When turmoil strikes world monetary and financial markets, leaders invariably call for 'a new Bretton Woods' to prevent catastrophic economic disorder and defuse political conflict. The name of the remote New Hampshire town where representatives of forty-four nations gathered in July 1944, in the midst of the century's second great war, has become shorthand for enlightened globalization. The actual story surrounding the historic Bretton Woods accords, however, is full of startling drama, intrigue, and rivalry, which are vividly brought to life in Benn Steil's epic account. Upending the conventional wisdom that Bretton Woods was the product of an amiable Anglo-American collaboration, Steil shows that it was in reality part of a much more ambitious geopolitical agenda hatched within President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Treasury and aimed at eliminating Britain as an economic and political rival. At the heart of the drama were the antipodal characters of John Maynard Keynes, the renowned and revolutionary British economist, and Harry Dexter White, the dogged, self-made American technocrat. Bringing to bear new and striking archival evidence, Steil offers the most compelling portrait yet of the complex and controversial figure of White--the architect of the dollar's privileged place in the Bretton Woods monetary system, who also, very privately, admired Soviet economic planning and engaged in clandestine communications with Soviet intelligence officials and agents over many years. A remarkably deft work of storytelling that reveals how the blueprint for the postwar economic order was actually drawn, The Battle of Bretton Woods is destined to become a classic of economic and political history.

'One for Sally Rooney fans' Sunday Telegraph 'Compelling, raw and thrillingly strange ' MONA AWAD, author of Bunny 'Cinematic and confessional . . . electric' The New York Times ----- *FOR FANS OF CLEOPATRA AND FRANKENSTEIN , MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION and EXCITING TIMES * When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory. But one night, something strange, dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool. Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her? Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation.

How the controversial practice of quarantine saved nineteenth-century Philadelphia after a series of deadly epidemics. In the 1790s, four devastating yellow fever epidemics threatened the survival of Philadelphia, the nation's capital and largest city. In response, the city built a new quarantine station called the Lazaretto downriver from its port. From 1801 to 1895, a strict quarantine was enforced there to protect the city against yellow fever, cholera, typhus, and other diseases. At the time, the science behind quarantine was hotly contested, and the Board of Health in Philadelphia was plagued by internal conflicts and political resistance. In Lazaretto , David Barnes tells the story of how a blend of pragmatism, improvisation, and humane care succeeded in treating seemingly incurable diseases and preventing further outbreaks. Barnes shares the lessons of the Lazaretto through a series of tragic and inspiring true stories of people caught up in the painful ordeal of quarantine. They include a nine-year-old girl enslaved in West Africa and freed upon arrival in Philadelphia, an eleven-year-old orphan boy who survived yellow fever only to be scapegoated for starting an epidemic, and a grieving widow who saved the Lazaretto in the midst of catastrophe. Spanning a turbulent century of immigration, urban growth, and social transformation, Lazaretto takes readers inside the life-and-death debates and ordinary heroism that saved Philadelphia when its survival as a city was at stake. Amid the controversy and tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic, this surprising reappraisal of America's historic struggle against deadly epidemics reminds us not to neglect old knowledge and skills in our rush to embrace the new.

" Forgotten Foundations is classic interdisciplinary history, drawing on literatures from political science and economics as well as primary sources.... Helleiner has made an important contribution that will permanently re-frame how scholars conceptualize Bretton Woods." ― Journal of Interdisciplinary History Eric Helleiner’s new book provides a powerful corrective to conventional accounts of the negotiations at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. These negotiations resulted in the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank—the key international financial institutions of the postwar global economic order. Critics of Bretton Woods have argued that its architects devoted little attention to international development issues or the concerns of poorer countries. On the basis of extensive historical research and access to new archival sources, Helleiner challenges these assumptions, providing a major reinterpretation that will interest all those concerned with the politics and history of the global economy, North-South relations, and international development. The Bretton Woods architects—who included many officials and analysts from poorer regions of the world—discussed innovative proposals that anticipated more contemporary debates about how to reconcile the existing liberal global economic order with the development aspirations of emerging powers such as India, China, and Brazil. Alongside the much-studied Anglo-American relationship was an overlooked but pioneering North-South dialogue. Helleiner’s unconventional history brings to light not only these forgotten foundations of the Bretton Woods system but also their subsequent neglect after World War II.

An engrossing memoir that uncovers the turning point of the Battle of the Atlantic against the U-boat menace. Perfect for fans of Ian Toll, Jonathan Dimbleby or C. S. Forrester's Greyhound. Vice Admiral Sir Peter Gretton's book is a brilliant account of his career in the navy through World War Two: fighting in the Second Battle of the Narvik, guarding convoys in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, before being placed in charge of Escort Group B7, which he described as "the finest job in the Navy for a new commander". It was in this role that Gretton, and the seven warships under his command, were able to make their contribution to turning the tide against the U-boat threat. On the 22nd April 1943 Gretton was in charge of the escort for Convoy ONS 5 during its journey across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage they were attacked by over fifty U-boats, and although they lost thirteen ships they managed to sink six U-boats and seriously damage many more. The U-boats had never faced such fierce resistance to their lethal raids. As the great historian Samuel Eliot Morison stated: "the glorious battle of a British escort group under Commander P. W. Gretton to the Westbound convoy ONS 5 is regarded by both the Allies and the Germans as a turning point in the struggle for the North Atlantic." What tactics had Gretton used to fend off Doenitz's terrifying submarine wolf packs? And how had these strategies developed over the course of the war? Convoy Escort Commander demonstrates how Allied commanders searched for new methods to repel U-boat assaults, including using direction-finding radio and radar, employing special tactical formations, co-ordinating with air cover, and endeavouring to keep the convoy together and prevent straggling. This book takes the reader to heart of the action and is an impressive account of the Battle of the Atlantic and the Royal Navy in World War Two. "It is a delight to read a book that still resonates today as both history of the battle against the U-Boats but also about inspiring leadership at sea. Well recommended to young and old alike." David Collins, The Naval Review "one of the best memoirs of the Battle [of the Atlantic]" Acadiensis: Journal of the History of the Atlantic Region

Ristretto er en kaffe, der består af en blanding af Arabica- og Robusta bønner fra Sydamerika og Asien. Intenst ristede for at fremhæve den krydrede karakter, hovedsagelig i form af tobak og chokolade. Denne kaffe er lige så god til en cappuccino om morgenen som til en lille ristretto om eftermiddagen. For os er det mindst lige så vigtigt med miljøet som med den gode smag. Derfor er vores kapsler til Nespresso®*-systemet helt komposterbare og består blandt andet af fornybart materiale. Kapslerne kan sorteres som normalt madaffald eller som husholds affald til energiudvinding. Vores ambition er at kunne tilbyde en miljøvenlig kapsel-kaffe. Er det overhovedet muligt? Ja, vores kaffekapsler bliver faktisk kun produceret med energi fra sol-, vind- og vandkraft samt biogas - produktionen medfører intet kuldioxidudslip. Vores miljøtænk gjorde også, at vi sørgede for, at både kapslen og posen vi sender dit kaffe ,i blev certificeret af TÜV Austria. Men vi var ikke kun tilfredse med det faktum, at selve kapslen ville være biologisk nedbrydelig, vi havde også et ønske om, at emballagen skulle være miljøvenlig. Derfor bruger vi kun 100% genbrugsmateriale i æsken, som kapslerne er pakket ind i. Vores kaffe er altså ikke bare vældig god men er også pakket på en miljøcertificeret måde. De fleste kaffekapsler indeholder i dag aluminium, som er belastende for miljøet. Vores kapsler indeholder intet aluminium, og det er vi meget stolte af. Ikke alene er selve kapslen fri for aluminium, det er lukningen også, hvilket betyder, at vores kapsler er 100% biologisk nedbrydelige. Allerede efter 62 dage i komposten er 90% af materialet i kapslerne og lukningen nedbrudt! Ifølge EU-standarden, som vores kapsler er certificeret med, må kun 2x2 mm. af kapslen være tilbage efter 36 uger, men i vores egne test tog processen kun 22 uger ved en gennemsnitlig udendørs temperatur på 13 grader. Det får vores miljø-interesserede hjerter til at slå hurtigere. Når det kommer til kvaliteten på kaffen, kan vi fortælle, at vi har fulgt den kaffe, du drikker, siden barnsben. Vi har set kaffebusken blive plantet og vokse op til den frodige plante, den er i dag. Vi ved, at bønnerne, der er malet for at lave din kaffe, er blevet dyrket og høstet i henhold til kaffekunstens alle regler. Vi ved, at de gårde, hvor kaffebusken vokser, er certificerede og velholdte. Vi på MINespresso har styr på hele kæden, når din kaffe produceres. Vi vil være sikre på, at kvaliteten altid er høj og smagen rigtig god. * Nespresso® TM er et registreret varemærke tilhørende Société des Produits Nestlé S.A., Case Postale 353, CH-1800 Vevey, Schweiz og er ikke tilknyttet dette websted, dets varemærker og/eller indhold.

The most exhilarating painter of the Renaissance and arguably of the whole of western art, Tintoretto was known as 'Il Furioso' because of the attack and energy of his style. His vaunting ambition is recorded in the inscription he placed in his studio: l disegno di Michelangelo ed il colorito di Tiziano ("Michelangelo's drawing and Titian's colour"). The Florentines Vasari and Borghini, and the Venetians Ridolfi and Boschini wrote the earliest biographies of the artist. The four accounts are related to each other and form the backbone of the critical success of Tintoretto. Borghini is the first one to give some information about Marietta Tintoretto, also an artist, and Ridolfi is the richest in anecdotes about the artist's life and personality - including the one about the inscription which he may, however, have invented. Boschini, a witty Venetian nationalist, wrote his account in dialect verse. El Greco, whose marginal notes to Vasari are included for the first time in English, Calmo and Franco knew Tintoretto personally and their writings give a real flavour of this complicated man. Unavailable in any form for many years, these biographies have been newly edited for this edition. They are introduced by the scholar Carlo Corsato, who places each in its artistic and literary context. Approximately 50 pages of colour illustrations cover the full range of Tintoretto's astonishing output.
