Volume 3: Targeted Landslides

Landslide Science for a Safer Geoenvironment

"The book is gripping as it chronicles Kerbeck&rsquo;s disdain for working at his family&rsquo;s car business, his quiet acting career,  and his descent into his moves against big businesses. The details of his sleuthing work are meticulous, but the book  still maintains the thrill of a spy novel. Celebrity name-drops add flair to this tale of calculated crimes"--Foreword Reviews"With enjoyable, au currant language, and a sharp ear for dialogue, Kerbeck&rsquo;s astounding story is fraught with tension, written in a voice both confident and accessible throughout an insider&rsquo;s memoir so finely wrought, it reads somewhere between a heart-pounding thriller and an intriguing, finely tuned spy novel."--New York Journal of Books

"The Club of Sienna has provided a helpful review, exposition, and extension of the Club of Rome’s systems modeling approach, demonstrating the increasing relevance of the 1972 book The Limits to Growth to problems that continue today. Especially recommended for environmental studies and economics courses." – Herman E. Daly, University of Maryland, USA. 
"This book creates the intellectual spine for the Club of Siena, walking in the footsteps of the famous Limits to Growth, but turns away from the fears of collapse towards showing that staying within the limits can offer agreeable, pleasant, even wonderful living conditions. An inspiring reading for those who believe in the need to change course." – Marina Fischer-Kowalski,Institute ofSocial Ecology, Vienna, Austria. 
"A profound treatise of the fallacies of the growth paradigm. Plus good suggestions for flourishing within the limits. Good tax signals can make us more successful. Bravo!" – Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, Co-President, The Club of Rome, Emmendingen, Germany.

&ldquo;[A] well-researched, beautifully detailed portrait of the late Middle Ages . . . Follett&rsquo;s no-frills prose does its job, getting smoothly through more than a thousand pages of outlaws, war, death, sex, and politics to end with an edifice that is as well constructed and solid as Merthin&rsquo;s bridge.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;Follett tells a story that runs the gamut of life in the Middle Ages, and he does so in such a way that we are not only captivated but also educated. What else could you ask for?&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Denver Post&#160;&ldquo;So if historical fiction is your meat, here&rsquo;s a rare treat. A feast of conflicts and struggles among religious authority, royal governance, the powerful unions (or guilds) of the day, and the peasantry . . . With&#160;World Without End, Follett proves his&#160;Pillars&#160;may be a rarity, but it wasn&rsquo;t a fluke.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;New York Post&#160;&ldquo;A work that stands as something of a triumph of industry and professionalism.&rdquo;&mdash;The Guardian&#160;(UK)&#160;&ldquo;The four well-drawn central characters will captivate readers as they prove to be heroic, depraved, resourceful, or mean. Fans of Follett&rsquo;s previous medieval epic will be well rewarded.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Union&#160;(CA)&#160;&ldquo;Populated with an immense cast of truly remarkable characters . . . this is not a book to be devoured in one sitting, tempting though that might be, but one to savor for its drama, depth, and richness.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;&ldquo;Readers will be captivated.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

World Without End

&ldquo;A meticulous history. . . . An essential read for anyone seriously concerned with the fate of democracy in the United States. The book belongs in every library seeking to record the major forces and personalities shaping the 21st century.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Journal of Books&ldquo;A deeply-reported look at President Donald Trump and his chaotic administration . . . Shocking revelations.&rdquo; &mdash;People &#160; &ldquo;What [I Alone Can Fix It] argues in a detailed case is that the catastrophe of 2020 was a result of Trump's proclivity to put political optics above all else, including American lives.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today&ldquo;A blockbuster follow-up to A Very Stable Genius, in which Leonnig and Rucker chronicled the chaos of Trump&rsquo;s first three years in office. I Alone Can Fix It pulls back the curtain on the handling of Covid-19, the re-election bid and its chaotic and violent aftermath. The pair are Pulitzer winners, for investigative reporting. Their book is essential reading. They have receipts, which they lay out for all to see.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian"Incisive, dramatic and masterful . . . Leonnig and Rucker capture it all. Just when we think, in absorbing these horrific events of the transfer of power to Joe Biden, that we can&rsquo;t be shocked any more&mdash;we are. The tumult is raw and real and ugly. The Trump Oval Office is a place defiled. As they showed us previously, their reporting is as authoritative and seamless as the legends they have now succeeded&mdash;Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein&mdash;under the shield of the venerable Post." &mdash;The Sydney Morning Herald&ldquo;We begin tonight with breaking news on just how unhinged the final days of the last administration were and how much worse they might have gotten . . . These and other chilling scenes are contained in a new book, I Alone Can Fix It.&rdquo; &mdash;Anderson Cooper, CNN&rsquo;s &ldquo;Anderson Cooper 360&rdquo; &#160; &ldquo;We begin with explosive new revelations about just how close American democracy came to the edge. Jaw-dropping excerpts from a new book about the aftermath of the 2020 election . . . I don&rsquo;t want people to lose sight of the historic nature of what is being reported here.&rdquo; &mdash;John Berman, CNN&rsquo;s &ldquo;New Day&rdquo; &#160; &ldquo;We are now getting some bracing new revelations about Donald Trump&rsquo;s final year, his final days in the White House, and they come from the Pulitzer Prize writing duo, friends of this broadcast, Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post in their new book, I Alone Can Fix It.&rdquo; &mdash;Brian Williams, MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;11th Hour&rdquo;  &#160; &ldquo;In never-before-seen excerpts from the brand-new book I Alone Can Fix It by Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig, we are learning that the Trump presidency was much, much worse than any of us imagined and that the people around him all knew it. They also knew he had autocratic tendencies and would do anything to cling to power, including endangering the life of his own Vice President and the Vice President&rsquo;s family. Blockbuster new reporting in this yet-to-be-released book bears that out and adds to our understanding of the horrors of January 6th.&rdquo; &mdash;Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;Deadline White House&rdquo;  &#160; &ldquo;Thank God we have reporters like Phil and Carol . . . to be able to go back and tell us what was actually going on. Everything is shocking.&rdquo; &mdash;John Heilemann, MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;Deadline White House&rdquo;  &#160; &ldquo;Explosive new reporting tonight describing the country&rsquo;s most senior military officer comparing former President Trump&rsquo;s lies about election fraud to Nazi-era Germany. . . . That&rsquo;s according to the new book by two Washington Post reporters based on interviews with more than 140 people, with newly revealed details of fears from top military brass of how close the country was to chaos.&rdquo; &mdash;Hallie Jackson, &ldquo;NBC Nightly News&rdquo; &#160; &ldquo;Bombshell reporting.&rdquo; &mdash;David Muir, &ldquo;ABC World News Tonight&rdquo;  &#160; &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the importance of this book . . . We&rsquo;re finally getting behind the scenes as to what our leaders were saying and knew about Trump.&rdquo; &mdash;Carl Bernstein, CNN&rsquo;s &ldquo;New Day&rdquo;

A Natural History of Magick

It’s a rare feat for anyone who works in a prison to capture the smell, the flavour and the taste of the fetid air they share with the prisoners in a book. So rare I can’t think of anyone who has managed it as well as Andy West in this raw and utterly authentic account of his role as a prison philosophy teacher. More and more compelling with every turn of the page, his interactions with his students reveal his own deep and often disturbing inner truths as well as theirs. A great resource for self-reflection and rational thinking.

100 Dinge über die Donau, die man wissen sollte

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, BuzzFeed &bull; Winner of the 2021 Scotiabank Giller Prize&#160;&bull; Finalist for the 2022 Aspen Words Literary Prize&ldquo;Extraordinary . . . Told from the point of view of two children, on the ground and at sea, the story so astutely unpacks the us-versus-them dynamics of our divided world that it deserves to be an instant classic. I haven&rsquo;t loved a book this much in a long time.&rdquo; &mdash;Wendell Steavenson, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Riveting . . . Nothing I&rsquo;ve read before has given me such a visceral sense of the grisly predicament confronted by millions of people expelled from their homes by conflict and climate change. Though What Strange Paradise celebrates a few radical acts of compassion, it does so only by placing those moments of moral courage against a vast ocean of cruelty.&rdquo;  &mdash;Ron Charles, The Washington Post &ldquo;Hope and kindness light the story in unexpected ways . . . El Akkad's precise prose allows him to inject heartfelt observations throughout the novel . . . Perhaps El Akkad's biggest accomplishment with What Strange Paradise is that it manages to push past political talking points and shocking statistics to rehumanize the discussion about migration on a global scale, and it does so with enough heart to be memorable.&rdquo; &mdash;Gabino Iglesias, NPR&ldquo;[What Strange Paradise is] simple in the way that novels like The Stranger or Of Mice and Men are: brief, taut, cooly delivered but with seas of emotion swirling underneath.&rdquo; &mdash;Mark Athitakis, Minneapolis Star Tribune &ldquo;In his acclaimed bestselling debut, American War, El Akkad demonstrated his ability to capture complex political events and place them on a personal scale. With his new novel, What Strange Paradise, he has done it again, this time asking questions about the global refugee crisis.&rdquo; &mdash;The Millions, &ldquo;Most Anticipated: The Great Second-Half 2021 Book Preview&rdquo;&ldquo;What Strange Paradise is by turns tender and brutal in its truths. It is tremendously written, propulsive as it is expansive as it is granular in its specificities. Omar El Akkad writes with such emotional precision, power, and grace. Here we get the wondrousness of children set in sharp relief against a backdrop of the all too common dehumanization then dismissal of refugees everywhere. The book devastates and uplifts, somehow, and we are not left with hope&mdash;that isn&rsquo;t the point&mdash;but asked to witness, to see what is here, with clarity, and with fullness of heart.&rdquo; &mdash;Tommy Orange, author of There There&ldquo;What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad just resuscitated my heart. This novel&mdash;following a boy who survives a refugee passage, and a girl whose homeland feels fractured&mdash;dares to unite us on the shore of shared human experience, and redefines hope in the face of despair. I want to read this book every single day. I want to live in a world where the beauty of strangers is a heartsong.&rdquo;&#160;  &mdash;Lidia Yuknavitch,&#160;author of Verge &ldquo;It is one thing to put a human face on a migrant crisis and another to do so in so compelling a way that a reader simply cannot put your book down. I read this in one sitting, my heart pounding the whole way&mdash;in a strange paradise, you might say. Marvelous.&rdquo;&mdash;Gish Jen, author of The Resisters&ldquo;What an imaginative, touching, and necessary novel Omar El Akkad has brought to us. It reminds us of the human stories behind headlines and statistics, and gives us one of the most memorable children characters, whose story adds urgency and poignancy to that &lsquo;awfully big adventure&rsquo; stated by Peter Pan.&rdquo; &mdash;Yiyun Li, author of Must I Go&ldquo;Impassioned and richly detailed, What Strange Paradise moves like a thriller and punches like a work of art. With this haunting story of refugees, high seas, sharks and Samaritans, Omar El Akkad continues on his impressive exploration of our contemporary world.&rdquo; &mdash;Aravind Adiga, author of The White Tiger and Amnesty&ldquo;Great literature about migration should rehumanize the discourse surrounding it. What Strange Paradise does a fantastic job of that. Touching, gritty, and told in a unique voice that places childhood at the center of the discussion, this is a tender, haunting work about refugees everyone should read.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR, &ldquo;July Book-Ahead: What We're Excited to Read Next Month&rdquo;&ldquo;Searing, lyrical . . . A beguiling parable of dispossessed peoples and the burning desire for home.&rdquo; &mdash;Oprah Daily, &ldquo;18 of the Best Books to Pick Up This July&rdquo;&ldquo;Riveting . . . an intimate action-adventure story that&rsquo;s laced with hope and compassion, emotions with the power to transcend borders and worldly disputes.&rdquo; &mdash; G. Robert Frazier, BookPage&ldquo;El Akkad. . . expertly contrasts the well-paced story of Amir&rsquo;s predicament with the ill-fated voyage that brought him to Greece. The ragtag bunch of strangers on the boat forms an incredibly well-drawn portrait of humanity as everyone bonds together initially, even with dollops of humor thrown in . . . A suspenseful and heartbreaking painting of the refugee crisis as experienced by two children caught in the crosshairs.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, starred&ldquo;El Akkad's compelling, poetic prose captures the precarity and desperation of people pushed to the brink . . . A compassionate snapshot of one Syrian refugee's struggle to plot a course for home.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews
