Greg Donahue’s The Minuteman, tells the story of one of Newark’s native sons; ex-prizefighter and longtime Zwillman enforcer Sidney Abramowitz, a.k.a. Nat Arno, who took over leadership of the Minutemen in 1934 and made it his personal business to put an end to what he saw as the Bund’s “anti-American” activities. For six years, Arno and his crew of vigilantes battled Newark’s Nazis at every turn.

Il nostro destino è scritto nelle carte geografiche, e nella loro storia. Ogni crisi vicina e lontana ci costringe a capire la fisicità del mondo in cui viviamo. La geografia e la storia come le abbiamo studiate sui banchi di scuola non ci bastano più.

Ci servono mappe intelligenti per orientarci a capire dove siamo ora, e dove andremo domani. La storia antica riappare negli atlanti, come una trama invisibile che si ripete.

Legion tells the astonishing life story of an man who was far more than a war hero; for Lawrence was also an archaeologist, a linguist and translator, a historian and classicist, a marine engineer, an airman and one of the great English writers of the 20th century. He was also an enigma, even at times to himself, tormented by guilt and shame, by his masochism, self-loathing and his fear of his own sexuality.

In "Spieler-Gegenspieler. Eine Deutsch-Deutsche Nachkriegsgeschichte" erzählt der Autor und Journalist Claudius Crönert die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland anhand einiger ihrer wichtigsten Protagonisten. In 24 Porträts zu je 30 Minuten wird das Panorama eines Staates entworfen, der auf den Trümmern des Zweiten Weltkriegs aufgebaut wurde.

Die unendliche Weite, die Schönheit, aber auch die Gefahren, die die Hohe See birgt, faszinieren Abenteurer und Autoren seit Jahrhunderten. Doch zusehends gefährden Überfischung und Umweltverschmutzung das Meer als Lebensraum und als Ressource für den Menschen. Der mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnete amerikanische Journalist Ian Urbina spürt einerseits dieser Faszination nach und deckt andererseits Missstände auf, wie moderne Sklaverei auf Fischerbooten oder das Aussetzen blinder Passagiere auf hoher See.
