Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography A Washington Post Notable Book Finalist for the PEN America Literary Award One of Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best History Books of the Year One of AAIHS's Best Black History Books of 2024"Though broad strokes of Tubman's story are widely known, Miles probes deeper, examining her inner life, faith and relationships with other enslaved Black women to paint a deeper, more vibrant portrait of a historical figure whose mythic status can sometimes overshadow her humanity." The New York TimesFrom the National Book Awardwinning author of All That She Carried, an intimate and revelatory reckoning with the myth and the truth behind an American everyone knows and few really understandHarriet Tubman is among the most famous Americans ever born and soon to be the face of the twenty-dollar bill. Yet often she's a figure more out of myth than history, almost a comic-book superhero. Despite being barely five feet tall, unable to read, and suffering from a brain injury, she managed to escape from her own enslavement, return again and again to lead others north to freedom without loss of life, speak out powerfully against slavery, and then become the first American woman in history to lead a military raid, freeing some seven hundred people. You could almost say she's America's Robin Hood, a miraculous vision, often rightly celebrated but seldom understood.Tiya Miles's extraordinary Night Flyer changes all that. With her characteristic tenderness and imaginative genius, Miles explores beyond the stock historical grid to weave Tubman's life into the fabric of her world. She probes the ecological reality of Tubman's surroundings and examines her kinship with other enslaved women who similarly passed through a spiritual wilderness and recorded those travels in profound and moving memoirs. What emerges, uncannily, is a human being whose mysticism becomes more palpable the more we understand ita story that offers us powerful inspiration for our own time of troubles. Harriet Tubman traversed many boundaries, inner and outer. Now, thanks to Tiya Miles, she becomes an even clearer and sharper signal from the past, one that can help us to echolocate a more just and sustainable path.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'From the Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times reporter who has defined Donald J. Trump's presidency like no other journalist: a magnificent and disturbing reckoning that moves beyond simplistic caricature, chronicling his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency and his potential comeback. Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means. Interviews with hundreds of sources and numerous interviews over the years with Trump himself portray a complicated and often contradictory historical figure. Capable of kindness but relying on casual cruelty as it suits his purposes. Pugnacious. Insecure. Lonely. Vindictive. Menacing. Smarter than his critics contend and colder and more calculating than his allies believe. A man who embedded himself in popular culture, galvanizing support for a run for high office that he began preliminary spadework for 30 years ago, to ultimately become a president who pushed American democracy to the brink. The through-line of Trump's life and his presidency is the enduring question of what is in it for him or what he needs to say to survive short increments of time in the pursuit of his own interests. Confidence Man is also, inevitably, about the world that produced such a singular character, giving rise to his career and becoming his first stage. It is also about a series of relentlessly transactional relationships. The ones that shaped him most were with girlfriends and wives, with Roy Cohn, with George Steinbrenner, with Mike Tyson and Don King and Roger Stone, with city and state politicians like Robert Morgenthau and Rudy Giuliani, with business partners, with prosecutors, with the media, and with the employees who toiled inside what they commonly called amongst themselves the 'Trump Disorganization.' That world informed the one that Trump tried to recreate while in the White House. All of Trump's behavior as President had echoes in what came before. In this revelatory and newsmaking book, Haberman brings together the events of his life into a single mesmerizing work. It is the definitive account of one of the most norms-shattering and consequential eras in American political history'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Welcome aboard the Hankyu train! Come along on a heartwarming, funny, and a perfectly cozy voyage with the charming and relatable passengers-including one dashing dachsund-whose lives intersect and affect each other on one of Japan's most romantic railway lines from the international bestselling author Hiro Arikawa. Between the two beautiful Japanese towns of Takarazuka and Nishinomiya, in a stunning mountainous area of Japan, rattles the Hankyu train. Passengers step on and off, lost in thought, contemplating the tiny knots of their existence. On the outward journey we are introduced to the emotional dilemmas of five characters, and on the return journey six months later, we watch them resolve. A young man meets the young woman who always happens to borrow a library book just before he can take it out himself; a woman in a white bridal dress boards looking inexplicably sad; a university student leaves his hometown for the first time; a girl prepares to leave her abusive boyfriend; and an old lady discusses adopting a dog with her granddaughter. These fully developed stories crisscross each other like the railway lines in the book. As ever with Arikawa's writing, the characters are vivid and delightful, their predicaments touching on universal human desires and emotions that feel utterly familiar. Her warmth spills over, alongside a fierce wit, a bit of fun railway geekery, and plenty of delicious detail about the beauties and traditions of the Japan we travel through with these unforgettable passengers'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Many of us spend our lives in the endless pursuit of self-improvement. If we could rid ourselves of anxiety, depression, our inability to turn down a scoop of ice cream-then we will be happy. If we buy those trendy yoga pants and start meditating everyday--then we will be accepted. But the truth is, what we're told is abnormal is actually entirely human. And our attempt to cure ourselves of this humanity is what will eventually drive us all mad. Talia Pollack discovered this the hard way. To an outside observer, everything in her life was going great. But on the inside, she couldn't shake the sense that something was fundamentally wrong. When therapy, medication, and self-help books ultimately failed, she turned to an unlikely resource that helped her see herself and the world clearly for the first time: Existentialist philosophy. Echoing the timeless wisdom of philosophers and the timely research of social scientists, Pollock offers a modern take on finding the courage to create your own meaning and navigate the challenges of a comfortably uncomfortable life'-- Provided by publisher.

Work harder, with more focus. Stop procrastinating. Optimize. To be happy, creative, and successful requires discipline. The most important thing is to be efficient with every precious hour.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Newcastle, Australia, 1972. On a sticky summer night, a choice must be made: to give in to queer desire or suppress it; to venture into the unknown or stay the course. In alternating chapters, we trace the two versions of a life that follows. In one, a teenage girl is caught kissing her neighbor and is kicked out from her home. She lands at a queer communal home in Sydney called Uranian House, where she meets the people who will forever become her family. Meanwhile, in the second, a teenage girl pushes down her lustful dreams of her best friend and eventually makes her way to a university in Sydney to study English literature. During pivotal moments, the physical space between these two women closes--like when they each meet the first great loves of their lives in 1977 at a protest, or when, almost a decade later, they are both rushed to the hospital with only a curtain between them'.
