Hardback. Zustand: Good. New York Times BestsellerNational Bestseller With Sapiens and Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari first explored the past, then the future of humankind, garnering the praise of no less than Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, to name a few, and selling millions of copies in the over 30 countries it was published. In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, he devotes himself to the present. 21 Lessons For the 21st Century provides a kind of instruction manual for the present day to help readers find their way around the 21st century, to understand it, and to focus on the really important questions of life. Once again, Harari presents this in the distinctive, informal, and entertaining style that already characterized his previous books. The topics Harari examines in this way include major challenges such as international terrorism, fake news, and migration, as well as turning to more personal, individual concerns, such as our time for leisure or how much pressure and stress we can take. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century answers the overarching question: What is happening in the world today, what is the deeper meaning of these events, and how can we individually steer our way through them? The questions include what the rise of Trump signifies, whether or not God is back, and whether nationalism can help solve problems like global warming. Few writers of non-fiction have captured the imagination of millions of people in quite the astonishing way Yuval Noah Harari has managed, and in such a short space of time. His unique ability to look at where we have come from and where we are going has gained him fans from every corner of the globe. There is an immediacy to this new book which makes it essential reading for anyone interested in the world today and how to navigate its turbulent waters.…

Ken Dryden's The Game is acknowledged as the best book about hockey, and one of the best books about sports ever written.

Now, in his most powerful and important book yet, Game Change, Ken Dryden tells the riveting story of one player's life, examines the intersection between science and sport, and expertly documents the progression of the game of hockey--where it began, how it got to where it is, where it can go from here and, just as exciting to play and watch, how it can get there.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In this broad-scoped, inside-Ottawa memoir, Thomas d'Aquino, described by Peter C. Newman as 'the most powerful influence on public policy formation in Canadian history,' offers personal insights on four decades of bold leadership at the apex of power. A transforming force in redefining the role of business and the shaping of responsible capitalism, Canada's private sector architect of the free trade agreement with the United States, bold defender of national unity, and passionate environmentalist, he has been at the centre of every major policy debate that has influenced contemporary Canada. Referred to by his peers as 'Canada's leading business ambassador', his memoir chronicles exploits on five continents and describes how he has championed Canada's place as an economic player on the world stage. His insights on leadership are timeless, honed from relationships with six Canadian prime ministers (including Pierre Trudeau, for whom he worked as special assistant), over 1500 chief executives, and dozens of global leaders. Beyond business and public policy, Thomas d'Aquino's fascinating adventures in the world of voluntarism and the arts reveal a great deal about the soul of this remarkable Canadian.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Salah Bachir, who immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the 1960s, has been a gay activist who has worked in the film world for over four decades. While this has given him undeniable front-row access to Hollywood's biggest stars, it is Salah's personal charm and kindness, his philanthropy, his overall style (think hats, scarves, brooches, pearls, diamonds) and deep involvement in the art world that has made him a friend, companion, confidante, and/or lover to so many - including Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Joan Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Edward Albee, Orson Welles, Aretha Franklin, Norman Jewison, and Elizabeth Taylor - although it's true that Katharine Hepburn once turned him down, very nicely. Collected here in this wonderful book are personal stories of them all - some short, some long, some surprising, others juicy, and all fascinating. Through them we get to know Salah, a larger-than-life character that embodies the many worlds he shapes - the kind of person it would be hard to make up if he didn't already exist.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Michael Coren's profound spiritual and personal change of heart is the subject of Epiphany; how and why it happened; and how the Christian doctrine, when studied closely and without bias, heartily supports his findings. As a middle-aged, very white, very straight, very Christian man, he was obliged, first reluctantly and then eagerly, to explore the complex dynamic between faith and homosexuality and to build a new narrative, the crux of which is: God is love. Honest, brave and rigorous in its scholarship, Epiphany is a ground-breaking book.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER The founder of Girls Who Code and bestselling author of Brave, Not Perfect confronts the big lie of corporate feminism and presents a bold plan to address the burnout and inequity harming America's working women today. We told women that to break glass ceilings and succeed in their careers, all they needed to do is dream big, raise their hands, and lean in. But data tells a different story. Historic numbers of women left their jobs in 2021, resulting in their lowest workforce participation since 1988. Women's unemployment rose to nearly fifteen percent, and globally women lost over $800 billion in wages. Fifty-one percent of women say that their mental health has declined, while anxiety and depression rates have skyrocketed. In this urgent and rousing call to arms, Reshma Saujani dismantles the myth of having it all and lifts the burden we place on individual women to be primary caregivers, and to work around a system built for and by men. The time has come, she argues, for innovative corporate leadership, government intervention, and sweeping culture shift; it's time to Pay Up. Through powerful data and personal narrative, Saujani shows that the cost of inaction--for families, for our nation's economy, and for women themselves--is too great to ignore. She lays out four key steps for creating lasting change: empower working women, educate corporate leaders, revise our narratives about what it means to be successful, and advocate for policy reform. Both a direct call to action for business leaders and a pragmatic set of tools for women themselves, Pay Up offers a bold vision for change as America defines the future of work.…
