Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Bozic, Milan (jacket design); Lagin, Daniel (book design); Druskin, Julia (production manager) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic and color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. "Unflinching and historically grounded, provocative and richly researched, this refreshing, pioneering work delivers a necessary corrective to narrow thinking and relaxed timelines in dealing with China. Beckley and Brands' ideas need to be embraced if we are to effectively manage differences emerging in the increasingly volatile relationship between our two nations." - General Jim Mattis, U.S. Marines (ret.) and 26th Secretary of Defense. "There is bipartisan consensus in Washington that China is the most important long-term strategic challenge for the U.S. Hal Brands and Michael Beckley powerfully argue that an enormously ambitious China is peaking now and confrontation is coming sooner that we think. This well-written, must-read book will add a sense of urgency to the national debate about strategic competition." - Ambassador (ret.) Eric S. Edelman, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy (2005-2009). "Brilliant and engagingly written, this warning by two outstanding scholars is especially timely in light of recent events. Are Americans ready for what may be coming? They will be better prepared if they read this book." - Robert Kagan, author. "Russian aggression notwithstanding, China constitutes the most daunting challenge to U.S. national security and the liberal international order. In this brilliant and urgently important book, Hal Brands and Michael Beckley explain why the threat of war with China will likely peak in this decade - when China's global power and ambition for primacy are swelling just as it faces severe demographic, economic, and political strains on the horizon. Every U.S. foreign policy maker and thinker should read this book and heed their call to rapidly mobilize strategy, strength, and alliances to navigate through this danger zone." - Larry Diamond, Mosbacher Senior Fellow in Global Democracy, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University. "A provocative and urgent analysis of the U.S-China rivalry. It has become conventional wisdom that America and China are running a "superpower marathon" that may last a century. Yet Hal Brands and Micahel Beckley pose a counterintuitive question: What if the sharpest phase of that competition is more like a decade-long sprint? The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the twenty-first century. But both history and China's current trajectory suggest that this rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s. China is at a perilous moment: strong enough to violently challenge the existing order, yet losing confidence that time is on its side. Numerous examples from antiquity to the present show that rising powers become most aggressive when their fortunes fade, their difficulties multiply, and they realize they must achieve their ambitions now or miss the chance to do so forever. China has already started down this path. Witness its aggression toward Taiwan, its recond-breaking military buildup, and its efforts to dominate the critical technologies that will shape the world's future. Over the long run, the Chinese challenge will most likely prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believe - but during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real. America, Brands and Beckly argue, will still need a sustainable approach to winning a protracted global competition. But first, it needs a near-term strategy for navigating the danger zone ahead." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Welch, Chris (book design); Druskin, Julia (production manager); Lops, Joe (prepress production director); Garceau, Pete (jacket design); Liu, Ingsu (art direction) (illustrator). 1st Edition. As new condition blue boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Michael Lewis; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Preface and Acknowledgments. "From the #1 best-selling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, the story of FTX's spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center. When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was crypto's Gatsby and, according to Forbes, the richest person in the world under 30. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaires list. Bankman-Fried's financial goal? Infinity dollars. As he told Lewis on a Berkeley Hills hike, he'd earmarked the cash to solve earth's biggest existential risks, like nuclear war, pandemics, and artificial intelligence turning on mankind. On a more modest level, he toyed with wiping out the national debt of the Bahamas. Lewis hadn't imagined that this unkempt billionaire would be his next subject. Instead, he was meeting Bankman-Fried as a favor to a friend. But by the end of their walk, Lewis was deeply curious about FTX's founder. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side? Lewis decided to find out. "I don't know what's going to happen to you," Lewis said, "but I just want to watch." In Going Infinite, Lewis captures the psychology of a figure who defines an era. For more than a year, Lewis had unparalleled access to Bankman-Fried. He was a fly on the wall during Bankman-Fried's frenetic rise, watching him amass a $22.5 billion fortune in record time. He also witnessed FTX crumble: while employees fled the Bahamas, only Lewis and Bankman-Fried's therapist stayed with the ex-billionaire in his debris-strewn compound. Lewis takes readers on a wild ride through crypto's gold rush, offering an education in high-frequency trading, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the justice system. Author of #1 bestsellers including Liar's Poker, The Big Short, and Flash Boys, Lewis is the greatest chronicler of our financial world. In Going Infinite, he is at the top of his game, tracing the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own - until it all came undone." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Note on Names and Romanization; Prologue: The Center of a World; Epilogue: Ghosts of Old Shanghai; Acknowledgments; Appendix: Shanghai Race Club Champions' Stakes: 1869-1942; Notes; Bibliography; Illustration Credits and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "More captivating than a day at the races, James Carter offers a sweeping ride through Shanghai's tumultuous history.Every visitor to the city should read this book to know whose footsteps came before in People's Square." - Helen Zia, author of Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution. "Champions Day is the work of a seasoned China specialist in top form, delivering engrossing stories, engaging arguments, and enticing details - a cultural history trifecta." - Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom, author of Global Shanghai 1850-2010. "Could it really be possible to encapsulate the nuanced story of old Shanghai in one day? James Carter proves it can and, through the lens of Champions Day, 1941, at the Shanghai Race Club, reveals the myriad histories of this controversial and problematic century-long urban experiment in East-West fusion." - Paul French, bestselling author. "James Carter's account of Shanghai is a gripping tale.To understand the origins of some of the tensions and clashes between China and the West in the present day, this account is essential." - Rana Mitter, author of Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945. "How a Single Day Revealed the History and Foreshadowed the Future of Shanghai. It is November 12, 1941, and the world is at war. In Shanghai, just weeks before Pearl Harbor, thousands celebrate the birthday of China's founding father, Sun Yat-sen, in a new city center built to challenge European imperialism. Across town, crowds of Shanghai residents from all walks of life attend the funeral of China's wealthiest woman, the Chinese-French widow of a Baghdadi Jewish businessman - her death symbolic of the passing of a generation that had seen Shanghai's rise to global prominence. But it is the racetrack that attracts the largest crowd of all. At the center of the International Settlement, the heart of Western colonization - but also of Chinese progressivism, art, commerce, cosmopolitanism, and celebrity - Champions Day unfolds, drawing tens of thousands of Chinese spectators and Europeans alike to bet on the horses. In a sharp and lively snapshot of the day's events, James Carter recaptures the complex history of Old Shanghai. Champions Day is a kaleidoscopic portrait of city poised for revolution." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Includes List of Other Book(s) by Sebastian Junger; Author Dedication; Introduction; Fire (1992) and Acknowledgments. "What is this fascination that roots fire fighers in their tracks while 300-foot flames twist out of a stand of spruce? Why do journalists - I've done this myself - crawl up to front lines even though there's almost no information of any journalistic value there? .Awe is one of those human traits - like love or hate or fear - that overpowers almost everything else we believe in, at least for a little while. Some people experience awe when they are in the presence of what they understand to be God; others experience it during a hurricane or a rocket attack. In a narrow sense, these situations are all the same: they completely override the concerns of our puny human lives. - from the Introduction and inner front jacket flap. "For readers and viewers of The Perfect Storm, opening this long-awaited new work by Sebastian Junger will be like stepping off the deck of the Andrea Gail and into the inferno of a fire burning out of control in the steep canyons of Idaho. Here is the same meticulous prose brough to bear on the inner workings of a terrifying elemental force; here is a cast of characters risking everything in an effort to bring that force under control. Few writers have been to so many desperate corners of the globe as has Sebastian Junger; fewer still have provided such starkly memorable evocations of characters and events. From the murderous mechanics of the diamond trade in Sierra Leone to the logic of guerrilla warfare in Afghanistan and the fornesics of genocide in Kosovo, this new collection of Junger's nonfiction will take you places you wouldn't dream of going to on your own." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Berinsky, Helene (book design); Haggar, Darren (jacket design); Hines, Sherman (jacket photograph); Kitzinger, Adrian (maps); Oler, Anna (production manager) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine condition dark blue boards, navy blue spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Quote by Knud Ramussen, Danish polar explorer; Author Dedication; Chronology; Introduction; Afterword; Acknowledgments; Source Notes; Credits and Index. Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates plus preliminary page black-and-white maps. "The spellbinding story of the greatest cold case in Arctic history - and how the rare mix of marine science and Inuit knowledge finally led to the recent discovery of the shipwrecks. Spanning nearly 200 years, Ice Ghosts is a fast-paced detective story about Western science, indigenous beliefs, and the irrepressible spirit of exploration and discovery. It weaves together an epic account of the legendary Franklin Expedtion of 1845 - whose two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, and their crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice - with the modern tale of the scientists, researchers, divers, and local Inuit behind the recent discoveries of the two ships, which made news around the world. The journalist Paul Watson was on the icebreaker that led the expedition that discovered the HMS Erebus in 2014, and he broke the news of the discovery of the HMS Terror in 2016. In a masterful work of history and contemporary reporting, he tells the full story of the Franklin Expedition: Sir John Franklin and his crew setting off from England in search of the fabled Northwest Passage; the hazards they encountered and the reasons they were forced to abandon ship after getting stuck in the ice hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization; and the dozens of search expeditions over more than 160 years, which collectively have been called "the most extensive, expensive, perverse, and ill-starred.manhund in history." All that searching turned up a legendary trail of sailors' relics, a fabled note, a lifeboat with skeletons lying next to loaded rifles, and rumors of cannibalism.but no sign of the ships until, finally, the discoveries in our own time. As Watson reveals, the epic hunt for the lost Franklin Expedition found success only when searchers combined the latest marine science with faith in Inuit lore that had been passed down orally for generations. Ice Ghosts is narrative nonfiction of the highest order, full of drama and rich in characters: Lady Jane Franklin, who almost single-handedly kep the search alive for decades; an Inuit historian who worked for decades gathering elders' accounts; an American software billionaire who launched his own hunt; and underwater archaeologists honing their skills to help find the ships. Watson also shows how the hunt for the Franklin Expedition was connected to such technological advances as scuba gear and sonar technology, and how it ignited debates over how to preserve the relics discovered with the ships. A modern adventure story that arcs back through history, Ice Ghosts tells the complete and incredible story of the Franklin Expedition - the greatest of Arctic mysteries - for the ages." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
