Die vier apokalyptischen Reiter - so bezeichnet Marketing-Guru Galloway Amazon, Apple, Facebook und Google. Diese Tech-Giganten haben nicht nur neue Geschäftsmodelle entwickelt. Sie haben die Regeln des Wirtschaftslebens und die Voraussetzungen für Erfolg neu definiert. In dem respektlosen Stil, der Galloway zu einem der gefeiertsten Wirtschaftsprofessoren der Welt gemacht hat, zerlegt er die Strategien der Vier. Er führt vor, wie sie unsere grundlegenden emotionalen Bedürfnisse mit einer Schnelligkeit und in einem Ausmaß manipulieren, an die andere nicht herankommen. Und er zeigt, wie man die Lehren aus ihrem Aufstieg auf sein eigenes Unternehmen oder seinen eigenen Job anwenden kann. Ob man mit ihnen konkurrieren will, mit ihnen Geschäfte machen oder einfach in der Welt leben will, die von ihnen beherrscht wird - man muss die Vier verstehen.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . . At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends. But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought shed left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming. Sexy and intense, Jax is in Calla’s business from they moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.

Dietro le quinte del mondo della moda non è tutto glamour quello che luccica
Dopo essere stata lasciata dal fidanzato storico, Angela ha il cuore spezzato e il morale a terra. Essere assunta da una prestigiosa agenzia di moda londinese, quindi, sembra proprio l'occasione ideale per ricominciare da capo. In realtà Angela non sa assolutamente nulla di moda, e con la sua taglia 42 viene considerata scandalosamente sovrappeso, ma ha la testa piena di sogni e di entusiasmo. Ben presto si renderà conto di essere atterrata su un altro pianeta, tanto magico e scintillante quanto folle: un mondo dove al colloquio di lavoro il fattore determinante è indossare le scarpe dello stilista giusto, non il curriculum; dove le torte di compleanno si annusano (e poi si buttano via), non si mangiano; dove i cagnolini viziati delle star viaggiano in prima classe; dove a trent'anni il botox è già un must; dove a dettare legge sono l'hair stylist e il make-up artist. E soprattutto dove, tra una vendita di campionario e un party esclusivo, rischi seriamente di ritrovarti con il conto in rosso e di allontanare da te le persone che ami davvero. Oltre a svelare i retroscena più assurdi, divertenti e piccanti dell'industria del glamour, I love fashion racconta la favola moderna di una ragazza come tante alla ricerca della felicità, del vero amore e dell'autentica se stessa.

Marzo 1938. Le truppe naziste marciano sull'Austria e la famiglia di Eric, ebrea polacca residente a Vienna, è costretta a fuggire in Italia. Tuttavia, il regime di Mussolini non offre sicurezza: con le leggi razziali e l'inizio della guerra, Eric, otto anni, e sua madre Lotte vengono mandati al confino a Ospedaletto d'Alpinolo, un luogo dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. Lontano dalla guerra, il paesino vive secondo i ritmi della natura, e per il piccolo Eric, abituato alla vita di città, è una scoperta affascinante. Senza scuola né obblighi, la vita all'aria aperta sembra una favola avventurosa. Mentre la madre cerca di preservare la magia dell'infanzia, i due fuggiaschi conquistano l'affetto della gente del posto e incontrano un nuovo "marito e padre", generoso e amorevole. Tuttavia, anche i sogni più belli non durano per sempre. La violenza del conflitto raggiunge Ospedaletto, costringendo Eric a crescere in fretta, a sperimentare l'odio e a sentire l'odore della morte. Alla fine della guerra, Eric non sarà più lo stesso, ma il "Paese del sole", che lo ha salvato da un destino tragico, rimarrà per sempre nel suo cuore. Una storia vera, raccontata con intensità e ironia dal protagonista, oggi ottantunenne.

Дали кралят на Бутан е визионер, щом е въвел Брутното Национално Щастие като национален приоритет? Защо жителите на Ашвил, Северна Каролина, са толкова доволни от живота? Къде живеят най-щастливите хора на света? Преведеният ня 19 езика бестселър на Ню Йорк Таймс "География на блаженството" е увлекателен разказ, изтъкан от психология, геополитика, наука, пътешествия и хумор, един провокативен и забавен анализ на това какво е щастието, какво не е и къде можем да го открием.
La historia no oficial del libre mercado. Naomi Klein demuestra que el capitalismo emplea constantemente la violencia, el terrorismo contra el individuo y la sociedad. Lejos de ser el camino hacia la libertad, se aprovecha de las crisis para introducir impopulares medidas de choque económico, a menudo acompañadas de otras formas de "shock": el golpe de la porra de los policías, las torturas con "electroshocks" o la picana en las celdas de las cárceles. De Chile a Rusia, de Canadá a Sudáfrica, los ejemplos y sus escalofriantes consecuencias, abundan. En este relato apasionante, narrado con pulso firme, Klein repasa la historia mundial reciente (de la dictadura de Pinochet a la reconstrucción de Beirut; del Katrina al "tsunami"; del 11-S al 11-M), para dar la palabra a las diezmadas poblaciones civiles sometidas a la voracidad despiadada de los nuevos dueños del mundo, el conglomerado industrial, comercial y gubernamental para quien los desastres, las guerras y la inseguridad del ciudadano son el siniestro combustible de la economía del "shock".
