"The Origins of Victory" [Hardcover] by Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr. is a book that provides a definitive take on the race for military dominance in the twenty-first century. It demonstrates how militaries that successfully pursue disruptive innovation can gain a major advantage over their rivals, while those that fail to do so risk exposing their countries to great danger.

"The Master and His Emissary" by Iain McGilchrist offers a pioneering exploration of the differences between the brain’s right and left hemispheres and their effects on society, history, and culture. This work has been described as "one of the few contemporary works deserving classic status” by Nicholas Shakespeare of The Times, London. It persuasively argues that our society is suffering from the consequences of an over-dominant left hemisphere losing touch with its natural regulative ‘master’ the right. This book has been hailed as brilliant and disturbing and was named a Guardian Best Book of the Year by Salley Vickers.
