Profits, Prophets, Coaches and Kings
Can one person change the world? What qualities determine effective leadership? How do individual talent and historical circumstances combine to shape great leaders?
From the author of?the Pulitzer Prize-winning, multimillion-copy bestselling classic Guns, Germs and Steel,? a landmark study of leadership across politics, religion, business, and sports—seeking to decode how and why leaders matter.
"Jared Diamond's erudite, engaging and thought-provoking book takes us a huge step forward toward understanding how circumstances and individual talents, determination and strategy make leaders that have the potential to change our world (hopefully for the better)." -Daron Acemoglu, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics
In his acclaimed and influential books Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in Profits, Prophets, Coaches and Kings, he studies leaders throughout time to answer the question: do the actions of individuals truly influence history? Or is humanity subject to larger historical, technological, cultural, geographical forces, far beyond the influence of individuals, no matter how powerful they may seem?
On 13 March 1930, a truck sped into an intersection, headed straight for another car’s right front door. The passenger of this chauffeur-driven car happened to be Adolf Hitler. If the truck had hit the door, Hitler would have been crushed and killed. But the chauffeur managed to accelerate, and Hitler survived. Would tens of millions of people have died in the Holocaust and World War Two if the chauffeur had been slower to react? Some believe Hitler was unique in his evil abilities, while others think the war was guaranteed by the harsh conditions imposed on Germany post-war.
Do leaders like Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, Genghis Khan, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Belichick, or Christ really change our world? If yes, what qualities and circumstances are required of a leader to make their mark?
Drawing on his deep study of the life and career of a diverse cast of leaders famous and obscure– from Botswana president Seretse Khama, to environmentalist Rachel Carson, to legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden–Diamond reveals how leadership effectiveness is determined by a range of complex interrelated factors. Understanding these successes and failures and the opportunities leaders did (or did not) seize illuminates the influence of today's leaders and helps us to reflect on the value of our votes, our faith, our passions, and the people who happen to steer our ship.
With the same remarkable scope of Diamond's classic bestsellers, Profits, Prophets, Coaches and Kings takes readers on a rich journey through the lives of humanity’s most well-known characters to reveal how time, place, and person can come together to change the course of history.
The Sea-King and the Sorceress
The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Children of Ash and Elm and award-winning expert on the Vikings brings us even closer to their world
Who do we think of when we think about the Vikings? Most of us are familiar with the seafaring marauders who raided, traded and settled the coasts of Europe between the eighth and eleventh centuries. In fact, those warriors made up only a small minority among a diverse people who had many roles and callings.
In this eye-opening and often moving book, Neil Price takes us on a journey across the Viking world, revealing the complex, varied and richly textured lives of those who inhabited it through the intimate context of their burials. Traversing a vast Scandinavian diaspora that stretched from the eastern Steppe all the way to Newfoundland, we meet townsfolk and farmers, the free and the enslaved, immigrants and diplomats, followers of many gods and the worshippers of one, sea-kings, shamans, sorceresses, and – of course – the ferocious pirates who gave the víkingar their name.
Unexpected encounters along the way challenge received wisdom about Norse culture, spiritual practices and politics, showing how they transformed their times and in doing so were changed themselves. How did a woman of Persian ancestry come to be interred in the richest Viking grave ever found? What do an arctic hunter and a Sámi nomad tell us about a fast-changing society’s notions of identity and belonging? How did these individuals see themselves, and what were their attitudes towards the elderly, infirm and children in their midst?
Drawing on the latest archaeological research and scientific analysis, The Sea-King and the Sorceress brings us closer to understanding the lives and times of the Vikings. The era that bears their name will never seem so simple again.
Esme Pepper
A funny, heartbreaking and hopeful story of one girl's resilience, from the author of the bestselling Tracy Beaker series.
Esme's mum would do anything for her, including trying to steal the expensive dolls house that Esme desperately wants. When Mum gets caught, Esme has to go into foster care.
When a placement proves hard to find, Esme has to stay with an elderly couple who have retired from fostering. She knows she only has to stay until Mum gets back, but she still has to deal with a new school, and a real idiot of a class bully.
Esme might like to cause trouble, but this time she is going to have to find a way to get along.
Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. She is now one of Britain's bestselling and most beloved children's authors. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather. More than forty million copies of her books have been sold.
You Are Not a Diagnosis
Bestselling author and clinical psychologist Tanya Byron shares why distress is not always a disorder, and encourages us to accept the pains and joys of being fully human
We live in a world fluent in therapy-speak - where every bad day is 'depression', every worry is 'anxiety', and every disappointment is 'trauma'. But what if this language, meant to heal, is stopping us from feeling what's real?
In You Are Not A Diagnosis, acclaimed clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron cuts through the noise with clarity and compassion. Drawing on decades in the therapy room, she shows how misusing the language of mental health hides our true emotions, robs those with genuine conditions of care, and leaves us trapped behind labels instead of living authentically.
With nuance and fierce honesty, Tanya argues that sadness, stress, grief and fear are not illnesses to diagnose away, but experiences to sit with and move through.
For anyone who's ever wondered if their messy, painful, overwhelming feelings mean they're 'broken', this book offers a lifeline of perspective, agency and hope. And for parents navigating teens who self-diagnose via social media, it's an urgent reminder to look beneath the therapy-speak and uncover what's really being said.
Essential, bracing, and deeply human, You Are Not A Diagnosis will change how you understand your feelings, your family, and the conversations we all so desperately need to get right.

'Spectacularly spooky . . . Full of warmth and humour, but threaded with delicious darkness' Philippa Leathley
'Percy Jackson meets Wednesday, with a huge dollop of originality on top' Thomas Taylor
Lilac Black does not believe in ghosts. So she’s rather surprised to learn she comes from a long line of gifted Seers, all of whom attended Spindlewood: a top-secret boarding school for children with the power to see, hear and communicate with spirits.
And now, Lilac has an invitation to Spindlewood herself. The only problem? There's been a huge misunderstanding. Lilac does not have the gift.
Reluctant to disappoint her proud uncles, and curious to see this mysterious school for herself, she decides to play along. But as Lilac’s web of lies becomes more tangled, one thing is clear: there is something wrong at Spindlewood. Something ancient and sinister, hidden beneath the library. Something connected to the long-ago disappearance of Lilac's parents.
Something waiting for her...
'It's hard to put your finger on the difference between a very good and a great book, but you know it when you see it. Spindlewood is a great book' Russell Franklin

Our Strange Duet
Christine Daaé. Her Voice. Her Story. As it's never been told before.
Our Strange Duet is a reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, told through the eyes of Christine Daaé as she rises to fame while torn between love, ambition, and the haunting secrets of the opera house, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Erin A. Craig.
She was never just the voice he shaped . . .
A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus.
One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the opera house: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine's talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart. As Christine's star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls - and what she's willing to risk for the life she wants.
Set against the haunting, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take centre stage to tell her own story.

Rival Darling
Violet (kamu)kapcsolatba kezd egy Ördöggel… Miután az iskola jégkorongcsapatának kapitánya elárulja és teljesen összetöri a szívét, Violet megfogadja, hogy többé nem kezd egyetlen sportolóval sem.

Muž, který věděl příliš mnoho
Byl uprchlíkem, vojákem, špionem i miliardářem. Přepsal si jméno, minulost i vlastní identitu, a přesto – nebo právě proto – se stal jedním z nejmocnějších a nejzáhadnějších mužů 20. století.
Román Muž, který věděl příliš mnoho sleduje životní pouť Roberta Maxwella od chudého židovského chlapce z karpatských hor přes vojenské a zpravodajské služby až na vrchol mediálního impéria, vystavěného na dluzích, tajemstvích a nebezpečných vazbách na KGB, StB i Mossad. Petr Prucha představuje mrazivý příběh, který rámuje jediná noc – 4. listopadu 1991 –, kdy Maxwell stojí na palubě své jachty Lady Ghislaine a možná poprvé v životě neví, co přijde dál.
Strhující román o moci a jejích hranicích, o identitě, kterou si lze vytvořit, ale nikdy zcela opustit, i o tajemstvích, jež se dříve či později obrátí proti svému nositeli, si klade otázku, jež dodnes nemá jasnou odpověď: Jak Robert Maxwell zemřel… a čí rukou? Příběh vychází ze skutečných událostí, zůstává však literární fikcí.

A birtok
Fabian Risk tizenhárom viszonylag nyugodt évet élt meg a válása és Theodor elvesztése után, de most rá kell ébrednie: a szélcsendet gyakran vihar követi.
Egy késő nyári estén a lányával, Matildával a vitorlása fedélzetén pihen, amikor a parton hirtelen olyan sötét lesz, mintha az országot egyetlen ecsetvonással eltüntették volna a föld színéről. Hamarosan kiderül, hogy az óriási területet érintő áramkimaradás nem lehetett véletlen.
Visszatérve Helsingborgba, kollégáival együtt szembesül az üzemzavar lehetséges okaival és következményeivel. Az áramszünet alatt ugyanis történt egy több száz milliós bankrablás, valamint egy gyanús halálesetet is felfedeznek.
Az új taggal kiegészült csapat nyomozni kezd, ám a tanúk furcsán viselkednek, és sehogyan sem áll össze a kép. Fabiant ezzel egy időben megkeresi egy régi barátnője, mert eltűnt a kislánya, és arra gyanakszik, hogy elrabolták. A nyomozó előtt a különböző esetek lassanként igen meglepő mintázatot kezdenek kirajzolni. De vajon mi az, amit még ő sem vesz észre?
