It had been almost four years since I had read HEIST SOCIETY (on audio) before I picked up UNCOMMON CRIMINALS but it wasn’t because of disinterest. Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules. After all she has her best friend-the gorgeous Hale-and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses, realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life.

Jim Crace Against the backdrop of a literary world that often seems crowded with novels yelling "Look at me!", it's refreshing to read a story marked by quiet, concentrated attention. A Whole Life, for all its gentleness, is a very powerful book. It is at once heart-rending and heart-warming. Robert Seethaler's quietly mesmerizing novel - elemental in both tone and subject - shows what joy and nobility can be found in a life of hardship, patience and bereavement. It looks at the moments, big and small, that make us what we are.Translated by Charlotte Collins. An exquisite novel about a simple life, it has already demonstrated its power to move thousands of readers with a message of solace and truth. Like John Williams' Stoner or Denis Johnson's Train Dreams, A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler is a tender book about finding dignity and beauty in solitude. He leaves his valley just once more, to fight in WWII - where he is taken prisoner in the Caucasus - and returns to find that modernity has reached his remote haven. ![]() When Marie dies in an avalanche, pregnant with their first child, Andreas' heart is broken. ![]() ![]() He is a man of very few words and so, when he falls in love with Marie, he doesn't ask for her hand in marriage, but instead has some of his friends light her name at dusk across the mountain. for all its gentleness, a very powerful novel.'

So, keeping a relentless focus on innovation to meet future demands is critical. In fast-changing business and tech environments, standing still is akin to death. Of course, we can always get better, but for this size of a company, it's amazing." The key to the future: R&D “But if there’s one thing we learned at Cisco, we are very good in adapting. “There are challenges like we’ve never seen before it’s completely unpredictable,” said Oliver Tuszik, Cisco’s senior vice president for partner sales. We spoke with a number of Cisco leaders and an external analyst to explore what makes a large enterprise nimble and innovative. ![]() With attributes like a highly creative, “fail-fast” culture, bold investments in R&D and innovation centers, and a smart, focused acquisition strategy, Cisco is one such company. ![]() But even global companies can remain highly innovative and responsive to fast-changing customer needs. Large organizations sometimes respond to disruptions with the agility of an ocean liner avoiding an iceberg. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() No Country for Old Men is a violent book, and McCarthy never shies away from describing murder and mayhem in the most gory detail. Taken from a line in William Butler Yeats's poem “Sailing to Byzantium,” the novel's title refers to Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's feelings about the changing times and what people are willing to do to one another in pursuit of money and power. It details the effects of a drug deal gone bad in 1980 and allows McCarthy to turn his eye toward the drugs, guns, and issues relating to violence and modernity. Like the previous three novels that make up Cormac McCarthy's border trilogy, No Country for Old Men is set along the Texas-Mexico border. ![]() While the book examines the large themes-such as violence and culture clash-that are McCarthy's stock and trade, it uses the basic thriller formula to tell a fast-moving story about an Everyman, a lawman from a different era, and a sociopathic killer. No Country for Old Men (2005) brings Cormac McCarthy's idiosyncratic syntax and spare dialogue to the crime novel genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() With an apparent encyclopedic knowledge of the game his intervention forces Czentovic to call the game a draw, much to his humiliation. During the rematch however, the tables are turned, when a random member of the watching crowd advises the novice on his moves. A large crowd gathers to watch and the game is understandably soon lost. ![]() His skill at the game has brought him wealth and fame, and to capitalise further on that wealth he won’t play anyone who can’t pay his hefty fee.Ī rich and arrogant industrialist on board decides the cost is worth it and pays for the privilege of playing against a master. Compared to other chess players, he is an anti-intellectual, taciturn and rude and has an inability to play from memory. ![]() Czentovic is a prodigy no doubt, but is, in all other respects, rather stupid. By chance, he discovers that there is a celebrity on board, the world chess grandmaster Mirko Czentovic. The story is narrated by an Austrian (about whom we learn very little) who has just embarked on a cruise liner from the USA heading to Argentina. Chess (or Chess Story) is a masterpiece of short fiction, packing more into its slim pages than many novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Ferguson, among the world’s most visible and contentious historians, and Lewis, an unrivalled raconteur of Hollywood-ready financial, sporting, and political intrigue ( Moneyball, The Big Short), also deliver well-established tropes and takeaways. Niall Ferguson’s Doom and Michael Lewis’s The Premonition – two chronicles of the pandemic likely to dominate bestseller lists for some time – deal with such tragedy in spades. In this sense, Covid-19 has the makings of a classical tragedy: not mere misfortune but a sequence of unheeded prophecies, unknowing collusion with calamity and disorientation when required to act. Yet come January 2020, authorities worldwide were slow, indecisive, and ill-prepared. ![]() SARS, MERS, Ebola, and swine flu were further clues. Science journalists wrote books with titles such as The Coming Plague (Laurie Garrett) and Spillover (David Quammen), whose conclusions were amplified by TED-talking billionaires. For decades, virologists foresaw the coincidence of urbanisation, human proximity with animals, climate change, and globalisation as ideal conditions for spreading deadly pathogens. One of the disconcerting aspects of this pandemic is that there was no shortage of warnings. ![]() |
