This is a story of Nigeria, told from the inside. After a successful career in the private sector, Nasir El-Rufai rose to the top ranks of Nigeria's political hierarchy, serving first as the privatization czar at the Bureau for Public Enterprises and then as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja under former President Olesegun Obasanjo. In this tell-all memoir, El-Rufai reflects on a life in public service to Nigeria, the enormous challenges faced by the country, and what can be done while calling on a new generation of leaders to take the country back from the brink of destruction. The shocking revelations disclosed by El-Rufai about the formation of the current leadership and the actions of prominent statesmen make this memoir required reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of power politics in Africa's most populous nation.

En Safari accidental Juan Villoro reúne crónicas que lo confirman como uno de los mayores exponentes del género que él mismo denomina «el ornitorrinco de la prosa». Villoro visita a su Satánica Majestad Mick Lagger, viaja con Salman Rushdie a Tequila, sigue a la caravana zapatista en su ruta a la Ciudad de México, recupera la historia de amor de Fitzgerald y su esposa Zelda, dialoga con Bono, Peter Gabriel, Yoko Ono y Martin Amis. Las situaciones y los personajes célebres alternan con textos más personales: el autor recuerda a su padre durante el movimiento estudiantil del 68, descubre los recónditos placeres de la computadora Apple, evoca las enseñanzas de su maestro Augusto Monterroso y emprende una arriesgada fenomenología del chile. La crónica es una cacería frecuentemente determinada por el azar. El expedicionario que sale en pos de un león se topa con el inesperado ornitorrinco. En su versátil recorrido, Villoro retrata a un grupo que no siempre cabe en la misma foto: cien millones de mexicanos, y traza la geografía humana de algunas emblemáticas regiones de nuestro tiempo: el Berlín anterior y posterior al Muro, La Habana de todas las luces, Tijuana, la frontera más cruzada del mundo, y el parque temático por antonomasia, el reino gobernado por un ratón de fieltro, la plástica utopía de Disney World. De acuerdo con Juan Villoro los cronistas memorables son como los grandes del jazz: improvisan la eternidad. Safari accidental es un excepcional viaje en pos de esas eternidades.

In As Long as It’s Fun, the biography of Lin and Larry Pardey, Herb McCormick recounts their remarkable sailing career—from their early days in Southern California to their two circumnavigations to their current life in a quiet cove in New Zealand. Through interviews with their families, friends, and critics, McCormick delves deeply into the couple’s often-controversial opinions, sometimes-tenuous marriage, and amazing list of accomplishments. As Long as It’s Fun is as much a love story as it is a sea yarn, and, like all such stories, it’s not without complications . . . which makes it not only a sailing tale but also a human one.
