ISBN : 9781405974233
In this illuminating collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky shares his insights into the pressing challenges that face humanity. A Liveable Future is Possible addresses artificial intelligence and the potential for such programmes to surpass humans in cognitive awareness ; what lies ahead for a world engulfed in a deadly climate crisis ; the rise of neo-fascism internationally, and why we should organize across borders to confront it ; and the striking similarities between Trump and Biden's foreign policies. Noam Chomsky has been an incomparable model of moral clarity and intellectual courage during his many decades as a scholar, political activist and social critic. A Liveable Future is Possible is not only an urgent and informative book, it is also a call to action for those hoping to help carry the torch of one of history's greatest minds.

ISBN : 9780857504517
It's a random universe, but once in a blue moon things turn out just right. In a nameless city, two rival criminal gangs are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch. Reacher is trained to notice things. He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too... hoping to get rich quick. As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble. What hold could the gangs have on the old guy ? Will Reacher be in time to stop bad things happening ? The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.
