The Dog Who Changed the World

An uplifting collection of real-life stories of the rebels, resistance fighters, saboteurs, escapees and survivors who held on to hope through the horrors of the Holocaust When Auschwitz was liberated in 1945, after the horror of one of history's greatest atrocities, the world rejoiced. Although seven thousand people had survived this ordeal, the camp had also been witness to countless others who had resisted, sabotaged and even escaped from their captors. Some fought for their freedom or against injustice, and others disrupted Nazi operations. Then there were those who found ways to hold on to hope and positivity and spread it to their fellow inmates - a source of light in one of the world's darkest places. This book celebrates those heroes of Auschwitz, telling the inspiring true stories of the ordinary prisoners who became symbols of hope and defiance. At turns touching and uplifting, these stories show the best of humankind and are testament to the incredible resilience and bravery that shines through even in the toughest times.

Inspiring True Stories of Hope, Love and Survival

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

Chasing Hollywood is not just a marketing book. It is a memoir wrapped in the cultural phenomenon of films that have shaped our lives.Learn timeless lessons about the remarkable hard work and genius artistry that went into the creation and promotion of movies we love. Films that served as must-see moments for the last two generations. The pop-culture infiltrators that have marked our years and shaped our shared memories, giving us the stars, catch-phrases and bold ideas that people still talk about--whether we're growing up, growing old, looking inward, or coming out.Sometimes audiences don't know what they want, simply because they haven't seen it before--in part because of the massive blockades created by corporate ownership and mainstream media saturation from big-dollar marketing campaigns, constructed by the powers that be in order to keep outsiders and little guys down and out.These powers still exist in the film world, and the social media world, and the book world, too, just as they exist in almost every industry today, when even the most well-funded marketing departments struggle to break through the unstoppable wall of noise created by the overflow of information and content that floods consumers' feeds and screens every second of every day.But guess what?Blockades are still breakable, and even the tallest walls are surmountable. We just need to take an indie-film approach to breaking through.

Markus Kavka über Depeche Mode

From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral&nbsp;8 Passengers&nbsp;family vlog –&nbsp;now the subject of a new Disney+&nbsp;docuseries –&nbsp;and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface&nbsp;– Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: 'Finally'. For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, 'ConneXions'. No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.

Für Conny sind die Tiere nicht bloß Kühe, sie sind Lebewesen, deren Bedürfnisse über die Maßen schützenswert sind. Und das geht ins Herz.

Mein Vater, Auschwitz und der 7. Oktober

Vielleicht wollte er gar nicht schweigen, er fand bloß die Worte nicht

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendor of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

The Fast, Trusted Way to Make Smarter Decisions in Work, Love, and Life

10-10-10, Revised & Updated

In the era of artificial intelligence, the hardest question is no longer how to build but what to create. Part memoir and part practical guide, The Founders Journey reveals what separates a successful start-up from the rest.Garry Tan, President and CEO of Y Combinator, also provides deeply personal insight on his own journey from a precarious childhood in Fremont to the center of Silicon Valley, where he has helped launch thousands of companies, including Airbnb, Coinbase, and Stripe.Through real-world case studies and hard-earned lessons, this book teaches founders to develop the judgment to seize opportunities others miss—and the resilience to pursue them before they make sense to anyone else. It also confronts the human side of building: co-founder conflict, self-sabotage, and the psychological patterns that shape decision-making under pressure. In a moment when technology has unlocked unprecedented individual leverage, the future will belong to those who can decide what is worth building and act on it.

The Founder's Journey

The Good Stuff Doesn't Break

From bestselling and award-winning author and professor Elizabeth McCracken comes an irresistible look at the art of writing.Writing can feel like an endless series of decisions. How does one face the blank page? Move a character around a room? Deal with time? Undertake revision? The good and bad news is that in fiction writing, there are no definitive answers to such questions: writers must come up with their own. Elizabeth McCracken, author of bestselling novels, National Book Award long-listed story collections, and a highly praised memoir, has been teaching for more than thirty-five years, guiding her many students through their own answers.In A Long Game, she shares insights gleaned along the way, offering practical tips and incisive thoughts about her own work as an artist. The book covers: <ul><li>Understanding and developing characters</li><li>Plot, and what to do if it eludes you</li><li>Her thoughts on common writing “rules”</li><li>And of course, the Butter Cow Lady of the Iowa State Fair and her work as it relates to revision</li></ul> Writing “is a long game,” she notes. “What matters is that you learn to get work done in the way that is possible for you, through consistency or panic. Through self-recrimination or self-delusion or self-forgiveness: every life needs all three.” As much a book about the life of a working artist as it is a guide to thinking about fiction, A Long Game is a revelatory and indispensable resource for any writer.
