A chronicle of life on the resplendent island. Adele Barker and her son, Noah, settled into the central highlands of Sri Lanka for an 18-month sojourn, immersing themselves in the customs, cultures, and landscapes of the island: its elephants, birds, and monkeys; its hot curries and sweet mangoes; the cacophony of its markets; the resonant evening chants from its temples. When, having returned home to Tucson, Barker awakes on December 26, 2004, to see televised images of the island's southern shore disappearing into the ocean, she decides she must go back.

He elaborates on the significant and obvious benefits of social media as well as its drawbacks.

The Great Recession that began in 2007 is now more than four years old—and counting. Some 24 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed, and at recent rates of job creation we won’t be back to normal levels of employment until late this decade. This is a tragedy. Do we have to accept...

The accelerating changes of the past generation have been accompanied by a similarly accelerated amnesia. The 20th century has become "history" at an unprecedented rate. The world of 2007 was so utterly unlike that of even 1987, much less any earlier time, that we have lost touch with our immediate past even before we have begun to make sense of it - and the results are proving calamitous.

In this candid oral history of a presidential tenure, author Brian Abrams reveals the behind-the-scenes stories that illuminate the eight years of the Obama White House through more than one hundred exclusive interviews. Among those given a voice in this extraordinary account are Obama’s cabinet secretaries; his teams of speechwriters, legal advisers, and campaign strategists; as well as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who fought for or against his agenda.

On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. a satellite uplink was sent from Pakistan crackling into the situation room of the White House: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA." These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, ended Osama bin Laden's reign of terror. SEAL Target Geronimo is the story of Neptune's Spear from the men who were there. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details in an exclusive account of what happened as he takes listeners inside the walls of Bin Laden's compound.

In the past five years, Israel has mounted three major assaults on the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped behind its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Taken together, Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014) have resulted in the deaths of some 3,700 Palestinians. Meanwhile a total of 90 Israelis were killed in the invasions. On the face of it, this succession of vastly disproportionate attacks has often seemed frenzied and pathological.

In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other.

The massacre of the Yazidi people by ISIS was nothing less than genocide. In refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, the authors brought a skilled team to interview more than a hundred ISIS survivors and document what they experienced and saw. These former slaves observed their torturers and knew from the inside the secret facilities that ISIS has kept hidden from the world. What their testimony reveals is an organization whose ambition is power, regardless of their claim to be "soldiers of God."

Quando ripensiamo ai fatti significativi della nostra vita tutti noi ormai siamo abituati a ragionare in termini di "prima" o "dopo" l'11 settembre 2001. È un dato di fatto oggettivo: quel giorno ha diviso la storia del mondo in un "prima" ed in "dopo". Ormai quando si usa l'espressione "undici settembre" non serve più nemmeno specificare di che anno si tratti: è chiaro per tutti che ci si riferisce all'11 settembre 2001.

De aanslagen zoals in Parijs en Brussel zijn voor velen onbegrijpelijk. Wat kan mensen ertoe drijven om zichzelf en vele onschuldige omstaanders de dood in te jagen? Wat kan verklaren dat men bereid is om een dergelijk offer te brengen? Het ligt voor de hand dat de verklaring deels wordt gezocht in religie, niet in het minst omdat de daders zelf godsdienstige motieven inroepen. Voor vele gelovigen is dit een ongemakkelijke vaststelling. Door een selectieve lezing van hun heilige teksten zijn ze er immers van overtuigd dat hun God synoniem staat voor vrede en liefde. Zij draaien bovenstaande vraag dan ook om: Waarom in Gods naam?
