  Hello (And Goodbye) To All That...

  Jonathan Liebson

  Raised in suburban Chicago, Jonathan Liebson grew up hearing fabled stories about his father's childhood in New York. The Manhattan and Queens of his father's past, and the Lower East Side of his immigrant grandfather, always shimmered in the background—until one day Jonathan finally moved there himself. This was right on the cusp of the twenty-first century: the dawn of a new millennium. The city raced headlong into an era of cellphones, the internet, and many other unpredictable changes. Over time, New York would be wracked by 9/11, a Great Recession, a great hurricane, and a great pandemic—plus much more. Hello (and Goodbye) to All That is a memoir that recounts the indelible ties Jonathan would forge in his father's city, and his up-close view of profound historical episodes. The memoir plays off Joan Didion's famous essay "Goodbye to All That," where she describes the exciting yet fleeting experience of living in New York. In contrast, Jonathan's memoir provides a narrative about the city's permanence: it tells an intergenerational story of father and son that reveals a mutual connection to a constantly changing, often-troubled, yet still-dynamic city—and to the larger American history it comprises.

  Dogfight - How Apple and Google...

  Behind the bitter rivalry between Apple and Google—and how it's reshaping the way we think about technologyThe rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the industry of making computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. In the age of Android and the iPad, these corporations are locked in a feud that will play out not just in the mobile marketplace but in the courts and on screens around the world.     Fred Vogelstein has reported on this rivalry for more than a decade and has rare access to its major players. In Dogfight, he takes us into the offices and board rooms where company dogma translates into ruthless business; behind outsize personalities like Steve Jobs, Apple's now-lionized CEO, and Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman; and inside the deals, lawsuits, and allegations that mold the way we communicate. Apple and Google are poaching each other's employees. They bid up the price of each other's acquisitions for spite, and they forge alliances with major players like Facebook and Microsoft in pursuit of market dominance.Dogfight reads like a novel: vivid nonfiction with never-before-heard details. This is more than a story about what devices will replace our cell phones and laptops. It's about who will control the content on those devices and where that content will come from—about the future of media and the Internet in Silicon Valley, New York, and Hollywood.

  Fleeing from the world's most powerful intelligence agency, John Meier is hunted by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in his attempts to expose the Deep State and corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. Government in this riveting true story. 
  Includes revealing information on the Assassination of U.S. Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and Critical Comments by New York Times bestselling author Jim Hougan. 
  NARRATED BY ACTOR DENNIS BOUTSIKARIS (THE BOURNE LEGACY / BETTER CALL SAUL / SUGAR) WHO HAS WON 8 AUDIE AWARDS 
  Immerse yourself in the International Political Thriller that exposes the illegal activites of the CIA, the real reason for Watergate, the 20th Century's most notorious political scandal and the biggest political scandal in U.S. History, and the hidden death of Howard Hughes, the world's wealthiest individual, in this Biography of John Meier, the U.S. Senate Candidate who was the right-hand man to Howard Hughes. 
  THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE IN DEVELOPMENT ‘MEIERGATE’ IS ABOUT THE LIFE STORY OF JOHN MEIER 
  Meier had Top Secret security clearance with the U.S. Government and has been referred to in the media as the man who brought down U.S. President Richard Nixon in Watergate and was the first person to expose the CIA’s involvement with the Hughes Organization and the only person to call for a congressional hearing into the death of Howard Hughes. 
  The CIA's worldwide pursuit of Meier to destroy him, in order to prevent him from exposing their illicit actives, included framing him for a number of offences including murder, and attempting to assassinate him 
  In the book Meier sums up his politically motivated battle by saying “My story is one of a man devastated by a corrupt system. Our governments are increasingly disrespectful of basic human rights such that we can no longer legitimately call our nations democracies. I hope that this story will contribute to changing this course”.

  Orthodoxy

  G.K. Chesterton

  Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton is a brilliant exploration of faith, reason, and the human condition. In this timeless work, Chesterton recounts his personal journey to Christian orthodoxy, presenting it not as a restrictive creed but as a vibrant and imaginative framework for understanding life's mysteries. With characteristic wit and paradox, he argues that Christianity uniquely balances the seemingly contradictory aspects of existence—freedom and order, wonder and logic, joy and sorrow. Chesterton critiques modern philosophies that seek to simplify or deconstruct reality, asserting that orthodoxy’s complexity reflects the richness of human experience. Through vivid prose and profound insights, Orthodoxy champions the intellectual depth and poetic beauty of traditional Christian beliefs, offering readers a compelling defense of faith as both rational and revolutionary.
