Letters To Mikey - Messages of...

Glenn Cort

In America we have so much, but there is something missing. There is a widespread fear of what we are becoming. Our new normal is indescribable, yet undeniable. Subtle, yet controlling. We can all feel it but we can’t put our finger on what it is. 
There is a generalized sense of noise and confusion that has dominated our society for years. It’s as if we’ve become unglued from anything — truth or reality — that has formerly held us together. 
Driven by the fear of the moment, Letters to Mikey (LTM) is the story of a parent and part time teacher who sits down to write a birthday card for his eighteen-year-old son and is at a loss for words for what is happening to society. So, he drops everything, moves to an island and visits a place that he hasn’t been to for years... the local library. What he finds there is truly astonishing! 
Written for young adults and teenagers, LTM explains truth in a way that kids can rely on to have less frustration and worry about this crazy world we live in. It provides real reasons for optimism for a brighter future as well as coping mechanisms, tools and strategies to enable a future generation to bring an end to terrible disagreement and hate forever. These aren't false promises. It's possible.  
Geared to start a movement, LTM seeks to tap into our greatest resource — young people.

The Security Side of Gulf...

Eleonora Ardemagni

The GCC states are adapting defence strategies to the challenges raised by their "Visions", their post-hydrocarbon national plans. Far from being just economic programmes, the Visions are broad national transformation platforms displaying also a security dimension, and with many security implications. New cities and industrial poles, infrastructures, mega events and tourism raise unprecedented security risks, at which the GCC states are answering through a combination of economic-oriented foreign policy, multipolar international alliances, and ambitions towards "defense autonomisation". What are the Visions' security dimensions and implications, and how does the post-oil path affect and reshape foreign policies?
This Report analyses how GCC states are adapting deterrence and defence tools to the connectivity age, navigating a troubled neighbourhood of both conventional and asymmetric threats. In a central but more vulnerable Gulf, how may the EU and NATO accommodate transformations in GCC states' defense policies, postures, and means, to support their own security?

George Soros - A Life In Full

Peter L. W. Osnos

The name George Soros is recognized around the world. Universally known for his decades of philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, he is equally well known as the nemesis of the far right—the target of sustained attacks from nationalists, populists, authoritarian regimes, and anti-Semites—because of his commitment to open society, freedom of the press, and liberal democracy. At age ninety-one, Soros still looms large on the global stage, and yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. 
 
 
 
Biographers have attempted to tell the story of George Soros, but no single account of his life can capture his extraordinary, multifaceted character. Now, in this ambitious and revealing new book, Soros's longtime publisher, Peter L. W. Osnos, has assembled an intriguing set of contributors from a variety of different perspectives—public intellectuals (Eva Hoffman, Michael Ignatieff), journalists (Sebastian Mallaby, Orville Schell), scholars (Leon Botstein, Ivan Krastev), and nonprofit leaders (Gara LaMarche, Darren Walker)—to paint a full picture of the man beyond the media portrayals. 
 
  
 
Through this kaleidoscope of viewpoints emerges a vivid and compelling portrait of this remarkable man's unique and consequential impact. It has truly been a life in full.

The Rise of a New Left - How...

Raina Lipsitz

A new progressive generation is on the rise in the United States, reflected in the mushrooming rolls of the Democratic Socialists of America (90,000 mostly twentysomething members), Marxist explainers in Teen Vogue, and perhaps most famously of all, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 
 
 
 
The Rise of a New American Left is the first book to look closely at this new politics. Propelled by interviews with AOC and the other key figures and organizations that have shaken up American politics, the book includes portraits of groups like Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, and Justice Democrats, explaining who they are, where they come from, and what they want. Investigating the panoply of strategies employed by the new movements and their relationships to politicians from Bernie Sanders to Nancy Pelosi, the book describes how the generational focus on insurgent electoral campaigns both aims to transform the Democratic Party and threatens to be captured by it. 
 
 
 
Written with panache by a member of this rising generation, this book immerses the listener in a youth culture the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Sixties.
