Summary

In "An Observer in the Near East," William Le Queux presents an incisive and vivid exploration of the socio-political landscapes of the early 20th-century Middle East. His narrative intertwines personal observations with broader cultural and historical contexts, skillfully employing a prose style that reflects both journalistic rigor and literary flair. Le Queux's astute depictions of the region's shifting dynamics, influenced by imperial interests and burgeoning nationalism, illuminate the complexities and contradictions of Near Eastern societies during a period of significant upheaval. William Le Queux, a British journalist and author renowned for his travel writings, was highly attuned to the socio-political currents of his time. His extensive travels throughout Europe and the Near East, coupled with his experiences in international espionage, uniquely positioned him to dissect the intricacies of the region. The insights gleaned from his experiences not only inform the authenticity of his observations but also reflect his preoccupation with the consequences of colonialism and national identity. "An Observer in the Near East" is highly recommended for readers interested in travel literature, historical political analysis, and the complexities of cultural interactions. Le Queux's penetrating observations resonate with contemporary issues, making this work a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone seeking to understand the enduring legacy of colonial encounters in the region.

    America's Great-Power...

    It has become axiomatic to contend that U.S. foreign policy must adapt to an era of renewed "great-power competition." The United States went on a quarter-century strategic detour after the Cold War, the argument goes, basking in triumphalism and getting bogged down in the Middle East. Now China and Russia are increasingly challenging its influence and undercutting the order it has led since 1945. How should it respond to these two formidable authoritarian powers? 
 
 
 
In this timely intervention, Ali Wyne offers the first detailed critique of great-power competition as a foreign policy framework, warning that it could render the United States defensive and reactive. He exhorts Washington to find a middle ground between complacence and consternation, selectively contesting Beijing and Moscow but not allowing their decisions to determine its own course. Analyzing a resurgent China, a disruptive Russia, and a deepening Sino-Russian entente, Wyne explains how the United States can seize the "great-power opportunity" at hand: to manage all three of those phenomena confidently while renewing itself at home and abroad.

    Get the best from accelerating social change with the new audiobook from the bestselling author of 2030 and “acclaimed thought leader” (Kirkus), Mauro Guillén. Adam Grant praises how the book "invites us to rethink our careers, our families, and our future plans.” Find out why business leaders and bestselling authors around the world are calling it "sharply relevant and necessary" (William P. Lauder), "insightful and deeply researched" (Richard Florida), and "a must read" (Mohammed A. El-Erian). In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends – increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others – are transforming life as we now know it.In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030 Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials” – individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience – makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. Guillén unveils how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer. This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by the perennials.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
