It is November of 1993, and forty-eight-year-old Boris Goryanin realizes he never would have believed it if someone had told him six months earlier of all that he had experienced. He has been kidnapped and nearly killed by the Russian mafia, only to be rescued from death by Lady Melissa Spencer, a beautiful British aristocrat who would later become his mistress. As he flies over the ocean, Boris knows his life has been turned upside down. Now he just needs to figure out how to make things right again. Boris regrets his fateful decision to accept a proposal from Gavrila Petrovich Kravchuk, the president of a Russian financial-trading corporation. The power-hungry Kravchuk will step on anyone to get what he wants; after Boris realizes Kravchuk has been the mastermind behind his capture, he decides to take matters into his own hands. In this compelling historical novel based on true events, a saga of undying love is created in the midst of a bitter conflict between oil giants, international financial rogues, and a bloodthirsty mafia. The man caught in the middle of it all must determine whom he can trust and who is deceiving himbefore it is too late.

This historical novel is a matriarch's remembrance of two oil industry families over three generations: In Pennsylvania, as the Civil War ends, oil industry pioneers fight to control the commodity, own the infrastructure and win the wealth; in the 1890s New York City of the Standard Oil barons, the second generation fights corruption and suffers romantic tragedy as the trade goes global; and, caught in the terrible horrors of World War I, the third generation learns what mature love--and oil--really mean to the emerging modern world. In lean, muscular prose and through relentless storytelling, the book (the first in a multivolume saga of oil's history) is a tour of the world's first oil producing regions, from Pennsylvania to Baku to Mesopotamia to Indonesia to Persia to Romania. It weaves hard fact with adventure, romance and melodrama to explore the metaphysical and stark cold truths about love, family, oil and our addiction to it.

From award-winning Wall Street Journal reporters comes a revelatory look at the inner workings of the world's most powerful royal family, and how the struggle for succession produced Saudi Arabia's charismatic but ruthless Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aka MBS. 35-year-old Mohammed bin Salman's sudden rise stunned the world. Political and business leaders such as former UK prime minister Tony Blair and WME chairman Ari Emanuel flew out to meet with the crown prince and came away convinced that his desire to reform the kingdom was sincere. He spoke passionately about bringing women into the workforce and toning down Saudi Arabia's restrictive Islamic law. He lifted the ban on women driving and explored investments in Silicon Valley. But MBS began to betray an erratic interior beneath the polish laid on by scores of consultants and public relations experts like McKinsey & Company. The allegations of his extreme brutality and excess began to slip out, including that he ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. While stamping out dissent by holding 300 people, including prominent members of the Saudi royal family, in the Ritz-Carlton hotel and elsewhere for months, he continued to exhibit his extreme wealth, including buying a $70 million chateau in Europe and one of the world's most expensive yachts. It seemed that he did not understand nor care about how the outside world would react to his displays of autocratic muscle—what mattered was the flex. Blood and Oil is a gripping work of investigative journalism about one of the world's most decisive and dangerous new leaders. Hope and Scheck show how MBS' precipitous rise coincided with the fraying of the simple bargain that had been at the head of US-Saudi relations for more than 80 years: oil, for military protection. Caught in his net are well-known US bankers, Hollywood figures, and politicians, all eager to help the charming and crafty crown prince. The Middle East is already a volatile region. Add to the mix an ambitious prince with extraordinary powers, hunger for lucre, a tight relationship with the White House through President Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, and an apparent willingness to break anything—and anyone—that gets in the way of his vision, and the stakes of his rise are bracing. If his bid fails, Saudi Arabia has the potential to become an unstable failed state and a magnet for Islamic extremists. And if his bid to transform his country succeeds, even in part, it will have reverberations around the world. Longlisted for the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award

Tyranny, war, corruption, and terrorism follow oil and other natural resources - because of the same law that once allowed the slave trade and genocide, conquest, and apartheid. Political philosopher Leif Wenar shows how the West can lead the world beyond blood oil and conflict minerals to a more united, enlightened future.

PEN/West Award Finalist " Told with energy, perception and great charm. . . . For anyone who wants to . . . gain insight into the great cultural and political richness of Iran, past, present and future, this book is a marvelous introduction." --Fred Halliday, Los Angeles Times Iran was the first country in the Middle East to develop an oil industry, and oil has been central to its tumultuous twentieth-century history. A finalist for the PEN/West Award, Blood and Oil tells the epic inside story of the battle for Iranian oil. A prominent member of one of Iran's most powerful aristocratic families--so feared by Khomeini that the entire clan was blacklisted--Prince Manucher Farmanfarmaian was raised in a harem at the heart of Iran's imperial court. With wit and provocative detail, he describes the days when he served as the Shah's oil adviser and pioneered the partnership that resulted in OPEC. Beautifully written and epic in its scope, this scintillating memoir provides a fascinating history of modern Iran. " Distinguished by its political acumen, historical sense, and vividness of description and anecdote. It is also notable for a wry sense of humour. . . . Amid the euphoria about the development of the oilfields of Central Asia and the Transcaucasus, [its] lesson should be kept in mind." --Anatol Lieven, Financial Times "A book of stunning beauty . . . One of the best accounts of the cultural and political life of modern Iran, it is exquisite and intimate, rendered with art-istry and detail." --Fouad Ajami

Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself-a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch-and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon-and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.

Ever wondered about your blood group and what it might mean? If so, Bloody Blood Groups is the book for you. Open it up and rummage around the facts and arguments to find what is relevant - you might be surprised at what you find! Blood groups have been associated with a genetic predisposition to disease, intelligence, personality, ability, psychopathy and, physical attributes and all of these are discussed in the book with some of the reported unfounded nonsense separated from proven scientific conclusions. Simply explained, but entertaining with its tales all written in humorous style, the book also has the author's own working life interspersed between the description of facts and tales surrounding the ideas around blood groups. But what is a blood group? And where is it found? Answering these questions, the author also brings to life some of the bizarre conclusions and assumptions earlier investigations have claimed. Are you especially intelligent as a consequence of your blood type? Are you particularly handsome or good looking as a consequence of it? The ABO and Rhesus groups are explored as are the uncommon and really rare blood groups. Could you be one of those? Read on to find out!
