Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people.
But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play.
Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock.
And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death.
Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon.
Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship.
Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.

The Song of Significance
The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Paychecks no longer buy loyalty, happiness, and effort. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work.
In The Song of Significance, legendary author and business thinker Seth Godin posits a new view of what industry leaders must do now. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. The choice is simple: either keep treating your people as disposable and join in the AI-fueled race to the bottom, or build a significant organization that enrolls, empowers, and trusts employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working.

Climate Shock
If you had a 10 percent chance of having a fatal car accident, you’d take necessary precautions. If your finances had a 10 percent chance of suffering a severe loss, you’d reevaluate your assets. So if we know the world is warming and there’s a 10 percent chance this might eventually lead to a catastrophe beyond anything we could imagine, why aren’t we doing more about climate change right now? We insure our lives against an uncertain future—why not our planet?
In Climate Shock, Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on and expanding from work previously unavailable to general audiences. They show that the longer we wait to act, the more likely an extreme event will happen. A city might go underwater. A rogue nation might shoot particles into the Earth’s atmosphere, geoengineering cooler temperatures. Zeroing in on the unknown extreme risks that may yet dwarf all else, the authors look at how economic forces that make sensible climate policies difficult to enact, make radical would-be fixes like geoengineering all the more probable. What we know about climate change is alarming enough. What we don’t know about the extreme risks could be far more dangerous. Wagner and Weitzman help readers understand that we need to think about climate change in the same way that we think about insurance—as a risk management problem, only here on a global scale.
With a new preface addressing recent developments Wagner and Weitzman demonstrate that climate change can and should be dealt with—and what could happen if we don’t do so—tackling the defining environmental and public policy issue of our time.

L´Obelisque Noir
1923-1924 : deux années folles en Allemagne, o une inflation démentielle ruine les salariés et enrichit les affairistes. Employé la firme Henri Kroll et fils, monuments funéraires ", Louis vend des pierres tombales et des sculptures commémoratives. Le moment est favorable ceux qui vivent de la mort des autres. Les aventures sont portée de main et, quand la tristesse s'empare des hommes, la virée au bordel, o Fritzi ou le " cheval de fer " proposent des services trs spéciaux, fait passer le vague--l'âme. Mais, peu peu, Louis comprend ce que ces facilités de la vie lui avaient masqué : l'amour est ailleurs, et pourquoi pas auprs de son amie internée dans un hôpital psychiatrique ? Ce récit de la transformation d'un homme dans une Allemagne gangrenée par la corruption et les débuts du nazisme se lit, comme tous les grands livres, plusieurs niveaux. Pour le préfacier Lionel Richard, " la technique romanesque de Remarque consiste dégager sur un arrire-fond réaliste, d'une écriture souvent la hache et au vitriol, un plan qui le contrecarre : il poétise les insatisfactions, les rves, les aspirations de certains de ses personnages. Et il y parvient efficacement parce qu'il s'identifie eux. ""
La Mort a Venise
La Mort Venise et Tristan comptent parmi les meilleurs récits de Thomas Mann. Malgré leur briveté, ces deux chefs-d'oeuvre d'inspiration trs romantique contiennent l'essentiel de la pensée du grand écrivain allemand. On y retrouve le pessimisme foncier hérité de Schopenhauer, la clairvoyance, la perspicacité et l'extraordinaire raffinement psychologique que Thomas Mann admirait chez Nietzsche, ainsi que les quatre notions fondamentales qui, travers la littérature, ont pendant des sicles défini l'âme allemande : culture, musique, protestantisme et sens du devoir. La fascination mortelle que peut exercer la beauté physique, tel est le sujet de la Mort Venise : justement parce qu'il n'est plus jeune, et qu'il a une sensibilité d'artiste, le romancier Gustav Aschenbach sera plus qu'un autre sujet ces brusques déraillements qui conduisent la mort. Univers glacé de la montagne, gaieté factice du sanatorium, Tristan est en quelque sorte un prélude la Montagne magique. Dans ce monde qui déj échappe aux vivants s'affrontent l'artiste, voué aux rves morbides et la métaphysique, et le bourgeois, l'homme d'action la santé et aux affaires florissantes. Nouvelle brve, infiniment poignante, le Chemin du cimetiére clôt sur un point d'orgue la réédition de ces deux joyaux de la littérature allemande.
