Bullard purchased a new holding there, but, shortly after arriving, went missing.  Kasha has worked for Bullard for five years. She's familiar with most of those who work for Legendary as well. Brandon proves his worth almost immediately, planning her boss’s rescue and staying right by her side in the days that follow while they determine what imbroglio Bullard's stepped into. Accident or a deal gone horribly wrong, it seems Bullard was running guns and now his newest holding is under attack.  Their emotions, heightened by danger, run hot as Brandon positions himself instinctively at Kasha’s side - which is exactly where he hopes to be permanently if they can just find a way out of this rapidly escalating mess. ungekürzt.

    It's 1951 in Sedalia, Missouri, and ragtime is making a comeback. When Brun Campbell, the old Ragtime Kid, learns of a journal kept by Scott Joplin, he hopes to acquire it and use it to convince Sedalia's movers and shakers to set up a ragtime museum. But plenty of other people also want that journal, including a historian who wants to publish it, an old friend of Joplin’s who wants to suppress it, and two Klansmen who don't care if they have to kill someone to get it. What's one murder, compared to the Klansmen's grand plan to blow up the high-school auditorium with its integrated audience during a ceremony honoring Joplin? In the middle of this imbroglio is Alan Chandler, a young pianist in love with ragtime. If Alan can stay alive, he may be able to prevent catastrophe and learn what it really means to be black in mid-twentieth-century America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

    From the author of the acclaimed Mr. China comes another rollicking adventure story - part memoir, part history, part business imbroglio - that offers valuable lessons to help Westerners win in China. In the 21st century, the world has tilted eastwards in its orbit; China grows confident while the West seems mired in doubt. Having lived and worked in China for more than two decades, Tim Clissold explains the secrets that Westerners can use to navigate through its cultural and political maze. Picking up where he left off in the international best-seller Mr. China, Chinese Rules chronicles his most recent exploits, with assorted Chinese bureaucrats, factory owners, and local characters building a climate change business in China. Of course, all does not go as planned as he finds himself caught between the world's largest carbon emitter and the world's richest man. Clissold offers entertaining and enlightening anecdotes of the absurdities, gaffes, and mysteries he encountered along the way. Sprinkled amid surreal scenes of cultural confusion and near misses are smart myth-busting insights and practical lessons Westerns can use to succeed in China. Exploring key episodes in that nation's long political, military, and cultural history, Clissold outlines five Chinese Rules, which anyone can deploy in on-the-ground situations with modern Chinese counterparts. These Chinese rules will enable foreigners not only to cooperate with China but also to compete with it on its own terms. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Critchlow.

    "Oltre alle regole scritte, quelle del codice e delle sentenze che lo interpretano c'è una serie di regole non scritte. Queste ultime vengono rispettate con molta più attenzione e cautela. E fra queste ce n'è una che più o meno dice: un avvocato non difende un cliente buttando a mare un collega. Non si fa, e basta. Normalmente chi viola queste regole, in un modo o nell'altro, la paga. O perlomeno qualcuno cerca di fargliela pagare". L'avvocato Guido Guerrieri deve correre questo rischio. C'è un uomo in carcere che si dichiara innocente, condannato in primo grado per traffico di droga. Le circostanze sono schiaccianti e lui stesso, in un primo momento, aveva confessato. Ma c'è però la possibilità che sia finito in una trappola orchestrata dall'avvocato di primo grado. Un maledetto imbroglio, dunque, che Guerrieri è restio a caricarsi, e non solo perché tutte le apparenze sono contro. Il detenuto non è una faccia nuova: ai tempi del movimento studentesco lo chiamavano Fabio Raybàn, picchiatore fascista ossessione dell'adolescenza di Guido. C'è anche una situazione personale ambigua che coinvolge l'avvocato: la fine forse di un amore, l'inizio pericolosissimo di un altro, e in ciascuno di questi incroci sembra materializzarsi lui, il detenuto che si proclama disperatamente innocente.

    Non è facile avere un pensiero. Se capita, bisogna stare in guardia. Po-trebbe essere niente più che un bagliore momentaneo oppure - ed è forse il caso più frequente - un imbroglio: la sensazione di un'epifania che prima di sciogliersi come neve al sole, sembra poter dare un senso a tutto. A B., che si era sempre creduto un sagrestano del pensiero, uno che doveva aver cura di coloro i quali un pensiero autentico l'avevano veramente avuto, qualcosa di simile a un pensiero cominciò a farsi strada nella fatica e nella solitudine di una situazione imbarazzante. Ed è un pensiero - quello che comincia a lavorare nella sua testa - che, malgra-do lo faccia sentire come nudo al cospetto del mondo, non lo abban-dona più, diventando in un certo modo la chiave - insieme tragica e felice - di un'esistenza. Franco Chiereghin è nato a Chioggia nel 1937, dove ha trascorso l'infanzia e l'adolescenza. Termi-nati gli studi liceali e universitari a Padova, ha insegnato per cinquant'anni discipline filosofiche presso la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell'Università patavina. Dopo il pensionamento, vive a Falcade, nell'alto Agordino. Ha pub-blicato molti lavori che spaziano dalla filosofia antica alla filosofia contem-poranea, dalla filosofia teoretica, alla filosofia pratica. Questo è il suo primo romanzo.

    In the spring of 1844, a fiery political conflict erupted over the admission of Texas into the Union. This hard-fought and bitter controversy profoundly changed the course of American history. Indeed, as Joel Silbey argues in Storm Over Texas, it marked the crucial moment when partisan differences were transformed into a North-vs-South antagonism, and the momentum towards Civil War leaped into high gear. Silbey, one of America's most renowned political historians, offers a swiftly paced and compelling narrative of the Texas imbroglio, which included an exceptional cast of characters, from John C. Calhoun and John Quincy Adams, to James K. Polk and Martin Van Buren. We see how a series of unexpected moves, some planned, some inadvertent, sparked a crisis that intensified and crystallized the North-South divide. Sectionalism, Silbey shows, had often been intense, but rarely widespread and generally well contained by other forces. After Texas statehood, it became a driving force in national affairs, ultimately leading to Southern secession and Civil War. With subtlety, great care, and much imagination, Joel Silbey shows that this brief political struggle became, in the words of an Alabama congressman, "the greatest question of the age" - and a pivotal moment in American history.The “Pivotal Moments in American History” series seeks to unite the old and the new history, combining the insights and techniques of recent historiography with the power of traditional narrative. Each title has a strong narrative arc with drama, irony, suspense, and – most importantly – great characters who embody the human dimension of historical events. The general editors of “Pivotal Moments” are not just historians; they are popular writers themselves, and, in two cases, Pulitzer Prize winners: David Hackett Fischer, James M. McPherson, and David Greenberg. We hope you like your American History served up with verve, wit, and an eye for the telling detail! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John H. Mayer.
