Ein unvergesslicher Sommer in den Sixties mit zwei Frauen, die nach der Freiheit greifen 
 New York, 1960. Als Marilyn Kleinman beim Knutschen mit dem Sohn des Rabbiners erwischt wird, schicken ihre Eltern sie den Sommer über zu ihrer Großtante Ada. Wenn irgendjemand den Ruf ihrer Tochter retten kann, dann ist es Philadelphias führende Heiratsvermittlerin. Zu Marilyns Überraschung ist Ada nicht die humorlose Siebzigjährige, die ihre Mutter beschrieben hat. Ada trägt platinblondes Haar, einen Hermès-Schal und fährt Cadillac. Sie ist scharfsinnig, geradeheraus, und sie lebt ein unabhängiges Leben, wie es für Frauen in dieser Zeit kaum denkbar ist. Für Marilyn wird es ein unvergesslicher Sommer, der letzte, bevor der Ernst des Lebens beginnt und sie sich entscheiden muss, welchen Weg sie gehen will.

Als Teenager verlor Simeon Brown bei einem rassistischen Angriff ein Auge. Seitdem lebt der junge afroamerikanische Journalist in seiner Heimatstadt Philadelphia in einem Zustand quälender Spannung. Nach einer gewalttätigen Begegnung mit weißen Matrosen beschließt Simeon, nach Paris zu ziehen, das als sicherer Zufluchtsort für schwarze Künstler und Intellektuelle bekannt ist, und schon bald ist er im Bann der Stadt des Lichts, wo er tun und lassen kann, was er will, ohne Angst zu haben. Durch Babe, einen anderen schwarzen amerikanischen Emigranten, findet er neue Freunde, und bald verliebt er sich in eine polnische Schauspielerin, die ein Konzentrationslager überlebt hat. Gleichzeitig beginnt Simeon jedoch zu ahnen, dass Paris nicht das rassismusfreie Wunderland ist, das er sich vorgestellt hat: Die französische Regierung bemüht sich, die Revolution in Algerien zu unterdrücken, und Algerier werden regelmäßig von der französischen Polizei angehalten und durchsucht, geschlagen und verhaftet...

How To Sleep At Night

How the world needs to adapt to climate change, and the key problems and hard choices that lie ahead for the global community. Heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes and flooding caused by climate change are already impacting people and nature. Adaptation until now has been incremental with governments and institutions tinkering around the edges of current systems. This will not be enough. Sink or Swim explores the hard choices that lie ahead concerning how people earn a living, the way governments manage relationships between countries, and how communities accommodate the movement of people. Should people be encouraged to move away from the coast? How can global food supplies be managed when parts of the world are hit by simultaneous droughts? How can conflict be handled when there isn't enough water? Drawing on cutting edge research, interviews with experts, and practical examples from across the world Susannah Fisher tells the story of the tough choices on adaptation and ways we can still have a liveable planet in the 21st century and beyond. Will we choose to sink or swim?

A Barack Obama Summer Reading List Selection Pulitzer Prize–winning author of G-Man and acclaimed historian Beverly Gage takes the ultimate road trip into the American past. Ride along with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums, historic sites, roadside attractions, reenactments, and souvenir shops where Americans learn—and fight—about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America’s greatest successes and challenges. The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon—or live up to—those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history—to experience it and confront it, to celebrate it and condemn it—in the places where it happened. Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat—or listen on audio with the windows down—and join the journey.

How the great political thinkers have persistently warned against the dangers of economic inequality

Economic inequality is one of the most daunting challenges of our time, with public debate often turning to questions of whether it is an inevitable outcome of economic systems and what, if anything, can be done about it. But why, exactly, should inequality worry us? The Greatest of All Plagues demonstrates that this underlying question has been a central preoccupation of some of the most eminent political thinkers of the Western intellectual tradition.

David Lay Williams shares bold new perspectives on the writings and ideas of Plato, Jesus, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx. He shows how they describe economic inequality as a source of political instability and a corrupter of character and soul, and how they view unchecked inequality as a threat to their most cherished values, such as justice, faith, civic harmony, peace, democracy, and freedom. Williams draws invaluable insights into the societal problems generated by what Plato called "the greatest of all plagues," and examines the solutions employed through the centuries.

An eye-opening work of intellectual history, The Greatest of All Plagues recovers a forgotten past for some of the most timeless books in the Western canon, revealing how economic inequality has been a paramount problem throughout the history of political thought.

The Greatest of All Plagues

From the award-winning author of Revolutionizing the Sciences, a monumental historical account of how of we came to see the world through the lens of science Science is the basis of our assumptions about ourselves and our world, from ideas about our evolutionary past to our conceptions of the vast expanses of space and the smallest particles of matter. In this panoramic book, acclaimed historian of science Peter Dear uncovers the roots of such beliefs, revealing how they constitute a natural philosophy that has been developed and refined over the course of centuries—and how the world as we have come to know it was by no means inevitable. In a sweeping, multifaceted narrative, Dear describes some of the most breathtaking accomplishments in the advance of human knowledge, such as Isaac Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, Carl Linnaeus’s taxonomy, Antoine Lavoisier’s new chemistry, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, and Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity. Challenging the notion that science is only about “making discoveries,” he shows how our world has been formed by people, institutions, and cultural assumptions, giving rise to disciplines ranging from biology and astrophysics to electromagnetism and the social sciences. Taking readers from the early eighteenth century to today, The World as We Know It reveals how our ideas about our place in the universe were bequeathed to us by individuals, cultures, and a curiosity that knows no bounds.

From Natural Philosophy to Modern Science

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A gritty, inspiring, heart-wrenching memoir by the Academy Award-winning legend and icon Sylvester Stallone, about his unlikely path to stardom and the creation of the greatest underdog story ever told.'Smart and dumb, thoughtful and ferocious, underestimated and overblown - Stallone's contradictions make him a cut above the average celeb, and this book a cut above the average celebrity memoir' The Times'I had no idea what to expect from this but it's an absolute knockout; a hugely entertaining page-turner that is both funny and uplifting . . . I hope he is already writing the next instalment' Mail on Sunday'[An] entertaining rags-to-riches memoir . . . Reads like a breakneck self-help manual' Guardian 'A sobering reminder of just how far Stallone had to go to make it . . . Grit made the man; The Steps shows us how he did it' Los Angeles Times***In the fifty years since Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, he and those steps have become symbols of resilience and determination, and have inspired millions from all over the world to pursue their dreams. In The Steps, Stallone recounts how he pursued his own dreams. A culmination of decades of reflection, Sly shares where he came from - a difficult birth, an even more difficult childhood, years of struggle in school being misunderstood - and he explains how the real story of a successful life is built by facing, embracing and ultimately overcoming our challenges. It's found in the distances we are willing to go and the steps we must take to get from where we are to where we want to go.In a narrative framed between Stallone's arrival in New York City in 1969 and the triumph of Rocky at the 1977 Academy Awards, Sly weaves a vivid and propulsive portrait of struggle, subsistence and ultimately success. He writes of his early days and later years, too, and the persistence, creativity and resilience that led not only to the creation of Rocky but to a career filled with remarkably iconic roles. The Steps is a testament to Stallone's extraordinary life and a profound meditation on the importance of vision and willpower and hard work.
