Summary

Wool Trade explores the profound influence of wool on world history, economics, and culture. Far from being a simple textile, wool acted as a major driver of economic growth and social stratification. The book examines wool's journey from its origins to its role in shaping global commerce and fashion. Readers will discover how this single commodity influenced societies, fueled empires, and left a lasting mark on the world. For example, the English enclosure movements, which transformed agricultural practices, were largely driven by the profitability of wool production. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the early domestication of sheep and progressing through the rise of wool as a global trade commodity. The book explores the impact on medieval economies, the rise of global trade networks, and also the social structures created by wool. By drawing on historical records, archaeological findings, and economic data, Wool Trade offers a comprehensive look at the interconnectedness of history, economics, and culture through the lens of this ubiquitous fiber. The book emphasizes wool's active role in shaping events.

Sweat Equity - Inside the New...

Jason Kelly

Sweat Equity goes inside the multi-billion-dollar trend toward endurance sports and fitness to discover who's driving it, who's paying for it, and who's profiting. Bloomberg's Jason Kelly profiles the participants, entrepreneurs, and investors at the center of this movement, exploring this phenomenon in which a surge of people—led by the most affluent—are becoming increasingly obsessed with looking and feeling better. Through in-depth looks inside companies and events from New York Road Runners to Tough Mudder and Ironman, Kelly profiles the companies and people aiming to meet the demands of these consumers, and the traits and strategies that made them so successful. 
 
 
 
In a modern world filled with anxiety, pressure, and competition, people are spending more time and money than ever before to soothe their minds and tone their bodies, sometimes pushing themselves to the most extreme limits. Even as obesity rates hit an all-time high, the most financially successful among us are collectively spending billions each year on apparel, gear, and entry fees. Sweat Equity charts the rise of the movement, through the eyes of competitors and the companies that serve them. Through conversations with businesspeople, many driven by their own fitness obsessions, and first-hand accounts of the sports themselves, Kelly delves into how the movement is taking shape.

Inside the Reagan White House -...

Frank Lavin

An inside look at the most successful president of modern times. 
 
 
 
What makes a good White House memoir? The right mix of personal stories, insight on the president, discussion of policy and historical events, and crazy, colorful anecdotes that capture the reader's attention. 
 
 
 
Inside the Reagan White House has all this—plus a vivid take on the Reagan assassination attempt, Gorbachev and the Reykjavik summit, Ollie North and the Contras, the 1988 Bush-Dukakis contest—and other critical moments of that era. 
 
 
 
Original insight on Ronald Reagan, as well as discussions of cabinet members and others, are interspersed with personal anecdotes, off-hand comments, and unique family details that historians and general audiences will love. 
 
 
 
On the colorful side, the action moves from movie stars to Soviet spies to (literal) knife fights, neo-Nazis, plain old Nazis, intimate affairs, fights on planes, and con men chased by INTERPOL. 
 
 
 
And at the heart of the story are the thousands of dedicated, patriotic Americans who helped Ronald Reagan as he worked to push back against the Soviet Union, promote democracy, improve trade, lower taxes, and reduce the size and scope of government.
