Lady Day - Robert O'meally - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Lady Day - Robert O'meally - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"Billie Holiday deserves a biography in which her musicianship isn''t overshadowed by the tragic events of her life. O''Meally has written that book," says Entertainment Weekly about this absorbing and authoritative account of the greatest jazz singer in history. O''Meally emphasizes Holiday''s artistry and training rather than her personal miseries, and he uses voluminous archival material to correct common myths about Holiday. Chronicling her rigorous musical apprenticeship in Baltimore, her reception in New York by Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and her work with various musicians, particularly Lester Young, Lady Day is an impassioned testament to Holiday''s genius that confirms her place in American jazz.

Underground Film - Parker Tyler - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Underground Film - Parker Tyler - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"For the first time brings some critical standards to bear where there is usually only complete condemnation or overblown praise."-- New York Times Book Review Parker Tyler (1904-1974), one of the few great American film critics, was intimate with and enormously respected by many of the underground and experimental filmmakers of his time. In this book, Tyler evaluated the Underground in general and the seminal films in particular, covering the history and scope of the genre with insight and verve. Like Tyler''s Screening of the Sexes: Homosexuality in the Movies is one of the masterpieces of cinema literature. Introduction by J. Hoberman Afterword by Charles Boultenhouse "In his excellent book, [Tyler] discusses, among others, Man Ray and the optical film, Brakhage''s first beatnik film, Cassavetes, Warhol, and I Am Curious (Yellow) (an astute analysis here). Indispensable for anyone interested in contemporary filmmaking, its history, personalities, and rationale."-- Publishers Weekly

Picasso's Mask - Andre Malraux - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Picasso's Mask - Andre Malraux - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"Just as the mask of the title symbolizes several aspects of Picasso''s life, this important book exists on at least four levels: as an affectionate memoir, an analysis of Picasso''s genius, a detailed commentary on much of his work, and a discussion of the significance of art in the modern world."-- Publishers Weekly Following Pablo Picasso''s death in 1973, André Malraux was summoned by Jacqueline Picasso, the artist''s widow, to her home at Mougins in the South of France. There, surrounded by Picasso''s powerful last paintings "painted face to face with death," and his art collection destined for the Louvre, Malraux recollected Picasso''s rebellious life and the metamorphosis of his art. In Picasso''s Mask , Malraux''s memories, at once personal and historical, evoke Picasso as a private man and as a legendary artistic genius. For over half a century, André Malraux (1901-1976) was intimately involved in French intellectual life, as philosopher, novelist, soldier, statesman, and secretary for cultural affairs. Malraux knew Picasso well, and here recollects a number of his conversations with the painter. In rich, evocative, and memory-filled prose, he has written an inspiring and moving reminiscence. Picasso''s Mask is one of the most profound works in Malraux''s remarkable oeuvre.

The Bravest Battle - Dan Kurzman - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

The Bravest Battle - Dan Kurzman - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"Monumental and awe-inspiring, this is the definitive story of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt. . . . The narrative accumulates power up to the last word."--Meyer Levin, Washington Star In October 1940 Nazis forced all the Jews in the Polish city of Warsaw to live in the cramped squalor of a small ghetto. Despite the starvation and disease that claimed 50,000 lives per year, the Jews were not dying swiftly enough to suit Heinrich Himmler, who ordered in 1942 that the Warsaw Ghetto be dismantled and the 450,000 inhabitants be deported to the gas chambers at Treblinka. On April 19, 1943, the first day of Passover, two thousand German troops, singing confidently, marched into the ghetto to round up the remnant of remaining Jews. Suddenly, a fifteen-year-old girl tossed a grenade in their midst. Within minutes the German army had been routed. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had begun. This is the first full-scale, step-by-step account of the climatic twenty-eight-day struggle of the poorly armed Jews against their Nazi exterminators. The Bravest Battle took more than two years to write and involved interviewing more than 500 people, including most of the surviving fighters. This moving history cannot be matched for its authenticity and drama. The Bravest Battle is a testament to the Warsaw Jews, who fought for survival with dignity and courage. "This is perhaps Kurzman''s best work. . . . He mixes moments of tenderness amid the terror as he draws individual portraits that endure."-- Publishers Weekly

Not Drinking Tonight - Amanda E White - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Not Drinking Tonight - Amanda E White - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

In this honest discussion of mental health, the founder of Therapy for Women explores our reasons for drinking alcohol—and the benefits of taking a break. When “retired party girl” and popular therapist Amanda White admitted she was an alcoholic, it wasn’t because she’d done something outrageous while under the influence, like land herself in jail or get married in Vegas. It was because she realized three things: 1. Alcohol was making her life worse. 2. Moderation wasn’t helping. 3. She could not be a therapist if she continued to use alcohol to numb her life. Something needed to change—not just her relationship with alcohol, but her relationship with herself. Choosing not to drink can be daunting. It’s everywhere in our culture, our socializing, and our destressing. And it can seem black or white: you drink, or you don’t (and if you don’t, people ask why). That’s where Not Drinking Tonight comes in. Judgement-free and relatable, Amanda helps you unpack your relationship with alcohol by showing you how to: 1) Find out why you drink. Whether it’s a glass of wine after work or a weekly bar crawl, your drinking habits can be the result of everything from biology to trauma. 1) Heal your relationship with alcohol. Understand how your relationships have been affecting your life, and learn how to set boundaries and create true self care. 1) Build the sober life you love. Learn what comes next—how to maintain your social life, navigate sex and relationships, and love yourself. Not Drinking Tonight isn’t a program to stop drinking. It’s the first book to help you address the root issues that cause you to reach for a drink, and create a life you love—one that is not perfect, but is messy and real and one you are fully present for.

Target Switzerland - Stephen Halbrook - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Target Switzerland - Stephen Halbrook - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"In the future it will be impossible to authoritatively discuss Switzerland during the dark years without having read Halbrook."--Dr. Jurg Stussi-Lauterburg, author of Federalism and Freedom In 1943, Adolf Hitler proclaimed that "all the rubbish of small nations still existing in Europe must be liquidated." In his diaries, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels described Switzerland as "this stinking little state." And as the Nazis readied to invade, the Gestapo prepared lists of Swiss to be executed once the Germans overran the country. Yet as the Nazi tide swept across continental Europe from the Pyrenees to the Volga, one nation still stood free, its flag unbowed in a sea of swastikas. Although countless books have been written on the military history of World War II, there is astonishingly little information on the one country that stared the Nazis down during the reign of the Third Reich. Target Switzerland is the first book in English to provide an objective, year-by-year account of Switzerland''s military role in World War II, including the Swiss policy of resistance, Nazi plans for invasion, and Switzerland''s secret links to the Allies. With the strong reputation of the Swiss as valiant fighters and freedom-loving people in the spirit of William Tell, for centuries the powers of Europe knew better than to contest her citizens in their own mountainous terrain. In a country where marksmanship is the national sport, the Swiss could call on highly trained soldiers (a higher percentage per capita than that of any other nation in Europe), all fully prepared to use their alpine terrain to best advantage. Thus Switzerland became isolated--but not intimidated--as surrounding countries fell. Here is the story of one small nation''s heroic resistance to Nazism, leading the reader to wonder how history might had been different had all of Europe been equally well-equipped to resist Nazi terror. "A fascinating and enlightening explanation of the dilemma Switzerland found itself in during the 1930s and 1940s."-- Publishers Weekly

Just Beyond the Light - D. Randall Blythe - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Just Beyond the Light - D. Randall Blythe - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

INSTANT PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Unnervingly raw and honest, this book is timeless wisdom that was earned the hard way.”—Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck From the author of Dark Days and lead singer of long-running extreme metal band, Lamb of God, a riveting and revelatory memoir about self-development and maintaining proper perspective through difficult times In his gripping, bestselling debut memoir Dark Days , Lamb of God vocalist D. Randall (Randy) Blythe unflinchingly wrote about some of the most harrowing episodes of his past. Now, in his highly anticipated follow-up Just Beyond the Light, Blythe shares how he works daily to maintain positivity in a world that feels like it is spinning out of control. In his own words, Just Beyond the Light is a "tight, concise roadmap of how I have attempted to maintain what I believe to be a proper perspective in life, even during difficult times." Written with a scathing balance of hard-edged reality offset by a knowing humor and a razor-sharp wit, voiced in in his inimitable, conversational, everyman-philosopher style, Blythe clearly breaks down his approach to life, which is a personal and idiosyncratic mix of sobriety, art, and surfing. He writes movingly of his childhood in the South, of fallen friends, of what he’s learned touring the world as the vocalist of a successful heavy metal band, and of the very real ways he is doing what he can to leave the world a better place. Above all, he offers readers hope that balance, real balance, is possible, even (or especially) when things seem hopeless. Compelling, compassionate, and refreshingly honest, Just Beyond the Light ultimately reminds readers that “as long as we keep our feet (and minds) planted firmly on the ground that is reality, the sky isn’t falling— it never has been, and it never will.”

Candace Pert - Pamela Ryckman - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Candace Pert - Pamela Ryckman - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Candace Pert stood at the dawn of three revolutions: the opioid crisis, the AIDS crisis, and the mind-body movement. Indeed, her visionary work shaped history – for good and, inadvertently, for evil. Before there was Bessel van der Kolk, there was Candace Pert, the Mother of the Mind-Body Revolution. Her story forms a launchpad to discuss the most pressing issues plaguing science and healthcare today. Pert played pivotal roles in major movements in both science and politics. Namely, she: - Discovered the opiate receptor (the mechanism by which opioids function in the brain), launching the opioid crisis. - Proved the mind-body link, launching the field of integrative or functional medicine. - Created Peptide T, the underground AIDS drug featured in the film Dallas Buyers Club, and then went rogue, becoming a linchpin in the black market for her drug. Pert was sabotaged by mentors and colleagues keen to profit from her brilliance. But she too became tainted, believing that her noble ends would justify devious means. Like a mythic hero, she succumbed to a fatal flaw, and her greatest strengths—singularity of purpose and blind faith in her own virtuosity—would prove to be her undoing. CANDACE PERT is a great read for anyone interested in integrative health, mind-body awareness, medical ethics, the bureaucracy of a toxic healthcare system, and a flawed genius whose scandals and breakthroughs shaped history. “Exemplary research, balanced accounts and deeply evocative prose... a truly insightful narrative on what it can mean to be a woman at the cutting edge of science. ” – The Wall Street Journal “ Riveting biography… nuanced portrait…Readers will be engrossed .” – Publisher's Weekly “ There is a revolution taking form that is significantly influencing how the Western medical community views health and disease. Candace Pert’s contribution to this revolution is undeniable. ” – Deepak Chopra “ Ryckman’s writing is life-like, suspenseful, and creates a roller coaster ride of stakes and unexpected discovery ” – Dr. Lisa Miller, New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain

Yours Cruelly, Elvira - Cassandra Peterson - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

**Instant New York Times Bestseller, Los Angeles Times Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, Publishers Weekly Bestseller** On Good Friday in 1953, at only 18 months old, 25 miles from the nearest hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, Cassandra Peterson reached for a pot on the stove and doused herself in boiling water. Third-degree burns covered 35% of her body, and the prognosis wasn''t good. But she survived. Burned and scarred, the impact stayed with her and became an obstacle she was determined to overcome. Feeling like a misfit led to her love of horror. While her sisters played with Barbie dolls, Cassandra built model kits of Frankenstein and Dracula, and idolized Vincent Price.Due to a complicated relationship with her mother, Cassandra left home at 14, and by age 17 she was performing at the famed Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. Run-ins with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tom Jones helped her grow up fast. Then a chance encounter with her idol Elvis Presley, changed the course of her life forever, and led her to Europe where she worked in film and traveled Italy as lead singer of an Italian pop band. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she joined the famed comedy improv group, The Groundlings, and worked alongside Phil Hartman and Paul "Pee-wee" Reubens, honing her comedic skills.Nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime, she auditioned at local LA channel KHJ as hostess for the late night vintage horror movies. Cassandra improvised, made the role her own, and got the job on the spot. Yours Cruelly, Elvira is an unforgettably wild memoir. Cassandra doesn''t shy away from revealing exactly who she is and how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. Always original and sometimes outrageous, her story is loaded with twists, travails, revelry, and downright shocking experiences. It is the candid, often funny, and sometimes heart-breaking tale of a Midwest farm girl''s long strange trip to become the world''s sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon.

Giannis - Mirin Fader - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

The story of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s extraordinary rise from poverty in Athens, Greece, to superstardom in America with the Milwaukee Bucks—becoming one of the most transcendent players in history and an NBA Champion—from award-winning basketball reporter and feature writer at The Ringer Mirin Fader. As the face of the NBA’s new world order, Giannis Antetokounmpo has overcome unfathomable obstacles to become a symbol of hope for people all over the world; the personification of the American Dream. But his backstory remains largely untold. Fader unearths new information about the childhood that shaped “The Greek Freak”—from sleeping side by side with his brothers to selling trinkets on the street with his family to the racism he experienced. Antetokounmpo grew up in an era when Golden Dawn, Greece’s far-right, anti-immigrant party, patrolled his neighborhood, and his status as an illegal immigrant largely prevented him from playing for the country’s top clubs, making his NBA rise all the more improbable. Fader tells a deeply human story of how an unknown, skinny, Black Greek teen, who played in the country’s lowest pro division and was seen as a draft gamble, transformed his body and his game into MVP material. Antetokounmpo’s story has been framed as a feel-good narrative in which everyone has embraced him—watching him grow up, sign a five-year supermax contract extension worth $228 million, and lead the underdog Bucks to the NBA Championship in 2021. Giannis reveals a more nuanced story: how lonely and isolated he felt, adjusting to America and the NBA early in his career; the complexity of grappling with his Black and Greek identities; how he is so hard on himself and his shortcomings—a drive that fuels him every day; and the responsibility he feels to be a nurturing role model for his younger brothers. Fader illustrates a more vulnerable star than most people know, a person who has evolved triumphantly into all of his roles: father, brother, son, teammate, and global icon. ** Instant New York Times Bestseller , Los Angeles Times Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, Publishers Weekly Bestseller** **Mirin Fader Selected as the 2021 Sports Media Author of the Year by The Big Lead** **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**
