"Any book on my life would start with my basic philosophy of fighting racial prejudice. I loved jazz, and jazz was my way of doing that," Norman Granz told Tad Hershorn during the final interviews given for this book. Granz, who died in 2001, was iconoclastic, independent, immensely influential, often thoroughly unpleasant-and one of jazz's true giants. Granz played an essential part in bringing jazz to audiences around the world, defying racial and social prejudice as he did so, and demanding that African-American performers be treated equally everywhere they toured. In this definitive biography, Hershorn recounts Granz's story: creator of the legendary jam session concerts known as Jazz at the Philharmonic; founder of the Verve record label; pioneer of live recordings and worldwide jazz concert tours; manager and recording producer for numerous stars, including Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson.

Stan has found himself a starring role as superhero in a popular TV show. He's absolutely terrified. After surviving a holiday to Italy without his parents (which included jellyfish and giant watermelons), Stan reckons he deserves a bit of a break. Or at a least a break in between trying to act in his school play. But when he's offered the chance to take a tour around a TV studio, he thinks it can't do any harm. How wrong he is. Before Stan can say 'Boy of Steel' he's landed himself a part as a main character in one of the most well-known TV shows there is - as a brainy superhero. Convinced he's going to embarrass himself in front of millions of people - and worried about leaving his friends to face a school play on their own - can Stan find a way to use his new-found fame for good? Or will he be the Worst. Superhero. Ever . . .

Frauen fahren ganz anders Rad als Männer, sind Nynke de Jong und Marijn de Vries überzeugt: Wir verstehen nicht jedes Ortsschild als Aufforderung, uns in einem Sprintduell zu messen. Und wir halten schon mal gar nichts davon, nächtelang im Internet nach den ultimativen Laufradsätzen zu fahnden. Ihr Credo: Radfahren muss vor allem Spaß machen. Und das tut es auch (nicht zu knapp). Du bist an der frischen Luft, hast den Wind in den Haaren und die Sonne auf den Wangen. Unterwegs kannst du mit Freundinnen den neuesten Klatsch und Tratsch besprechen. Du siehst was von deiner Umgebung, und du wirst ganz schnell besser. Und vor allem: Verabschiede dich schon mal von deiner Cellulitis und begrüße deine wahnsinnig muskulösen braunen Beine und deinen knackigen Hintern. Also haben die beiden - die eine begeisterte Tourenfahrerin, die andere Radprofi im Team Giant-Shimano - gemeinsam einen höchst unterhaltsamen Ratgeber geschrieben, um anderen Frauen den Einstieg ins Rennradfahren zu erleichtern. In kompakter Form und witzigen Kolumnen beantwortet dieses Buch alle wirklich wichtigen Fragen: Welches Rad ist das richtige für mich? Was brauche ich noch an Zubehör? Was ziehe ich am besten an, ohne wie eine Presswurst auszusehen? Wie feie ich mich angesichts dieses brutal harten Sattels vor schmerzhaften Beschwerden an delikater Stelle? Wie besiege ich die Angst vor Klickpedalen, schmalen Reifen und rasenden Abfahrten? Wie fahre ich sicher in der Gruppe? Wie behebe auf die Schnelle eine Reifenpanne? Wie komme ich meinem Traum näher, echte Berge und richtig lange Touren zu bezwingen? Und schlussendlich auch: Wie schaffe ich es, am Tag X, wenn’s drauf ankommt, einen Kerl abzuhängen?

The International Booker Award winner's breathtaking new novel about neo-Nazis, particle physics, and graffiti vandalism'Propulsive and revelatory' The New York Times'A work of genius' 5-star review, TelegraphGentle giant Florian Herscht is an orphan, adopted by a neo-Nazi who has apprenticed him as a graffiti cleaner. The Boss, a Bach fanatic, is enraged that someone is spraying wolf emblems across the monuments to the famed composer in their east German town. He is determined to punish the culprit and Florian has no choice but to join his gang as they devise a plan to catch him. But Florian has bigger things to worry about: having attended Herr Kö hler's adult education classes in physics, he can see that the world might end at any moment. Written in one cascading sentence with the power of atomic particles colliding, Krasznahorkai's novel is a tour de force, a moving character study, a blistering satire and devastating encapsulation of our helplessness at the moral and environmental dilemmas we face today.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 BRITISH ACADEMY BOOK PRIZE From fire walking to funerals, the hidden science of the rituals that give life meaning Ritual is perhaps the oldest, and certainly the most enigmatic, thread in human culture. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society: from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples. And yet, though rituals exist in every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their logic has remained a mystery until now. Today, a fearless new generation of anthropologists is venturing into this shadowy realm. Armed with cutting-edge technology and drawing on discoveries from a huge range of disciplines, they emerge with a powerful new perspective on our place in the world. Join the pathfinding scientist Dimitris Xygalatas on a tour of human culture at its strangest. In coronations, in silent prayer, in fire-walks and in all the bewildering variety of humanity's ritual life, Xygalatas reveals the deep and subtle mechanisms that bind us together.

Am 23. Januar 2016 kollidierten sechs Radrennfahrer des Teams Giant-Alpecin während eines Trainingslagers an der Costa Blanca frontal mit einem Auto, das auf der falschen Fahrbahnseite unterwegs war. Ein siebter konnte dem SUV der englischen Touristin gerade so eben ausweichen. Es war ein Wunder, dass es keine Todesopfer gab. Der Journalist Nick Klaessens saß an jenem Tag zufällig im nachfolgenden Teamwagen und leistete einem der Radprofis lebensrettende Erste Hilfe. Zehn Jahre später begibt sich Klaessens auf die Reise, um alle Beteiligten noch einmal zu treffen: den Mannschaftsarzt, die Teamleiter und nicht zuletzt die sieben Radrennfahrer, darunter große Namen wie der einstige Tour-de-France-Bergkönig Warren Barguil, Giro-Etappensieger Chad Haga und die beiden deutschen Top-Sprinter John Degenkolb und Max Walscheid. Was wissen sie noch von diesem Tag? Welchen Einfluss hatte er auf ihre Karriere? Hat er ihre Sicht auf das Leben verändert? »FRONTAL« ist eine packende, zutiefst persönliche Geschichte, die sich mit den bleibenden Auswirkungen eines traumatischen Erlebnisses auseinandersetzt. Und mit Themen wie Resilienz, Kameradschaft und der ungebrochenen Liebe zum Radsport. Wie können wir mit dem leben, was wir niemals ganz vergessen können? • Einmalige Augenzeugenperspektive – der Autor Nick Klaessens war direkt vor Ort und ist Teil der Geschichte. • Universelle Themen, die weit über den Sport hinausreichen – Resilienz, Motivation, Menschlichkeit im Angesicht eines Traumas. • Ungemein offenherzige Gespräche mit bekannten Radrennfahrern, die zu den reflektiertesten Stimmen im Profi-Peloton zählen – darunter die beiden deutschen Top-Sprinter John Degenkolb und Max Walscheid.
