Trouble. Thats what folks buy into when they cross the mountains to settle near a raw outpost on the Monongahela River called Jacobs Landing. The Indians call this land home, and theyre tired of being pushed around. The French and Indian War has set tribe against tribethat is, until the settlers begin arriving at Jacobs Landing in ever larger numbers. The Indians soon forget their promises to the French and English and concentrate their efforts against the interlopers. Set in the turbulent times of 18th-century colonial upheaval, Jacobs Landing is a fascinating bookpart history, part fictionthat follows a cast of characters trying to settle a decidedly unsettled territory. We meet Seth Bean, who builds rafts for Jacobs Landing and keeps the Indians at bay. There is Danse MacCaulley, who wishes hed listened to his wifes fears about moving to the Landing; and Emil Tisdale, who sold his farm in Maryland and built a new one at the Landingmuch to his regret. And there is Billy OToole, the son of a wealthy Virginia plantation family, who arrives at the head of a forty-man militia unit and falls in love, only to experience tragedy and heartbreak. But these colonists are survivors. With Indian hostility and mounting pressure from the British to retrace their steps east, the settlers must draw upon all their strength and courage to defend their claim on Jacobs Landing.

The story of New York in the Fifties—of Rat Pack cool and the fading of the Mob's glamour—brilliantly told through the prism of Madison Square Garden. New York in the Fifties was the most interesting and most vibrant city in the world. New York gave the world a couple of other things too: one bloody and brutal but the king of sports, the other simply bloody and brutal. The Fifties were boxing’s last real heyday. Never again would the sport be so glamorous or so popular. And that’s where New York’s other gift to the world—the Mob—came in. Gangsters have been around for boxing’s entire history, but this time it was special. Most of the decade’s major fights took place at boxing’s spiritual home, Madison Square Garden, and most of the deals that made or ruined the lives of the era’s many fine fighters were done on a famous strip of pavement across the road from the Garden: Jacobs Beach. And the man ruling that strip of pavement was a charming Italian murderer called Frankie Carbo.

Hauser also takes readers into Canelo Alvarez's dressing room in the hours before and after his rematch against Gennady Golovkin, the biggest fight of the year, and offers in-depth portraits of boxing's biggest stars--past and present--as well as reflections on fight-related curiosities ranging from Ronda Rousey to David and Goliath"--

A kaleidoscopic account of the financial carnage of the pandemic, revealing the fear, grit, and gambles that drove the economy’s winners and losers—from a leading business reporter “A true masterwork . . . perceptive, well researched, and captivating.”—David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, bestselling author of How to Invest It was the ultimate test for CEOs, and almost none of them saw it coming. In early March 2020, with the Dow Jones flirting with 30,000, the world’s biggest companies were riding an eleven-year economic high. By the end of the month, millions were out of work, iconic firms were begging for bailouts, and countless small businesses were in freefall. Slick consulting teams and country-club connections were suddenly of little use: Business leaders were fumbling in the dark, tossing out long-term strategy and making decisions on the fly—decisions that, they hoped, might just save them. In Crash Landing, award-winning business journalist Liz Hoffman shows how the pandemic set the economy on fire—but if you look closely, the tinder was already there. After the global financial crisis in 2008, corporate leaders embraced cheap debt and growth at all costs. Wages flatlined. Millions were pushed into the gig economy. Companies crammed workers into offices, and airlines did the same with planes. Wall Street cheered on this relentless march toward efficiency, overlooking the collateral damage and the risks sowed in the process. Based on astonishing access inside some of the world’s biggest and most iconic companies, Crash Landing is a kaleidoscopic account of the most remarkable period in modern economic history, revealing—through gripping, fly-on-the-wall reporting—how CEOs battled an economic catastrophe for which there was no playbook: among them, Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, blindsided by a virus in the middle of a high-stakes effort to go public; American Airlines’ Doug Parker, shuttling between K Street and the White House, determined to secure a multibillion-dollar bailout; and Ford’s Jim Hackett, as his assembly lines went from building cars to churning out ventilators. In the tradition of Too Big to Fail and The Big Short, Crash Landing exposes the fear, grit, and gambles behind the pandemic economy, while probing its implications for the future of work, corporate leadership, and capitalism itself, asking: Will this remarkable time give rise to newfound resilience, or become just another costly mistake to be forgotten?
