Self-Made Man - Norah Vincent - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Norah Vincent became an instant media sensation with the publication of Self-Made Man , her take on just how hard it is to be a man, even in a man''s world. Vincent spent a year and a half disguised as her male alter ego, Ned, exploring what men are like when women aren''t around. As Ned, she joined a bowling team, took a high-octane sales job, went on dates with women (and men), visited strip clubs, and even managed to infiltrate a monastery and a men''s therapy group. At once thought-provoking and pure fun to read, Self-Made Man is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.

Thomas Paine's Rights of Man - Christopher Hitchens - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Thomas Paine is one of the greatest political advocates in history. Declaration of the Rights of Man , first published in 1791, is the key to his reputation. Inspired by his outrage at Edmund Burke''s attack on the uprising of the French people, Paine''s text is a passionate defence of man''s inalienable rights.In Rights of Man Paine argues against monarchy and outlines the elements of a successful republic, including public education, pensions and relief of the poor and unemployed, all financed by income tax. Since its publication, Rights of Man has been celebrated, criticized, maligned and suppressed but here the polemicist and commentator Christopher Hitchens marvels at its forethought and revels in its contentiousness. Above all, Hitchens demonstrates how Thomas Paine''s book forms the philosophical cornerstone of the first democratic republic, whose revolution is the only example that still speaks to us: the United States of America.

He gives personal details on the essential pillars of health - fitness, diet and sleep. What does he eat, what supplements does he take, what kind of mattress does he sleep on? Ageing well takes work and the man who hasn''t stopped for three decades is now sharing the tips and learnings that have helped him keep going, mile after gruelling mile.

The Impossible Man - Patchen Barss - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

A Guardian Best Science Book of the Year The first biography - ''a stunning achievement'' (Kai Bird, American Prometheus ) - of the dazzling and painful life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose When he was six years old, Roger Penrose discovered a sundial in a clearing near his house. Through that machine made of light, shadow, and time, Roger glimpsed a "world behind the world" of transcendently beautiful geometry. It spurred him on a journey to become one of the world''s most influential mathematicians, philosophers, and physicists. Penrose would prove the limitations of general relativity, set a new agenda for theoretical physics, and astound colleagues and admirers with the elegance and beauty of his discoveries. However, as Patchen Barss documents in The Impossible Man , success came at a price: He was attuned to the secrets of the universe, but struggled to connect with loved ones, especially the women who care for or worked with him.Both erudite and poetic, The Impossible Man draws on years of research and interviews, as well as previously unopened archives to present a moving portrait of Penrose the Nobel Prize-winning scientist and Roger the human being. It reveals not just the extraordinary life of Roger Penrose, but asks who gets to be a genius, and who makes the sacrifices that allow one man to be one.

And Man Created God - Selina O'grady - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

And Man Created God is a sweeping exploration of the religions of the world at the time of Jesus: this is popular history at its best. At the time of Jesus''s birth, the world was in ferment. Across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia - societies rife with gods and messiahs, priests and warriors - the old certainties of family, village and tribe were being overturned. Religion was becoming the source of order and stability. And Man Created God takes the reader on a dazzling journey across the empires of the ancient world to reveal how emperors and kings manipulated religion to consolidate their power. In Rome, Augustus was deified by his brilliant spin doctors; in what is now Sudan, the warrior queen Amanirenas exploited her godlike status to inspire her armies to face, and defeat, Rome; while in China, the usurper Wang Mang won and lost the throne over his obsession with Confucianism.In this riveting account of the interplay of faith and power, Selina O''Grady answers the most urgent question of all: how did the tiny Jesus cult triumph over more popular religions - the goddess Isis, the miracle worker Apollonius, even the cult of Augustus - to become the world''s dominant faith?

The Electric Hotel - Dominic Smith - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

From the award-winning author of the acclaimed bestseller The Last Painting of Sara de Vos comes a radiant new novel tracing the intertwined fates of a silent film director and his muse. The Electric Hotel winds through the nascent days of cinema in Paris and Fort Lee, New Jersey - America''s first movie town - and the battlefields of Belgium during World War I. A sweeping work of historical fiction, it shimmers between past and present as it tells the story of the rise and fall of a prodigious film studio and one man''s doomed obsession with all that passes in front of the viewfinder.For nearly half a century, Claude Ballard has been living at the Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel. A French pioneer of silent films, who started out as a concession agent for the Lumière brothers, the inventors of cinema, Claude now spends his days taking photographs of Sunset Boulevard. But when a film-history student comes to interview Claude about The Electric Hotel - the lost masterpiece that bankrupted him and ended the career of his muse, Sabine Montrose - the past comes surging back. In his run-down hotel suite, the ravages of the past are waiting to be excavated: celluloid fragments and reels in desperate need of restoration, and Claude''s memories of the woman who inspired and beguiled him. The Electric Hotel is a portrait of a man entranced by the magic of movie-making, a luminous romance and a whirlwind trip through the heady, endlessly inventive days of early cinema.

On The Wealth of Nations - P. J. O'rourke - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

A New York Times Bestseller As P. J. O''Rourke says, ''It''s as if Smith, having proved that we can all have more money, then went on to prove that money doesn''t buy happiness. And it doesn''t. It rents it.'' Adam Smith''s The Wealth of Nations was first published in 1776 and almost instantly was recognized as fundamental to an understanding of economics. It was also recognized as being really long and as P. J. O''Rourke points out, to understand The Wealth of Nations , the cornerstone of free-market thinking and a book that shapes the world to this day, you also need to peruse Smith''s earlier doorstopper, The Theory of Moral Sentiments . But now you don''t have to read either, because P. J. has done it for you. In this hilarious work P. J. shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious now was once revolutionary, and how the division of labour, freedom of trade and pursuit of self-interest espoused by Smith are not only vital to the welfare of mankind, they''re funny too. He goes on to establish that far from being an avatar of capitalism, Smith was actually a moralist of liberty.
