Air Taxis

Summary

"Air Taxis" explores the revolutionary concept of urban air mobility (UAM), examining how electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft could transform urban transportation. It dives into the technologies, economics, and policies shaping this nascent industry. Consider that air taxis could reduce commute times drastically, potentially turning hour-long drives into mere minutes in the air. However, the book also acknowledges the challenges, like developing vertiports—the aerial equivalent of bus stops—and ensuring safety in crowded airspaces.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to UAM and its potential benefits. It then examines key areas such as aircraft design, economic viability, and regulatory implications. For example, the book details how advancements in battery technology are crucial for eVTOL aircraft, much like fuel efficiency is vital for traditional cars. By exploring these facets, "Air Taxis" provides a balanced perspective on both the promise and the potential pitfalls of UAM. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the future of transportation in our increasingly congested cities.

Offshore - Stealth Wealth and...

Brooke Harrington

How do the rich keep getting richer, while dodging the long arm of the law? The ultra-rich seem to live in a different world from the rest of us. That world is called offshore. Hidden from view, the world's ultra-rich can use offshore finance to escape tax obligations, labor and environmental safety regulations, campaign finance rules, and other laws that get in their way. 
 
 
 
In Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, sociologist Brooke Harrington reveals how this system works, as well as how it degrades democracy, the economy, and the public goods on which we all depend. Through interviews with dozens of wealth managers in nineteen countries, Harrington uncovered how this global network of offshore financial centers arose from the remnants of colonialism and has created a new, hidden imperial class. 
 
 
 
This engrossing deep dive reveals what offshore finance costs all of us, and how it has colonized the world—not on behalf of any one country, but to benefit a largely invisible empire of a few thousand billionaires, who help themselves to the best society has to offer while sticking us with the bill. As politicians struggle to address the deepening economic and political inequality destabilizing the world, Harrington's exposé of the offshore system is a vital resource for understanding the most pressing crises of our time.

This Can't Be Normal - What To...

Chanie Wilschanski

You’ve built the systems and followed the playbook, yet when the lights go out, you’re still the one carrying it all. School leaders were told that hiring well and documenting everything would bring peace. It didn’t. Because systems create structure and standards create clarity—but only rhythms create safety. 
In This Can’t Be Normal, Chanie Wilschanski reveals what no one else will tell you: you’re not drowning because you’re weak. You’re exhausted because you’re carrying what systems can’t hold—the invisible weight of everyone’s expectations, emotions, and needs. 
This book is your map back to steady ground. Through vivid stories and raw honesty, Chanie introduces Rhythm-Based Leadership—a new way to lead that distributes the emotional and operational load so you can breathe again. 
This Can’t Be Normal is a wake-up call—and a way home—for leaders who know leadership is hard, but refuse to believe it has to feel like survival.
