![]() ![]() ![]() We have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. We have been told it’s impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it-it just requires breaking every rule in the “free-market” playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies. We have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate. In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth. The convenient truth is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. The really inconvenient truth is that it’s not about carbon-it’s about capitalism. ![]() : Forget everything you think you know about global warming. ![]()

The astonishing case captured the imagination of the Continent. The Inventive Peasant Arnaud du Tilh had almost persuaded the learned judges at the Parlement of Toulouse, when on a summer's day in 1560 a man swaggered into the court on a wooden leg, denounced Arnaud, and reestablished his claim to the identity, property, and wife of Martin Guerre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Isaacson quickly sketches Leonardo's early life as the illegitimate son of a middle-class notary. Thanks to his innovative use of source materials, Walter Isaacson has done just that in his latest biography, Leonardo da Vinci. When tackling such a well-known figure, it takes both skill and creativity to share new insights with readers. In November 2017, Salvator Mundi, which still has experts disagreeing over whether Leonardo actually painted it, sold for a record-breaking $450 million. ![]() The name Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most recognized in all of Western history, and his paintings are some of the most beloved works of the Renaissance. Borrowing from Leonardo da Vinci's own notebooks, Walter Isaacson paints a compelling portrait of the dazzling genius. ![]() |
