer. Seven idyllic years later, they left Patmos for Crete. When a Patmian friend Theologos called and offered him a summer partnership in his beach taverna, The Beautiful Helen, Stone jumped at the chance --much to the dismay of his wife, who cautioned him not to forget the old adage about Greeks bearing gifts. Her warning was well-founded: when back on Patmos, Stone quickly discovered that he was no longer a friend or patron but a competitor. He learned hard lessons about the Greeks` skill at bargaining and business while reluctantly coming to the realization that Theologos`s offer of a partnership was indeed a Trojan horse. Featuring Stone`s recipes, including his own… [detailed...]

The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century [detailed...]
