Der neue Nordseekrimi vom Beststellerautor Andreas Adlon nur kurze Zeit zum Einführungspreis

Er tötet. Emotionslos. Rücksichtslos. Er folgt seiner Liste, der Todesliste.

Auf dem Balkon eines Luxushotels sitzt ein Mann an ein Geländer gelehnt. Er könnte die Aussicht auf den Binnenhafen genießen, hätte er nicht eine Schusswunde in der Stirn. Damit ist er bereits das zweite Opfer einer langen Liste. Schnell werden Paul Schweigert und Lisbeth Eicken zu den Mordfällen in Wilhelmshaven hinzugezogen, da auch zwei Oldenburger auf der Todesliste stehen. Niemand weiß, wann der Täter erneut zuschlagen und wer das nächste Opfer auf der Liste sein wird. Nur eines ist gewiss Er wird es wieder tun.

Dieser Krimi ist in sich abgeschlossen und kann selbstständig gelesen werden. Es erhöht jedoch das Lesevergügen, wenn man die anderen Nordsee-Krimis schon kennt
Band 1 Tod im Netz
Band 2 Wahre Lügen
Band 3 Außer Kontrolle

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team has won three World Cups and four Olympic gold medals, set record TV ratings, drawn massive crowds, earned huge revenues for FIFA and U.S. Soccer, and helped to redefine the place of women in sports. But despite their dominance, and their rosters of superstar players, they’ve endured striking inequality low pay, poor playing conditions, and limited opportunities to play in professional leagues.

The National Team, from leading soccer journalist Caitlin Murray, tells the history of the USWNT in full, from their formation in the 1980s to the run-up to the 2019 World Cup, chronicling both their athletic triumphs and less visible challenges off the pitch. Murray also recounts the rise and fall of U.S. professional leagues, including the burgeoning National Women’s Soccer League, an essential part of the women’s game.

Through nearly 100 exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and team officials, including Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, Hope Solo, Heather O’Reilly, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, Pia Sundhage, Tom Sermanni, and Sunil Gulati, Murray takes readers inside the locker rooms and board rooms in engrossing detail. A story of endurance and determination, The National Team is a complete portrait of this beloved and important team.

"I just finished this book and found it really interesting and fun to read, while being informative at the same time. I became a fan of the USWNT in 2016 and, while I have picked up on some of the history since then, this book really lays out how the team came to be and the struggles and successes they faced along the way. In particular, I loved a lot of the interviews with former/current players, coaches and staff as it really added beneficial insights and color commentary to the facts. Highly recommend to anyone interested in soccer/women/history!"

The National Team The Inside Story of the Women Who Changed Soccer Caitlin Murray 9781419734496 Books Reviews


  • The National Team is impressive in its breadth and depth. The interviews, the stories, the sourcing, the photographs, and the mosaic of perspectives make this essential reading. This is simply outstanding sports writing. I almost cried reading the first story in the book about the USWNT arriving at the first game of the '99 World Cup. I won't spoil it for you, but wow.

    More than that, though, The National Team is an important book. My daughter has not stopped reading it since it arrived. She takes it everywhere. She may not ever finish because she is stopping on every page to read aloud or summarize a story for us. Representation matters, and here is a story--no, a saga--spanning more than 30 years of women daring to carve out and ultimately demand their rightful place in their sport.

    Highly recommended for everyone who cares at all about soccer.
  • I just finished this book and found it really interesting and fun to read, while being informative at the same time. I became a fan of the USWNT in 2016 and, while I have picked up on some of the history since then, this book really lays out how the team came to be and the struggles and successes they faced along the way. In particular, I loved a lot of the interviews with former/current players, coaches and staff as it really added beneficial insights and color commentary to the facts. Highly recommend to anyone interested in soccer/women/history!
  • As a young fan who really fell in love with the USWNT during the 2015 World Cup, I never knew the history behind the team and all they had to fight for over the years. Murray provides wonderful insight from her interviews with the people in the room and deftly covers the action both on and off the field. A must read for any sports fan.
  • Caitlin Murray uncovered the 30+ yrs of the struggles of the US Women's National Soccer Team who faced a federation that did not support nor believe in them. AND YET, the USWNT is the MOST successful women's soccer team in the world. An incredible amount of research, interviews, etc., tells this story like no other news report or book has to date. It's intriguing and yet revealing what women/minorities have done to empower themselves against all odds. A must read for anyone interested in sports, equality, and the fight for it. #UntilWeAllWin
  • A wonderful and in depth history of the Women’s National Team, something no one else has done at this length before. the book does an amazing job taking you behind the scenes and explaining how what happened off the field effected the performances on it. I have a newfound respect for the players of the US and NWSL even though I always considered myself a supporter of the women’s game. Learning what the players did behind the scenes was remarkable. The way the author writes about the action on the field made me feel like I was reliving the Olympics and World Cups all over again and it gave me goosebumps. I am even more psyched for the 2019 World Cup than I could have imagined. This is a MUST Read for every soccer fan both male and female.
  • Loved every word. It’s a must read for passionate soccer fans (men or women) and an amazing read for casual or even non-fans. It’s a well written book about over coming obstacles, perseverance, how the much things have changed and how much they still need to.

    I’ve been an avid fan of the USWNT since ‘99 and I learned a great deal from this book. Fantastic read.
  • Everyone needs to read this book. I finished it in 2 days because I couldn’t put it down. If you like reading and you like the uswnt past and present then give this a chance. Read about what these women did and are continuing to do to fight for equal rights. Wish I had more of it
  • Far too much about money and soccer politics and not nearly enough about the players as people.

A is for Activist Innosanto Nagara Books Reviews


  • Philosophy must always be critiqued. It is a necessary part of the process of determining the ethics of chosen a work. Do not fool yourselves, A is for activist is a work of philosophy, albeit, a sophomoric build on a Hegelian epistemology. For this reason, it should not be considered a work for children, unless the writer intended to propagate Kant’s corruption of noumena, by disguising reality and introducing phenomena as a priori. The work fails, even under Kant’s requirements of reason to make a valuable determination of the nature of humanism. This review cannot assume the reason for this, because it is not possible to fully understand the writer’s epistemology and thus the review has no tool by which to measure how the conflicts and confused notions can co-exist amongst its pages.

    The book's layout is an attempt to present a method of learning the alphabet for whom we must assume to be children. Each page is dedicated to a single letter such as “A is for…” as the title implies and goes all the way to the letter “Z”. By the letter “B” the book is already advocating the destruction of other people’s property, by suggesting an ‘activist’ (defined on the letter “A” page) when disagreeing with someone’s private practices is entitled to stop their business and force them to listen. The picture depicts a banner hung from what looks to be a crane. It is highly doubtful that the so-called activist will purchase (or rent) an expensive piece of building equipment just to hang a homemade banner from. Yet, to show the absence of a logical reason based epistemology, the letter “C” indicates it means to cooperate. Within three pages of this so-called educational book, it has already proved it is not based on a metaphysics of reality, but dances inside Kant’s phenomenal world, where only emotions are moral truth. Only Kant and through Hegel, are emotions a measure of reality. No metaphysics worth its salt would leave reality out of the equation with trying to determine what is real.

    The book is rife with anti-human ideals; such as political dominance by a perceived idea of majority (D is for) even when no such majority actually exists; notion of equal rights (E is for) except when someone else’s idea of rights is opposite to your own (B is for, M is for, N is for, O is for, P is for, and Z is for).

    What is missing from the book? F is for Freedom, an axiomatic notion the a priori value of self and the right to own all of your own ideas even those opposed by others. H is for Humanism, the love of humanity even when it is different from your own. L is for Liberty, the authority over your ideas, even if they fall outside the perception of a thing calling itself a majority.

    And most of all it is missing
    A is for anarchy which is from the greek, composed of two words “an” meaning without and “arkhos” meaning ruler; no rulers only the self. A book about activism is no book at all unless it stems from the center of the soul of the writer. Real activism comes from their own atmosphere and loves others regardless of their views. Activism is humanism, not the advocation of theft, violence, and destruction of other people’s liberty.

    This book is not a children’s book, it is propaganda with a tone of force on others. As is clear with the tone, voice, and words for the letter O that suggests when others impose systems that you disagree with that it is okay to agitate and organize. There is nothing individual or in the nature of being human in that statement. The title should have been "A is for absolutism, it is our way or else"

    To close, A is for activist is a philosophical work in the vain of Saul Alinsky and all anti-natural, anti-humanist communists. This book should be added to your library to help teach your children. It can be used to show them how propaganda is not education, it is not critical thinking and it is not, most importantly, about self-responsibility and the natural rights of men.
  • I bought this book for my son, and there are parts of it that are wonderful. The illustrations are beautiful and overall it does a great job of introducing many justice concepts to young children. However, I think it struggles with not knowing its audience.

    Some pages are perfect for the board-book set. The "K" page - "Kings are fine for storytime/knights are fun to play/but when we make decisions/we will choose the people's way" - is one of my favorites. It's a great, age-appropriate introduction to anti-imperialism. The "W" page has an absolutely beautiful poem about celebrating diversity. Several pages have a very lyrical rhythm to the writing that reminds me of rap music or spoken word poetry and is very fun to read.

    Others, however, aren't really age appropriate. The "R" page, for example, uses a facetious/sarcastic tone that is way beyond the understanding of young children, especially when it's such a departure from the tone of the rest of the book. The "S" page has a great little poem celebrating solar power, but follows it up with "silly selfish scoundrels sucking on dinosaur sludge? Boo! Hiss!", a line I could easily imagine leading to a rather upsetting conversation for a sensitive preschooler, since right now the vast majority of families simply don't have access to fully sustainable power sources. The "D" page references, and is solely illustrated by, the donkey/elephant symbols of American party politics, which besides being internationally limiting is way over the heads of the target audience.

    On the more academic side of things, there's the issue that this is, ostensibly, an *alphabet* book. The page for "U" - which says "U is for..." for several "W" words before correcting itself - drives my teacher sensibilities crazy. Ditto for the illustration for the "T" page, which doesn't depict any of the objects-starting-with-T that the text lists.

    And while I wouldn't take off stars just for this, I do think there was a missed opportunity here for some parent education...I'd have loved to see a page in the back listing brief descriptions of the people mentioned in the text. There were some I'm not familiar with, and a little more to go on for looking them up would have been useful (there are several names on the "J" page, in particular, that I'm not sure if they're meant to reference specific individuals or not).

    It's a great concept, and overall I like it and intend to keep it on my bookshelf, but I'm definitely bummed about the varying quality of writing from one page to the next.
  • Shouldn’t we focus on teaching our young preschoolers empathy and proactive problem solving and focus less on anger and strife? The world is an awful place, and yes we need to teach our kids to help change it, but they are still kids and it’s also our job to protect them from awful things, at least to an extent. I don’t think calling for violent revolution and demeaning the opposition do that.

    Many large buzzwords are used that will thrill and excite the reader, but young listeners will be lost. There are no explanations for the long strings of words far beyond the preschool comprehension.

    It’s a lovely message that should have perhaps been formatted and presented for a older age group with a more sophisticated sense of right and wrong.

    I must say I much prefer Counting on Community and the way it normalized proactive steps and highlights the good.
  • I ordered this book as a gift for my friend's 2 year old daughter (another book for her collection, and I figured my friend would definitely appreciate the message). I still plan on giving it to them, but after reading the full book once it arrived, I'm not as excited about it. Some of the pages are well-done and well-written, but other pages aren't quite up to par and seem as if the author was grasping at straws to just find something to write related to the letter. The quality is great and I love the artwork on the illustrations. I'm giving this 3 stars because while I appreciate the message and the author's intent, some of the writing falls incredibly flat and a bit on the derogatory side.

An Economist Walks into a Brothel And Other Unexpected Places to Understand Risk Allison Schrager 9780525533962 Books Reviews


  • If the title doesn't induce you to buy this book, then the first few pages will do it. Alison Schrager has done a masterful job explaining in plain English -- using rather (ahem) unconventional examples and illustrations -- of how to take account of and manage risk in your life, drawing on fundamental lessons of finance and economics. I predict this book will be huge best seller, and help make believers out of some doubters about the usefulness of economic reasoning. An economics and a best seller? -- no not a contradiction in terms. This book demonstrates that, get it, read it and you'll see what I mean
  • What a great and fun read! An economist and a journalist, Schrager writes lucidly and compellingly about how to hedge our bets and plan for the future. The book is incredibly readable, and the author explains economic principles without dumbing down the material or giving it a partisan spin. By using examples of big time risk takers, from prostitutes and horse breeders to magicians and big wave surfers, she gives the reader unexpected models that highlight important economic concepts. A fascinating read with smart analysis, this is a book we should all own!
  • If you haven't given much thought to risk or read any of the pertinent literature or studies, then perhaps this book will help focus you and provide some new insights into human decision making that had been hidden. But I struggled to find anything new here. Moreover, the deference to finance seems misplaced. "Financial economics is the science of risk," writes Schrager. A science? What about the last financial crisis? And the 2000 stock market bubble? And the numerous hedge funds that have closed shop in the past 10 years? And the persistent underperformance of most fund managers? Obviously, other forces are at work here, which makes the study of risk complex and nuanced.

    That said, risk management is a subject that deserves everyone's attention, to be sure. I suspect most of us aren't great at spotting, weighing and managing opportunities and risks, and perhaps this book will help -- so long as you haven't already delved deeply into the subject. If you're just starting out or early in your thought process, this book isn't a bad place to start.
  • This book is intended for people new to concepts of risk management, using some colorful real-life examples, such as big wave surfing, racehorse breeding, and the titular brothels. Alas, some of the connections between real-life risk-takers and the specified concepts are very thin. In addition, there was a dimension to risk that I found not explored quite as well, which is the human element.

    For example, in the section about paparazzi, the person profiled set up a "cartel" of sorts, which members would sometime break - a risk hedging tool often can break due how humans actually behave. Similarly, the book ends talking about the need for regulators to keep up with evolving risks (no argument there), but without the recognition there's a reason the savviest risk-taking aren't regulators.

    I think this would be a good book for the general public as well as schools, going down to high school level. You hook them with what seems like it would be a titillating story (legal brothels), but it's really about how to structure a business so that it's a win-win for all involved (owner, employees, and customers). There's a good index and lots of notes at the end that could be used for deeper discussion and exploration in class.
  • Entertaining and filled with examples, this book is a great read for non-economists (think Freakonomics). I did spot a couple typos, but they were minor and nothing that can't easily be forgiven, considering how recently the book came out. Would recommend for those interested in economics, probability or statistical thinking. The author references several interviews with lots of different people which make this book a lovely experience even for those already familiar with risk assessment and financial economics. 5 stars, worth checking out.
  • This is a brilliantly conceived book in which Dr. Schrager presents a wonderful series of stories, or as she calls them ‘parables,’ to support her thesis that the basic principles of financial economics can be applied to everyday risk decisions. Each chapter features an interesting narrative about a fascinating character or two she has interviewed to cleverly illustrate various ways to more realistically assess and manage risk.

    In a recent interview about this book, Dr Schrager shares her passion for her work. It is clear that this lead her to interview people who were just as passionate about their work. This contributes significantly to the ability of the author to delightfully and lucidly share her expertise in a notoriously difficult field of study. I think this book is a significant contribution to the field for its originality and intelligibility.
