Inside the Cartel: How an Undercover FBI Agent Smuggled Cocaine, Laundered Cash, and Dismantled a Colombian Narco-Empire
by Ian Frisch Martin Suarez“Truth is always stranger than fiction. . . A stunning, riveting and extraordinary real-life story of life in the shadows." –#1 International Bestselling Author Don WinslowThe gripping true story, that reads like fiction, of how legendary FBI Special Agent Martin Suarez went deep undercover—and lived a double-life for years—to infiltrate Colombia's most insidious drug cartels.Martin Suarez, a legend within the FBI who specialized in Colombian drug cartels, holds the record for the longest time spent continuously undercover. As his alter ego Manny, Martin followed the unspoken rules of the cartels: He knew the right lingo to use, the right whiskey to drink, the right watch to wear, the wrong questions to ask. He smuggled over $1 billion worth of cocaine into the United States for the Medellín Cartel and, as his cover deepened, he graduated to become a high-level money launderer for the North Coast Cartel. He helped wash tens of millions of dollars worth of drug money, ensnaring himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse while simultaneously exposing the Black Market Peso Exchange, the most insidious money laundering apparatus in the world that involved billionaire bankers, blue-chip American corporations, and even the President of Colombia himself.Martin was raised by a father who served in the military and valorized the nobility of the FBI, and Martin stopped at nothing to allow his father to live vicariously through his son. He wanted nothing more than to make his father proud—and to be a good husband to his wife, and a loving father to his two young sons. He became a man caught between two worlds—that of an undercover agent who wanted to rid the world of its evils, but also that of a family man who was trying not to lose himself in this dark, brutal underworld that captivated the globe during the War on Drugs.And yet his worlds begin to collide as danger creeps dangerously close to his doorstep when his cover is blown and a cartel-hired sicario comes hunting for him.Inside the Cartel is told with the pulse-racing action of a Hollywood blockbuster. This is the story of Suarez and his time undercover and how maintaining the trust of hardened criminals can start to tear away at even the most principled soldier.
A People's History of the United States: 1492-present (P. S. Series #1)
by Howard ZinnTHE CLASSIC NATIONAL BESTSELLER"A wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." –Howard FastHistorian Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States chronicles American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official narrative taught in schools—with its emphasis on great men in high places—to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, it is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of—and in the words of—America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles—the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality—were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. This edition also includes an introduction by Anthony Arnove, who wrote, directed, and produced The People Speak with Zinn and who coauthored, with Zinn, Voices of a People’s History of the United States.

Night People: How to Be a DJ in '90s New York City
by Mark RonsonCapturing the music, characters, escapades, and energy of his DJ days, a profound memoir from seven-time Grammy-winning record producer Mark Ronson. Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, the Barbie soundtrack—behind some of the biggest musical moments in the past two decades is one man: Mark Ronson. Night People conjures the undeniable magic of the city's bygone nightlife—a time when clubs were diverse, glamorous, and a little lawless, and each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibility. It's about the beauty of what you can create with just two Technics and a mixer, in a golden era before Giuliani, camera phones, and bottle service upended everything. It's also about a teenager finding his way—stalking DJ Stretch Armstrong and biting his mixes, crate-digging in every corner of New York, grinding gig after gig through a decade of incredible music—and finding a community of people who, in their own strange, cracked ways, lived for the night. Organized around the venues that defined his experience of the downtown scene, Ronson evokes the specific rush of that decade and those spaces—where fashion folks and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers—and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of '90s New York nightlife and the making of a musical mastermind.

Into the Unknown: The Quest to Understand the Mysteries of the Cosmos
by Kelsey JohnsonA leading astronomer and gifted teacher takes readers on a wondrous tour—"perfect for anyone who enjoyed Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" (Publishers Weekly)—of how science confronts the big questions about the origins, destiny, and fundamental nature of our universe Humans have learned a lot about the world around us and the universe beyond. We have made powerful insights and created profound theories about the universe and everything in it. Surely the ultimate theory must be waiting, just beyond our current knowledge. Well, maybe. In Into the Unknown, astrophysicist Kelsey Johnson takes us to the edge of scientific understanding about the universe: What caused the Big Bang? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimensions? She doesn&’t just celebrate what we know but rather what we don&’t, and asks what it means if we never find that knowledge. Exploring the convergence of science, philosophy, and theology, Johnson argues we must reckon with possibilities—including those that may be beyond human comprehension. The very places where we run smack into total ignorance are the places where the most important questions—about the philosophy of knowledge, the nature of our cosmos, and even the existence of God—await. As accessible as it is profound, Into the Unknown invites each of us to join in the great quest for knowledge.

So You Want to Own Greenland?: Lessons from the Vikings to Trump
by Elizabeth BuchananWhy have foreigners over the centuries kept wanting to own Greenland? The fascinating, calamitous story of the many who&’ve tried . . . and uniformly failed . . .An indispensable guide to Greenland—why it matters, and how it could become the next global flashpoint.Ever since its discovery Greenland has been a frontier for human exploration, empire and geostrategic competition. This book delves into that rich history and complex politics, revealing how a country of just 56,000 inhabitants, 80% of which is above the Arctic Circle, has shaped—and been shaped by—the world.Elizabeth Buchanan&’s short history begins with Erik the Red and the Vikings, Greenland&’s first colonizers—whose settlement of over 2,000 people mysteriously disappeared. She explores the island&’s evolution from a Danish possession into an autonomous territory, and its role in the World War II, when soldiers from the U.S. helped Greenland&’s 15-man army, operating on dogsleds, capture Nazis trying to set up secret, remote surveillance outposts. She details how Greenland became a strategic hot spot in the Cold War arms race between the U.S. and Russia — when the U.S. built a nuclear-powered base under the Greenland icesheet, and President Kennedy devised Project Iceworm, a plan to deploy 600 ballistic ice-hidden missiles there.Finally, she dissects Greenland&’s position today at the center of a new &“great game,&” featuring Cold War belligerents the U.S. and Russia and now China, and the mounting domestic pressures for independence—not to mention President Trump&’s agenda to acquire the landmass.Buchanan poses provocative yet compelling scenarios for Greenland&’s future, providing an essential read for anyone curious about this frozen frontier and its place on the world stage.

Searching for Normal: A New Approach to Understanding Mental Health, Distress, and Neurodiversity
by Sami TimimiFrom an eminent child psychologist, a radical reframing of how we need to think about mental health.What the general public are being told about the nature of mental health is misleading and may be harming our collective sense of well-being. Mental health ideology may be the biggest and most powerful cause of mental health problems today. Dr. Sami Timimi explains why he believes this to be the case and what we can, at an individual and collective level, do about it.More and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and mental disorders.Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be as entirely normal in other parts of the world.Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media, and the psychiatric establishment.So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treated?In Searching for Normal, Dr. Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and proposes an alternative, a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole--their family context, their culture, their personal resilience--and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.
Historical Atlas of the Third Reich
by Richard OveryFormally inaugurated in Potsdam in 1933, the Third Reich was regarded by Hitler as the greatest in a line of might German empires. His mystical belief that this empire would last a thousand years proved unfounded, but not before a world war which resulted in the loss of at least 70 million lives. This atlas charts the rise and fall of Hitler's Nazi state, from the first mass meeting of the NSDAP in Munich in 1920, through the relentless territorial aggression and anti0Jewish atrocities of World War II, to the execution of war criminals in Nuremburg in 1946.The Historical Atlas of the Third Reich offers penetrating insights into the seemingly inexorable rise of National Socialism and examines the nature of Hitler's power structures both within his party and within Germany as a whole.
I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To: A Love and Lawfare Story in Trump Land
by Peter Navarro Bonnie BrennerThey locked him up to send a message. This book sends one right back. When senior Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro refused to kneel before the Democrats&’ rigged J6 witch hunt, they came for him with guns and handcuffs. Ambushed by five armed FBI agents at Reagan airport, shackled in leg irons, and strip-searched, Navarro became the first ever top presidential aide in US history to be put in federal prison for defending the Constitution. I Went to Prison So You Won&’t Have To presents Peter&’s raw, unfiltered account of what really happens when the American justice system is weaponized for political revenge. Told through a powerful exchange of personal letters between Peter and his fiancée, this book pulls back the curtain on a corrupt and bloated federal prison system in which Trump-era reform laws are ignored, taxpayer dollars are wasted by the billions, and families are torn apart. This isn&’t just Navarro&’s story. It&’s a warning to every American: If rabid partisans can weaponize our justice system to imprison a senior White House official for doing his job, no citizen is truly safe. Candid, defiant, and deeply personal, I Went to Prison So You Won&’t Have To delivers a searing indictment of the Left&’s lawfare machine—and a stirring defense of freedom, love, and constitutional principle in the face of overwhelming injustice. If they can come for Peter, they can come for you. Read this book. Before it&’s too late.
Little Book of Environment and Restorative Justice: A Multidimensional Approach to Undoing Settler Harms (Justice and Peacebuilding)
by Wanbli Wapháha Hokšíla Nirson Medeiros da Silva Neto João Salm Josineide Gadelha Pamplona MedeirosA restorative approach to environmental justice. This little book discusses paths to address environmental conflicts based on a restorative justice perspective of imagining, practicing, and living justice. It proposes an approach that understands the relationship between humankind and environment beyond the narrow conception of homo economicus, considering the human beings in their social, political, economic, historic, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and ecological dimensions, as well as in their connection with nature and non-human entities. When applied to environmental problematics, restorative justice needs to widen its perspective beyond an anthropocentric worldview, transcending the interpretation that human beings are the exclusively subjects of dignity, rights, needs, and speech capability. It is necessary to dilate horizons towards non-human entities and the natural spaces we inhabit and with whom we are deeply connected. This dilation should stimulate justice experiences that integrate building peace, sustainability, and good living, beyond ideas such as unlimited economic growth and even sustainable development. To this end, a restorative conception of justice implies an expanded understanding of justice that faces structural, cultural, institutional, and historical violence, as well as deals with intergenerational responsibility that integrate the present generations to those of the past in order to build the desired future for the generations to come.
