Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
The NBC journalist who covered - and took fire from - Donald Trump on the campaign trail offers an inside look at the most shocking presidential election in American history. Katy Tur was one of a select cadre of NBC reporters on the road during the grueling 2016 presidential campaign, reporting from small towns and venues across America for more than 16 months. At the beginning of the primaries, Tur was assigned the Trump campaign - a campaign widely considered a long shot by politicos and the media. But primary after primary, the novice outsider trumped his rivals and won the hearts and votes of many Republicans. His appeal to working-class whites, the GOP's traditional middle and upper middle class base, and conservative evangelicals took him all the way to the White House, astonishing the nation and the world. Unbelievable is Tur's inside account of being embedded with the campaign, revealing what it was like to report on the most combative and volatile major party candidate ever to run for office and win. At first, Trump tried to charm Tur into providing fawning coverage. When that didn't work, he stooped to berating and shaming her, stoking the rage of his legion of supporters - many who threatened Tur and other penned-in reporters at his events. The vitriol reached such a fever pitch that following one rally, during which Trump launched a personal attack against her, the Secret Service had to accompany Tur to her car. But Katy was not alone. Millions of Americans watched in disbelief as Trump ordered Tur to "be quiet" during one of his many press conferences and called her "disgraceful", "third-rate", "not nice", and "Little Katy". In response, thousands of people across the country rushed to her defense, tweeting #imwithtur. Intriguing, disturbing, and powerful, Unbelievable is an unprecedented eyewitness account of the 2016 election from an intelligent, dedicated journalist at the center of it - a thoughtf ungekürzt.

Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age 20, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless "tombs" are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players.

Small Town, Hörbuch, Digital, 312min
The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this grand master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. That was the thing about New York; if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world.In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens (bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers) the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including:John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex-police commissioner, and the inside choice for the next mayor, on the verge of a breakdown; Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; and, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all.Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.

O Moedor de Pobres (eBook, ePUB)
Existem Estados pelo mundo que cobram altos impostos e oferecem muitos serviços à população. Outros têm oferta bem mais limitada, porém cobram poucos tributos, deixando a riqueza nas mãos dos cidadãos. Nosso Estado é de um terceiro tipo, mais próximo a um sádico obeso que rouba os que estão embaixo para dar aos grupinhos de cima, encastelados no poder. O Brasil é o inferno dos empreendedores, o terror de quem quer gerar emprego e riquezas. Quem produz é tratado como bandido e atrapalhado por um caminhão de burocracias e regras sem sentido. Os humildes pagam um percentual de imposto maior que os bilionários, o feirante paga IPVA no seu veículo de trabalho enquanto o rico tem helicóptero isento, a doméstica financia faculdade grátis do filho da patroa, enquanto seu marido pedreiro financia, via FGTS, os juros subsidiados das grandes empreiteiras. O vendedor de pipoca banca show de funk de artista rico, via Lei Rouanet. Via impostos estratosféricos cobrados mais dos pobres, todos arcam com os carros oficiais das vossas excelências, os prejuízos das estatais, os cabides de emprego dos ministérios, as pensões vitalícias das filhas de militares e as lagostas do STF. O Brasil real está afundando porque não aguenta mais bancar a corte da realeza. Isso não é um problema do governo A ou B e sim do nosso modelo de Estado. Enquanto não reformarmos profundamente a forma como pensamos o Estado, o Brasil não terá nenhuma chance de sair desse voo de galinha. Desde a Constituição de 1988, excetuando-se Venezuela, Argentina e algumas minúsculas nações miseráveis, o Brasil tem a pior performance de crescimento do planeta. Não somos mais o eterno "país do futuro". Nesse ritmo, logo estaremos na lanterna das nações, deixados para trás e com um povo cada vez mais empobrecido. É disso que se trata a análise de O Moedor de Pobres, obra de Alexandre Ostrowiecki, CEO da Multilaser e criador do Ranking dos Politicos. Com ótimo tato, sem enrolação e academicismos, Alexandre vai ao cerne do problema-Brasil. Uma obra que traz a sensação de frescor ao debate público, uma proposta sincera de uma mente lúcida a partir do mundo empresarial. O que devemos fazer para destravar esse leviatã que nos arrasta ao abismo? É isso que o autor se propõe a responder.- Shop: buecher
