Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla, and the Bet of the Century
0199.00 DHInside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla’s bid to build the world’s greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he’s a genius and a visionary and to others he’s a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla’s worst enemy–his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds… and changed the future.

Joe Biden : American Dreamer
0300.00 DHThe new biography of President Joe Biden by National Book Award winner and New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos – A Financial Times, Guardian and Daily Express Book of the Year
‘A thoroughly readable primer’ Guardian
‘Biden has overcome unimaginable tribulation, multiple presidential primary humiliations, a potentially crippling speech impediment and his own mediocrity. Now he carries the hopes of billions upon his shoulders’ Sunday Times
President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest – fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses that he has suffered.
Yet even as Biden’s life has been shaped by drama, it has also been powered by a willingness, rare at the top ranks of politics, to confront his shortcomings, errors and reversals of fortune. His trials have forged in him a deep empathy for others in hardship – an essential quality as he addresses a nation at its most dire hour in decades.
Blending up-close journalism and broader context, Evan Osnos illuminates Biden’s life and captures the characters and meaning of an extraordinary presidential election. He draws on lengthy interviews with Biden and on revealing conversations with more than a hundred others, including President Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and a range of progressive activists, advisers, opponents, and Biden family members.
In this nuanced portrait, Biden emerges as flawed, yet resolute, and tempered by the flame of tragedy – a man who just may be uncannily suited for his moment in history.

الالمام بالحقيقة
0159.00 DHيكشف الكتاب عن الغرائز العشر التي تشوّه وجهات نظرنا – من ميلنا إلى تقسيم العالم إلى مجموعتين (عادةً “نحن” و”هم”)، إلى الطريقة التي نستهلك فيها أخبار وسائل الإعلام (حيث يحكم الخوف)، إلى الطريقة التي نفهم بها التقدّم (معتقدين أنّ كلّ شيء يزداد سوءًا).تكمن مشكلتنا في أننا لا نعرف ما الذي لا نعرفه، وحتى تخميناتنا تكون مستندة إلى تحيّزات لاشعورية ومتوقّعة.يتّضح أنّ العالم، مع كلّ ما فيه من النقائص، هو أفضل حالًا ممّا نظنّ، وهذا لا يعني عدم وجود هموم حقيقية، ولكن عندما نقلق بشأن كلّ شيء طوال الوقت بدلًا من اعتناق نظرة عالمية، تستند إلى الحقائق، يمكن أن نفقد قدرتنا على التركيز على الأمور التي أكثر ما تهدّد حياتنا

When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaesia? And if so, at what cost?
