Halliburtons Army is the first book to show, in shocking detail, how Halliburton really does business in Iraq and around the world. From its vital role as the logistical backbone of the U.S. occupation in Iraq to its role in covering up gang-rape amongst its personnel in Baghdad, Halliburtons Army is a devastating bestiary of corporate malfeasance and political cronyism.

Dopo "Le 48 leggi del potere" e "Le 33 strategie della guerra", Robert Greene ritorna con un'altra indagine, questa volta intorno alla seduzione intesa come una delle più sottili, sfuggenti ed efficaci forme di potere. Uno studio condotto attraverso l'analisi della personalità di alcuni grandi seduttori della storia - da Cleopatra a JFK, da Ovidio a Casanova - e dei classici sull'argomento - da Kierkegaard a Freud - in cui l'autore svela le regole di un gioco amorale e senza tempo, e spiega come "stregare" il nostro "obiettivo", far crollare le sue difese e, infine, costringerlo ad arrendersi.

Natural resources empower the world's most coercive men. Autocrats like Putin and the Saudis spend oil money on weapons and repression. ISIS and Congo's militias spend resource money on atrocities and ammunition. For decades resource-fueled authoritarians and extremists have forced endless crises on the West - and the ultimate source of their resource money is us, paying at the gas station and the mall.

Fashion is many things. It is self-expression, big business, trend-setting, a lifestyle choice. But however you see fashion, it relies on one simple characteristic: the incredible speed with which clothes make their journey from the drawing board to the High Street hanger. Fashion is fast. Fast fashion influences the types of garments we have in our wardrobes.

Welcome to the George Inn near London Bridge; a cosy, wood-panelled, galleried coaching house a few minutes' walk from the Thames. Consider this: who else has made this their local over the last 600 years? Chaucer and his fellow pilgrims almost certainly drank in the George on their way to Canterbury. Shakespeare may have popped in from the nearby Globe, and we know that Dickens definitely did. Mail carriers changed their horses here, while sailors drank here before sailing.

Negotiation is the most important skill you can develop to get what you want in business and life. But we often struggle to do it effectively. We fail to recognise opportunities, we prepare poorly or we let ourselves be led by others or by our own fear.

In Nature’s Fortune, Mark Tercek, CEO of The Nature Conservancy and former investment banker, and science writer Jonathan Adams argue that nature is not only the foundation of human well-being, but also the smartest commercial investment any business or government can make. The forests, floodplains, and oyster reefs often seen simply as raw materials or as obstacles to be cleared in the name of progress are, in fact as important to our future prosperity as technology or law or business innovation.

Féministes avant l'heure, les sorcières ont laissé en héritage leurs savoirs et leurs pouvoirs, autant de clés au service d'une féminité libre et puissante. Symbole subversif de la révolte féministe, la figure de la sorcière est aujourd'hui de retour, prête à questionner nos choix, notre rapport au monde, à la nature, au corps, à la rationalité, à la sexualité... Et ce qu'elle a à nous apprendre peut réellement changer nos vies. Loin du folklore et des clichés, les sorcières sont porteuses d'un savoir riche et multiple, qui dérange et bouscule l'ordre établi. Pourquoi les a-t-on massacrées au XVe siècle, pourquoi a-t-on cherché à les oublier ?
