No country presents as many challenges to America's business and political agenda as China. Once seen as a potential liberal democracy, the narrative has shifted toward the possibility of a new cold war, echoing the fears of the past. This comprehensive examination of China’s future in the post-Deng Xiaoping era offers a practical blueprint for business leaders, policymakers, and citizens as they navigate new strategies for engaging with a nation that could become either a partner or an adversary. The authors, seasoned experts who have been involved with China since the 1970s, provide insights based on extensive research and firsthand experiences with Chinese leaders and innovators shaping the new economic landscape. Major American companies view China as a crucial market for growth, making it essential for U.S. businesses to develop effective strategies in this competitive environment. The book articulates an innovative approach for the United States, grounded in realistic assessments of China's trajectory. It presents a clear vision of how China's political landscape may evolve over the next twenty-five years and how the U.S. can adapt accordingly, offering a balanced perspective on the implications of China's rise for American business, politics, and lifestyles.

SECRETS OF ANGELS AND DEMONS provides the curious reader with concise, authoritative explorations of the major themes that help propel the plot of Dan Brown's new bestseller, ANGELS AND DEMONS. Taking the same detailed approach as SECRETS OF THE CODE, Burstein examines the provocative issues raised in the novel: the existence and scope of the Illuminati and their relationship to other 'secret societies'; the ongoing, centuries-old debate between science and religion; the history and practices of the Vatican and pagan symbolism and its place within the Church. Burstein also explores the world of Bernini, master artist of the Baroque era, and the secret meanings behind his symbolism; what really happened in the trial of Galileo; and the real state-of-the-art of anti-matter technology. This book will delight and engage everyone who finished ANGELS AND DEMONS thinking, 'I need to know more about this book'.

This title offers a speculative inquiry into the mysteries surrounding the sequel to 'The Da Vinci Code'.

Readers of Dan Brown's extraordinary bestseller THE DA VINCI CODE are fascinated by the questions raised in the novel. Was Jesus actually married to Mary Magdalene? Was she one of his disciples and did she write her own gospel? Did they have a child together? Did some geniuses of art and science, people like Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton, belong to secret societies that had the most compelling insider information in history, and did Leonardo convey some of these ideas in The Last Supper and other paintings? SECRETS OF THE CODE is the definitive guide to the novel and provides the curious reader with authoritative explorations into the major themes within THE DA VINCI CODE.

Mary Magdalene was a key figure in Christ's life, she was present at his Crucifixion and she was also the first person to see him resurrected. According to Dan Brown's multi-million selling DA VINCI CODE, she was also his wife and the mother of his children. In the Gospels, she is described as an outcast and a harlot. This may be due to the disciples' jealousy of Jesus' love for Mary and the closeness of his relationship with her that was not replicated in his relationships with them. Dan Burstein will, as he has done so successfully with the previous books in the SECRETS series, explode the myths and analyse who Mary Magdalene was, the true nature of her relationship with Christ and her role in the Christian faith. Did Mary write her own Gospel? If so, what did it say? Where did she come from? Was she Jewish? How did she live? So many questions exist about this lady, Google can find mention of her on 1,740,000 sites in 0.3 seconds, and this book will find the answers.

Editoři Dan Burstein a Arne de Keijzer stavějí na základech vytvořených ve své předchozí knize, bestselleru Tajemství Da Vinciho kódu - Průvodce románem Dana Browna. V knize Tajemství Andělů a démonů vás vezmou na okružní jízdu po podnětných a provokativních tématech Brownova thrilleru Andělé a démoni.

Proč je postava Lisbeth Salanderové tak výjimečná a každý si ji zapamatuje? Co na smrti Stiega Larssona jsou jen spekulace a co skutečnost? Jaké změny se dějí v překladech Larssonových knih po jeho smrti a proč? Jak měla vypadat čtvrtá kniha série? Dochovaly se nějaké poznámky k tomu, kam se měla celá série, původně plánovaná jako desetidílná, vlastně ubírat? Měli jsme se potkat s Lisbethiným dvojčetem Camillou? Poskytla Lisbeth novou definici feminismu? Jak dopadnou boje mezi Larssonovými dědici? A kdo patří mezi nejslibnější pokračovatele tohoto významného spisovatele? To všechno a mnohem víc řeší kniha trojice autorů, kteří se rozhodli, že zmapují svět Stiega Larssona tak jako nikdo předtím. Dan Burstein, Arne de Keijzer a John-Henri Holmberg shromáždili množství pronikavých komentářů a podnětných rozhovorů, které odhalují, kolik toho knihy Stiega Larssona mají společného s jeho vlastním životem. Jeden z autorů, John-Henri Holmberg, byl po několik desetiletí Stiegovým přítelem. Díky tomu se o autorovi knih, které dobyly svět, dozvídáme víc, než jsme kdy mohli doufat.
