The greatest schemer of all time, the organizer of every deviltry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations - that's the man!'

Again and again it sounded, the whole air throbbing with it, strident, wild, and menacing.’ • When the body of Sir Charles Baskerville is found on the misty and desolate Devon moors, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson decide to investigate.

We live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the US President.

By a two-time debating world champion, a dazzling look at how arguing better can transform your life – and the world – for the better • Everyone debates, in some form, most days. Sometimes we do it to persuade; other times to learn, discover a truth, or simply to express something about ourselves.

Over the past few years, however, he’s noticed how we’re not only arguing more and more, but getting worse at it – a fact proven by our polarised politics. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, as well as those of illustrious participants in the sport such as Malcolm X, Edmund Burke and Sally Rooney, Seo shows how the skills of debating – information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion – are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives

And why? • Now, thanks to radical new technology and the obsession of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer.
