The shocking, definitive account of the 2020 election and the first year of the Biden presidency by two New York Times reporters, exposing the deep fissures within both parties as the country approaches a political breaking point.
This is the authoritative account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy that will be seared into the country’s political memory for decades to come. With stunning, in-the-room detail, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns show how both our political parties confronted a series of national traumas, including the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House.
From Donald Trump’s assault on the 2020 election and his ongoing campaign of vengeance against his fellow Republicans, to the behind-the-scenes story of Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate and his bitter struggles to unite the Democratic Party, this book exposes the degree to which the two-party system has been strained to the point of disintegration. More than at any time in recent history, the long-established traditions and institutions of American politics are under siege as a set of aging political leaders struggle to hold together a changing country.
Martin and Burns break news on most every page, drawing on hundreds of interviews and never-before-seen documents and recordings from the highest levels of government. The book asks the vitally important (and disturbing) question: can American democracy, as we know it, ever work again?
First published in 2000, the Textbook of Psychiatry for Southern
Africa 2e is a textbook for medical and allied health care students
in Southern Africa. As a trusted resource for medical students in
their clinical years, the Textbook of Psychiatry 2e is a key
reference for doctors during their internship, community service,
and in practice. Undergraduate students in allied professions,
including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Logopaedics,
Psychology, Nursing, and Pharmacy will find it invaluable, as will
postgraduate students studying the Diploma in Mental Health and
Master's Degrees in Clinical Psychology, Public Health, Family
Medicine, and Internal Medicine. Representing the work of
thirty-six expert contributors from thirteen institutions, the book
covers community-based primary health care and offers a South
African, multicultural perspective on psychiatric disorders. It
adopts a biopsychosocial, developmental and multisectoral approach,
within a primary health care context, to build a holistic
understanding of psychiatric care in a developing country. In
addition, the book includes comprehensive coverage of special
topics, including women's disorders, cultural psychiatry, HIV/Aids
and psychiatric services; while case studies illustrate the
complexity of disorders.
Written by a highly regarded expert on entrepreneurship, this
bestselling textbook provides an engaging and comprehensive
overview of corporate entrepreneurship. Now in its fourth edition
and fully revised throughout, this accessible text is structured in
four key parts that cover everything a student needs to know about
the topic. After an initial consideration of what constitutes
corporate entrepreneurship and innovation, the author then guides
students through the four pillars of entrepreneurial architecture:
culture, structure, leadership and strategy. The third section
focusses on the entrepreneurial mind-set, including how to
encourage creativity, business ideas and developing concepts.
Finally, the book draws attention to corporate venturing, examining
venture teams, intrapreneurs, market development and the role of
shareholder value. It is no longer sufficient for businesses to
grow simply by cutting costs and taking over competitors. To
achieve true success, organisations must avoid an ageing product or
service portfolio to bring new, innovative ideas to market.
Corporate entrepreneurship is inherently risky and therefore
requires a fresh approach to strategy. The approach Paul Burns
offers will successfully overcome barriers to launching new ideas,
internal challenges of managing creativity and show how to foster
an entrepreneurial culture. This is the go-to textbook for all
students studying Corporate Entrepreneurship, Intrapreneurship or
Corporate Venturing at undergraduate, postgraduate or MBA level.
The book is also essential reading for courses on Strategic
Entrepreneurship and Innovation. New to this Edition: - Fully
revised and updated content throughout with new four-part structure
- Brand new case studies in every chapter, featuring some of the
world's highest profile companies from across the globe - A greater
focus on innovation, including a new chapter on this topic at the
start of the book - New chapters on 'Developing a Business Model',
'Managing Change' and 'Managing Risk' - New on-page glossary with
key terms highlighted in the text and defined in the margins - New
Activities and Group Discussion topics at the end of each chapter

Triple bill of romantic dramas based on the novels by Nicholas
Sparks. In 'Dear John' (2010), while Special Forces Army Sergeant
John Tyree (Channing Tatum) is home on leave, he meets beautiful
college student Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) and the two fall
in love. When the time comes for Savannah to return to college, she
promises to write to John during his 12-month enlistment overseas.
However, their budding love affair is put to the test when John
decides to re-enlist in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. 'Safe Haven'
(2013), follows the fortunes of a guarded young woman who
unexpectedly finds love in a North Carolina town. Katie Feldman
(Julianne Hough) stands out on arrival in Southport. Beautiful but
highly reserved, she makes it clear that she expects to have little
involvement in the social life of the town and its inhabitants.
However, an unforeseen chain of events brings Katie close to Alex
(Josh Duhamel), a widower who runs a store while also attempting to
bring up his young children. As she inexorably falls in love with
Alex and the children Katie begins to let down her guard, but doing
so threatens to raise the dark secret she has been protecting. Will
she find a way to reconcile the trauma of her past with the
possibility of a brighter future? 'The Best of Me' (2014), charts
the relationship between Dawson Cole (Luke Bracey/James Marsden)
and Amanda Collier (Liana Liberato/Michelle Monaghan), two people
from opposite sides of town, who fall deeply in love as teenagers.
However, Amanda's parents don't approve of Dawson and their
relationship is short-lived due to a number of unfortunate events
outside of their control. 20 years later, the pair are reunited at
a mutual friend's funeral and it doesn't take long for their
romance to rekindle. But although it seems the universe is
conspiring to bring them back together after all this time, it
seems there are still other forces at work which are determined to
keep them apart...

From 1997 to 2003 England and Australia battled for domination of
the rugby world in one of the greatest rivalries the sport has ever
known. In The Men in the Arena, William Hill shortlisted authors

Pontificate of Pope John Paul II.
In the early days of the Civil War, Richmond was declared the
capital of the Confederacy, and until now, countless stories from
its tenure as the Southern headquarters have remained buried. Mary
E. Walker, a Union doctor and feminist, was once held captive in
the city for refusing to wear proper women's clothing. A coffee
substitute factory exploded under intriguing circumstances. Many
Confederate soldiers, when in the trenches of battle, thumbed
through the pages of Hugo's "Les Miserables." Author Brian Burns
reveals these and many more curious tales of Civil War Richmond.
