In 1934, eleven-year-old Shimon Peres emigrated to the land of Israel from his native Pol&, leaving behind an extended family who would later be murdered in the Holocaust. Few back then would have predicted that this young man would eventually become one of the towering figures of the twentieth century. Peres would go on to serve the new nation as prime minister, president, foreign minister, & the head of several other ministries. He was central to the establishment of the Israeli Defense Forces & the defence industry that would provide the young nation with a robust deterrent power. He was crucial to launching Israel`s nuclear energy programme & to the creation of its high-tech ” Start Up Nation” revolution. His refusal to surrender to conventional wisdom & political conventions helped save the Israeli economy & prompted some of the most daring military operations in history, among them the legendary Operation Entebbe. & yet, as important as his role in creating & deploying Israel`s armed forces was, his stunning transition from hawk to dove
- with its accompanying unwavering commitment to peace
- made him one of the globe`s most recognised, honored & admired statesmen. In his final work, Peres offers a long-awaited examination of the crucial turning points in Israeli history through the prism of having been a decision-maker & eyewitness. Told with the frankness of someone aware this would likely be his final statement, NO ROOM FOR SMALL DREAMS spans decades & events, but as much as it is about what happened, it is about why it happened. Examining pivotal moments in Israel`s rise, Peres explores what makes for a great leader, how to make hard choices in a climate of uncertainty & distress, the challenges of balancing principles with policies, & the liberating nature of imagination & unpredicted innovation. In doing so, he not only charts a better path forward for his beloved country but provides deep & universal wisdom for younger generations who seek to lead
- be it in politics, business, or the broader service of making our planet a safer, more peaceful, & just place.

If there`s an adventure to be had, it`s likely that David Hempleman-Adams has been there first. Ranking alongside Ranulph Fiennes & Chris Bonnington in the pantheon of British explorers, he is the first person in history to achieve what is termed the Adventurers` Grand Slam, by reaching the Geographic & Magnetic North & South Poles as well as climbing the highest peaks on all seven continents. The question Hempleman-Adams is most often asked is, simply: what drives him on? Why risk frostbite pulling a sledge to the North Pole? Why experience the Death Zone on Everest? Why fly in the tiny basket of a precarious balloon across the Atlantic? Is it simply the case that he likes to push himself to the limits, or is there something more to it? No Such Thing as Failure answers these questions & more, uncovering what drives arguably the world`s greatest adventurer. ...

When Peter Piot was in medical school, a professor warned, ” There`s no future in infectious diseases. They`ve all been solved.” Fortunately, Piot ignored him, & the result has been an exceptional, adventure-filled career. In the 1970s, as a young man, Piot was sent to Central Africa as part of a team tasked with identifying a grisly new virus. Crossing into the quarantine zone on the most dangerous missions, he studied local customs to determine how this disease-the Ebola virus-was spreading. Later, Piot found himself in the field again when another mysterious epidemic broke out: AIDS. He traveled throughout Africa, leading the first international AIDS initiatives there. Then, as founder & director of UNAIDS, he negotiated policies with leaders from Fidel Castro to Thabo Mbeki & helped turn the tide of the epidemic. Candid & engrossing, No Time to Lose captures the urgency & excitement of being on the front lines in the fight against today`s deadliest diseases. ...
