Synopsis

In the "UPTON SINCLAIR Ultimate Collection: 30+ Books in One Volume," readers are treated to a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the breadth of Sinclair's literary contributions. Renowned for his muckraking style, Sinclair combines incisive social critique with vivid storytelling, exploring themes of capitalism, social justice, and human dignity. The collection features seminal works such as "The Jungle," which exposes the harsh realities of the meatpacking industry, and "Oil!", which delves into the complexities of greed and morality during the early 20th century. Sinclair's narrative prowess and commitment to sociopolitical reform make this anthology not just a collection but a mirror reflecting the societal challenges of his time. Upton Sinclair emerged from a progressive background; his experiences as a socialist and his journalistic endeavors deeply influenced his writing. A fervent advocate for the working class, Sinclair aspired to elevate societal awareness and prompt reform through literature. His firsthand knowledge of the struggles faced by the marginalized and exploited helped shape the fervency and authenticity evident in his narratives. This ultimate collection is an essential read for anyone interested in American literature's intersection with social activism. Sinclair's powerful prose and unflinching examination of capitalism's flaws compel readers to not only reflect on the past but also reconsider contemporary societal issues. Engage with the timeless themes and bold truths that continue to resonate today.

    How is the baton of experience passed from generation to generation? What is transmitted? Ardyn Halter explores the legacy of his late father Roman Halter's experiences of the Holocaust. What is received by the "Second Generation" and how can it be expressed in language or art? A journey to Rwanda to complete a commission to commemorate the Rwandan genocide, and a journey to Poland. The Fire and the Bonfire reveals a close - though also difficult - father-son relationship and explores genocide through art, which leads to unexpected discoveries. 
    "This is a book that needs to be read more than once. Ardyn Halter has written about an agonizingly difficult subject with a painter's eye, a novelist's sense of pace and suspense, a philosophical mind - and he has done it superbly." - Hillel Halkin 
    "...this is powerful. Raw and incredibly sad. Your clear eye and honesty had me gasping for breath at times." - Fergal Keane  
    "A hugely eloquent, painfully honest and insightful text... A work of art to be savoured in its own right." - Monica Bohm-Duchen

    Pop Song Piracy - Disobedient...

    The music industry’s ongoing battle against digital piracy is just the latest skirmish in a long conflict over who has the right to distribute music. Starting with music publishers’ efforts to stamp out bootleg compilations of lyric sheets in 1929, Barry Kernfeld’s Pop Song Piracy details nearly a century of disobedient music distribution from song sheets to MP3s. 
      
    In the 1940s and ’50s, Kernfeld reveals, song sheets were succeeded by fake books, unofficial volumes of melodies and lyrics for popular songs that were a key tool for musicians. Music publishers attempted to wipe out fake books, but after their efforts proved unsuccessful they published their own. Pop Song Piracy shows that this pattern of disobedience, prohibition, and assimilation recurred in each conflict over unauthorized music distribution, from European pirate radio stations to bootlegged live shows. Beneath this pattern, Kernfeld argues, there exists a complex give and take between distribution methods that merely copy existing songs (such as counterfeit CDs) and ones that transform songs into new products (such as file sharing). Ultimately, he contends, it was the music industry’s persistent lagging behind in creating innovative products that led to the very piracy it sought to eliminate.

    From the onset, the Nazi party were obsessed with the world of the occult. They scoured the globe in search of the weapons that would enable them to conquer the world and build their 1000 Year Reich. 
     
    From the Holy Grail to the lance that pierced the side of Christ... From Tibet to the Antarctic... no region or mythological device was ignored. 
     
    They turned the planet inside out looking for something ancient, something the Nazi elite called "the most powerful weapon"... a weapon that would instill such awe that it would cause the entire world to surrender overnight. 
     
    And then suddenly during the Second World War and perhaps even years before, the Nazi's achieved a massive leap in technology, so great that many have questioned where this Nazi science originated.

    In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. 
     
     
     
    Kimberly Kay Hoang conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones. 
     
     
     
    Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.
