Sinossi

"Transparency Requirements" explores the critical role of government transparency in modern democracy, focusing on how transparency laws, like the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), function in practice. It highlights that while access to information is unprecedented, misinformation poses challenges to government accountability. The book investigates the legal landscape governing access to public records, including the procedures for requesting information and the obligations of government agencies to disclose data. Did you know that transparency legislation originated in post-World War II efforts? These laws have evolved significantly, driven by investigative journalism and demands for accountability. The book adopts a combined approach of legal analysis and practical guidance, making it valuable for a broad audience, including journalists, students, and concerned citizens. It progresses logically, beginning with core concepts and then delving into specific aspects of FOIA, access procedures, and agency responsibilities. It also addresses current challenges like the rise of "fake news" and the increasing need for international cooperation. The central argument emphasizes that robust transparency laws are vital for fostering public trust.

    Will we lose our imagination in the age of artificial intelligence? 
    We are living through the most rapid transformation in human history. Artificial Intelligence is redefining intelligence, creativity, and even the boundaries of what it means to be human. But as machines grow smarter, humanity faces a deeper challenge—one that cannot be solved by algorithms or data. 
    In Raising Dreamers, author, researcher, and futurist Wylde Scott offers a bold and urgent thesis: Our survival as a species depends not on our intelligence, but on our imagination. 
    Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and decades of creative research, Scott explores the imagination as both a biological function and a societal force—one capable of shaping the future of innovation, purpose, and human connection. Through clear frameworks and compelling storytelling, he reveals how imagination can be intentionally cultivated in children and adults alike to build resilience, adaptability, and meaning in an increasingly automated world. 
    Learn how to:Cultivate imagination to enhance creativity, resilience, and purposeShift education from memorization to imagination to helping children thrive in a future where curiosity and creativity define successUse the power of play, creativity, and empathy to restore meaning and resilience in the digital eraDiscover purpose and the power of human connection to preserve the very essence of the human experience for generations to come 
    Raising Dreamers redefines how we think about learning, intelligence, and the future of humanity. It is a manifesto for parents, educators, and leaders who believe that technology should serve—not replace—the boundless potential of the human mind. 
    To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.

    The Times Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the YearAn entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics from Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had.'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The book is a lesson in just that' – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain.From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.'An engaging canter through postwar Britain . . . shaped by a lifetime of reading' – Prospect

There are three keys to being a leader: be, know, do. Who a leader is (values such as loyalty and integrity), what a leader knows (about the world, about her- or himself ), and what a leader does (action) are all vitally important for successful leaders.

    The ISPI Report 2026 portrays a world of "anything goes": a world that seems to have lost its brakes, its rules, and its compass. Donald Trump's return to the White House has accelerated the deregulation of global coexistence, at a time when the post-Cold War order is crumbling without any credible alternative taking shape. In this context, the likelihood of major conflicts is rising, diplomacy is often understood as coercion, alliances have become more fluid, and multilateral institutions are increasingly weakened.
    From the arms race to the climate crisis, from the fragmentation of trade to technological competition, this Annual Report provides an essential lens for understanding why freedom without rules risks turning into permanent disorder.

    The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
     
     
     
    Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
     
     
     
    Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
