Cold Blue
In the spring of 1939, as whispers of an impending war with Japan spread through Washington, D.C., a covert mission is launched on a remote, uninhabited island in the Philippines. American, military, construction workers and Navy Intelligence officers are tasked with building a secret airstrip, but their mission takes a mysterious turn when they discover unusual electron surges emanating from the island's volcanic lava tubes. As they delve deeper into the island's hidden caverns, they uncover crystal spikes generating continuous, inexplicable energy. Under the guidance of Vice Admiral Philip Collins, the discovery leads to the involvement of Astrobiologists Professors Hiram Bigalow and Augustus Franco who spend the next year investigating the phenomenon. As World War II intensifies in the Pacific, communications from the secret island laboratory suddenly cease leaving behind only the cryptic message: "Cold Blue." Fast forward to June 1943, when Lt. Nathan Miller, a Navy pilot, crashes on a small jungle island during a fierce lightning storm. Unbeknownst to him, his life is about to be entwined with the island's dark secrets leading to a macabre twist in his fate. Meanwhile, back in the United States, rumors swirl about a top-secret, Navy experiment in Philadelphia involving teleportation and invisibility known as "The Philadelphia Experiment." At the center of these rumors are the same professors, Professor Bigalow and Franco, who uncovered the island's mysterious energy source. As the truth unravels, it becomes clear that the events on the island and the experiments in Philadelphia are part of a much larger, more sinister puzzle threatening to change the course of history.

Ghosted
A social, historical and scientific exploration of ghost-hunting, and why our fascination with the paranormal is as timeless as the ghosts we hope to find.The history of ghosts is ancient, but the history of active ghost-hunting is relatively recent, and investigations into the paranormal have developed hand-in-spirit-hand with scientific discoveries, from radio waves to smartphone apps. Now, more than ever, we want to find our own ghosts. Is it to help process grief? Become influencers? Or ease our fears of death?Ghosted follows the story of paranormal investigations from the Victorian era to the modern day, examining how our fascination with ghost hunting has changed alongside technology and culture. Where we once gathered around tables, observing and recording every movement of the medium, we now take electronic equipment and app-laden phones around haunted locations to catch ghosts digitally. Where theatres and concert halls held sold-out performances by conjurers recreating the tricks of fraudulent mediums, we now delight in picking apart and exposing the evidence presented on reality television programmes. In this book, Alice Vernon embarks on a journey to encounter a ghost, travelling to some of the UK's most haunted locations and encouraging readers to interrogate their own scepticism and belief. Ghosted examines what we are looking for, why we are looking for it, and why have we never given up the ghost.

Orde en verval
Orde en vervalE-bookHet eerste deel van De oorsprong van onze politiek werd drie jaar geleden met groot enthousiasme ontvangen: ‘gezaghebbend, getuigend van een indrukwekkende visie, een levenswerk – “laat deel twee maar komen”’, schreven de kranten, van de Volkskrant tot en met The Washington Post. Inmiddels is het zo ver. Het tweede deel, Orde en verval, gaat verder waar het eerste ophield: bij de Franse Revolutie. Fukuyama laat zien hoe sterke, onafhankelijke politieke instituties ontstonden – en hoe belangrijk het is dat die ter verantwoording geroepen worden. Hij schrijft over de gevolgen van corruptie en over de manieren waarop die te bestrijden valt; over de erfenis van koloniale politiek in Latijns-Amerika, Afrika en Azië, en hij probeert uit te leggen waarom staten mislukken. Van de zo noodlottig afgelopen Arabische lente tot de gridlock in de Amerikaanse politiek: de democratie heeft het moeilijk. Een goed functionerende staat komt niet zonder moeite tot stand: De oorsprong van onze politiek 2 laat op overtuigende wijze zien, met oog voor detail maar zonder de grote lijn ooit uit het oog te verliezen, wat de sleutels voor succes zijn. Een standaardwerk voor iedereen die iets van de wereld wil begrijpen.
