Remastering the Art of Brand Marketing Tom Doctoroff A leading marketer breaks down the barriers between traditional and digital media, offering timeless principles for customer engagement practiced by the top brands in the world
9781137279309 November £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 272pp World rights
In a cultural climate saturated by technology, marketing professionals have focused their energies on creating newer and more digital methods of advertising their brands, with the fear that if they don’t embrace “Big Data,” they will fade into obscurity. But Tom Doctoroff, Asia CEO for J. Walter Thompson, argues that this frenzy over digital media has created a schism in the marketing world that is hindering brands from attaining their true business potential. The tension between traditional branding and the seemingly unlimited possibilities presented by the advent of “digital” branding leads companies to abandon the tried and true aspects of marketing for the flash of the new. In this informative new book, Doctoroff explains why a strategy that truly integrates the two ideas is the best way for a brand to move into the future. Using some of the biggest brand names in the world as examples, such as Coca-Cola, Nike, and Apple, he breaks down the framework of marketing to explain how digital marketing can’t stand without the traditional foundation. TOM DOCTOROFF is Asia CEO for J. Walter Thompson, and the author of What Chinese Want and Billions.

How Entrepreneurship is Revolutionizing the World’s Largest Democracy Hindol Sengupta The senior editor for Fortune India explains how the world’s largest democracy is at risk of falling apart and what’s holding it together Twenty years after opening its economy, India still faces severe economic problems, including staggering income inequality. In most places, such a disparity would have the locals pounding at the gates. So why no Arab Spring for India?
9781137279613 November £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 336pp World rights
Hindol Sengupta argues that the only thing holding it back is the explosion of local entrepreneurship across the country. While these operations are a far cry from the giant companies owned by India’s ruling billionaires, they are drastically changing its politics, upending the old caste system, and creating a “middle India” full of unprecedented opportunity. From Dalit entrepreneurs who are buying mobile phones and motorbikes; to the green shoots of enterprise in insurgency-ridden Kashmir; this book describes an India rarely seen by the larger world or even spoken of among Indians themselves – the millions of ordinary, enterprising people who are redefining the world’s largest democracy.
HINDOL SENGUPTA is the Senior Editor of Fortune magazine (Indian Edition) and founder of the Whypoll Trust.

Why Every Organization Needs Big Risks, Bold Characters and the Occasional Spectacular Failure Deborah Perry Piscione Bestselling author Deborah Perry Piscione explains why risk tolerance is the new harbinger of success, for established businesses and startups alike
9781137279286 November £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp World rights
In today’s stock market-driven economy, too many companies are focused on short-term gains, and not enough on lifetime potential. As a result, Western businesses have begun to lag behind the rest of the world in innovation, and growth has stalled – except when creative venture capitalists and bold entrepreneurs come together to invent products, services and process improvements that no one had ever dreamed of before. But this doesn’t happen without breaking a few eggs. In All In, Deborah Perry Piscione explores the most innovative new companies, and the role risk-taking and failure tolerance play in their success. Drawing on case studies from a wide range of now-famous giants (Amazon, Netflix) and successful startups (Kiva, Box), she distills lessons for both new entrepreneurs and established companies whose risk aversion has cost them market-share. DEBORAH PERRY PISCIONE is the author of Secrets of Silicon Valley, and CEO of Alley to the Valley and BettyConfidential.

Millennials are beginning to enter their prime earning years, and in addition to their growing income, they stand to inherit an estimated $30 trillion dollars over the next 20 to 30 years.

Packed with targeted advice, and exploring common investment mistakes that damage long-term returns, this book lays out a strategy to help Millennials become the most successful investing generation in history.

China’s Reckless Destruction of Ecosystems from the Highlands of Tibet to the Deltas of Asia Michael Buckley A startling first-hand account of China’s ruthless push to strip Tibet of its fragile environment and natural resources, endangering the water supply for much of Asia
9781137279545 September £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp World English
Tibetans have experienced waves of genocide since the 1950s. Now they are facing ecocide – the reckless destruction of their fragile high-altitude environment. The meltdown of the Himalayan snowcaps is being accelerated by a rain of black soot from large-scale coal and fuel burning in China and India; the mighty rivers of Tibet are being dammed by Chinese engineering consortiums to feed the mainland’s thirst for power; and the land is being relentlessly mined in search of minerals to feed China’s industrial complex. Ruthless Chinese repression has left Tibetans powerless to stop the irresponsible destruction of their sacred land, but they are not the only victims of this campaign: the pollution run-off from mining and drilling has high potential to pollute rivers that run throughout Asia. With more alarming engineering plans in the pipeline, Metldown in Tibet turns the spotlight on the darkest side of China’s emergence as a global superpower. MICHAEL BUCKLEY is an award-winning Canadian journalist and author of Lonely Planet’s first guidebook to Tibet. He is a freelance travel writer and photographer who has travelled extensively throughout Southeast Asia and the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges.

Megatrends That Will Undo the World Unless We Take Action Mathew Burrows A fascinating—sometimes optimistic, sometimes frightening—look at the world we might inhabit in 2030

Twenty-five years ago when Mat Burrows went to work for the CIA as an intelligence analyst, the world seemed frozen. Then came the fall of the Berlin Wall and the implosion of the Soviet Union; suddenly, unpredictability became a universal theme and foresight was critical. For the past decade, Burrows has overseen the creation of the Global Trends report – the key futurist guide for the White House, Departments of State and Defense and Homeland Security. Global Trends has a history of making bold predictions and being right. Now, Burrows – for the first time – has expanded the most recent Global Trends report into a full length narrative, forecasting the tectonic shifts that will drive us to 2030. A staggering amount of wholesale change is happening – from unprecedented and widespread aging to rampant urbanization and growth in a global middle class, to an eastward shift in economic power and a growing number of disruptive technologies. Even our physical geography is changing as sea levels rise and faster commercial shipping routes open up through a warming Arctic region. Running the gamut from scary to reassuring, this riveting book is essential reading. MATHEW BURROWS is the director of the Atlantic Council’s Strategic Foresight Initiative. He is a former counselor of the National Intelligence Council and CIA officer.

Lindsay Mark Lewis – the notorious political fundraiser renowned for his willingness to do almost anything to get the next political dollar in the door and, perhaps, the man most responsible for the excessive influence of money on politics – is arguably the person best able to answer that question. At a time when voters are more sceptical than ever about how left and right wing politicians obtain the money that funds their campaigns, Political Mercenaries is a fascinating look into how the American political process has become so distorted.

The Long War for Control of the U.S. Supreme Court Damon Root Judicial activism v. judicial restraint – a sweeping narrative of the fight for power in the Supreme Court
9781137279231 December £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 288pp World English
Judicial restraint v. judicial activism is a more debated constitutional issue today than ever before. A touchstone of the Progessive left, judicial restraint is also a philosophy hailed by many members of the modern right. However, the growing camp of libertarian and free-market conservatives have no patience with judicial restraint and little use for majority rule. Alternatively, they want the courts to actively police the other branches of government, striking down any law that infringes on their broad constitutional vision of individual rights and limited government. Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion in the 2012 ruling on Obama’s health care law is the latest in a long line of contentious cases. Exploring these two competing visions, Overruled is a balanced examination of what role the government and the courts should play in American society, a fundamental debate that goes to the very heart of the constitutional system. DAMON ROOT is Senior Editor at Reason magazine and Reason.com. In 2012 he spearheaded Reason’s multiplatform coverage of the legal challenge to President Obama’s health care law. He has spoken about the Supreme Court and legal history at the New York Civil Liberties Union, Columbia University, and the Cato Institute.

The End of Greatness indexTA indexAT
Why America Can’t Have (and Doesn’t Need) Another Great President Aaron David Miller How American society’s need for greatness has made it virtually impossible for presidents to be good There is one thing that has haunted all of America’s modern presidents: the public’s expectations of greatness in the man and the office. As head of state, the president represents the nation, commands the military – conducts its head of state diplomatic summitry – and as the only nationally elected leader, reflects its values. Venerating past great presidents has always been safe, compelling, and inspiring. 9781137279002 November £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 288pp World English
The End of Greatness looks at the concept of greatness in presidents – the ways in which it is essential to a nation and the ways in which it has been detrimental. It argues that the American electorate has become caught up in a greatness conundrum. Inflated presidential expectations skew the debate over performance, and ultimately drives leaders to misjudge their own time and capacity. Miller questions this greatness obsession and turns it into a prescription for the voting public. AARON DAVID MILLER is Vice President for New Initiatives and a Distinguished Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. For two decades, he served as an adviser to Republican and Democratic Secretaries of State. His pieces on the presidency have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, and Foreign Policy.

Radical Islam’s War Against the Jews Mitchell G. Bard What started as a political dispute has transformed into an out-and-out religious war as the Arab-Israeli conflict is now fueled by Muslim hatred of the Jews For more than a century, much of the attention given to the Middle East has focused on Arab-Israeli tension, however, conflict is not simply confined to this region. Muslim terrorist attacks have been directed at Jews all around the world, from Europe to Asia and Latin America. Religious tension in countries across Europe is becoming more pronounced, particularly in France, where, in just the last year, tension has reached a breaking point with several Muslim attacks on Jews. 9781137279071 October £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp World English
Death to the Infidels documents the growth of radical Islam in the Middle East and how it has transformed what had primarily been a political conflict into a onesided religious war pitting radical Muslims against Jews around the world – particularly in Israel. The most important implication of this shift being the limitation of prospects for peace, and the dire consequences we could face.

As the old axiom goes: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.” But teach a woman to fish, and everyone eats for a lifetime. In this firsthand account, Ritu Sharma shares how women can, and are, overcoming the forces that keep them in poverty. As well as chronicling her travels through Sri Lanka, Burkino Faso, Honduras, and Nicaragua, and the enlightening conversations she had with the women living there, Sharma’s story looks at the broader systems that prevent women from leaving poverty behind. From lack of property rights and government corruption to the scarcity of basic infrastructure like roads, these women are restricted by the external limitations placed upon them. In Teach a Woman to Fish, Sharma draws from her experiences to frame a larger exploration of how the West can be instrumental in helping women break free of restrictive systems and begin to facilitate women’s upward mobility. Written in her engaging personal voice, this tale provides an insider’s look at women in poverty, Western government, and how change really happens around the world. RITU SHARMA is a leading voice on international women’s issues. She is co-founder of the non-profit Women Thrive Worldwide.

Theodore Roosevelt has always been considered the boldest of presidents – yet even he hesitated to confront the powerful Speaker of the House, “Uncle Joe” Cannon. Cannon and his cabal of conservative “Standpatters” aligned themselves with big corporations and stifled reforms they deemed bad for business, including eight-hour workdays, child labor laws, anti-trust legislation, and income taxes. The Democrats, outnumbered and divided, were powerless to interfere. Finally, one Republican senator stood up to his own party. In the wake of a devastating financial crisis, Robert La Follette of Wisconsin led his little band of “unreasonable” congressmen in a revolt against Uncle Joe’s authority. Their historic crusade to rescue the country from corporate influence shattered the Republican Party and redrew the political battle lines. In Unreasonable Men, Wolraich leads us into the heart of the conflict, vividly recounting the fascinating backroom struggle that introduced the words “progressive” and “conservative” to American politics and initiated the greatest period of political change in US history. MICHAEL WOLRAICH is a political writer and co-founder of the political blog dagblog.com.

Even George Washington, assigned to take over the army around Boston in 1775, went out and bought a book on military tactics. Band of Giants vividly captures the fraught condition of the war – the bitterly divided populace, the lack of supplies, the repeated setbacks on the battlefield, and the appalling physical hardships.

Professor Jim Davies’ fascinating and highly accessible book, Riveted, reveals the evolutionary underpinnings of why we find things compelling, from art to religion, and sports to superstition. We are only just beginning to understand how much the brain makes our decisions for us: why we are rewarded with a rush of pleasure when we detect patterns; why the mind urges us to linger on the news channel; and why we rubberneck accidents. Drawing on work from philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, psychology, economics, computer science, and biology, Davies offers a comprehensive explanation to show that in spite of the differences between the many things that we find compelling, they have similar effects on our minds and brains. JIM DAVIES is a professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science of Carleton University, and Director of the Science of Imagination Laboratory. He writes a Psychology Today blog called “The Science of Imagination.”
