Peter Liu

Sinopsis

“Peter Liu has actively contributed to identifying new talents and promoting cutting-edge innovations…I am confident that this book will be a sound source of inspiration for many…and that they will be driven by the same spirit of progress and generosity.”
Albert II, Prince of Monaco
Venture capitalist, global citizen, pioneer.
From a military dependents’ village in central Taiwan to the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland for the World Economic Forum and beyond. This is a story of success, fearless innovation, and vision.
Based on interviews with Peter’s friends, colleagues, family, and Peter himself, Beyond takes us on a tour of Peter’s journey, from his role in the Taiwan Economic Miracle and his founding of leading venture capital firm WI Harper, to his bridging of the Greater China Region with the US and later involvement in the development of nuclear fusion technology. All for future generations, for Taiwan, for the world.
In this authorized biography of one of Taiwan’s most influential venture capitalists, we are offered a complete picture of the bold, charismatic, warm-hearted, and down-to-earth man behind the success – a man equally at home in the back of a taxi on a dusty road in China as dining with sparkling company on the French Riviera.
Prepare to meet visionary businessman Peter Liu and discover his life and legacy in venture capital and beyond…

“It’s not easy to find a friend like Peter, with his experience, wisdom and balanced thinking. I am thankful for the moment that I met him. It has significant added value to know someone like Peter. His vision and plans are very productive.”
Turki Almadi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the People's Republic of China

The Year of the Dog

Sophia Money-Coutts

‘Absolute heaven.’ Jilly Cooper
A hilarious and heartfelt year following one woman and her puppy – from chaos and tears to healing and new beginnings. It’s a love story, but not as you know it.
Raising a puppy is simple: feed them, walk them, love them. Right? Wrong.
Armed with Pinterest-perfect plans and firm ideas about training, Sophia brings Dennis – a scruffy and defiant Parson terrier – into her life. But just as the puppy pads hit the floor, the rest of her world falls apart.
Suddenly single and quietly unravelling, Sophia finds herself solo parenting a tiny, gleeful agent of chaos who devours foam earplugs, destroys her shoes, and has an alarming taste for spiders. He’s also the only thing keeping her afloat.
As the months roll by in a haze of dodgy first dates, sleepless nights and meltdowns in the park, Sophia begins to make sense of it all: the grief of a life that didn’t go to plan, the weirdness of being single in your late thirties, and the surprising ways love shows up when you least expect it.
By the end of their first year together, Dennis hasn’t just wrecked the furniture — he’s quietly rebuilt her life.
For anyone who’s ever been through shattering heartbreak, this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy, and the quiet wonder of a small body curled beside you when it matters most.
Sophia Money-Coutts The Year of the Dog is a top pick for anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and the healing power of pets. This autobiography is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of friendship and family.

Traveling Without Moving -...

Taiyon J. Coleman

Amid the White smiles of Minnesota Nice and the Minnesota Paradox—the insidious racism of an ostensibly inclusive place to live—what do you do? If you're Taiyon J. Coleman, you write. 
 
 
 
In Traveling without Moving, Coleman shares intimate essays from her life: her childhood in Chicago—growing up in poverty with four siblings and a single mother—and the empowering decision to leave her first marriage. She writes about being the only Black student in a prestigious and predominantly White creative writing program, about institutional racism and implicit bias in writing instruction, about the violent legacies of racism in the US housing market, about the maternal health disparities seen across the country and their implication in her own miscarriage. She explores what it means to write her story and that of her family—an act at once a responsibility and a privilege—bringing forth the inherent contradictions between American ideals and Black reality. 
 
 
 
Using a powerful blend of perspectives that move between a first-person lens of lived experience and a wider-ranging critique of US culture, policy, and academia, Coleman's writing evinces how a Black woman in America is always on the run, always Harriet Tubman, traveling with her babies in tow, seeking safety, desperate to survive, thrive, and finally find freedom.
