    Jürgen Said to Me is a human-interest story centred around Liverpool FC's most successful and charismatic leader of recent times. It charts Jürgen Klopp's impact on Liverpool through the voice of the author and those at the heart of his revival. 
     
    In October 2015, Klopp took the helm at Liverpool at a time when the famous club were entering a third decade of league-title drought. The German coach had prospered with his brand of 'heavy-metal football', but little was known about his personality beyond an obvious energy and charisma. He entered a city steeped in personality, history and trauma - a place where the people demand more than a mere coach to lead their clubs. 
     
    Klopp's social influence has stretched to matters such as diversity, the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic and local history. The book explores the human impact of a man who single-handedly harnessed togetherness and the global unity of millions, while reshaping one of the most famous cities in the world.

    "In the land of ice and song, a mystical struggle for the ultimate power begins."
    
    Woven from centuries of Karelian song and legend, The Kalevala tells the story of the creation of the world and the heroic deeds of the eternal shaman-bard Väinämöinen. At its center is the quest for the Sampo—a magical artifact of infinite wealth forged by the master smith Ilmarinen. As the heroes of the South battle the dark forces of Pohjola and its mistress Louhi, Lönnrot creates a tapestry of enchantment, tragedy, and ancient wisdom. Written in the distinctive "Kalevala meter" that inspired Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, this epic is a profound exploration of the power of words, music, and the natural world.
    
    The Quest for the Sampo: The driving force of the epic is the Sampo, a mysterious mill that grinds out flour, salt, and gold. Its forging and eventual theft represent the struggle between civilization and the untamed wilderness, serving as a powerful symbol of Finnish prosperity and identity.
    
    Why It Is a Cultural Masterpiece: The Kalevala did more than preserve folklore; it helped define a nation. Its unique trochaic tetrameter and its reverence for the "magic of singing" make it one of the most rhythmic and hypnotic works in world literature.

    Capitalism and Global Power -...

    This book contains these three titles: 
      - Capitalism and Inequality: Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
      - Economic Impacts of Imperialism: Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders. 
      - Global Capitalism: The roots of global capitalism can be traced to the rise of industrial capitalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, which laid the foundation for an interconnected global economy. With the expansion of imperialism, the development of transportation technologies like steamships and railways, and the establishment of international financial institutions, economic activity increasingly transcended national boundaries.
