This is a book about China's grand strategy and its future as an ambitious, declining, and dangerous rival power. Once the darling of U.S. statesmen, corporate elites, and academics, the People's Republic of China has evolved into America's most challenging strategic competitor. Its future appears increasingly dystopian. This book tells the story of how China got to this place and analyzes where it will go next and what that will mean for the future of U.S. strategy. The China Nightmare makes an extraordinarily compelling case that China's future could be dark and the free world must prepare accordingly.
There is a high risk that someone will use, by accident or design, one or more of the 17,000 nuclear weapons in the world today. Many thought such threats ended with the Cold War or that current policies can prevent or contain nuclear disaster. They are dead wrong—these weapons, possessed by states large and small, stable and unstable, remain an ongoing nightmare. Joe Cirincione surveys the best thinking and worst fears of experts specializing in nuclear warfare and assesses the efforts to reduce or eliminate these nuclear dangers. His book offers hope: in the 1960s, twenty-three states had nuclear weapons and research programs; today, only ten states have weapons or are seeking them. More countries have abandoned nuclear weapon programs than have developed them, and global arsenals are just one-quarter of what they were during the Cold War. Yet can these trends continue, or are we on the brink of a new arms race—or worse, nuclear war? A former member of President Obama’s nuclear policy team, Cirincione helped shape the policies unveiled in Prague in 2009, and, as president of an organization intent on reducing nuclear threats, he operates at the center of debates on nuclear terrorism, new nuclear nations, and the risks of existing arsenals.
What if our dreams came true? What about our Nightmares? Archaeologist John Smith, who has been conducting a mysterious excavation in the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy for 10 years, which began in 2012, discovers a peculiar statue one day, and after he finds the statue and brings it home, his little daughter Elsa suddenly begins to have strange and terrible nightmares one night. These dreams that ignored at first, contain a series of cryptic messages about a terrible impending catastrophe that will change the fate of the Archaeologist and later the whole world, and even more frighteningly, over time, these nightmares begin to come true. In the nightmares this demonic creature communicates in Latin and requests a single thing: Victim, much victim as possible. So, more and more people die every day! Moreover, this Devil and his statue, who says that he comes from the other world, from Hell, haunt the little girl’s the dreams and tell her that he has come to start a series of disasters and wars in the world. Over time, he begins to give her commands and direct her. The little girl starts to change without realising it, and her family and the world start to change and drift towards evil. What's more, as the Devil and his statue from Hell put its plans into action one by one through nightmares, Archaeologist John Smith and his friend History Professor Gregory Kravnik begin to investigate the matter and what they can do, they realise that these extraordinary events are not the first in history. Moreover, even the Bible mentions this statue and its curse. Because, 2000 years ago in 79 AD, when Pompeii and the entire Italian peninsula were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and were buried under the lava, this Devil had already contacted the world with the nightmares of a little child and led it to destruction. But this is the second and final warning and destruction. This is a final warning of the coming Apocalypse. Elsa finally goes into a trance and communicates with the spirit of this child, whose name is Gabriel, and everyone finally learns the truth and how these Nightmares and the Devil can be stopped: To go inside Mount Vesuvius, which is active again after 2000 years later, And to destroy this stone statue by droping into the centre of the volcano, into the lava. However, this will not be easy at all. Because, a very secret and mysterious Order, which dates back to the Knights Templar and their continuation, has been after this statue for centuries. Moreover they actually worship this statue and one night they secretly kidnap it from John Smith's house. Meanwhile, the nightmares are getting worse and a great catastrophe is fast approaching. So much so that if this catastrophe happens, the world will never be the same again. Until someone or something stops him and these nightmares from Hell..

A moving and powerful account of the problems faced by a new generation, from crime to poverty to an increasingly divided society, from an extraordinarily accomplished young activist and entrepreneur. My name is Jeremiah Emmanuel. I'm twenty years old. I'm an activist, an entrepreneur, a former deputy young mayor of Lambeth and member of the UK Youth Parliament. I wanted to change the world, but the world I was born into changed me first. Raised in south London, I lived in an area where crime and poverty were everywhere and opportunities to escape were rare. Violence was accepted, prison was expected. Your best friend might vanish overnight, never to be seen again. That was the world I knew; the only one I thought was possible for people like me. But somehow, as I got older, I found my way to a different world: a place where people listened to you, where opinions were heard, where doors were opened, where there were opportunities around every corner. Everything had stayed the same and everything had changed. This is the story of how I did it, the people who helped me get there, and the huge hurdles I - and my entire generation - have to learn to face and overcome. It's the story of how to move forward in a world that's holding you back.
