Summary

"Red Sea Secrets" reveals the vital role of the Red Sea in shaping world history, spotlighting its profound economic significance, ancient trade routes, and pivotal naval battles. The book argues that this waterway has been central to connecting civilizations and influencing global events, challenging Eurocentric views of history. Intriguingly, control of the Red Sea has consistently translated into economic and political influence.

 
The book examines the Red Sea as an economic engine, facilitating trade between East and West since antiquity, highlighting the rise and fall of ancient ports. It also analyzes naval encounters that shaped the region's geopolitical landscape, from ancient Egyptian expeditions to Ottoman-Portuguese conflicts.

 
Furthermore, it investigates the environmental impact of human activity on the Red Sea, from early resource exploitation to contemporary concerns about pollution and climate change.

 
The book progresses through chapters that explore ancient trade networks, analyze naval battles and strategic importance, and investigate environmental impact. Drawing upon archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and naval records, the book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis of the Red Sea, combining historical, economic, and environmental perspectives.

    This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. 
 
Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.  
 
Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution-and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. 
 
Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.

    "The entire cowboy-outlaw era, which reached its climax in 1897 and ended around 1905, comes vividly alive in this kaleidoscopic work ... countless other instances of robbing, stealing and retribution, are woven splendidly into this rousing saga of the closing years of the outlaw epoch of the American West." —Wall Street JournalFrom multiple New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin comes the thrilling true story of the most infamous hangout for bandits, thieves and murderers of all time—and the lawmen tasked with rooting them out.Robbers Roost, Brown’s Hole, and Hole-in-the-Wall were three hideouts that collectively were known to outlaws as “Bandit Heaven.” During the 1880s and ‘90s these remote locations in Wyoming and Utah harbored hundreds of train and bank robbers, horse and cattle thieves, the occasional killer, and anyone else with a price on his head.Clavin's Bandit Heaven is the entertaining story of these tumultuous times and the colorful characters who rode the Outlaw Trail through the frigid mountain passes and throat-parching deserts that connected the three hideouts—well-guarded enclaves no sensible lawman would enter. There are the “star” residents like gregarious Butch Cassidy and his mostly silent sidekick the Sundance Kid, and an array of fascinating supporting players like the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and “Black Jack” Ketchum (who had the dubious distinction of being decapitated during a hanging), among others. Most of the hard-riding action takes place in the mid- to late-1890s when Bandit Heaven came to be one of the few safe places left as the law closed in on the dwindling number of active outlaws. Most were dead by the beginning of the 20th century, gunned down by a galvanized law-enforcement system seeking rewards and glory. Ultimately, only Cassidy and Sundance escaped . . . to meet their fate 6000 miles away, becoming legends when they died in a fusillade of lead.Bandit Heaven is a thrilling listen, filled with action, indelible characters, and some poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
