'Raw, provocative, chaotic, and – dare I say – slutty' COLLEEN HOOVER A thrilling memoir by The White Lotus and Euphoria actor, Lukas Gage, which chronicles his upbringing in a broken family, struggles with borderline personality disorder, and his commitment to always being the centre of attention. Lukas Gage was having one of the shittiest weeks of his life. Not only was his beloved grandmother dying across from the building where, months prior, Lukas had grappled with the dissolution of his marriage, but he was also forced to sit next to his mostly absent, tit-obsessed father the entire time.Naturally, Lukas did the smartest thing anyone can do in a crisis of death, divorce and daddy issues: doom scroll to see what random people on the internet were saying about him. People were calling him an attention whore – and they were absolutely right. As a toddler, he set his room on fire.As a child, he flirted with women at Hooters to his father’s delight. As a teen he fell hopelessly in love with a girl who wore an ankle monitor. He became an actor and filmed that scene in The White Lotus (if you know, you know).Lukas was scared of attention and yet he craved it more than anything in the world. I Wrote This for Attention is an exquisite memoir that details Lukas’ coming of age in the haunting underbelly of San Diego. Capturing universal anxieties – of transitioning from innocence to adulthood, of feeling too much and nothing at all, of sex and death, of fame and familial strife, of drug abuse and Raya – this book is a remarkable achievement of healing, vaping through therapy sessions and having the courage to forgive the family that hurt you.

The long-awaited memoir by Cameron Crowe—one of America’s most iconic journalists and filmmakers—revealing his formative years in rock and roll and bringing to life stories that shaped a generation, in the bestselling tradition of Patti Smith’s Just Kids. If you’ve seen Almost Famous, you may think you know this story, but you don’t. 'His clarity of observation and memory, his choice words, his people – Cameron Crowe, wonderfully, continues to serve us' WES ANDERSON Cameron Crowe was an unlikely rock and roll insider.Born in 1957 to parents who strictly banned the genre from their house, he dove headfirst into the world of music. By the time he graduated high school at fifteen, Crowe was contributing to Rolling Stone. His parents became believers, uneasily allowing him to interview and tour with legends like Led Zeppelin; Lynyrd Skynyrd; Bob Dylan; Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young; and Fleetwood Mac.Crowe spends his teens politely turning down the drugs and turning on his tape recorder. He talks his journalism teacher into giving him class credit for his road trip covering Led Zeppelin’s 1975 tour. He earns the trust of icons like Gregg Allman and Joni Mitchell who had sworn to never again speak to Rolling Stone.He embeds with David Bowie as the sequestered genius transforms himself into a new persona: The Thin White Duke. Why did Bowie give Crowe such unprecedented access? 'Because you’re young enough to be honest,' Bowie tells him. This intimate family drama charts the path that leads Crowe to writing and directing some of the most beloved films of the past forty years, from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything to Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous.With its vivid snapshots of a bygone era and a celebration of creativity and connection, The Uncool is an essential read for music lovers or anyone chasing their wildest dreams.
The astonishing story of the Sassoons, one of the nineteenth century's preeminent commercial families and 'the Rothschilds of the East'The Sassoons were one of the great business dynasties of the nineteenth century, as eminent as traders as the Rothschilds were bankers. This book reveals the secrets behind the family's phenomenal success: how a handful of Jewish exiles from Ottoman Baghdad forged a mercantile juggernaut from their new home in colonial Bombay, the vast network of agents, informants and politicians they built, and the way they came to bridge East and West, culturally as well as commercially. As one competitor remarked, 'silver and gold, silks, gums and spices, opium and cotton, wool and wheat - whatever moves over sea or land feels the hand or bears the mark of Sassoon & Co.'Drawing for the first time on the vast family archives, Joseph Sassoon brings vividly to life a succession of remarkable characters. From a single generation: Flora, the first woman to steer a major global business, Siegfried, the poet, and Victor, the tycoon who drew the stars of Hollywood's silent era to his skyscraper in Shanghai. Through the lives these ambitious figures built for themselves in London, Bombay and beyond, the reader is drawn into a captivating world of politics and power, innovation and intrigue, high society and empire.The Global Merchants is thus at once an intimate portrait of a single family and a panorama of the hundred and thirty years of their prominence: from the Opium Wars and opening of China to the American Civil War, the establishment of the British Raj to India's independence. Together these give a fresh perspective on the evolution of one of the defining forces of their age and the present: globalization. The Sassoons were variously its agents, advocates and casualties, and watching them moving through the world, we perceive the making of our own. Autorid: Joseph Sassoon
Water covers over two-thirds of the Earth, which is why we call it the blue planet. Tropical oceans surround the Earth in what is known as an equatorial band between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° North latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° South latitude). This belt contains sections of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans as well as the majority of the Indian Ocean. Tropical seas are most known for their coral reefs which provide a rich ecosystem for marine life, offering food and shelter among their crevices and branches for animals including fishes, molluscs, sea urchins and sponges. Some estimates report the worlds oceans are home to 20,000 species of fish. Ocean fishes come in all shapes, sizes, colors and live in drastically different depths and temperatures. Our understanding of ocean life has changed dramatically in the last decade, with new species, new behaviours, and new habitats being discovered at a rapid rate. Explore coral reefs that shimmer in a kaleidoscope of colours. Venture to the bottom of the ocean where creatures beyond your wildest imagination live in the dark. With stunning colour photography, Tropical Fish is a gorgeous celebration of the warmest parts of our watery world and the marvellous creatures that call it home. Autorid: David Alderton

A vivid, human and radical history of one of the most powerful revolutionary movements of the twentieth century - told through the lives and in the voices of countless forgotten men and women'A gripping, human story of love, idealism and betrayal - and an immense, rigorous contribution to the historical record. Reading it feels revolutionary' Naomi KleinHere Where Live Is Our Country is the story of a revolutionary movement - the Jewish Bund - which played a part in nearly every major conflict in Eastern Europe from 1900-1945, but still remains an almost unknown part of twentieth-century history. The movement's central philosophy of "herenes" - the belief that Jews had a right to freedom and dignity in the countries where they lived - led them to fight the Tsar, reject Zionism, resist the Nazis, and ultimately help lead the Warsaw ghetto revolt. It is also a philosophy that immediately resonates with the political situation all over the world today. In this book, Molly Crabapple tells the story of the Bund through the lives of the bold and brilliant individuals who were pivotal to carrying out the doctrine, including her own great-grandfather, through whom she first discovered the movement.
Broch geht es darum, den psychischen, massenpsychologischen sowie politischen Ursachen und Mechanismen nachzuspüren, die zu faschistischen Systemen in Europa führten. Dichterisches Modell ist ein Alpendorf, in das ein Fremder namens Marius Ratti kommt. Jeder sozialen Schicht und den verschiedenen Generationen vermag Ratti die Erfüllung geheimer Hoffnungen und Wünsche glaubhaft zu versprechen. Indem er Interessengegensätze ausnutzt, die Jugend militarisiert, Minoritäten verfolgt, eine zukünftige materielle Überlegenheit des Dorfes über die Nachbardörfer verheißt und es versteht, massenwahnartige Ekstasen auszulösen, ergreift Ratti die Macht.
