From Rick Wilson-longtime Republican strategist, political commentator, Daily Beast contributor-the #1 New York Times bestseller about the disease that is destroying the conservative movement and burning down the GOP: Trumpism. Includes an all-new chapter analyzing Trump's impact on the 2018 elections. In the #1 New York Times bestselling Everything Trump Touches Dies, political campaign strategist and commentator Rick Wilson delivers "a searingly honest, bitingly funny, comprehensive answer to the question we find ourselves asking most mornings: 'What the hell is going on?' (Chicago Tribune). The Guardian hails Everything Trump Touches Dies, saying it gives, "more unvarnished truths about Donald Trump than anyone else in the American political establishment has offered. Wilson never holds back." Rick mercilessly exposes the damage Trump has done to the country, to the Republican Party, and to the conservative movement that has abandoned its principles for the worst President in American history. Wilson unblinkingly dismantles Trump's deceptions and the illusions to which his supporters cling, shedding light on the guilty parties who empower and enable Trump in Washington and in the media. He calls out the race-war dead-enders who hitched a ride with Trump, the alt-right basement dwellers who worship him, and the social conservatives who looked the other way. Publishers Weekly calls it, "a scathing, profane, unflinching, and laugh-out-loud funny rebuke of Donald Trump and his presidency." No left-winger, Wilson is a lifelong conservative who delivers his withering critique of Trump from the right. A leader of the Never Trump movement, he warned from the start that Trump would destroy the lives and reputations of everyone in his orbit, and Everything Trump Touches Dies is a deft chronicle the tragicomic political story of our time. From the early campaign days through the shock of election night, to the inconceivable train-wreck of Trump's first year. Rick Wilson provides not only an insightful analysis of the Trump administration, but also an optimistic path forward for the GOP, the conservative movement, and the country. "Hilarious, smartly written, and usually spot-on" (Kirkus Reviews), Everything Trump Touches Dies is perfect for those on either side of the aisle who need a dose of unvarnished reality, a good laugh, a strong cocktail, and a return to sanity in American politics.

True stories of sudden death in the classic collection by a master of American journalism "Reporters love murders," Calvin Trillin writes in the introduction to Killings. "In a pinch, what the lawyers call 'wrongful death' will do, particularly if it's sudden." Killings, first published in 1984 and expanded for this edition, shows Trillin to be such a reporter, drawn time after time to tales of sudden death. But Trillin is attracted less by violence or police procedure than by the way the fabric of people's lives is suddenly exposed when someone comes to an untimely end. As Trillin says, Killings is "more about how Americans live than about how some of them die." These stories, which originally appeared in The New Yorker between 1969 and 2010, are vivid portraits of lives cut short. An upstanding farmer in Iowa finds himself drastically changed by a woman he meets in a cocktail lounge. An eccentric old man in Eastern Kentucky is enraged by the presence of a documentary filmmaker. Two women move to a bucolic Virginia county to find peace, only to end up at war over a shared road. Mexican American families in California hand down a feud from generation to generation. A high-living criminal-defense lawyer in Miami acquires any number of enemies capable of killing him. Stark and compassionate, deeply observed and beautifully written, Killings is "that rarity, reportage as art" (William Geist, The New York Times Book Review). Praise for Killings "Riveting tales of murder and mayhem. . . . [Calvin] Trillin is a superb writer, with a magical ability to turn even the most mundane detail into spellbinding wonder. Armed with this wealth of material, he utterly shines. Every piece here is a gem."-The Seattle Times "What Mr. Trillin does so well, what makes Killings literature, is the way he pictures the lives that were interrupted by the murders. Even the most ordinary life makes a terrible noise . . . when it's broken off."-Anatole Broyard, The New York Times "Fascinating, troubling . . . In each of these stories is the basis of a Dostoevskian novel."-Edward Abbey, Chicago Sun-Times "The stories . . . are unforgettable. They leave us, finally, with the awareness of the unknowable opacity of the human heart."-Bruce Colman, San Francisco Chronicle "[Trillin] writes brilliantly. . . . These stories still hold up, as classics."-The Buffalo News "In his artful ability to conjure up a whole life and a whole world, Trillin comes as close to achieving the power of a Chekhov short story as can anyone whose material is so implacably tied to fact."-Frederick Iseman, Harper's Bazaar "I have a book for you true-crime addicts if you're caught up on the podcast Serial, the cascade on TV of 48 Hours and Dateline NBC episodes. . . . It's time to pick up Calvin Trillin's Killings."-The New York Times Book Review "Well-crafted and thoughtfully composed, lacking judgment and admonishment, these are a true piece of quality journalism, which clearly continues to captivate audiences."-Library Journal "With telling detail and shrewd insights, [Calvin Trillin] masterfully evokes the places and personalities that hatched these grim episodes."-Publishers Weekly

An instant New York Times and Indie bestseller! From the bestselling author of the Truly Devious books, Maureen Johnson, comes a new stand-alone YA about a teen who uncovers a mystery while working as a tour guide on an island and must solve it before history repeats itself. The fire wasn’t Marlowe Wexler’s fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist. With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that’s how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It’s easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition. Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths? Maybe this job isn’t such a gift after all. Morning House has a horrific secret that’s been buried for decades, and now the person who brought her here is missing. All it takes is one clue to set off a catastrophic chain of events. One small detail, just like a spark, could burn it all down—if someone doesn’t bury Marlowe first. * Chicago Public Library Best Teen Fiction 2024 * Horn Book Fanfare 2024 Booklist * Children's Book Council Favorites Award List 2025 * Edgar Award Nominee *

ER: The Oral History is a deep dive into the show that began the modern medical drama phenomenon, and it contains new interviews with over 60 people, including John Wells and Noah Wyle (showrunner and star of the original ER, respectively, and executive producers of HBO's The Pitt), Eriq LaSalle, Laura Innes, Ming-Na Wen, Paul McCrane, Rick Rossovich, and Goran Visnjic. Long before Jurassic Park was the embryo of an idea in Michael Crichton's mind, there was ER. A medical student who dreamt of a career in Hollywood, Crichton did what any aspiring writer would: he created a script based on time working in a high-octane hospital emergency department. Of course, nobody wanted it. It wasn't until Crichton turned his attention to dinosaurs and his 1990 novel Jurassic Park became a megahit - and a mega-movie franchise - that Steven Spielberg's camp asked the former doctor what other ideas he was kicking around. Producers weren't interested in Crichton's dream to make a hospital film. But, they were looking for new television series programming and thought there might be something even bigger in the concept than a movie. And, thus, ER was born. Despite some resistance from NBC's top brass, the Warner Bros. Television drama became an overnight hit with its high-adrenaline storylines, realistic dialogue, and bona fide (not to mention hot) stars in the making in the cast, including Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards, and an actor who didn't end up amounting to much named George Clooney. ER premiered opposite the popular CBS drama Chicago Hope and quickly cannibalized its competition. It would, in its heyday, average 35 million viewers per season (in an era before streaming and DVRs), and was either the number one or number two most watched show on television for six years. Over the course of its fifteen years on air ER would feature weddings, births, break-ups, death, and medical conundrums in just about every form you could imagine. Although stars like Clooney and Margulies would come and go, ER introduced (or, in some cases, re-introduced) the world to actors like Maura Tierney, Mekhi Phifer, Linda Cardellini, Ming-Na Wen, and Scott Grimes. It won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and was nominated a staggering 124 times. As popular as Grey's Anatomy is now, there would be no Grey Sloan Memorial without County General.

Two witches plot revenge but end up falling in love in this sparkling, magical romantic comedy . . . Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one - in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams. But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago. On her first night home, Emmy runs into Talia Avramov - an all-around badass adept in the darker magical arts - who is fresh off a bad breakup . . . with Gareth Blackmoore. Talia had let herself be charmed, only to discover that Gareth was also seeing Linden - unbeknownst to either of them. And now she and Linden want revenge. Only one question stands: Is Emmy in? But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Mannheim, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ausgezeichnet mit dem Pulitzer Preis und dem New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, zählt David Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross zu den wichtigsten Dramen der amerikanischen Gegenwartsliteratur. 1983 im Cottesloe Theatre in London uraufgeführt, wurde es mit Begeisterung aufgenommen und gewann noch im gleichen Jahr den Society of West End Theatres Award for the Best Play. Seine amerikanische Premiere feierte das Stück knapp sechs Monate später im Goodman Theatre in Chicago, und erhielt einen so großen Zuspruch, dass es bereits nach wenigen Wochen an den Broadway verlagert wurde. Nachdem Mamet bereits mit American Buffalo (1973) der nationale wie internationale Durchbruch gelungen war, konnte er sich dank Glengarry Glen Ross als einer der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Autoren der Vereinigten Staaten etablieren. Glengarry Glen Ross zeigt einen Ausschnitt von knapp vierundzwanzig Stunden aus dem Leben einer Gruppe von Immobilienverkäufern. Anhand der vier Salesmen Shelly Levene, George Aaronow, Dave Moss und Ricky Roma sowie deren Vorgesetztem John Williamson setzt sich das Stück mit verschiedenen Facetten des Scheiterns auseinander. Als Rahmen der Handlung dient dabei ein Einbruch in das Maklerbüro. Gegliedert in zwei Akte, führt der erste Akt in einer Sequenz dreier dialogischer Einzelszenen in die Welt der Salesmen ein, wobei das Dominanzstreben der Figuren im Mittelpunkt steht. Der zweite Akt führt die einzelnen Zwiegespräche zusammen und bringt die etablierten Machtverhältnisse ins Wanken. Indem schlussendlich alle Hauptfiguren versagen, problematisiert das Stück die Auswirkungen des kapitalistischen Systems auf Individuum und Gemeinschaft. Aus diesem Grund konzentrieren sich Rezensenten des Dramas vorwiegend auf den Aspekt der Gesellschafts- und Systemkritik. [...] Allerdings sollte Glengarry Glen Ross nicht nur als ein Angriff auf die materialistischen Werte und das Leistungs- und Erfolgsdenken der amerikanischen Gesellschaft oder als ein Stück über "The American Dream [...] gone bad" verstanden werden. Die Salesmen sind nicht nur Opfer, sondern auch Urheber jenes Systems, welches Menschen ausschließlich nach wirtschaftlichen Kriterien bewertet. Insofern handelt das Drama nicht nur von sozialer, sondern auch von individueller Schuld.

MIT PAUL KLEE, MIES VAN DER ROHE UND ANNI ALBERS AUF BAUHAUS-TOUR Die Menschen am Bauhaus waren offen und experimentierfreudig, damit haben sie sich aber auch viele Feinde gemacht: Dieses Buch erklärt dir, warum das so war. Nach der Schließung der Schule 1933 in Berlin zogen einige Bauhäusler von Europa auf andere Kontinente. Wohin gingen Paul Klee, Mies van der Rohe, Anni Albers, Marcel Breuer, Fiedl Dicker und Arieh Sharon? Warum fanden ihre Entwürfe von schicken Bauhaus-Lampen, praktischen Möbelstücken oder eckigen Häusern auch in anderen Ländern viel Anklang? Wusstest du, dass Hannes Meyer, Marianne Brandt und Lilly Reich nach dem Ende des Bauhauses auch für Projekte in Moskau, Peking und Chicago gearbeitet haben? Und dass Paul Klee einer der Ersten war, die loszogen, um In-spirationen außerhalb Deutschlands zu sammeln? Er hat von seinen Reisen nach Kairo, Luxor und Assuan eine orientalische Farbpalette mitgebracht und beeindruckende Motive wie aus „Tausendundeiner Nacht“. Folge den Spuren der zehn ausgewählten Bauhäuslern und du wirst staunen: Die Bauhäusler haben ihr Bauhaus in fast allen Ländern der Erde berühmt gemacht.  - Eine spannende und informative Bauhaus-Geschichte  - Illustrierten Weltkarten zeigen Objekte und Lebensstationen - Zehn Lebensläufe von berühmten Bauhäuslern - Bilder von Lampen, Möbeln, Teppichen und Spielzeug  - Für Jungs und Mädchen ab acht Jahren BAUHAUS-LAMPEN + BAUHAUS-MÖBEL + BAUHAUS BAUTEN = BAUHAUS-KUNST Der Band nennt alle wichtigen Stätten, in denen Bauhaus nach seiner Schließung 1933 eine Rolle gespielt hat, präsentiert die relevanten Bereiche und Arbeiten aus den Werkstätten und bettet diese Informationen in die spannenden Lebensläufe von zehn Bauhäuslern ein. Illustriert werden Textilien, Lampen, Möbel, Gemälde, Spielzeug, Theaterentwürfe und natürlich auch Bauhaus-Bauten.  FÜNFTER BAND DER COOL ILLUSTRIERTEN BAUHAUS-KINDERBÜCHER Das Buch ist, wie schon die vier Vorgängerbände, komplett illustriert. Das Vorsatzpapier zeigt eine Weltkarte mit den Objekten und Namen der Bauhäusler, das Nachsatzpapier präsentiert eine Weltkarte mit den Lebensstationen und Routen der Bauhäusler als roter Wollfaden.  Diese tollen Details wollen entdeckt werden und laden den Leser zu einer Tour um den Globus ein!

An instant New York Times and Indie bestseller! From the bestselling author of the Truly Devious books, Maureen Johnson, comes a new stand-alone YA about a teen who uncovers a mystery while working as a tour guide on an island and must solve it before history repeats itself. The fire wasn't Marlowe Wexler's fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist. With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that's how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It's easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition. Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths? Maybe this job isn't such a gift after all. Morning House has a horrific secret that's been buried for decades, and now the person who brought her here is missing. All it takes is one clue to set off a catastrophic chain of events. One small detail, just like a spark, could burn it all down-if someone doesn't bury Marlowe first. * Chicago Public Library Best Teen Fiction 2024 * Horn Book Fanfare 2024 Booklist * Children's Book Council Favorites Award List 2025 * Edgar Award Nominee *

Sandheden er let at overse, selv når den er lige for øjnene af os. Retsmedicinsk rekonstruktør Rory Moore kaster lys over uopklarede drabssager ved at sætte detaljer sammen, som andre overser. Da hun rydder op i sin afdøde fars advokatkontor en uge efter begravelsen, får hun et opkald, der kaster hende ud i en årtier gammel sag, der er vågnet til live. I sommeren 1979 forsvandt fem kvinder fra Chicago. Forbryderen med tilnavnet Tyven efterlod sig hverken lig eller spor – før politiet modtog en pakke fra en mystisk kvinde ved navn Angela Mitchell, hvis uortodokse efterforskningsevner tilsyneladende havde ført frem til ham. Men Angela forsvandt, før de nåede at udspørge hende. Fyrre år senere står Tyven til prøveløsladelse for mordet på Angela – den eneste forbrydelse, som distriktsadvokaten kunne sætte ham fast for. Men de kryptiske sagsakter, som Rory finder i sin fars advokatkontor, antyder, at der var mere at sige om sagen og Angela Mitchell, end offentligheden fik at vide. Detaljerne har ligget begravet i fire årtier. Rorys talenter kommer på en prøve, da hun begynder at rekonstruere Angelas sidste dage. Hun gør den ene forbløffende opdagelse efter den anden og bliver hjælpeløst spundet ind i gåden om Angela Mitchell. Idet hun trækker tråde mellem fortid og nutid, afdækker hun den mørke sandhed om det ensomme offer, sin far og den mand, der kaldes Tyven. Sandheden sender hende ned ad en snoet sti, hvor tingene måske ikke er det, de giver sig ud for. Da hun fortsætter gravearbejdet, er selv Rory ikke forberedt på den fulde, forfærdende sandhed, der dukker frem …

A New York Times Notable Book; a Barack Obama's end of year favorite of 2022; and the winner of Canada Reads Kate Beaton's Ducks stunned the world with its unflinching honesty and candid vulnerability, cementing its place in the graphic novel canon alongside Maus, Persepolis, and Fun Home. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, young Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush-in the tradition of East Coasters seeking gainful employment when they can't find it in the homeland they love so dear. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands puts Beaton's natural cartooning prowess on display. Colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles are set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, Northern Lights, and Rocky Mountains. But as one of the few women among thousands of men working for the world's largest oil companies, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed. For young Katie, her wounds may never heal. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is the first graphic novel to win Canada Reads, and was named Best Book of 2022 by The New Yorker, Time, NPR, The Chicago Tribune, and The Washington Post. One of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Books of the year, it was also named among the Best Graphic Novels of the Year by Forbes, The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.

From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes a literary, intimate study of time, space, and the nature of love. Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. CHICAGO, SOMETIME- Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings. For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision. To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability-until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?
