Brain On Fire: My Month of Madness Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Brain on Fire is the stunning debut from journalist and author Susannah Cahalan, recounting the real-life horror story of how a sudden and mysterious illness put her on descent into a madness for which there seemed to be no cure 'My first serious blackout marked the line between sanity and insanity. Though I would have moments of lucidity over the coming days and weeks, I would never again be the same person...' Susannah Cahalan was a happy, clever, healthy twenty-four-year old. Then one day she woke up in hospital, with no memory of what had happened or how she had got there. Within weeks, she would be transformed into someone unrecognizable, descending into a state of acute psychosis, undergoing rages and convulsions, hallucinating that her father had murdered his wife; that she could control time with her mind. Everything she had taken for granted about her life, and who she was, was wiped out. This is Susannah's story of her terrifying descent into madness and the desperate hunt for a diagnosis, as, after dozens of tests and scans, baffled doctors concluded she should be confined in a psychiatric ward.It is also the story of how one brilliant man, Syria-born Dr Najar, finally proved - using a simple pen and paper - that Susannah's psychotic behaviour was caused by a rare autoimmune disease attacking her brain. His diagnosis of this little-known condition, thought to have been the real cause of devil-possessions through history, saved her life, and possibly the lives of many others. Cahalan takes readers inside this newly-discovered disease through the progress of her own harrowing journey, piecing it together using memories, journals, hospital videos and records. Written with passionate honesty and intelligence, Brain on Fire is a searingly personal yet universal book, which asks what happens when your identity is suddenly destroyed, and how you get it back. "With eagle-eye precision and brutal honesty, Susannah Cahalan turns her journalistic gaze on herself as she bravely looks back on one of the most harrowing and unimaginable experiences one could ever face: the loss of mind, body and self...a mesmerizing story". (Mira Bartok, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory Palace).Susannah Cahalan is a reporter on the New York Post, and the recipient of the 2010 Silurian Award of Excellence in Journalism for Feature Writing. Her writing has also appeared in the New York Times, and is frequently picked up by the Daily Mail, Gawker, Gothamist, AOL and Yahoo among other news aggregrator sites.

Hollywood Ending Penguin LCC US

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A vivid biography of Harvey Weinstein how he rose to become a dominant figure in the film world, how he used that position to feed his monstrous sexual appetites, and how it all came crashing down, from the author who has covered the Hollywood and media power game for The New Yorker for three decadesTwenty years ago, Ken Auletta wrote an iconic New Yorker profile of the Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was then at the height of his powers. The profile made waves for exposing how volatile, even violent, Weinstein was to his employees and collaborators. But there was a much darker story that was just out of reach: rumors had long swirled that Weinstein was a sexual predator. Auletta confronted Weinstein, who denied the claims. Since no one was willing to go on the record, Auletta and the magazine concluded they couldn t close the case. Years later, he was able to share his reporting notes and knowledge with Ronan Farrow; he cheered as Farrow, and Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, finally revealed the truth. Still, the story continued to nag him. The trail of assaults and cover-ups had been exposed, but the larger questions remained: What was at the root of Weinstein s monstrousness? How, and why, was it never checked? Why the silence? How does a man run the day-to-day operations of a company with hundreds of employees and revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and at the same time live a shadow life of sexual predation without ever being caught? How much is this a story about Harvey Weinstein, and how much is this a story about Hollywood and power? In pursuit of the answers, Auletta digs into Weinstein s life, searching for the mysteries beneath a film career unparalleled for its extraordinary talent and creative success, which combined with a personal brutality and viciousness to leave a trail of ruined lives in its wake. Hollywood Ending is more than a prosecutor s litany; it is an unflinching examination of Weinstein's life and career, embedding his crimes in the context of the movie business, in his failures and the successes that led to enormous power. Film stars, Miramax employees and board members, old friends and family, and even the person who knew him best Harvey s brother, Bob all talked to Auletta at length. Weinstein himself also responded to Auletta s questions from prison. The result is not simply the portrait of a predator but of the power that allowed Weinstein to operate with such impunity for so many years, the spiderweb in which his victims found themselves trapped.

The Girl Who Escaped ISIS - Hoffmann Andrea, Khalaf Farida

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - In August 2014, Farida Khalaf was just a normal Yazidi girl, living in a village high in the mountains of northern Iraq. Then her village was attacked and swiftly taken by ISIS fighters, and her whole world changed. The jihadists murdered the men and the boys of her village, including her father and brothers, before taking Farida prisoner along with the rest of the women. This is the story of what happened to Farida after she was captured: the beatings, the rapes, the markets where ISIS sold their female prisoners like cattle, and Farida's realisation that the more difficult and resistant she became, the harder it was for her captors to continue their atrocities against her. So she struggled, she bit, she kicked, she accused her captors of going against their religion, and then, one day, the door to her room was left unlocked. She took her chance along with 5 other women, and set out across the Syrian desert ... This is a story of incredible courage in the face of unthinkable atrocity. As the battle against ISIS continues to ravage the Middle East, The Girl Who Escaped Isis provides an astonishing perspective on this very terrifying global threat.

Austrian Mint dotychczas wyemitowała monety o czterech nominałach Euro: 10, 25, 50 i 100 Euro. Aby uczcić jubileusz - 20 rocznicę "narodzin" prestiżowej monety odnoszącej międzynarodowy sukces, znanej na całym świecie ze swojego piękna, czystości i wysokiej jakości -  austriacka mennica w dniu 16 października 2009 roku wyemitowała jedynie 6027 sztuk złotej monety Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy o pierwszym w historii numizmatyki nominale 2.000 Euro! Każda moneta wybita została z czystego - 24-karatowego złota o wadze 20 uncji trojańskich złota! Maksymalna wielkość emisji wynosi 3 x 2009 sztuk, co stanowi nawiązanie do trzech najważniejszych rynków: Europy, Japonii i USA, jak też odniesienie do roku emisji. To specjalne wydanie monety Wiener Philharmoniker umieszczone jest w eleganckiej, drewnianej kasecie wraz z indywidualnie numerowanym certyfikatem autentyczności. "Im gorsze czasy, tym mocniej świeci się złoto." "Kto ma złoto, zawsze ma pieniądze."  Złoto to niekwestionowane uosobienie bogactwa, stabilności i bezpieczeństwa. Natomiast złote monety bulionowe to alternatywny sposób inwestowania i bezpieczny sposób dywersyfikacji portfela inwestycyjnego. W ciągu ostatnich 5 lat cena złota wzrosła ponad 100%! Monety bulionowe to monety z metali szlachetnych (głównie ze złota, srebra, platyny) bite w celach inwestycyjnych - lokaty kapitału. Monety te zwykle nie mają zadeklarowanej wartości, zamiast nominału podana jest zawartość kruszcu. Nakład zwykle nie jest ograniczony i zależy od popytu. Pierwszą monetą bulionową był wybity w 1970 roku w RPA Krugerrand. Złota moneta bulionowa "Filharmonicy Wiedeńscy" jest jedyną na świecie złotą monetą lokacyjną denominowaną w Euro! Elegancka, gustowna, wytworna, wykwintna - to słowa idealnie pasujące do opisania tej pięknej monety. Niezwykła moneta została wyemitowana na cześć słynnej orkiestry Wiener Philharmoniker - jednego z najlepszych zespołów muzycznych na świecie. Harmonijny projekt instrumentów muzycznych reprezentujących światowej sławy orkiestrę uwieczniono na rewersie. Natomiast awers monety przedstawia Wielkie Organy w Golden Hall w Wiedniu, w sali koncertowej w Musikverein. Wielu kolekcjonerów i inwestorów uznaje te monety za jedne z najpiękniejszych złotych monet na świecie. Do dnia 31 grudnia 2001 roku Filharmonicy byli denominowani w twardej walucie - austriackich Szylingach o nominałach: 2000, 1000, 500 i 200 Szylingów. Od 1 stycznia 2002 r. z uwagi na przejście Austrii na walutę Euro, monety te są bite z nominałami: 100, 50, 25 i 10 Euro. Dzięki temu, że te złote monety lokacyjne bite są w 4 rodzajach - o różnej wadze i wielkości, każdy może dopasować inwestycję do swoich potrzeb i możliwości. Ponadto z okazji jubileuszu monety Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy - w roku 2009 wybito monetę o nominale 2000 Euro i wadze 20 uncji czystego złota! Istotne jest to, że cena monet Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy jest bardzo konkurencyjna w stosunku do cen innych monet bulionowych, dzięki czemu monety z tej popularnej serii szybko stały się także obiektem pożądania inwestorów. Wiener Filharmoniker, czyli Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy to monety bulionowe (lokacyjne), które stanowią europejski odpowiednik amerykańskich "Buffalo", "Gold Eagles", czy południowoafrykańskich "Krugerandów". Bite są od lat w cenionej ze swej jakości i znajdującej uznanie na całym świecie Mennicy Austriackiej. Monety bite w tej mennicy to efekt długiej tradycji numizmatycznej, gdyż Austrian Mint to mennica o ponad 800-letnim doświadczeniu. Ogromną zaletą monet lokacyjnych Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy jest ich łatwe rozpoznawanie w kantorach na całym świecie, gdyż często są bardziej cenione niż sztabki lokacyjne z uwagi na dodatkowy walor kolekcjonerski, związany z projektem tych monet. Na awersie złotej monety uwieczniona została sala koncertowa Golden Hall w Wiedniu - miejsce corocznego koncertu z okazji Nowego Roku, a dokładnie wyselekcjonowane instrumenty muzyczne - słynne piszczałki organowe w Musikverein. Na monecie ukazano bardzo szczegółowy wizerunek Wielkiej Piszczałki Organowej w Filharmonii w Wiedniu, jednego z najbardziej złożonych instrumentów muzycznych na świecie. Na rewersie monety ukazano "bukiet" złożony z instrumentów orkiestry, niesamowicie oddając wszystkie ich szczegóły! Znajduje się tu dobrze skomponowany układ instrumentów używanych przez muzyków z Filharmonii Wiedeńskiej, w tym francuski róg, fagot, harfa, wiolonczela, dwoje skrzypiec i dwie altówki. Filharmonicy Wiedeńscy to jedna z najbardziej cenionych orkiestr Europy i jedna z najsłynniejszych orkiestr świata. Wiener Philharmoniker to także jedna z najstarszych orkiestr świata. Zespół istnieje od 1842 roku. Orkiestra słynie z konserwatyzmu - m.in. niechętnie zmienia tradycyjne miejsca swoich koncertów, a w jej składzie grają mężczyźni. Dlaczego warto kupić złotą monetę lokacyjną Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy: Złota moneta Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy jest bita w czystym złocie - próby Au 999,9! Jest to najlepiej sprzedająca się złota moneta inwestycyjna w Europie i Japonii. W latach: 1992, 1995, 1996 i 2000 była najlepiej sprzedającą się złotą monetą na świecie. Wśród tych złotych monet wyemitowano wszystkie cztery nominały Euro: 10, 25, 50 i 100 Euro. Z okazji jubileuszu monety Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy - w roku 2009 wybito monetę o nominale 2000 Euro i wadze 20 uncji! Cena złota stale wykazuje tendencje wzrostowe, nawet pomimo chwilowych wahań! Projekt monety jest piękny, wytworny i wyraźnie dopracowany w szczegółach! Moneta bita jest przez mennicę Austrian Mint - mennicę o ponad 800-letnim doświadczeniu. Ciekawostką jest ponadto to, że w 2004 roku z okazji 15 rocznicy emisji monety Filharmonicy - został wybity Wiedeński Filharmonik "Big Phil" o wadze 31 kg - druga pod względem wielkości złota moneta na świecie, która została wpisana do księgi Rekordów Guinnessa. Mennica Austrii - to ponad 800 lat doświadczenia: istniejąca od 1194 roku mennica z siedzibą w Wiedniu w Austrii, piękne monety - jako efekt długiej tradycji mincerskiej i numizmatycznej, gwarancje rządu dotyczące jakości, czystości i wagi złota, lider o ugruntowanej pozycji na rynku metali szlachetnych, uznany kontrahent światowych instytucji finansowych. Mennica Austrian Mint produkuje monety obiegowe, kolekcjonerskie i bulionowe. Działa na skalę międzynarodową, oferując szeroki wybór numizmatów najwyższej jakości. Każdego roku w Wiedniu bite są monety w łącznej ilości około 300 milionów sztuk. Austrian Mint posiada certyfikat ISO 9001-2000. Jest jedną z największych, najbardziej nowoczesnych i najbardziej wszechstronnych mennic na świecie. W 2003 roku jako pierwsza mennica na świecie wybiła monetę, w której wykorzystano mariaż tradycji z nowoczesnością, czyli połączenie srebra z niobem. Natomiast w 2008 roku wybiła pierwsze europejskie, srebrne monety lokacyjne o nominale 1,5 Euro z serii "Wiedeńscy Filharmonicy". Monety z Austrian Mint swój sukces zawdzięczają przede wszystkim innowacyjnym produktom, dopracowanym w szczegółach projektom, precyzji wykonania oraz ich doskonałej jakości, będącej wynikiem zarówno długiej tradycji numizmatycznej, jak też stałej, ścisłej kontroli końcowej jakości produktów. Ponad 800 lat doświadczenia w numizmatyce robi wrażenie - w 1994 roku mennica obchodziła 800. rocznicę działalności. Za czasów monarchii były tu bite korony, guldeny i dukaty, a następnie szylingi. Natomiast od 2002 r. menica bije Euro i Centy, niezależnie od tego, czy są one przeznaczone na zakupy, jako inwestycja lub jako monety kolekcjonerskie. Międzynarodowe uznanie w świecie numizmatyki przejawia się m. in. poprzez wybór i upoważnienie Austrian Mint jako jednej z pięciu mennic na świecie do wydawania urzędowych monet dla Międzynarodowego Komitetu Olimpijskiego na stulecie obchodów ruchu olimpijskiego. Wiener Philharmoniker - to najważniejsza orkiestra w Austrii i jedna spośród bardziej znaczących na świecie. Jej siedzibą jest znany na cały świat Musikverein. Członkowie tej orkiestry są dobierani spośród zespołu Wiener Staatsoper. Początki Wiener Philharmoniker sięgają 1842 roku. Jej dyrygentami w latach 1875-1933 byli między innymi: Hans Richter, Wilhelm Furtwängler oraz Clemens Krauss. Później orkiestra ta nie miała już stałego dyrygenta, lecz gościła różne światowe sławy: Richarda Straussa, Karla Böhma, Herberta von Karajana, Georga Soltiego, Ericha Kleibera, Carlosa Kleibera, Leonarda Bernsteina oraz Claudio Abbado. Die Wiener Philharmoniker obecnie uznawana jest za najlepszą orkiestrę w Europie, ponadto powszechnie uważana za jedną z najlepszych w świecie. Ich charakterystyczny dźwięk można przypisać do instrumentów i stylów gry, które są zasadniczo inne, niż te stosowane przez inne główne orkiestry. Repertuar Filharmoników Wiedeńskich jest jednym z największych spośród wszelkich orkiestr, choć najbardziej znanym i kojarzącym się z tą orkiestrą kompozytorem jest Strauss. Bilety są notorycznie trudne do zdobycia - trzynaście lat - tyle wynosi czasowa lista oczekujących na weekend sezonu biletowego (ale tylko sześć lat czekać trzeba na nocną subskrypcję weekendową). Wiener Musikverein - znana na całym świecie ze swojej akustyki sala koncertowa w Wiedniu, w której pierwszy koncert odbył się w 1870 roku. Jest uważana za jedną z trzech najlepszych sal symfonicznych na świecie, wraz z Boston's Symphony Hall i Concertgebouw w Amsterdamie. Największą salą koncertową w Musikverein jest Grosser Musikvereinsaal, bardziej znana po prostu jako Golden Hall (lub Goldener Saal). Sala ta posiada 1744 miejsc siedzących i dodatkowe miejsca stojące. Masywne organy z przodu Golden Hall, zostały zainstalowane przez austriacką firmę Rieger w 1907 roku. Sala ta słynie także z tego, że każdego roku, w dniu 1 stycznia odbywa się tutaj wspaniały koncert Wiedeńskich Filharmoników. 20 Ounce Gold Coin celebrates a 20 Year Success Story Twenty years ago in 1989 the Austrian State Mint passed from the Treasury into the ownership of the central bank. The mint was given the freedom to produce and sell products in accordance with the demands of the modern numismatic and investment markets. One of the very first innovations introduced by the new CEO, Paul Berger, was the production of a gold bullion coin for investment purposes: the Vienna Philharmonic. On 16th October this year a limited quantity of 6,027 Vienna Philharmonic coins, each weighing 20 ounces of fine gold, will go on sale in Europe, America and Japan. 20 ounces to commemorate 20 years! Why the odd number? The mint decided to offer 2009 coins (the date of the 20th anniversary) in its three major markets: in Europe, in America and in Japan. Investors still remember the 15 giant coins (each of 1,000 ounces) that celebrated the fifteenth anniversary in 2004, and that entered the Guinness Book of Records as the then largest gold coin in the world. All 15 giant coins were snapped up within days, and the excitement surrounding this special issue of a 20 ounce coin promises a similar market reaction. The new 20 ounce coin has a diameter of 74 mm and a thickness of 8.3 mm and is housed in a prestigious wooden and red velvet case. Pre-orders for this unique anniversary gold coin have already started pouring into the mint in Vienna. It promises to be a major success as indeed the past 20 years of the Austrian bullion programme have been. The Vienna Philharmonic Story The decision in 1989 to issue a gold bullion coin in the two weights of 1 ounce and
