A revealing and controversial exposé of international white-collar crime.Alexander Lebedev continues his investigation of banksters (gangster-bankers) scams which he started in his autobiographical book, Hunt the Banker. Each chapter examines a different sophisticated fraudulent scheme whereby stolen billions are laundered in offshore tax havens and deposited in secret accounts with the major UK and US banks, invested in shares of blue-chip companies, and converted into mansions, yachts, private jets, works of art and luxury goods.The topics covered include the cheating of their customers by supposedly respectable financial institutions in Europe and America, their complicity in laundering illegal proceeds of corrupt officials from all over the world, the financial pyramid schemes of Bernie Madoff and other mega-fraudsters, and black holes in the charity universe.Lebedev investigates the phenomenon of the symbiosis of dirty money and the latest information technologies of the blockchain, which threatens the global financial system with a cryptocurrency apocalypse, and he describes the degradation of political elites inebriated by biased mainstream media and fake news stories.

In this vivid blend of memoir, nature writing and social criticism, Rebecca Tamás seeks new answers in old folk ways.Suffering from burn-out and grief both environmental and personal, Tamás sets out on a journey across the UK guided by the wheel of the year, marking each node of seasonal change with a ritual. From a confrontation with the sharp terror of winter at Samhain in Edinburgh to a giddy experience of collective joy at Padstows May Day, she finds in these traditional practices electric potential for transforming our relationship to the natural world and the passage of time.Intellectually probing and richly lyrical, The Book of Mysteries follows the drumbeat of ancient ritual towards an immersion in the wild time of the seasons, where we can free ourselves and encounter the life-giving otherness of the natural world.
