About the Author

Following a PhD from Cambridge University, Ronen Bergman teaches investigative jounalism at Tel-Aviv University, and is currently the senior security and intelligence correspondent for Israel’s largest daily newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth.

The Secret War with IranRonen Bergman A gripping investigation into the West’s covert 30-year war with Iran

While many now fear a looming war with Iran, few know that this war is already raging and has been doing so for the past three decades.

Starting from the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, intelligence expert Ronen Bergman details the complex array of political manoeuvring, assassination attempts, arms trading, and suicide bombs that has characterised the secret war between Iran and the intelligence services of Israel and the United States. Drawing on interviews with a plethora of intelligence agents from all sides, this is a riveting exploration of the growing influence of Iran in the Middle East, and the covert activities of the CIA and Mossad to foil its political ambitions.

About the Author

Marshall Goldman is Professor of Economics Emeritus at Wellesley College and Senior Scholar at the Davis Centre for Russian Studies at Harvard University.

OilopolyPutin, Power, and the Rise of the New RussiaMarshall Goldman From financial collapse to one of the world’s richest nations, in less than a decade

Russia’s spectacular recovery and reassertion of its superpower status is nothing short of an economic and political miracle. Marshall Goldman, one of the world’s leading authorities on Russia, uncovers a gripping tale of intrigue, corruption, greed, patronage, nepotism, and oligarchy as Russian oil and gas drive its economy and reignite its traditional great power ambitions.

Based on extensive research, including several interviews with Vladimir Putin, this dramatic page-turner is the incredible story of one country’s unprecedented, meteoric return to the world stage.

‘Timely and sobering.’ Norman M. Naimark, Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor, Stanford University

‘With a scholar’s commitment to deep and meaningful research and a reporter’s eye for detail and colour, Goldman has explained why Russia has again emerged as a global power. The answer is oil. Read and learn. ‘ Marvin Kalb, Former Moscow Bureau chief for CBS News

1948A Soldier’s TaleUri Avnery Translated by Christopher Costello

Acclaimed as the Middle East’s All Quiet on the Western Front

The first eye-witness account ever published on the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, this riveting memoir of a young Israeli soldier became an instant bestseller on publication in 1949, and is still recognized as the outstanding book of that war, in the tradition of Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front.

Joining first the Givati Brigade and later volunteering for “Samson’s Foxes”, the legendary commando unit, Avnery took part in almost all the major battles on the Jerusalem and southern fronts. Written from the trenches, and from a military hospital bed, he offers an extraordinarily detailed account of the war, of fast-paced battles, and acts of extreme bravery, as well as the camaraderie and off-duty exploits of young men and women thrust into the front line. This is a gripping, sensitive, and at times deeply poignant account of the day-to-day brutalities of one of the most significant wars of our times.

‘A brilliant exposition on one of the gigantic problems facing society. Klare is a top expert on the politics of energy and resources. Read him!’ Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Dominant Animal

Rising Powers, Shrinking PlanetThe New Geopolitics of EnergyMichael T. KlareHow depleting supplies of energy are changing the face of world power

Oil recently hit the milestone of $100 a barrel. And it is still climbing. Unlike the oil shocks of the 1970s, this dizzying leap is not the product of a temporary OPEC embargo or a sudden flare-up in the Middle East. Rather, it is a sign of a permanent new structure of world power, one in which market forces and military strength matter far less than the scarcity of vital natural resources.

Surveying the changed energy-driven dynamic, Michael Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, forecasts a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger. As essential sources of energy rapidly deplete, governments rather than corporations are taking over the pursuit of resources. In a radically altered world—where a resurgent Russia holds Europe to ransom, and the West is forced to compete with the “Chindia” juggernaut—the only route to survival, Klare shows, lies through international cooperation.

About the Author

Guy Claxton is Professor of the Learning Sciences at the University of Bristol, and the author and editor of over 20 books on learning and creativity.

What’s the Point of School?Rediscovering the Heart of EducationGuy Claxton

Why the education system is failing our kids and how we can start the revolution that will save our schools

With their emphasis on regurgitated knowledge and stressful exams, today’s schools actually do more harm than good. Guiding readers past the sterile debates about City Academies and dumbed-down exams, Claxton shows that education’s key responsibility should be to create enthusiastic learners who will go on to thrive as adults in a swiftly changing, dynamic world. Students must be encouraged to sharpen their wits, ask questions, and think for themselves—all without chucking out Shakespeare or the Periodic Table.

Blending down-to-earth examples with the latest advances in brain science, and written with passion, wit and authority, this brilliant book will inspire teachers, parents and readers of all backgrounds to join a practical revolution and foster in the next generation a natural curiosity and the spirit of adventure.

‘An excellent account of Libya’s often contentious history: clear, concise, accurate and balanced. It will be the best general work on the country available for the foreseeable future, very useful to anyone interested in the country, from tourists to students.’ Lisa Anderson, James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations, Columbia University

LibyaFrom Colony to IndependenceRonald Bruce St John From the ancient Greeks to Qaddafi’s return to the world stage

Since a bloodless coup in 1969, Libya has become synonymous with Mu’ammar al-Qaddafi, the charismatic leader Nelson Mandela dubbed one of the revolutionary icons of our time. However, falling prey to empire-builders from the ancient Greeks to Mussolini’s Italy, Libya was embroiled in controversy long before his meteoric rise to power.

Skillfully navigating the nation’s history, Ronald Bruce St John explores Libya’s struggle to establish its political and economic identity. From the infamous Lockerbie bombing to Qaddafi’s astonishing return to the international stage, this is a thoughtful and engrossing introduction to this turbulent land on the cusp of Africa and the Middle East.
