2030: How Today's BiggestTrends Will Collide and Reshapethe Future of EverythingMauro F. Guillen

Wall Street Journal bestseller

A revolutionary analysis of the global trends underway thatwill end the world as we know it. Will you be prepared for whatcomes next?

Once upon a time, the world was neatly divided into prosperous and backwardeconomies. Babies were plentiful, workers outnumbered retirees, and peopleaspiring towards the middle class yearned to own homes and cars. Companiesdidn't need to see any further than Europe and the United States to do well.That world—and those rules—are over.

By 2030, a new reality will take hold:

- There will be more grandparents than grandchildren- The middle-class in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will outnumber the US andEurope combined- The global economy will be driven by the non-Western consumer for the firsttime in modern history- There will be more global wealth owned by women than men- There will be more robots than workers- There will be more currencies than countries

According to Guillen, the only way to truly understand the global transformationsunderway—and their impacts—is to think laterally. That is, using “peripheralvision,” or approaching problems creatively and from unorthodox points of view.Rather than focusing on a single trend—climate-change or the rise of illiberalregimes, for example—Guillen encourages us to consider the dynamic inter-playbetween a range of forces that will converge on a single tipping point—2030AD—that will be, for better or worse, the point of no return. 2030 willrevolutionize the way we think about cataclysmic change and its consequences.

PRAISE

"A must-read for those looking to understand the what, why and so what oftransformational global change—that is, new trends that are emerging in a decisive,durable and impactful fashion; why they are doing so; and what this means not justfor countries and companies, but also for households and communities.”—Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Adviser, Allianz, and bestselling author ofWhen Markets Collide

The Immortality KeyThe Secret History of the Religion with No Name

Brian C. Muraresku, Foreword by Graham Hancock

A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have playedin the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest forthe Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.

A New York Times bestseller featured on The Joe Rogan Experience.

The Immortality Key connects the lost psychedelic sacrament of Greek religion toearly Christianity—reckoning with the true origins of Western Civilization.

Before Jerusalem, before Rome, before Mecca—there was Eleusis: the spiritualcapital of the ancient world. It promised immortality to Athens's greatest mindswith a simple formula: drink this potion, see God. Shrouded in secrecy formillennia, the Ancient Greek sacrament was buried when the ChristianizedRoman Empire obliterated Eleusis in the fourth century.

Renegade scholars in the 1970s claimed the Greek potion was psychedelic, aswas the original Christian Eucharist that replaced it. In recent years, vindicationfor the disgraced theory has been mounting. Archaeological chemistry hasproven the ancient use of visionary drugs. And with a single dose of psilocybin,the psycho-pharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are turningself-proclaimed atheists into believers.

Was the original Eucharist of Christianity, in fact, a psychedelic Eucharist?Muraresku takes the reader on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He gainsaccess to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum, unravels the AncientGreek of the New Testament, and breaches the secret archives of the Vatican.And with leads from an elite group of archaeological chemists, he unveils thefirst scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs i...

Robert E. Lee and MeA Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause

Ty Seidule

Soldier and head of the West Point history department TySeidule challenges the myths and lies of the Confederatelegacy—and explores why some of this country’s oldestwounds have never healed.

Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to hisservice in the U.S. Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth:that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates wereunderdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier generaland Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed.From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, American history demands areckoning.

In a unique blend of history and reflection, Seidule deconstructs the truth aboutthe Confederacy—that its undisputed primary goal was the subjugation andenslavement of Black Americans—and directly challenges the idea of honoringthose who labored to preserve that system and committed treason in their failedattempt to achieve it. Through the arc of Seidule’s own life, as well as the culturethat formed him, he seeks a path to understanding why the facts of the Civil Warhave remained buried beneath layers of myth and even outright lies—and howthey embody a cultural gulf that separates millions of Americans to this day.

Part history lecture, part meditation on the Civil War and its fallout, and partmemoir, Robert E. Lee and Me challenges the deeply-held legends and myths ofthe Confederacy—and provides a surprising interpretation of essential truths thatour country still has a difficult time articulating and accepting.

PRAISE

“An extraordinary book.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

“A beautiful, often searing meditation on race, history, and the Americannarrative.” —Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The British areComing

"Seidule scorches us with the truth." —Ron Chernow, bestselling author ofHamilton

“A must read.” —Mitch Landrieu, bestselling author of In The Shadow of Statues: AWhite Southerner Confronts History

TY SEIDULE is Professor Emeritus of History at West Point where he taught for two decades. Heserved in the U.S. Army for thirty-six years, retiring as a brigadier general. He is the ChamberlainFellow at Hamilton College as well as a New America Fellow. He has published numerous books,articles, and videos on military history including the award-winning West Point History of the CivilWar. He graduated from Washington and Lee University and holds a PhD from the Ohio State

Responding to the RightQuick Replies to 100 Conservative Arguments

Nathan J. Robinson

The editor of Current Affairs artfully and efficiently debunks aseries of common right-wing arguments.

Are taxes theft? Is abortion murder? Does regulation destroy jobs? Is whiteprivilege a lie? Conservative talking points are everywhere, and throughwell-funded media like Fox News, Breitbart, and YouTube’s "Prager University,"the right has an impressive record of packaging its views for a general audience.Clearly, the left needs to do a better job of fighting back.

For the last five years, Current Affairs editor and Guardian columnist Nathan J.Robinson has developed a reputation as a meticulous slayer of irrational andbigoted arguments. He has tangled with the likes of Ben Shapiro, JordanPeterson, and Charles Murray, exposing their flimsy logic and distorted facts withforensic throughness and savage wit.

In Responding to the Right, Robinson blasts right-wing nonsense withdevastating intellectual weaponry, revealing how everyone from Ann Coulter toNational Review uses fear and lies to manipulate the public. He gives a detailedexplanation of how conservative arguments work and why we need to resistthem, then goes through 100 separate talking points, showing precisely why eachone fails.

This essential handbook is a stimulating source of issues to debate and acomprehensive challenge to dozens of dominant orthodoxies. It will set a newstandard for leftist critique and become an invaluable toolkit for the millions ofprogressives fighting the political battles of our age.

PRAISE

“Robinson’s articles, and Current Affairs generally, are consistently challenging andthought-provoking...Unusually valuable contributions.” —Noam Chomsky

"Consistently excellent, writing at a very high standard, and offering serious andcompelling alternative perspectives. Very worth following and reading." —GlennGreenwald, co-founder of The Intercept

"One of the clearest, most insightful writers working today...a scrupulous, carefully-argued work that will challenge liberals and confound conservatives." —RyanCooper, National Correspondent for The Week

NATHAN J. ROBINSON is a leading voice of millennial left politics. He is the editor of CurrentAffairs. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic,The Nation, Salon, The Guardian, and elsewhere.

Divided We FallAmerica's Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation

David French

Now in paperback: David French warns of the potentialdangers to the country—and the world—if we don’t summonthe courage to reconcile our political differences.

Two decades into the 21st Century, the U.S. is less united than at any time in ourhistory since the Civil War. We are more diverse in our beliefs and culture thanever before. But red and blue states, secular and religious groups, liberal andconservative idealists, and Republican and Democratic representatives all haveone thing in common: each believes their distinct cultures and liberties are beingthreatened by an escalating violent opposition. This polarized tribalism, espousedby the loudest, angriest fringe extremists on both the left and the right, dismissesdialogue as appeasement; if left unchecked, it could very well lead to secession.

An engaging mix of cutting edge research and fair-minded analysis, Divided WeFall is an unblinking look at the true dimensions and dangers of this wideningideological gap, and what could happen if we don't take steps toward bridging it.French reveals chilling, plausible scenarios of how the United States couldfracture into regions that will not only weaken the country but destabilize theworld.

But our future is not written in stone. By implementing James Madison’s visionof pluralism—that all people have the right to form communities representingtheir personal values—we can prevent oppressive factions from seizing absolutepower and instead maintain everyone’s beliefs and identities across all fiftystates.

Reestablishing national unity will require the bravery to commit ourselves...

PRAISE

"In his admirably measured book, French convincingly argues that polarization isputting America on a perilous path to disunion." —James Kirchick, New York TimesBook Review

"French makes a powerful case that the country could be heading towarddissolution—not so much a hot civil war as a bitter domestic cold war leading to anacrimonious divorce through secession." —Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch

Her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterioustragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the dead womanand abandoned baby have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew offilmmaking friends to spend a few days in the quiet village and make a filmabout what really happened.

McNab reconstructs for the first time the seismic events of 1969, when TheBeatles reached new highs of creativity and new lows of the internal strife thatwould destroy them.

A Good Day for ChardonnayA Novel

Darynda Jones

"Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turningfun." —New York Times Bestselling author Allison Brennan

Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be asmooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff—and even fuller-timecoffee guzzler—Sunshine Vicram, didn’t get that memo.

All Sunshine really wants is one easygoing day. You know, the kind that startswith coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass ofchardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that’s about as easy as switching to decaf.(What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)

Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny’s got a bar fight gone bad, a teenagedaughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of herown abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerousbad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he’s not the villain of her story.Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At thevery least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She’s seen it. Once.Accidentally.

Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of anickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentiallyevery day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn’t know when to quit, Sunny’slife is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.

Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.

Nöthin' But a Good TimeThe Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion

Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock

Nöthin' But a Good Time is the definitive, no-holds-barred oralhistory of 1980s hard rock and hair metal, told by themusicians and industry insiders who lived it.

Hard rock in the 1980s was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspringof escapism that perfectly encapsulated—and maybe even helped to define—aspectacularly over-the-top decade. Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister’s“We’re Not Gonna Take It” are as inextricably linked to the era as Reaganomics.

From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concertproductions, to the MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems andchart-topping power ballads, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nöthin' Buta Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the wordsof the musicians, managers, producers, label executives, publicists, stylists,journalists, video directors, club bookers, roadies, groupies, and hangers-on wholived it.

Featuring an impassioned foreword by Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist andavowed glam metal fanatic Corey Taylor, and drawn from over 200 newinterviews with members of Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Guns N’ Roses,Bon Jovi, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Winger, Cinderella, Quiet Riot and others, as wellas Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford and many more, this is the ultimate, uncensored,and often unhinged chronicle of a time where excess and success walked hand inhand, told by the men and women who created a sound and style that came todefine a musical era—one in which the bands and their fans went looking fornothin’ but a good time…and found it.

PRAISE

The Next EverestSurviving the Mountain's Deadliest Day and Finding theResilience to Climb Again

Jim Davidson

A dramatic account of the deadly avalanche on Everest—and areturn to reach the summit.

On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8magnitude earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team,destroying their only escape route and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It wasthe largest earthquake in Nepal in eighty-one years and killed nearly 8,900people. That day also became the deadliest in the history of Everest, witheighteen people losing their lives on the mountain.

After spending two unsettling days stranded on Everest, Davidson's team wasrescued by helicopter. The experience left him shaken, and despite histhirty-three years of climbing and serving as an expedition leader, he wasn’t surethat he would ever go back. But in the face of risk and uncertainty, he returned in2017 and finally achieved his dream of reaching the summit.

Suspenseful and engrossing, The Next Everest portrays the experience of livingthrough the biggest disaster to ever hit the mountain. Davidson's background ingeology and environmental science makes him uniquely qualified to explain whythe seismic threats lurking beneath Nepal are even greater today.

THE INSTANT BESTSELLER

Gibby's older brothers have already been to war. One died there. The other cameback misunderstood and hard, a decorated killer now freshly released from athree-year stint in prison.

Jason won't speak of the war or of his time behind bars, but he wants arelationship with his younger brother. He coaxes Gibby into a day at the lake:long hours of sunshine and whisky and older women. But the day turns uglywhen the four encounter a prison transfer bus on a stretch of empty road.Beautiful but drunk, one of the women taunts the prisoners. The woman issavagely murdered soon after.

Given his violent history, suspicion turns first to Jason; but when the secondwoman is kidnapped, the police suspect Gibby, too. To prove Jason innocent,Gibby must avoid the cops and dive deep into his brother's hidden life, a darkworld of heroin, guns and outlaw motorcycle gangs. What he discovers there is atruth more disturbing than he could have imagined: not just the identity of thekiller and the reasons for Tyra's murder, but the forces that shaped his brother inVietnam, the reason he was framed, and why the most dangerous man alivewants him back in prison. This is crime fiction at its most raw, an exploration offamily and the past, of prison and war and the indelible marks they leave.

Buses Are a Comin'Memoir of a Freedom Rider

Charles Person with Richard Rooker

A firsthand exploration of the cost of boarding the bus ofchange to move America forward—written by one of the CivilRights Movement's pioneers.

At 18, Charles Person was the youngest of the original Freedom Riders, keyfigures in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement who left Washington, D.C. by bus in1961, headed for New Orleans. This purposeful mix of black and white, male andfemale activists—including future Congressman John Lewis, Congress of RacialEquality Director James Farmer, Reverend Benjamin Elton Cox, journalist andpacifist James Peck, and CORE field secretary Genevieve Hughes—set out todiscover whether America would abide by a Supreme Court decision that ruledsegregation unconstitutional in bus depots, waiting areas, restaurants, andrestrooms nationwide.

The Freedom Riders found their answer. No. Southern states would continue todisregard federal law and use violence to enforce racial segregation. One bus wasburned to a shell; the second, which Charles rode, was set upon by a mob thatbeat the Riders nearly to death.

Buses Are a Comin’ provides a front-row view of the struggle to belong inAmerica, as Charles leads his colleagues off the bus, into the station, into themob, and into history to help defeat segregation’s violent grip on AfricanAmerican lives. It is also a challenge from a teenager of a previous era to theyoung people of today: become agents of transformation. Stand firm. Create amore just and moral country where students have a voice, youth can make adifference, and everyone belongs.
