Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A concise and timely account of Hitlersand fascismsrise to power and ultimate defeat, from one of Americas most famous journalists. American journalist and author William L. Shirer was a correspondent for six years in Nazi Germanyand had a front-row seat to Hitlers mounting influence. His most definitive work on the subject, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, is a riveting account defined by first-person experience interviewing Hitler, watching his impassioned speeches, and living in a country transformed by war and dictatorship. Shirer was originally commissioned to write The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler for a young adult audience. This account loses none of the immediacy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reichcapturing Hitlers ascendence from obscurity, the horror of Nazi Germanys mass killings, and the paranoia and insanity that marked the fUEhrers downfall. This book is by no means simplifiedand is sure to appeal to adults as well as young people with an interest in World War II history. For nearly 100 years William L Shirer has spoken to us of fascism, Nazis, and Hitler . . . [He] tells the unvarnished truth as he experienced it . . . I figured this school-type book wasnt going to tell me anything new. But when I started reading, I realized that I wasnt reading for the facts anymore. I listened to his story and heard the urgency in his voice: a voice from nearly 60 years ago telling us the truth about today.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The famous war correspondent delivers an edge-of-your seat account of the naval chase and battle to take out one of Hitlers most powerful warships. The Bismarck wasnt just any warship. Its guns were much stronger and more accurate than any others in its day--meaning it could easily sink enemy ships without getting in range of their fire. It was one of Hitlers most powerful weapons, and the Allied forces had to put it out of commission--before they lost the war. With the fate of the world in the balance, Allied forces chased the Bismarck across the stormy North Atlantic--culminating in a thrilling sea battle that changed the course of World War II. Unfolding with the taut suspense of a blockbuster movie, this book brings the excitement and danger of World War II to younger audiences--and demonstrates William L. Shirers mastery as a writer of history and a spinner of tales. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Midnight Cowboy is considered by many to be one of the best American novels published since World War II. The main story centers around Joe Buck, a naive but eager and ambitious young Texan, who decides to leave his dead-end job in search of a grand and glamorous life he believes he will find in New York City. But the city turns out to be a much more difficult place to negotiate than Joe could ever have imagined. He soon finds himself and his dreams compromised. Bucks fall from innocence and his relationship with the crippled street hustler Ratso Rizzo form the novels emotional nucleus. This unlikely pairing of Ratso and Joe Buck is perhaps one of the most complex portraits of friendship in contemporary literature. The focus on male friendship follows a strong path cut by Twains Huck and Jim, Melvilles Ishmael and Queequeg, Fitzgeralds Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby, and Kerouacs Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty. Midnight Cowboy takes a well-deserved place among a group of distinguished American novels that writeoften with unnerving candorabout those who live on the fringe of society. Leaves the world of innocence that is muddied by sex for a world that is innocent in the midst of sex, with a protagonist who is a sexual entrepreneur.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A public policy leader addresses how artificial intelligence is transforming the future of labor--and what we can do to protect the role of workers. As computer technology advances with dizzying speed, human workers face an ever-increasing threat of obsolescence. In Human Work In the Age of Smart Machines, Jamie Merisotis argues that we can--and must--rise to this challenge by preparing to work alongside smart machines doing that which only humans can: thinking critically, reasoning ethically, interacting interpersonally, and serving others with empathy. The president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, Merisotis offers a roadmap for the large-scale, radical changes we must make in order to find abundant and meaningful work for ourselves in the 21st century. His vision centers on developing our unique capabilities as humans through learning opportunities that deliver fair results and offer a broad range of credentials. By challenging long-held assumptions and expanding our concept of work, Merisotis argues that we can harness the populations potential, encourage a deeper sense of community, and erase a centuries-long system of inequality.
