There Is Nothing For You Here

This book has a miraculous quality…. As a memoir this is hard to put down; if you are seeking a better American future you should pick it up.??Timothy Snyder, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A celebrated foreign policy expert and key impeachment witness reveals how declining opportunity has set America on the grim path of modern Russia?and draws on her personal journey out of poverty, as well as her unique perspectives as an historian and policy maker, to show how we can return hope to our forgotten places. Fiona Hill grew up in a world of terminal decay. The last of the local mines had closed, businesses were shuttering, and despair was etched in the faces around her. Her father urged her to get out of their blighted corner of northern England: ?There is nothing for you here, pet,? he said. The coal-miner’s daughter managed to go further than he ever could have dreamed. She studied in Moscow and at Harvard, became an American citizen, and served three U.S. Presidents. But in the heartlands of both Russia and the United States, she saw troubling reflections of her hometown and similar populist impulses. By the time she offered her brave testimony in the first impeachment inquiry of President Trump, Hill knew that the desperation of forgotten people was driving American politics over the brink?and that we were running out of time to save ourselves from Russia’s fate. In this powerful, deeply personal account, she shares what she has learned, and shows why expanding opportunity is the only long-term hope for our democracy. ?Of every book written by anybody associated with the Trump administration, in any way, [this] is absolutely the one to read.??Rachel Maddow A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year A Financial Times Best Book of the Year|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/85a01701/there-is-nothing-for-you-here-fiona-hill-9780358574316.jpg|9780358574316|There Is Nothing For You Here : Hardback : Mariner Books : 9780358574316 : 05 Oct 2021 : A celebrated foreign policy expert and key impeachment witness reveals how declining opportunity has set America on the grim path of modern Russia?and draws on he …|new|1|1|5|22|0|GBP|Fiona Hill|HarperCollins Publishers Inc|05 Oct 2021|Comparative politics 9780358659112|The High Desert|14.99|https://wordery.com/the-high-desert-james-spooner-9780358659112|A formative coming-of-age graphic memoir by the creator of Afro-punk: a young man’s immersive reckoning with identity, racism, clumsy teen love and belonging in an isolated California desert, and a search for salvation and community through punk. Apple Valley, California, in the late eighties, a thirsty, miserable desert. Teenage James Spooner hates that he and his mom are back in town after years away. The one silver lining?new school, new you, right? But the few Black kids at school seem to be gangbanging, and the other kids fall on a spectrum of micro-aggressors to future Neo-Nazis. Mixed race, acutely aware of his Blackness, James doesn’t know where he fits until he meets Ty, a young Black punk who introduces him to the school outsiders?skaters, unhappy young rebels, caught up in the punk groundswell sweeping the country. A haircut, a few Sex Pistols, Misfits and Black Flag records later: suddenly, James has friends, romantic prospects, and knows the difference between a bass and a guitar. But this desolate landscape hides brutal, building undercurrents: a classmate overdoses, a friend must prove himself to his white supremacist brother and the local Aryan brotherhood through a show of violence. Everything and everyone are set to collide at one of the year’s biggest shows in town… Weaving in the Black roots of punk rock and a vivid interlude in the thriving eighties DIY scene in New York’s East Village, this is the memoir of a budding punk, artist, and activist.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/f6992a06/the-high-desert-james-spooner-9780358659112.jpg|9780358659112|The High Desert : Hardback : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company : 9780358659112 : 04 Aug 2022 : A formative coming-of-age graphic memoir by the creator of Afro-punk: a young man’s immersive reckoning with identity, racism, clumsy teen love …|new|1|1|50|20|0|GBP|James Spooner|HarperCollins Publishers Inc|04 Aug 2022|Graphic novels: true stories & non-fiction 9780358646525|Seeing Around Corners|11.32|https://wordery.com/seeing-around-corners-rita-mcgrath-9780358646525|The first prescriptive, innovative guide to seeing inflection points before they happen?and how to harness these disruptive influences to give your company a strategic advantage Featuring a foreword by Clayton Christensen Paradigmatic shifts in the business landscape, known as inflection points, can either create new, entrepreneurial opportunities (see Amazon and Netflix) or they can lead to devastating consequences (e.g., Blockbuster and Toys ?R? Us). Only those leaders who can ?see around corners??that is, spot the disruptive inflection points developing before they hit?are poised to succeed in this market. Columbia Business School professor and corporate consultant Rita McGrath contends that inflection points, though they may seem sudden, are not random. Every seemingly overnight shift is the final stage of a process that has been subtly building for some time. Armed with the right strategies and tools, smart businesses can see these inflection points coming and use them to gain a competitive advantage. Seeing Around Corners is the first hands-on guide to anticipating, understanding, and capitalizing on the inflection points shaping the marketplace. |Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/24567d87/seeing-around-corners-rita-mcgrath-9780358646525.jpg|9780358646525|Seeing Around Corners : Paperback : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company : 9780358646525 : 21 Sep 2021 : The first prescriptive, innovative guide to seeing inflection points before they happen?and how to harness these disruptive influences to …|new|1|1|5|14.67|0|GBP|Rita McGrath|Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company|21 Sep 2021|Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945) books 9780358713685|My First Curious George 3-Book Box Set|13.39|https://wordery.com/my-first-curious-george-3-book-box-set-h-a-rey-9780358713685|This box set contains three sweet and gentle board books that introduce the youngest readers to the classic tales of Curious George.

Sibert Medal winner, the Newbery Honor?winning author Joyce Sidman introduces readers to one of the first female entomologists and a woman who flouted convention in the pursuit of knowledge and her passion for insects. One of the first naturalists to observe live insects directly, Maria Sibylla Merian was also one of the first to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly. Richly illustrated throughout with full-color original paintings by Merian herself, The Grew Who Drew Butterflies will enthrall young scientists. Bugs, of all kinds, were considered to be ?born of mud? and to be ?beasts of the devil.? Why would anyone, let alone a girl, want to study and observe them? The Girl Who Drew Butterflies answers this question.
