-Titulo Original : Anansis Gold: The Man Who Looted The West, Outfoxed Washington, And Swindled The World-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: La asombrosa historia nunca antes contada de cómo un audaz estafador ghanés llevó a cabo uno de los fraudes más espectaculares y de mayor duración del siglo XX. Cuando Ghana ganó su independencia de Gran Bretaña en 1957, instantáneamente se convirtió en un objetivo para los oportunistas locales y los rapaces intereses occidentales decididos a arrebatar cualquier activo que el colonialismo no hubiera despojado ya. Una junta militar financiada por la CIA destituyó al inspirador presidente de la nueva nación, Kwame Nkrumah, y luego lo acusó falsamente de ocultar el oro del país en el extranjero. En esta gran mentira entró uno de los estafadores más carismáticos de la historia, un estafador para rivalizar con el dios embaucador Anansi. Nacido en la pobreza en Ghana y formado en Estados Unidos, John Ackah Blay-Miezah se declaró custodio de un supuesto fondo fiduciario de Nkrumah valorado en miles de millones. Usted también podría reclamar una parte, si tan solo invirtiera en los esfuerzos ficticios de Blay-Miezah para liberar el fondo igualmente ficticio. Durante las décadas de 1970 y 1980, él y sus cómplices, incluidos funcionarios estatales de Ghana y el exfiscal general de Nixon, estafaron cientos de millones de dólares a miles de creyentes. Blay-Miezah vivía en el lujo, engañando a abogados de Filadelfia, financistas de Londres y empresarios de Seúl por igual, mientras eludía a sus perseguidores del FBI. Los fiscales estadounidenses calificaron su estafa como una de las más fascinantes y lucrativas de la historia moderna. En Anansis Gold, Yepoka Yeebo sigue el rastro cada vez más salvaje de Blay-Miezah y descubre, por fin, qué sucedió realmente con la riqueza perdida de Ghana. Ella desarrolla un relato fascinante de los enredos de la Guerra Fría, las finanzas internacionales y la traición poscolonial, que revela cómo lo que llamamos historia se escribe a sí mismo, una mentira a la vez...

When “Willie” Somerset Maugham, a famed writer and old friend of Roberts, arrives for an extended visit with his secretary Gerald, the pair threatens a rift that could alter more lives than one.

-Titulo Original : The End Of Eden Wild Nature In The Age Of Climate Breakdown-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: New Yorker Best Book of the Year “Exquisite.” DAVID WALLACE-WELLS “At once an elegy and an exhortation.” ELIZABETH KOLBERT “A book that goes deeper than any before into the meaning of the climate breakdown for all the rest of creation.” BILL McKIBBEN “Celebratory and heartbreaking.” DAVID GEORGE HASKELL A revelatory exploration of climate change from the perspective of wild species and natural ecosystems--an homage to the miraculous, vibrant entity that is life on Earth. The stories we usually tell ourselves about climate change tend to focus on the damage inflicted on human societies by big storms, severe droughts, and rising sea levels. But the most powerful impacts are being and will be felt by the natural world and its myriad species, which are already in the midst of the sixth great extinction. Rising temperatures are fracturing ecosystems that took millions of years to evolve, disrupting the life forms they sustain--and in many cases driving them towards extinction. The natural Eden that humanity inherited is quickly slipping away. Although we can never really know what a creature thinks or feels, The End of Eden invites the reader to meet wild species on their own terms in a range of ecosystems that span the globe. Combining classic natural history, firsthand reportage, and insights from cutting-edge research, Adam Welz brings us close to creatures like moose in northern Maine, parrots in Puerto Rico, cheetahs in Namibia, and rare fish in Australia as they struggle to survive. The stories are intimate yet expansive and always dramatic. An exquisitely written and deeply researched exploration of wild species reacting to climate breakdown, The End of Eden offers a radical new kind of environmental journalism that connects humans to nature in a more empathetic way than ever before and galvanizes us to act in defense of the natural world before it’s too late...

-Titulo Original : Can We Talk About Israel? A Guide For The Curious, Confused, And Conflicted-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: National Jewish Book Award finalist An essential and accessible introduction to one of the most complex, controversial topics in the world, from a leading expert on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When it comes to Israel and Palestine, it can be hard to know what to say. Daniel Sokatch gets it. He heads the New Israel Fund, an organization dedicated to equality and democracy for all Israelis--Arab, Jewish, and otherwise. The question he gets asked, on an almost daily basis, is, Cant you just explain the Israel situation to me? In, like, 10 minutes or less? This book is his timely and much-needed answer. Can We Talk About Israel? tells the story of that country and explores why so many people feel so strongly about it without actually understanding it very well at all. Sokatch grapples with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims. And he explains why Israel (and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) inspires such extreme feelings--why it seems like Israel is the answer to “what is wrong with the world” for half the people in it, and “what is right with the world” for the other half. As Sokatch asks, is there any other topic about which so many intelligent, educated, and sophisticated people express such strongly and passionately held convictions, and about which they actually know so little? Complete with engaging illustrations by Christopher Noxon, Can We Talk About Israel? is an easy-to-read yet penetrating and original look at a subject we could all afford to better understand...

I have been waiting for a book like this one.”-Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Thank you [Amanda Jones] for fighting back, for standing up in Louisiana for the ever-expansive imaginations of our kids. People like you are TRUE heroes. TRUE treasures.”-Jason Reynolds Part memoir, part manifesto, the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity on the front lines of our vicious culture wars. One of the things small town librarian Amanda Jones values most about books is how they can affirm a young persons sense of self.
