Bright Shiny Morning - James Frey - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Bright Shiny Morning - James Frey - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''An absolute triumph of a novel'' Guardian ''Compulsive'' Independent Welcome to LA. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees. Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey''s trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.

American Cultural Patterns - Milton J. Bennett - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

American Cultural Patterns - Milton J. Bennett - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

A fully revised edition of the seminal classic This classic study was originally written by Edward Stewart in 1972 and has become a seminal work in the field of intercultural relations. In this edition, Stewart and Milton J. Bennett have greatly expanded the analysis of American cultural patterns by introducing new cross-cultural comparisons and drawing on recent reseach on value systems, perception psychology, cultural anthropology, and intercultural communication. Beginning with a discussion of the issues relative to contact between people of different cultures, the authors examine the nature of cultural assumptions and values as a framework for cross-cultural analysis. They then analyze the human perceptual process, consider the influence of language on culture, and discuss nonverbal behavior. Central to the book is an analysis of American culture constructed along four dimentions: form of activity, form of social relations, perceptions of the world, and perception of the self. American cultural traits are isolated out, analyzed, and compared with parallel characteristics of other cultures. Finally, the cultural dimentions of communication and their implications for cross-cultural interaction are examined.

''This tightly plotted tragicomedy will provide a welcome fix for addicts awaiting Herron''s seventh Jackson Lamb novel'' The Times ''Packed with Herron''s trademark witty one-liners and sardonic humour . . . it''s clear why Herron is a force to be reckoned with and the best thriller writer in Britain today'' Daily Express ''A slim serio-comic offering . . . It plays out typically cleverly'' Sunday Times If life in the Intelligence Service has taught John Bachelor anything, it''s to keep his head down.

John doesn''t know what secrets Benny Manors has stolen, but they''re attracting the wrong attention. And if he''s to save his own skin, not to mention safeguard his living arrangements, John has to find Benny before those secrets see the light.Benny could be anywhere, provided it serves alcohol. So John sets out on a reluctant trawl through the bars of the capital, all the while plagued by the age-old questions: Will he end up sleeping in his car?

Thief Prisoner Soldier Priest - Paul Cowley - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Thief Prisoner Soldier Priest - Paul Cowley - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Imagine growing up in a chaotic world where your parents are abusive and disfunctional. Family life is supposed to offer safety to children but for Paul Cowley he was exposed early on to heavy drinking, explosive arguments and aggression from his father, who threw him out the house when he stood up to him in defence of his mother. This one act proved to be decisive in Paul''s life, leading him into homelessness and petty crime as he mixed with the wrong crowd. Aged seventeen he was already behind bars. But having tasted life at rock bottom, Paul was determined to make something of his future. He joined the army which ''made a man of him'', but ultimately he lacked any direction and purpose and continued to make damaging life decisions, leading to divorce and estrangement from his own son. Things were not looking good, until a chance invitation to church from an old army PT meant that Paul''s search for meaning resulted in an unexpected encounter with God that changed his life for ever.This remarkable and touching true-life account of one man''s journey from thief to prisoner, soldier and, eventually, priest, should inspire anyone who feels their life is out of control or that, but for the grace of God, could have been in the same situation. It is, by turns, a dramatic, traumatic and even comic story, yet one that stands as a testament to how God offers hope to all who have the courage to respond.

Blackout - Sarah Hepola - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Blackout - Sarah Hepola - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY'' New York Times ''It''s such a savage thing to lose your memory, but the crazy thing is, it doesn''t hurt one bit. A blackout doesn''t sting, or stab, or leave a scar when it robs you. Close your eyes and open them again. That''s what a blackout feels like.'' For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was ''the gasoline of all adventure''. She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as an enlightened twenty-first-century woman.But there was a price. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Mornings became detective work on her own life. What did I say last night? How did I meet that guy?Publicly, she covered her shame with self-deprecating jokes, and her career flourished, but as the blackouts accumulated, she could no longer avoid a sinking truth. The fuel she thought she needed was draining her spirit instead.A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, BLACKOUT is the story of a woman stumbling into a new adventure-the sober life she never wanted. Shining a light into her blackouts, she discovers the person she buried, as well as the confidence, intimacy, and creativity she once believed came only from a bottle. Her tale will resonate with anyone who has been forced to reinvent themselves or struggled in the face of necessary change. It''s about giving up the thing you cherish most-but getting yourself back in return. A raw, vivid and ultimately uplifting memoir of addiction and recovery for anyone who is looking to find their way.

''Propulsive . . . Deeply reported and novelistic. I flew through it'' Ed Caesar''Jaw dropping even for North Korea . . . A terrific piece of up-close reportage that reads like a spy thriller but is all too real'' Anna Fifield HOW DID A COLLEGE KID BECOME A GLOBAL FUGITIVE? In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realised he had found a cause to which he could devote his life. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety. Meanwhile, Hong''s secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government''s activities, and its volatile ruler, Kim Jong-un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong-nam, the dictator''s older brother, Hong, along with US Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Jong-nam''s family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated­ a series of ­high-stakes direct actions, culminating in ­an armed­ raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid - an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world''s most unlikely global fugitives. The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of how a trip down the safe and well-worn path of activism soon morphed into something extremely dangerous. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope - who broke numerous details of Hong''s operations in­ the Wall Street Journal -reveals his remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world''s most mysterious and unsettling nation.

The Sociopath Next Door - Martha Stout - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

The Sociopath Next Door - Martha Stout - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

WHO IS THE DEVIL YOU KNOW? Is it your lying, cheating ex-husband?Your sadistic high school gym teacher?Your boss who loves to humiliate people in meetings?The colleague who stole your idea and passed it off as her own?In the pages of The Sociopath Next Door, you will realize that your ex was not just misunderstood. He''s a sociopath. And your boss, teacher, and colleague? They may be sociopaths too.We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people- 1 in 25 - has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 everyday people, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your colleague, your neighbour, even family. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt. How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They''re more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others'' suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.The fact is, we all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already. Part of the urgency in reading The Sociopath Next Door is the moment when we suddenly recognize that someone we know - someone we worked for, or were involved with, or voted for - is a sociopath. But what do we do with that knowledge? To arm us against the sociopath, Dr Stout teaches us to question authority, suspect flattery, and beware the pity play. Above all, she writes, when a sociopath is beckoning, do not join the game. It is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and The Sociopath Next Door will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know.

In the tradition of Jon Krakauer''s Into the Wild , The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo-to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope-who broke numerous details of Hong''s operations in The Wall Street Journal- now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world''s most mysterious and unsettling nation.
