An Extraordinary Time - Marc Levinson - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

An Extraordinary Time - Marc Levinson - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

A Washington Post and Strategy+Business Book of the Year. Stagnant wages. Feeble growth figures. An angry, disillusioned public. The early 1970s witnessed the arrival of the problems that define the twenty-first century. In An Extraordinary Time , Marc Levinson investigates how the oil crisis of the 1970s marked a radical turning point in global economics: and paved the way for the political and financial troubles of the present. Tracing the remarkable transformation of the global economy in the years after World War II, Levinson explores how decades of spectacular economic growth ended almost overnight – giving way to an era of uncertainty and political extremism that we are still grappling with. Above all, Levinson shows that we must understand the economic disaster of the 1970s if we want to overcome the problems we face today. By focusing on a pivotal but often overlooked moment in the twentieth century, An Extraordinary Time offers a crucial and timely reappraisal of our age. ‘A smoothly written account of the US and the world economy during the 1970s.’ Wall Street Journal ‘A valuable antidote to all passionately held economic ideologies.’ Times Literary Supplement ‘Provocative . . . Levinson reminds us how mesmerising the post-war boom really was.’ Washington Post ‘Lucid, well-paced, and entwined with vivid sketches of economists, central bankers, and politicians.’ Publishers Weekly

Star Wars: Battlefront: Twilight Company - Alexander Freed - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Star Wars: Battlefront: Twilight Company - Alexander Freed - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The bravest soldiers. The toughest warriors. The ultimate survivors. Among the stars and across the vast expanses of space, the Galactic Civil War rages. On the battlefields of multiple worlds in the Mid Rim, legions of ruthless stormtroopers—bent on crushing resistance to the Empire wherever it arises—are waging close and brutal combat against an armada of freedom fighters. In the streets and alleys of ravaged cities, the front-line forces of the Rebel Alliance are taking the fight to the enemy, pushing deeper into Imperial territory and grappling with the savage flesh-and-blood realities of war on the ground.Leading the charge are the soldiers—men and women, human and nonhuman—of the Sixty-First Mobile Infantry, better known as Twilight Company. Hard-bitten, war-weary, and ferociously loyal to one another, the members of this renegade outfit doggedly survive where others perish, and defiance is their most powerful weapon against the deadliest odds. When orders come down for the rebels to fall back in the face of superior opposition numbers and firepower, Twilight reluctantly complies. Then an unlikely ally radically changes the strategic equation—and gives the Alliance’s hardest-fighting warriors a crucial chance to turn retreat into resurgence.Orders or not, alone and outgunned but unbowed, Twilight Company locks, loads, and prepares to make its boldest maneuver—trading down-and-dirty battle in the trenches for a game-changing strike at the ultimate target: the very heart of the Empire’s military machine.

Surrender - Bono - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Surrender - Bono - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''A brilliant, very funny, very revealing autobiography-through-music. Maybe the best book ever written about being a rockstar'' CAITLIN MORAN_______________________________________________________________ Bono - artist, activist and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2 - has written his autobiography: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he''s lived, the challenges he''s faced and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. ''When I started to write this book I was hoping to draw in detail what I''d previously only sketched in songs. The people, places, and possibilities in my life. Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book. I am still grappling with this most humbling of commands. In the band, in my marriage, in my faith, in my life as an activist. Surrender is the story of one pilgrim''s lack of progress ... With a fair amount of fun along the way.'' - BonoAs one of the music world''s most iconic artists and the cofounder of organizations ONE and (RED), Bono''s career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender , Bono''s autobiography, he picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2''s unlikely journey to become one of the world''s most influential rock bands, to his more than 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Writing with candour, self-reflection, and humour, Bono opens the aperture on his life - and the family, friends and faith that have sustained, challenged and shaped him. Surrender''s subtitle, "40 Songs, One Story," is a nod to the book''s 40 chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings for Surrender which will appear throughout the book.
