Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A guide to the most illuminating literature of the modern world. Science fiction and fantasy comprise some of the great works of the human imaginationand some of the most abhorrent. This is your Politically Incorrect Guide® to a literary tradition that is a key to understanding the modern wor…ld. Before men knew how to write, they were telling each other stories of gods and monsters. But science fiction and fantasy are not escapist literatures and they never have been. Science fiction grapples with the great questions of technology and human society. Fantasy grapples with the great questions of the human spirit. A reader who can find his way to the enduring classics of these genres will be immeasurably enriched. In this book you'll learn about futurists and dreamers such as Ray Bradbury and J. R. R. Tolkien, master storytellers such as Orson Scott Card and Isaac Asimov, troubled scribes such as J. K. Rowling and George R. R. Martin, and failed visionaries who preach a dysfunctional anti-human future such as Ursula LeGuin and the covens of woke disciples infesting the literature of the imagination.The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy is a gazetteer to futures filled with big dreams and innovation, imparting a healthy sense of wonder and mapping those dangerous regions filled with dragons waiting to consume with fire the careless, uninformed, and prideful. All is chaos, yet nothing is new. This is the perfect moment to give guidance to readers and to new practitioners alike.

In this incisive and provocative book, Evan Osnos offers an unforgettable portrait of the tactics and obsessions driving this new Gilded Age, in which superyachts, luxury bunkers, elite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations bespeak staggering disparities of wealth and power.With deft storytelling and meticulous reporting, Osnos explores the indulgences, incentives and psychological distortions that define our time. He delves into the unprecedented influence Silicon Valley and Wall Street have on government, drawing on in-depth interviews with Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires. He also exposes the hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous, fabulous, ridiculous detail: a private wealth manager who broke with members of an American dynasty and spilled their secrets; the pop stars who perform at lavish parties for thirteen-year-olds; the status anxieties that spill out of marinas in Monaco and Palm Beach like real-world episodes of Succession and The White Lotus.Originally published in the New Yorker, these essays have been revised and expanded to deliver an unflinching portrait of the rise of America's modern oligarchy.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*\*\*Winner of the Motorsports Book of the Year at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2026\*\*\*\*\*Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025\*\*Silverstone, 1950 - the first post-war Grand Prix and the birth of Formula One. The king and queen, alongside 150,000 spectators,… watch in dismay as Italy's Alfa Romeos scream past to claim the first three places. British cars are hopelessly outclassed by Alfa Romeos and Maseratis. How can it be, they all wonder, that Italy, its industry reduced to rubble by Allied bombs so recently, has set new standards of speed and style that leave the rest of the world for dust Italy's ability to outflank its more powerful and better-equipped neighbours is nothing new. At the turn of the century Italy made so few cars that its output wasn't recorded, by 1907 Italian cars and drivers swept the board in the first Grand Prix season. In Superveloce, Peter Grimsdale explores the mystery of how a country with no industrial revolution, hampered by poverty, came to represent an innovation and flair that other countries struggled to match.Grimsdale traces a century of Italian design genius, the rise of great marques such as Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. We see the lives of fiercely charismatic and competitive drives like Ascari, Varzi and Nuvolari. Does the secret lie deep in Italy's cultural heritage - in historic links between art and machine going back to da Vinci Or is it simply 'sprezzatura' - the art of making something difficult look effortlessly easy.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -From a longtime Vanity Fair writer and editor, a delightfully entertaining, intelligent, and illuminating history and tribute to teen moviesfrom Rebel Without a Cause to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and on to John Hughes, Mean Girls, The Hunger Games, and more.What influence did Francis Ford Coppola… have on George Lucas's American Graffiti And Lucas on John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood How does teenage sexuality in Fast Times at Ridgemont High compare to Twilight Which teen movies pass the Bechdel test Why is Mean Girls actually the last great teen film of the 20th century In the same way that Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls connects the films of the 1970s to the period's cultural upheaval, and David Hadju's Positively 4th Street tells the story of the sixties through the emergence of folk music, Bruce Handy's Hollywood High situates iconic teen movies within their times and reveals the intriguing stories, artists, and passions behind their creation. These films aren't merely beloved stories; they reflect teens' growing economic and cultural influence, societal panics, and shifting perceptions of youth in America. Much more than a nostalgia trip, Hollywood High is a lively, provocative, and affectionate cultural history, spanning nearly one hundred years. Handy, an acclaimed journalist and critic who spent two decades at Vanity Fair, examines the defining films of each generation and builds connections between them. From the Andy Hardy classics (19371946) to the iconic Rebel Without a Cause (1955); Beach Party series (19631968); American Graffiti (1973); Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982); the John Hughes touchstones Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (19841986); Boyz N the Hood (1991); Mean Girls (2004); the Twilight saga (20082012); and The Hunger Games series (20122015); this is a captivating deep dive into the world of teen movies that captures their sweeping history and influence. We'll hear from icons James Dean, Annette Funicello, George Lucas, Amy Heckerling, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, John Singleton, Tina Fey, and Kristen Stewart, and discover why the most timeless teen movies resonate across generations.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 384 pp. Englisch.
