MtGox was the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world when it imploded in 2014, taking almost half a billion dollars in customer funds with it. The collapse of MtGox, triggered by a perfect storm of crippling hacks and spectacular mismanagement, shocked the Bitcoin world to its core and left the fledgling cryptocurrency on the ropes. Worse, it started a battle for compensation by creditors that has been going on for almost a decade with no end in sight. Ultimate Catastrophe covers the rise and fall of MtGox and the titanic fights waged by those whose lives were turned upside-down by its capitulation: the sleuths, both amateur and professional, who hunted down the hackers; the desperate desire of MtGox CEO, Mark Karpelès, to clear his name; and the efforts of the tens of thousands of defrauded customers to claw back what is rightfully theirs. With insight from those who built it, used it and investigated its demise, join Mark Hunter as he reveals for the first time the full story of the birth, life and untimely death of MtGox. Mark Hunter has been an author and ghostwriter for 20 years and a leading cryptocurrency writer since 2017. He is the founder and CEO of literary and audio content creator CONTENT: ED Media and is the co-founder and co-host of the podcast series Dr Bitcoin - The Man Who Wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto.
From the day he almost figured out how to use his stepfather's turntable, Dan Webster believed that he was destined for greatness.He had everything he needed: a voice, a vision, a broken home backstory, a dangerous way with the ladies, a notorious band, a practiced persona, and an authentic addiction. Only one thing was missing-a stage.Oh yeah...and one other little thing: talent.Rock Star: The Life, Legend, and Many Deaths of Dan Webster is part biography, part satire, part true crime, and part mythology. This novel is an examination of the curse of creativity in the absence of having anything to say. Set in the beautiful and boring expanse of Northern Michigan, it's a story of life and death and rock 'n' roll outside the margins.

Leadership is not born or inherited, it is taught and created on the brink of our greatest challenges-anyone can lead, but not everyone chooses to.
In some parts of South Africa, more than one in three people are HIV positive. Love in the Time of AIDS explores transformations in notions of gender and intimacy to try to understand the roots of this virulent epidemic. By living in an informal settlement and collecting love letters, cell phone text messages, oral histories, and archival materials, Mark Hunter details the everyday social inequalities that have resulted in untimely deaths. Hunter shows how first apartheid and then chronic unemployment have become entangled with ideas about femininity, masculinity, love, and sex and have created an economy of exchange that perpetuates the transmission of HIV/AIDS. This sobering ethnography challenges conventional understandings of HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
