Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A Book of the Decade, 2010-2020 (Independent) A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD SATIRE ABOUT RACE, CLASS AND INEQUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICA, BYA LITERARY GENIUS AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME Winner of the Man Booker Prize, 2016 In his trademark absurdist style, Paul Beatty will make you laugh and cry in thisoutrageous and outrageously entertaining indictment of our time. Born in Dickens on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in his father's racially charged psychological studies. He is told that this work will lead to a memoir that will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed in a drive-by shooting, he discovers there never was a memoir. All thats left is a bill for a drive-thru funeral. Whats more, Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save California from further embarrassment. Fuelled by despair, the narrator sets out to right this wrong with the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school. The results will take him from Dickens to the Supreme Court, in the trial of the century. Outrageous, hilarious and profound.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 9/11 saw the deaths of almost 3,000 people. However, an additional 5,000 US citizens died in the subsequent year as a direct result. These weren't killed by terrorists and they weren't war casualties. They were killed in car accidents caused by the shift to road travel from the relative safety of planes. This is a classic example of 'the illusion of control' with devastating consequences. We don't like uncertainty, and we don't know how to deal with it. So, we pretend that we can outwit it."Dance with Chance" explores how luck operates in all aspects of human endeavour. It is a gripping tale of how even experts misread the role of chance - from the stock market to doctors' surgeries - it examines the limits of predictability and demonstrates how, by abandoning the illusion of control, we can regain power over our future. From warning against health screenings to invaluable investment strategies, "Dance with Chance" is revolutionary. It not only provides fascinating analysis, but also the practical advice needed to leave you healthier, happier, wealthier and more successful. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Intelligent algorithms are already well on their way to making white collar jobs obsolete: travel agents, data-analysts, and paralegals are currently in the firing line. In the near future, doctors, taxi-drivers and ironically even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots. Without a radical reassessment of our economic and political structures, we risk the very implosion of the capitalist economy itself. In The Rise of the Robots, technology expert Martin Ford systematically outlines the achievements of artificial intelligence and uses a wealth of economic data to illustrate the terrifying societal implications. From health and education to finance and technology, his warning is stark all jobs that are on some level routine are likely to eventually be automated, resulting in the death of traditional careers and a hollowed-out middle class. The robots are coming and we have to decide now whether the future will bring prosperity or catastrophe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. There are 27 million slaves alive today - more than at any point in history. This number is also greater than the total population stolen from Africa during four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade.

Almost 15,000 women and children have been trafficked into the UK since 1996, usually to work as sex slaves. Worldwide, slaves are also weaving carpets, cleaning houses, and picking cotton - all to keep prices for you the consumer, at a bargain. Only a handful of slaves are reached and freed each year, but the authors offer hope for the future with a global blueprint that proposes to end slavery in our lifetime and shut down a market that has transformed human beings into something cheap and disposable.

Written by a highly respected historian, this ground-breaking book provides case studies of world opinion in action, from the ending of apartheid in South Africa, to the protests against sweatshop practices in the early part of the 21st century. Peter Stearns also demonstrates the function and effectiveness of world opinion over the last two centuries, explaining what it is, why and how it originated, where it has succeeded and why. With a full examination of the relationship between world opinion and Islam and the protests against the 2003 Iraq war, author Peter Stearns also assesses the future possibilities of the role of world opinion.
