How can you lead calmly under pressure? The issues are the same whether you're managing a Premier League football team or a FTSE 100 company. Here, for the first time, some 30 of the biggest names in football management reveal just what it takes. With their every act, remark, and success or failure under constant scrutiny from the media and the fans, these managers need to be the most adroit of leaders. In The Manager they explain their methods, offer lessons they've learned along the way, and describe the decisions they make and the leadership they provide. Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue for managers in any walk of life and, in their own words, shows how the experts deal with the challenges they face in an abnormally high-pressure environment. Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for football fans, The Manager is an honest, accessible and unprecedented look at the day-to-day work of these high-profile characters and the world of top-level football management.

A Quality Improvement (QI) project would often aim in translate medical evidence (e.g. hand hygiene saves lives) into clinical practice (e.g. actually washing your hands before you see the patient, suffice it to say that not all hospitals are able to report 100% compliance with hand-hygiene). All doctoral residents in the United States must now satisfy a new requirement from the American College of Graduate Medical Education that they participate in a QI initiative. However, few departments are equipped to help their residents develop and implement a QI initiative. Resident's Handbook is a short, not fussy, and practical introduction to developing a QI initiative. Meant not only for residents seeking to jump-start a QI initiative but also for attending physicians looking to improve their clinical practice, residency program directors and even medical students already eyeing what residency training holds for them, the book introduces and explains the basic tools needed to conduct a QI project. It provides numerous real-life examples of QI projects by the residents, fellows and attendings who designed them, who discuss their successes and failures as well as the specific tools they used. Several chapters provide a more senior perspective on resident involvement in QI projects and feature contributions from several QI leaders, a hospital administration VP and a residency program director. Though originally designed with physicians in mind, the book will also be helpful for physician assistants, nurses, physical, occupational and speech language pathology therapists, as well as students in these disciplines. Since no QI intervention is likely to be successful if attempted in isolation more non-physician clinicians are joining the ranks of quality and safety leadership. Therefore several non-physician clinician led initiatives included in the manuscript constitute an integral part of this book.The book serves as a short introduction to the field of medical quality improvement and safety emphasizing the practical pointers of how to actually implement a project from its inception to publication. To our knowledge this is the first concise do-it-yourself publication of its kind. Some of the topics covered include: how to perform an efficient literature search, how to get published, how to scope a project, how to generate improvement ideas, effective communication, team, project management and basic quality improvement tools like PDCA, DMAIC, Lean, Six Sigma, human factors, medical informatics etc.. Although no substitute for the services of a trained clinical statistician, chapters on statistics and critical assessment of the medical literature familiarizes residents with basic statistical methodologies, clinical trials and evidence based medicine (EBM). Since no QI project is complete without providing evidence for post-intervention improvement we provide a short introduction to the free statistical language R, which helps residents independently run basic statistical calculations. Because much of QI involves assessment of subjective human experiences, there is also a chapter on how to write surveys. Resident's Handbook of Medical Quality and Safety is not an exhaustive QI textbook but rather a hands-on pocket guide to supplement formal training by other means.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783319241883,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":119,"low_price_merchant_id":70255345,"ID":4845272,"merchants":["euniverse","weltbild"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"residents-handbook-of-medical-quality","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/residents-handbook-of-medical-quality\/","low_price_merchant_name":"eUniverse"}

Amos Decker's life changed forever--twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to play in the NFL. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer's identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can. But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Memory Man will stay with you long after the turn of the final page.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781478961215,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":23.39999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4129490,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"memory-man-8-audio-cds","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/memory-man-8-audio-cds\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

Was passiert, wenn sich Unternehmen Menschheitsaufgaben zum Ziel setzen? Wie sieht eine Gesellschaft aus, in der das Internet zur Meta-Struktur einer neuartigen, digitalen \u00d6konomie wird? Internet-Monopole sind allgegenw\u00e4rtig, deren Ziel nicht mehr die fabrikm\u00e4ssige Herstellung von Waren und deren Verkauf ist, sondern die Organisation des Zugangs zu Wissen und Information selbst. Ob es darum geht, die ganze Erde zu kartieren oder alle Freundschaften der Welt zu organisieren ? im digitalen Kapitalismus werden Algorithmen zur wichtigsten Maschine, Daten zum essenziellen Rohstoff und Informationen zur Ware Nummer eins. Der digitale Kapitalismus beutet immer weniger lebendige Arbeit direkt aus. Stattdessen halten wir, die User, ihn mit unserer Aktivit\u00e4t auf den digitalen Plattformen am Leben: User Generated Capitalism. Ein Heer von Mikro-Entrepreneuren, befreit von Festanstellungsvertr\u00e4gen und gesetzlichen Regelungen, versucht in den Pr\u00e4rien des digitalen Wilden Westens sein Gl\u00fcck: Jeder kann f\u00fcr f\u00fcnfzehn Minuten ein Unternehmer sein!

Kritik, die auf Datensammelwut oder Zersplitterung von Arbeitsverh\u00e4ltnissen fokussiert ist, greift zu kurz. Oft wird der digitale Kapitalismus vom Standpunkt des Vor-Digitalen aus kritisiert und entweder verleugnet oder verharmlost: der Informations-Kapitalismus scheitere an sich selbst. Der Kapitalismus ist aber nicht in der Krise, er wird auch nicht zum Post-Kapitalismus, im Gegenteil: er macht das Kyoto-Protokoll zu seiner Agenda und tritt an, eine postfossile kapitalistische \u00c4ra zu begr\u00fcnden. Und mit der Entwicklung von selbstfahrenden Autos etwa fordert der digitale Kapitalismus den Fordismus auf dessen ureigenem Terrain heraus, wenn er sein iconic product ? das Automobil ? umdefiniert zu Mobilit\u00e4t als IT-Service.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783960540588,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":31.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":5020306,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"das-kapital-sind-wir","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/das-kapital-sind-wir\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

For readers of The Girl on the Train and The Woman Upstairs comes a striking debut novel of marriage, fidelity, sex, and morality, featuring a fascinating heroine who struggles to live a life with meaning.Anna Benz, an American in her late thirties, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno-a banker-and their three young children in a postcard-perfect suburb of Z\u00fcrich. Though she leads a comfortable, well-appointed life, Anna is falling apart inside. Adrift and increasingly unable to connect with the emotionally unavailable Bruno or even with her own thoughts and feelings, Anna tries to rouse herself with new experiences: German language classes, Jungian analysis, and a series of sexual affairs she enters with an ease that surprises even her. But Anna can't easily extract herself from these affairs. When she wants to end them, she finds it's difficult. Tensions escalate, and her lies start to spin out of control. Having crossed a moral threshold, Anna will discover where a woman goes when there is no going back. Intimate, intense, and written with the precision of a Swiss Army knife, Jill Alexander Essbaum's debut novel is an unforgettable story of marriage, fidelity, sex, morality, and most especially self. Navigating the lines between lust and love, guilt and shame, excuses and reasons, Anna Benz is an electrifying heroine whose passions and choices readers will debate with recognition and fury. Her story reveals, with honesty and great beauty, how we create ourselves and how we lose ourselves and the sometimes disastrous choices we make to find ourselves. Praise for Hausfrau\"Elegant . . .

THE BOOK BEHIND THE FIFTH SEASON OF THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES NAMED ONE OF PASTE'S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE Dubbed \"the American Tolkien\" by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series-as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance-beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys's claim to Westeros forever. Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone-a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice. From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all. Praise for A Dance with Dragons \"Filled with vividly rendered set pieces, unexpected turnings, assorted cliffhangers and moments of appalling cruelty, A Dance with Dragons is epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined.\"-The Washington Post \"Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.\"-The New York Times \"One of the best series in the history of fantasy.\"-Los Angeles Times","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780739375976,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":89.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4890393,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"a-dance-with-dragons-38-audio-cds","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/a-dance-with-dragons-38-audio-cds\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

You is, at once, a modern-day Horatio Alger, representing the desires and frustrations of millions in rising Asia, a bildungsroman hero, by turns knavish and recognizably human, who sallies forth from the provinces to find his destiny, and a nameless but intimately known soul, whose bittersweet romance with the pretty girl possesses a remarkable emotional power. With How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia Mr. Hamid reaffirms his place as one of his generation s most inventive and gifted writers. Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Thanks to Hamid's meticulous use of detail and his sympathy for a man on the make in a society of endemic poverty we engage deeply with a serious character whose essence remains his own yet who stands as a figure representative of his time and place, an effect only the best novelists can create This tale of an unscrupulous striver may bring to mind a globalized version of The Great Gatsby. Given the unabashed gimmickry of Hamid's how-to design, it's a pleasant surprise to find that his book is nearly that good. Alan Cheuse, NPR \"A love story and bildungsroman disguised as a self-help book, and the result has all the inventiveness, exuberance and pathos that the writer's fans have come to expect \u00a0Marvelous and moving.\" TIME MagazineExtraordinarily clever Hamid has taken the most American form of literature the self-help book and transformed it to tell a surprisingly moving story. Ron Charles, The Washington Post The marriage of two curiously compatible genres self-help and the old-fashioned bildungroman is just one of the pleasures of Mohsin Hamid s shrewd and slippery new novel, a rags-to-rishes story that works on a head-splitting number of levels. It s a love story and a study of seismic social change. It parodies a get-rich-quick book and gestures to a new direction for the novel, all in prose so pure and purposeful it pases straight through into the bloodstream. It intoxicates. Parul Sehgal, The New York Times Book ReviewWonderfully astringent Hamid is a sly witness to a traditional culture s dizzying trajectory supermodels stalk city billboards, a drone hovers ominously in the sky but his satiric impulse gives way to compassion for the intimacies that keep us tethered in a rapidly changing world. Vogue This is one of those original works that are also resonant as a record of human experience and geo-political shift, and a strong argument for Hamid as one of the most important writers working today. An enjoyable read no matter who you are. The Daily Beast \"Relentlessly brilliant Hamid is a master stylist, and his third novel is, I think, his best thus far There is something so rich and so deeply authentic in [the protagonist s] romance that its rendering alone hooks the reader the novel ends with one of the most stunning final sentences I ve read in contemporary fiction, a sentence that no review will ever quote, but an indelible sentence, which will live in your heart, mind, and soul long after you read it.\" The Los Angeles Review of Books\"Dazzling an addictive, muscular piece of storytelling [How To Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia] shows a writer at the height of his powers, with a hell of a story to tell a tremendous novel: tender, sharp and formally daring, a portal into a fast-moving, vividly realised world.\" The Guardian \"Mohsin Hamid s latest novel boasts a startlingly distinctive voice as commanding and unadorned as its title.\" Pico Iyer, The New York Times Book Review \"Hamid exercises perfect control as he spins the life story of one man's struggle with turbulent times and economics in his unnamed Asian city. It's an impressive feat that he reveals this life, infancy to death, in a little more than 200 pages. That he achieves this with humor and pathos, and creates a last line that evokes the sweep of Molly Bloom's soliloquy in Ulysses well, it knocked the skepticism right out of me Vivid, pungent and sweet, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is the kind of well-told literary novel that restores faith in the genre. More of this, please.\"\u00a0 Cleveland Plain Dealer \"Hamid is as much an inventive stylist as he is a gifted storyteller As a result, his novels are compulsively readable, and \"Rising Asia\" is no exception Tremendously profound and entertaining.\" Alex Gilvarry, Boston Globe Bracingly inventive it might be the best book you read in 2013. V Magazine \"Astounding An ambitious, moving story about love and loneliness [that] constantly surprises by reinventing itself just as characters reinvent themselves At the heart of the book is [the] consideration of what it means to succeed, to rise or to\u00a0help oneself. How does one live and die? The questions simmer below the surface of this tremendous, wise and surprisingly moral book.\" The San Francisco ChronicleAn utter delight How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia\u00a0is one of the most tender narratives you will ever read Amazing. Counterpunch Hamid is one of the best writers working today How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is filled with flashes of brilliance, deeply moving passages, and beautifully clear prose. The Millions Mohsin Hamid s hotly anticipated new book tells the story of young love between capitalism and the latest target of its cupid s arrow: Asia Political, romantic, exciting, and a page-turner throughout. Harper s Bazaar \"Brilliant In its cleverness, its slightly cruel satire and its complex understanding of both Western and Eastern paradigms, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is pure Hamid His storytelling style is both timeless and contemporary, a postmodern Scheherazade \u00a0This novel is smart about many things, including medicine and the processes of death, but is smartest of all about literature itself. Marion Winik,\u00a0Newsday \"Isn t this the definition of great fiction, that even when it begins with a character (tubercular, hiding on the dirt floor under his mother s cot) who s nothing like you, by the end you are convinced that it really is about you? That s a kind of miracle, of the sort that self-help books can only dream of achieving.\" Salon \"The protagonist, who Hamid also calls 'you,' is, despite the absence of a name or identified origin, a wonderfully particularized person when, in the last stages of life, 'you' gains a measure of serenity and wisdom, you have tears in your eyes and know that Hamid s novel has done that which few novels are capable of: It has deepened feeling and provoked questions about the meaning of your own world gripping storytelling. Washington Independent Review of BooksThe kind of game Leo Tolstoy might have written, clear-eyed in its dissection of human folly, ambition and love. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Although Hamid's fictional works vary in style and substance, a distinctive sensibility pervades all three: simultaneously warm and ironic, elegant and profane, urbane but equipped with a strong B.S. detector. The Los Angeles Times \"In just 12 crisp chapters, you go from a diseased rural nobody to the model of self-made success. It is quite a journey [A] considerable literary talent [who] deploy[s] the second-person narrative with astonishing skill Hamid depicts a land where getting rich is not so much a luxury as a survival tactic.\" The EconomistMy recommendation for book groups this month is Mohsin Hamid's wry third novel, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and it might just satisfy both reluctant and bold literary explorers. It is at once accessible and exotic, and most definitely filthy rich in fresh material for literary discussion [that] offers a surprisingly heartfelt conclusion. Christian Science Monitor \"An astonishing and riveting tale of a man's journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon.\" The NationFiction fans should be grateful Mohsin Hamid left his New York corporate cubicle to pursue his grand ambitions of becoming a novelist. The AtlanticEffervescent a universal story, wrought in tightly minimal, evocative prose Mr. Hamid has delivered a payload more nourishing than any self-help book. \u00ad The New York Observer \"A powerful reverie on life in a time of soul-shaking change.\" Businessweek \"Hamid s choice to write a bildungsroman wrapped inside a self-help manual is an inspired one Hamid has left us with no doubts about how state and market, law and crime, nation and corporation, and money and violence go together in rising Asia as in the rest of the world.\" Bookforum Mohsin Hamid is one of the most talented and formally audacious writers of his generation, and his electrifying new novel is a vital and affecting portrait of a teeming and significant, but largely unrecorded culture. It is a bold formal experiment contained within an elegant novella. It is moving and charming and funny. When you reach the end, you want to go straight back to the beginning. And yes that does mean you. The Telegraph Mohsin Hamid s third novel is many things a love story, an interrogation of the purpose of literary fiction, a portrait of an Asian city In its compassionate glimpse into another s life, Hamid s novel suggests that the routes to success prescribed by self-help books are less hopeful and compelling than the moments that a novel so treasures, the moments in which life is lived. The Sunday Telegraph An ultra-intelligent and knowing account of life in the developing world, as well as an increasingly moving love-story Simply brilliant. The Daily MailDaringly original page-turning. The Independent Cast as a self-help book, about one man's rise from poverty to wealth Hamid s beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed novel demonstrates that, in the right hands, narratorial tricks can be a serious matter, affording slants on the big realities and myths of our time unavailable to meat-and-potato realism. Adam Lively, The Sunday TimesHow to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia turns out to be as much moral fable as it is satire. Fortunately, Hamid makes each mode as fresh as the other. New Statesman The many selves of You, our hero, form a portrait gallery of a disconnected man in a discontinuous world. Self-help books that aren t a novel try to make sense of all this. And fail. Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times\"At once a quietly moving story of an individual man and a sweeping epic chronicling the economic, social and cultural development of an entire region of the world.\" Vox Magazine \"Hamid s story is at once fable-like and existential the novel is a parable about a new kid of loneliness, a homelessness quite different from the one characteristic of the protagonist s impoverished and uncertain beginnings.\" The Financial Times \"How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is dead short and narrated in a weird way that rarely gets done in novels It s a winning and surprisingly readable bash at some pretty wild experimentation. Hamid s portrait of rising Asia makes bold use of a newfangled way of compressing a whole life into 200 zipalong hit book pages.\" Dazed and Confused \"Ambition rules in this playful third novel... subtle and rich.\" Publishers WeeklyThis brilliantly structured, deeply felt book is written with the confidence and bravura of a man born to write. Hamid is at the peak of his considerable powers here, and delivers a tightly paced, preternaturally wise book about a thoroughly likable, thoroughly troubled striver in the messiest, most chaotic ring of the global economy. Completely unforgettable. Dave Eggers, author of A Hologram for the King \"Mohsin Hamid is one of the best writers in the world, period. Only a master could have written this propulsive tale of a striver living on the knife's edge, a noir Horatio Alger story for our frenetic, violent times. The road to filthy riches is nasty, brutish, and long, yet Hamid's talent is such that we see the humanity in all this striving indeed, on finishing this extraordinary book, one wonders if the striving might be the sincerest expression of our flawed, fragile humanity.\" Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk A dazzling stylistic tour de force, a love story disguised as a self-help guide, freighted with sly social satire. As timely and timeless a novel as I ve read in years. Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City and How It EndedA marvelous book.

New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is certain of three truths: People don't just vanish into thin air. Never anger old people. And don't do what Tiki tells you to do. After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie's bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track him down. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff's lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it's hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie's Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Stephanie is forced into working side by side with Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case. The real problem is, no Cubbin also means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for money-or maybe just desperate-Stephanie accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger from a deadly Special Forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then again-a little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaid's dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone . . . or did they? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a paycheck, she'll have to remember: No guts, no glory.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9780804191845,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":31.39999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5346320,"merchants":["dodax","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"notorious-nineteen-5-audio-cds","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/notorious-nineteen-5-audio-cds\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Under mounting pressure from the police and the media-as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents-the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior.

She puts us inside a complicated, teeming mind, and she doesn t dabble in forced epiphanies...\u00a0Sometimes first novels like Pond are one-offs. They deliver a voice the author can t tap again. Ms. Bennett s sensibility here feels like the tip of a deep iceberg, and I ll be in line to read whatever she publishes next. Her witty misanthropy is here to ward off mental scurvy.\"\u00a0 The New York Times\"Imagine a short-story collection written by Emily Dickinson, and you ll get the weird genius of this book. The Boston Globe \u00a0 A sharp, funny, and eccentric debut one of those books so odd and vivid they make your own life feel strangely remote. Somehow, Bennett has written a fantasy novel for grownups that is a kind of extended case for living an existence that threatens to slip out of tune...Pond makes the case for Bennett as an innovative writer of real talent. [It]reminds us that small things have great depths. \u00a0 The New York Times Book Review A work of fiction that will make you feel pleasantly insane Like\u00a0Lydia Davis, Bennett takes a state of mind closely associated with madness and places it in settings that are utterly domestic, mundane. The result is fervid and fearful...It is also funny unnerving sensitive to the point of being porous lucid, practical, and excruciatingly cognizant of what is normal. \u00a0 The New Yorker Dazzling [an] exquisitely written and daring debut work of fiction Pond s lovely strangeness lies in just how intimate we feel with our heroine despite knowing so little about her. By eschewing exposition, Bennett s novel demonstrates the elucidating power of simply recording a consciousness at work, a state of being a mind in motion. O, the Oprah Magazine The sort of avant-garde opus destined to put its author on the map alongside modern-day prose stylists of the highest order...The tilt of Bennett s pen (or the stroke of her key) lends gravity to anything it touches This collection is for wiseasses and weirdos, a cathedral of strange sentences... built upon the singular experience of being a human being. It contains only sharp observations and a constant juggling between beauty and decay, moments stretched and skewed like leaded glass Pond\u00a0sparkles with witty one-liners [a] gorgeous book. \u00a0 Los Angeles Review of Books\u00a0\"[T]his Woolfian novella will challenge all your ideas of narrative. Dreamlike fragments of a life drift in and out of frame, with startling prose that will make your usual perspective feel like sleepwalking.\"\u00a0 Elle Bennett s prose ardent, addictively obsessive-compulsive, a little feral is from another galaxy, or maybe another century. Her delight in nature and gardening can be kookily romantic and yet one could also imagine her taking an improbably cheerful seat among the modernists A man alone is a visionary, a woman alone is a witch or worse, Bridget Jones. But Bennett spins something entirely different from her separateness, a kind of philosophy of being in the world as a writer both refreshing and hard-won.\" Vogue Innovative, beguiling meditative a fresh new voice from seemingly out of nowhere Reading Bennett s book of loosely linked stories is a lovely retreat from the cacophony of contemporary life wryly intelligent quirky [and] brightly original. Los Angeles Times [A] smart, funny, elliptical debut Reminiscent of Joyce and Beckett in its unmistakably Irish blend of earthy wit and existential unease. Yet Bennett does much more than emulate literary forebears. Pond expressed her unique sensibility in deceptively simply, delightfully unsettled prose. We ll be hearing more from this formidably gifted young writer. The Boston Globe\"[Pond] contains no story, no action and...one describable character and is defined as much by these absences as by the material that remains. What s left on the page are the gleanings of a mind in motion, to borrow Ms. Bennett s phrase reflections on everyday objects, philosophical digressions, daydreams and stirred-up memories and associations... The book is reminiscent of a country diary, with entries that dwell on the narrator s breakfast routine or her vegetable garden...Hers is a mind in attentive communion with itself, building baroque and beautiful cloud castles of thought to distract from the storms of the real.\" Wall Street Journal An elegant and intoxicating debut novel rich with strange, sensuous and exhilarating moods and textures we are captivated by the narrator s sharply illuminated interior reality and her lyrical depictions of the nature about her. Boldly defying convention, Pond is an exceptional debut with beautiful hidden depths. \u00a0 Minneapolis Star-Tribune A fascinating and utterly immersive reading experience that speaks volumes about the author s creative process and delivers insights in droves...compulsively readable and wacky [Bennett has] diffused our often confusing and chaotic world into something more manageable, yet all the while making itty-bitty molehills into mountains. \u00a0 San Francisco Chronicle [A] cool, curious dive into a world of minutiae intense, and often wickedly funny. Christian Science Monitor Immediately, the prose in Claire-Louise Bennett s Pond feels new but deeply familiar like the voice in your head but dialed just to the left. You are dropped into the book without your wits about you, and you may not totally recover them. It s exhilarating ...[Her] solitude offers the mental freedom to digress and to proclaim and to spend pages on beautifully ludicrous digressions. Within these digressions are details, and idiosyncratic, almost-confessional meditations on those details that would put Knausgaard to shame. This is a woman at her most comfortable, her most confident I think someone should award [Bennett] a great prize so that she can write us all something new. \u00a0 NYMag's The Cut Muddiness is not typically a positive description for a narrative, but this mud is sparkling, full of mica and minerals that glitter with color when the sun s rays hit. It s through this glistening mud that Bennett s readers get to mudlark, mucking about in prose that is alternatively deliberate and crisp, surrealistic and unknowable, to find real gems of observation and language deeply satisfying and refreshing Bennett stomps all over writing-dude-in-nature territory without having to set a foot off her main character s property line. \u00a0 New Republic\"Sharp and witty wonderfully discursive Pond is maybe best understood as an embrace of all that wriggles in the dirt, and an experiment in uncovering that engrossing underworld beneath our more refined and constructed selves through the act of writing. Bennett writes through the dramatic into something deeper, and the result is a reverie of fervid primary visions, the dredging of a riverine mind. The Millions\"A phenomenal combination of hilarity and stillness with a weird undercurrent of menace that never quite rises to the surface but always leaves you slightly uneasy even as you are smiling about something brilliant the writer has managed to capture in the short space of a few pages. The Awl Impressive indeed. Vol 1 Brooklyn Reminiscent of Norwegian writer Karl Knausg\u00e5rd as much as it is Thoreau and Zadie Smith. \u00a0 Refinery29\"Compelling [and] innovative Bennett s unique portrait of a persona emerges with an intensity and vision not often seen, or felt, in a debut. Poets & Writers Pond, in its quirky structure and language, calls to mind the Irish fathers of literary modernism Joyce and Beckett. But then it also echoes Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Carroll's Alice, Thoreau's Walden and, more contemporarily, Strout's Olive Kitteridge, as well as anything by Nicholson Baker Bennett's narrator is a funny, self-deprecating, observant, opinionated, earthy woman whose mind grasps every detailed string of her rural life and gives it a pull to reveal her curiosity and contented solitude What a treasure, this woman! Shelf Awareness Beautiful and brief. Brooklyn Magazine Ireland is never mentioned outright in Claire-Louise Bennett's debut, but it is undeniably there even if just in the extraordinary language constructing every sentence With a rich Irish literary tradition marked by behemoths like W.B. Yeats and James Joyce, there are many books one can pick up to prepare for a trip to Ireland. However, Bennett represents the modern writer who is left to carry on such a mantel, she will not disappoint. The Week, What to Read Based on Where You re Traveling this Summer \u00a0 [Pond is] packed with vivid imagery of a quiet life, and deep reflections from an unquiet mind. It s excellent, it s ravishing, it ll win a ton of awards, it ll show up on everyone s Best of 2016 lists bravely original. \u00a0--Fiction Advocate A formally inventive work that slips past traditional storytelling to focus on impression as it chronicles the interior life of a single, unnamed woman dwelling on Ireland s coast. -Library Journal\"Mysteriously but wryly told...it is unlike anything else, its 20 stories portray the things we take for granted as being important, vital and worthy of us paying much closer attention.\"\u00a0 National Post\"Innovative and elegant...In her celebration of minutiae, Bennett recreates the experience of a believable, uniquely captivating persona. \u00a0Pond deserves to be discovered and dived into, so thoroughly does Bennett submerge readers into her meticulously dazzling world. Booklist (starred)\"Captivating...Bennett has achieved something strange, unique, and undeniably wonderful.\"\u00a0 Publisher's Weekly (starred)\"What Bennett aims at is nothing short of a re-enchantment of the world. ... This is a truly stunning debut, beautifully written and profoundly witty.\" The Guardian \u00a0 A beautiful, lasting book that privileges modes of human experience that are so often undervalued, if they are acknowledged\u00a0at all: neither formative encounters nor outward achievement, but rather the workings of a roving, inquisitive mind,\u00a0open and receptive to all. Literary Review (London) \u00a0 [An] artful collection of shut-in soliloquies striking. -The Telegraph, What to Read in 2015 \u00a0 Elegantly inventive. Financial Times A wild, rewardingly ecstatic ride. The Globe and Mail Elegant and funny and seems to find a whole new space in the form. Eimear McBride, TLS, Books of the Year A touch of William Gaddis. \u00a0 A touch of Lydia Davis.\u00a0 A touch of Samuel Beckett.\u00a0 A touch of Edna O'Brien.\u00a0 And yet Claire-Louise Bennett's POND feels entirely unique. \u00a0 Quiet and luxurious all at once, this will be one of the most sensational debuts of the year. Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin\u00a0\"Claire-Louise Bennett sets the conventions of literary fiction ablaze in this ferociously intelligent and funny debut. Don't be fooled by Pond's small size. It contains multitudes.\" Jenny Offill, author of Department of Speculation\"Pond is brilliant \u00a0sharp and absorbing, compassionate and funny \u00a0and Claire-Louise Bennett is a deeply original writer with talent to spare. I can't stop thinking about this book.\" Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans\"As brilliant a debut and as distinct a voice as we've heard in years--this is a real writer with the real goods.\"--Kevin Barry, author of Beatlebone and City of Bohane I d heard more good whispers about Pond than almost any other debut this year. . . . These stories are intelligent and funny, innovative and provocative, and it s impossible to read them without thinking that here is a writer who has only just begun to show what she can do. Eimear McBride, author of A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing Extraordinary . . . profoundly original though not eccentric, sharp and tender, funny and deeply engaging. A very new sort of writing . . . an acute, satisfying, delicate, honest meditation on both the joys and frustrations of a life fully lived in solitude. Take it slowly, because it is worth it, and be impressed and joyful. Sara Maitland, author of A Book of Silence Wielding a wry but implacable logic, Claire-Louise Bennett dives under the surface of ordinary experiences and things to reveal their supreme and giddy illogic. Like . . . Lydia Davis . . . she writes an impeccable affectless prose that almost magically arrives at something extraordinary. Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick Claire-Louise Bennett is a major writer to be discovered and treasured.

One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780739366417,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":33.39999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4088663,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-audacity-of-hope-5-audio-cds","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-audacity-of-hope-5-audio-cds\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}
