Travel from home with this volume sharing the energy of Rio De Janeiro, authored by Bruno Astuto. Part of Assouline’s Classics Collection of highly collectible and immaculately illustrated volumes representing movements in style and chronicling chic. Each book is an inspiring journey to aesthetic bliss, a unique world all its own.

Santo Domingo, the vibrant capital of the Dominican Republic, stands as both the nation’s cultural epicenter and a living testament to its rich history. Hailed as the oldest European city in the New World, its meticulously preserved Zona Colonial invites visitors to journey through time, with architectural treasures dating back to the 1500s. Yet Santo Domingo is far more than a historical landmark—it is a cosmopolitan haven where culinary delights, artistic expression, sun-kissed beaches, and electrifying entertainment converge effortlessly.

 

This city of endless marvels proudly claims its heritage as the birthplace of fashion icon Oscar de la Renta and as a filming location for cinematic masterpieces such as The Godfather Part II. It is a place where modernity meets tradition, and where the ocean’s embrace is never far away. Along the famed Malecón, the city’s waterfront boulevard, the island’s spirit flows freely, connecting its people to the rhythm of the sea.

 

In this stunning portrait of Santo Domingo, texts by David Collado, the visionary Minister of Tourism for the Dominican Republic, and cultural connoisseur Rosanna Rivera, provide an insider’s exploration of this extraordinary destination in Latin America. Complemented by the evocative photography of Aline Coquelle, the travel coffee table book captures not only the city’s timeless beauty but also the essence of its most illustrious residents, whose creativity and passion continue to shape Santo Domingo into the dynamic cultural jewel it is today.

The Book I Meant to Write
Format: Kindle
While doing my master’s degree in international relations, I completed a master’s thesis on Xi Jinping Thought (which, like the authors, I shortened to Xi Thought). I considered writing a book on the subject since there wasn’t a lot in English, but I no longer feel the need. This book fills every gap that was present. Well written and informative, it is the quintessential English source in Xi Thought. The authors put Xi’s political thought in a consultative Leninist paradigm and define that context clearly. Each chapter elucidates a little more and puts Xi thought front and center in China’s current transformation. I consider it a must read.

Great read and most importantly very topical
Format: Audiobook
The writers use published work of Xi and Chinese government official statements to describe the true nature of this most important Chinese leader who will have profound impact on the total world.Like it or not it is essential for all of us to really what he is preparing his nation for the vision he has.Americans are naive and totally ignorant.

Pure anti-China propaganda
Format: Audiobook
From the first few sentences they get the name of the ruling party of China wrong and it only gets worse from there. This is purely a work of western propaganda and in no way academic or objective. I've studied China for many years. You will find nothing of value from this book. All of their achievements are minimized or disregarded entirely. You will also notice that very little data is presented if any at all.

Great analysis on a super important topic
Format: Hardcover
Excellent analysis of what is potentially the most important flash point on earth - while we are all looking the other way to Iran. The vast majority of Americans have no idea what would happen if (and I hope not when) China tries to take Taiwan. It would change technology and geopolitics instantly, and not in our favor. We are not prepared. A lot is at stake. Even a cursory reading of this book would better inform any reader. (And how could that one star reviewer think this is a novel? It doesn't remotely sound like a novel, even in the description. Insert eye roll emoji here.)

Will 500 5 stars defeat a mistaken rating?
Format: Hardcover
The future of the planet depends on this book and it received one star as a "mistaken novel!!" DO NOT look only at the stars, this seminal, recent, scholarly text, at an amazing price for the content (cf Springer for $300 US), outlines the disasterous imminent global economic and even nuclear consequenses brewing NOW in the Strait. I'm completing my third doctorate on simulating Strait diplomacy and military models, and Adam Liff's recent Cambridge article (open access) is a great preview of this amazing and crucial text-- Bayesian math plus Baha'i consultation are urgently needed to mitigate THE global trigger and planetary flashpoint which is about to destroy the global economy, or... worse.
