    NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2020 (BLOOMBERG) 
    An urgent and informed look at the challenges America and world governments will face in a post Covid-19 world. 
    The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed that governments matter again, that competent leadership is the difference between living and dying. A few governments proved adept at handling the crisis while many others failed. Are Western governments healthy and strong enough to keep their citizens safe from another virulent virus—and protect their economies from collapse? Is global leadership passing from the United States to Asia—and particularly China?  
    The Wake-Up Call addresses these urgent questions. Journalists and longtime collaborators John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge identify the problems Western leaders face, and outline a detailed plan to help them become more vigilant, better prepared, and responsive to disruptive future events.  
    The problems that face us are enormous; as The Wake-Up Call makes clear, governments around the world must re-engineer the way they operate to successfully meet the challenges ahead.

    A physician’s life unravels into addiction and despair before being radically transformed by a single, overwhelming encounter with 5-MeO-DMT, the secretion of the Sonoran desert toad. Out of that experience of “divine light” emerges a new vocation as a healer and facilitator, blending modern medicine with entheogenic ceremony to help people face trauma, addiction, depression and fear of death. The book combines confession, case stories and spiritual teaching to present 5-MeO-DMT as both a dangerous initiatory fire and a sacrament that can reorient a life toward service, humility and nondual awareness.

    Moving House and other Poems...

    The old is contrasted with the new, fictional with actual life. Links are made between different cultures, different lives, different experiences. The expatriate life-style of constant movement runs parallel with the title of the book. 
     "Gillian Bickley writes as she responds to everyday events, always with the echo of 'time's winged chariot' in her ears. The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave. The opening poem suggests the elusive presence of the author, and the deeper themes glimpsed through her deceptively simple poems. The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickley's central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in Moving House is the control of language. In this bare, tight poetry, no idle words are allowed. Its vocabulary draws on the base language of essences and epiphanies. The chosen spare language is the perfect partner for this poetry of mature experience." — Emeritus Professor I. F. Clarke and M. Clarke. 
    "The poetic observations of a sensitive writer responding to the reality of being alive." "Insightful probing into the darker issues of our lives . . . to make sense of human experience." — Paul Bench, Speech & Drama: Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama. 
    "A privileged view into the emotional, intellectual and spiritual life of its writer." "The profound intimacy of the personal poems, reflecting universal truths about the human condition, renders the reader at once intruder and confidant." — Solveig Bang, Sunday Morning Post. 
    "Bickley's delicately-crafted poems are faithful word portraits of various aspects of Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium: its landscape, its people, its myths and spirits." —Tammy Ho, Asian Review of Books.
