Set largely on the pages of a website where gay male escorts are reviewed by their clients, and told through the postings, emails, and conversations of several dozen unreliable narrators, The Sluts chronicles the evolution of one young escort's date with a satisfied client into a metafiction of pornography, lies, half-truths, and myth. Explicit, shocking, comical, and displaying the author's signature flair for blending structural complexity with direct, stylish, accessible language, The Sluts is Cooper's most transgressive novel since Frisk, and one of his most innovative works of fiction to date.

In this New York Times bestselling "charming debut” (People)—soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks—from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. "If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

"A masterpiece. On behalf of everyone grappling to understand their unique brains, thank you! Truly life changing." Alex Partridge, host of ADHD Chatter and bestselling author of Now It All Makes Sense New to the world of AuDHD? Let us explain... You're probably familiar with autism or with ADHD by now: an increase of information online has helped more people advocate for assessments. However, much of the discussion around the two conditions centres on their neurological differences. But what about those diagnosed with both? Where do the two conditions intersect and overlap? Explaining AuDHD is a straight-talking guide for those trying to understand Autism and ADHD as a combined diagnosis. Using real-life stories of people living with AuDHD, this book offers advice for those grappling with a diagnosis, and provides a framework for readers to advocate for themselves and discuss it with loved ones. Written in accessible prose by consultant pyschiatrist and expert in Autism and ADHD Dr Khurram Sadiq, Explaining AuDHD is a worthwhile read for anyone questioning their own neurodiversity, undergoing assessment, or making sense of their recent diagnosis.

It's all in the bucket, that invisible bucket that follows you everywhere... teaches young readers valuable lessons about giving, sharing, and caring. This guide to daily happiness, though, is not just for kids. We all need reminders of the benefits of positive thinking and positive behavior. It's an important lesson to teach and remind us all . . . that showing kindness and appreciation of others goes a long way to making this world a happier place for everyone, including ourselves. A classic tale, beautifully told and beautifully shared." --Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite Book ReviewsWhile using a simple metaphor of a bucket and a dipper, author Carol McCloud illustrates that when we choose to be kind, we not only fill the buckets of those around us, but also fill our OWN bucket! Conversely, when we choose to say or do mean things, we are dipping into buckets. All day long, we are either filling up or dipping into each other's buckets by what we say and what we do. When you're a bucket filler, you make the world a better place to be!This 32-page picture book is perfect for children, parents, grandparents, teachers and people that want to teach empathy, nurture kindness and create a positive environment in their home, classroom, workplace and community.
Sind wir die Nächsten? Carlo Masalas aufrüttelndes Szenario Nachdem die russischen Truppen die unter massivem Munitions- und Personalmangel leidenden Stellungen der ukrainischen Armee im Süden und Osten des Landes durchbrochen haben, rücken sie erneut bis nach Kiew vor - diesmal erfolgreich. Präsident Selensky und seine Regierung werden gestürzt, ein autoritäres Marionettenregime von Moskaus Gnaden rückt an ihre Stelle. Während die russische Gesellschaft weiter auf Kriegswirtschaft umgestellt bleibt, kann sich die gewaltige und nunmehr kampferprobte Armee des Landes in den folgenden Jahren erholen. Und sie hat aus ihren Fehlern in der Frühphase des Ukrainekriegs gelernt. Zudem rüsten China, Iran und Nordkorea ihren Verbündeten in Moskau weiter auf. Die Amerikaner haben sich militärisch inzwischen weitgehend aus Europa zurückgezogen, um alle Kräfte auf den drohenden Krieg mit China im Pazifik zu konzentrieren. Deutschland und Frankreich haben es immer noch nicht geschafft, eine schlagkräftige europäische Sicherheitsallianz aufzubauen. Und am frühen Morgen eines milden Märztages im Jahr 2028 rücken russische Panzer, flankiert von Bombern und unterstützt von massivem Raketenbeschuss, im Baltikum ein. Im NATO-Hauptquartier in Brüssel muss eine Entscheidung getroffen werden, bevor die Dinge ihren Lauf nehmen ... Es ist nur ein hypothetisches Zukunftsszenario, das der renommierte Politikwissenschaftler und Militärexperte Carlo Masala in seinem neuen Buch entwirft - aber es zeigt auf besonders drastische Weise, was heute auf dem Spiel steht. "Je weiter Russland in der Ukraine vorrückt, desto wahrscheinlicher wird ein europäischer Flächenbrand, der auch Deutschland erfasst." - Carlo Masala ist der gefragteste Sicherheitsexperte Deutschlands und regelmäßiger Gast im TV - Er hat ca. 170.000 Follower bei X - Wenn Russland in der Ukraine gewinnt - ein aufrüttelndes Szenario über die Folgen für Deutschland und Europa - Vom Fall Kiews zum russischen Einmarsch ins Baltikum: Wie würde die NATO reagieren, falls es dazu kommt?

Exact Facsimile of 1940 Edition. All 16 Color charts reproduced in color. Livermore was one of the greatest traders of all time. At his peak in 1929, Jesse Livermore was worth $100 million. In late 1939, Livermore's son, Jesse Jr., suggested to his father that he write a book about his experiences and techniques in trading in the stock and commodity markets. The book was completed and published by Duell, Sloan and Pearce in March 1940. His methods were still new and controversial at the time, and they received mixed reviews from stock market gurus of the period. How to Trade Stocks offered traders their first account of that famously tight-lipped operator's trading system. Written in Livermore's inimitable, no-nonsense style, it interweaves fascinating autobiographical and historical details with step-by-step guidance on: Reading market and stock behaviors Analyzing leading sectors Market timing Money management Notable Quote: "The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."

In das Stadtbild von Berlin hat sich seine Geschichte unwiderruflich eingebrannt, so auch die Nutzung von Plätzen und Gebäuden durch die Nationalsozialisten. Doch an welchen Schauplätzen jenseits einer "Welthauptstadt Germania" und der unheilvollen Zerstörung durch die Bombenangriffe im Kampf um Berlin 1945 das Alltagsleben stattfand, ist weit schwieriger zu belegen. Heute sind solche Orte ohne historisches Wissen kaum wiederzuerkennen. Für den Berlin-Besucher wie den interessierten Hauptstädter ist deshalb ein Stadtführer entstanden, der in kompakter Form alle wichtigen Schauplätze der NS-Geschichte in Berlin und der näheren Umgebung vorstellt. Auf jeweils einer Doppelseite werden die Informationen zu einem Ort graphisch aufbereitet und übersichtlich dargestellt. Auch die vierfarbige Gestaltung unterstützt ein schnelles Erfassen der wesentlichen Fakten, die so ausgewählt wurden, daß sie für sich sprechen und eine kritische Bewertung ergeben. Ausklappbare Karten erleichtern das schnelle Auffinden der Orte und das Zusammenstellen eigener Besuchsrouten. Behandelt werden unter anderem der Adolf-Hitler-Platz und das Alliierten-Museum, das Denkmal für die Ermordeten Juden Europas und der Dienstsitz des Reichsführers SS, die Euthanasiezentrale und der "Führerbunker", die Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand und das KZ Columbiahaus, der "Hakenkreuz-Wald" und das Nazibordell "Salon Kitty", das Sowjetische Ehrenmal in Treptow und der Sportpalast, die Gedenkstätte Topographie des Terrors und der Volksgerichtshof, das Wohnhaus von Joseph Goebbels und die zahlreichen Zwangsarbeiterlager.

The Mamba Mentality: How I Play by Kobe Bryant The first book from the basketball superstar Kobe Bryant - a lavish, deep dive inside the mind of one of the most revered athletes of all time In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe "The Black Mamba” Bryant has decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary "Mamba mentality.”Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it "the right way,” The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever. For the first time, and in his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They’ll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career. Bryant’s detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryant’s very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016—and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer.The combination of Bryant’s narrative and Bernstein’s photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world’s most celebrated and fascinating athletes.
