  This is small part of introduction of the book: In the realm of spiritual leadership and global influence, few figures command as much reverence and admiration as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. Born in 1935 in the quaint town of Takster, Amdo, Tibet, his journey has been a tapestry woven with threads of profound wisdom, unwavering compassion, and a commitment to peace that has resonated far beyond the borders of his homeland. 
  This biography seeks to unravel the layers of the Dalai Lama's life, providing a comprehensive exploration of the man behind the title. As we embark on this literary journey, we will traverse the significant chapters of his existence — from the early years of recognition as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama to his escape from the Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1959, which marked a pivotal turning point in his life. 
  Beyond the geopolitical landscape, we will delve into the Dalai Lama's educational pursuits, shedding light on the intellectual foundations that shaped his spiritual outlook. His commitment to learning and deepening his understanding of Buddhist philosophy has been a cornerstone of his leadership, paving the way for a spiritual journey that transcends the boundaries of tradition and embraces the universality of human experience.

  The Isolated Presidency

  How powerful is the President of the United States? For many scholars, this is a question that can be answered only by considering factors outside the office itself, such as the president's popularity, personal clout, political talents, or institutional relationships. 
   
   
   
  In The Isolated Presidency, Jordan T. Cash reframes this question to instead ask what authority is available to all presidents. Drawing on the Constitution itself, Cash argues that the presidency possesses an internal logic derived from its structure, duties, and powers which not only grants the president a unique institutional perspective, but also provides the president with considerable agency and discretion in pursuing agendas. 
   
   
   
  To gain a clear view of how the Constitution creates a baseline of authority that is available to all presidents, Cash examines the "isolated presidents"—presidents who were unelected, faced divided government, and were opposed by major factions of their own political parties. Stripped of all external supports, these presidents were left with nothing but their constitutional authority to rely on. Through three case studies of isolated presidents, Cash illustrates how the Constitution creates an empowering logic within the presidency which orients presidential behavior and grants every president significant power and agency.

  FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED
  
  'The finest Fergie book of them all' – Tom English, BBC Sport
  
  When Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2013 season he was the most successful football manager Britain had ever seen, having won twice as many trophies as his nearest rival. But that success had not come easily. Thirty-five years previously he had arrived at the rain-swept training ground at Aberdeen F.C. as the recently sacked manager of St Mirren. Already a divisive figure, this Alex Ferguson came with a reputation for trouble and a lot still to prove. Not for nothing, many thought he was a risky choice.
  
  Fergie Rises returns to a time when Ferguson was lucky to get Aberdeen, not the other way around. It's the story of an eight-year revolution that saw the Dons and their ambitious young manager knock the Old Firm off their perch, taste victory in Europe for the first time, and electrify Scottish football. When Ferguson finally left the club for Manchester United, in 1986, fans and rivals were unanimous in believing he had engineered one of the most astonishing upheavals in the game’s history.
  
  The author also examines the personal tragedies Ferguson overcame – the deaths of his father and his mentor Jock Stein – and the rivalries, setbacks and triumphs that shaped a sporting genius.
  
  'A masterful retelling of how Ferguson was "made" at Aberdeen' – Alan Pattullo, The Scotsman

  In this humorous and honest poetry collection, ‘Princess of Hip Hop’ Ashanti shares her unique perspective on life and love. Foolish/Unfoolish is a collection of vibrant and honest "reflections on love" by R&B singer Ashanti. Ever since she was thirteen years old, Ashanti has kept journals of her poetry, thoughts, and ideas about life and love. Now, in this very personal collection, Ashanti presents her poems about love, along with stories about what (or who) moved her to write them. In Foolish/Unfoolish, Ashanti explores such universal themes as falling head-over-heels in love, becoming insanely jealous, feeling broken-hearted, and being single but having hope for the future. In "No Words," she describes being completely addicted to a new boyfriend; in "Ride Out," she captures what it feels like to be joyriding with your man on a hot summer night; in "Insecure," she writes about telling a suspicious boyfriend to stop driving by her house at night to see if her car is there; and in "Us," she delves into the pain of discovering that your man is cheating on you. Spirited, moving and often filled with humor, Ashanti's poetry and reflections will entertain and surprise as they offer an intimate look into the life of one of today's most popular performers. These are works that are both lyrical and raw and which tell the truth about love.
