How Starbucks Saved My Life
￥72.30
A candid, moving and inspirational memoir about a high-flying business man who is forced to re-evaluate his life and values when he suddenly loses everything and goes to work in Starbucks. Michael Gill had it made. He was educated, wealthy and well-connected. He had a creative and lucrative advertising job, which he loved and which he was good at, and a model family and home life. Then he loses it all. He is fired by a young exec whom he had mentored. He has an extramarital affair that destroys his family and results in a newborn son. Then he is diagnosed with brain cancer. He has no insurance, no income. One day he wanders into Starbucks and by chance signs up for a job interview. His would-be boss is a young black woman who gives him a job, and sets about training him and mentoring him. What follows is an inspirational eye-opener as Gill experiences a whole new world compared to his former life – with people from completely different ethnic and social backgrounds. ‘How Starbucks Saved My Life’ follows Gill's journey of discovery as gradually he is forced to question his ingrained assumptions, prejudices and habits. Gill emerges from his fall from grace with humility and gratitude. His new-found empathy teaches him how anyone who has lost their way, or made a mistake, can start again.
Mustaine: A Life in Metal
￥72.30
Founding member of Megadeth and former Metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine tells a never-before-heard story of the lifetime he has spent in rock ‘n’ roll. But this extraordinary tale, riddled with his own personal ups and downs, is also the inside account of two of the most influential heavy metal bands in the world. Here, for the first time ever, Dave Mustaine tells the tale of two of the biggest metal bands in history; a story yet to be told from the inside. Metallica, the pioneers of the thrash metal genre, rocketed to international fame in the 1980s, selling over 90 million records worldwide, making it the most successful band of its kind – ever. Megadeth, the second most successful thrash metal band ever, have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, including six consecutive platinum albums. Despite their enormous success together, Dave and Metallica have bad blood by the bucket-load. In April of 1983, due in part to alcoholism and in part to personality clashes with founding members Hetfield and Ulrich, Dave was unceremoniously fired from the band, dumped at a Greyhound bus station in Rochester, NY with a single ticket back to LA. How did such an abrupt end come about? How did he pick himself back up, recover his dignity, and go on to send another band into the dizzying heights of rock stardom? The time has come to set the record straight. From the early, crazy days of Metallica to his split with the band, and to his glorious reign with Megadeth, Dave has seen and experienced life’s extremities. This startlingly candid, refreshingly in-your-face memoir tells it all.
Thanks, Johnners: An Affectionate Tribute to a Broadcasting Legend
￥72.30
Perfect for cricket fans everywhere, Thanks Johnners is a warm and witty tribute to Brian Johnston and his time at the helm of Test Match Special. The Test Match Special on-air incident, in which Jonathan Agnew's comment on Ian Botham's attempt to avoid stepping on his stumps – "He just couldn't quite get his leg over" provoking prolonged fits of giggles, most notably from Brian Johnston, has been voted the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever. The friendship between "Aggers" and "Johnners" became immortalised through that broadcasting classic, but there was a far deeper bond between the two men, as this fascinating book reveals. Jonathan Agnew had grown up to the sound of Johnston, Arlott, and a young Martin-Jenkins et al on TMS as he followed his father around on the family farm, ear glued to the transistor radio, but the two men met formally only when Agnew joined the BBC team at Headingley in 1991. Thus began a great working partnership which, fuelled by a mutual passion for the noble game, bridged the generation gap and ended only with Johnston's sudden death in 1994. As this book demonstrates so convincingly, Johnners's wit, warmth and sense of fun was a feature not only of his cricket commentaries, but also in the way he lived his life. His influence on "Aggers" is clearly recognisable in the same amiable and informal manner in which his successor presents Test Match Special today. Thanks, Johnners is a rich blend of biography and anecdote, of antics and dramas on and off the pitch, in and out of the commentary box, its pages filled with stories about the great names of cricket including Fred Trueman, Geoffrey Boycott, Vivian Richards, Michael Holding and Ian Botham. Just as TMS is the sound of summer, so Thanks, Johnners is the fresh breeze rippling the long grass of remembered pleasures.

A n? élete

Bihari Péternek láthatóan az a szándéka, hogy ?személyes t?rténeteken” keresztül mondja el, milyen is volt a világháború. Tudja és érti, hogy a háború t?rténete nem csak hadt?rténet, hanem társadalomt?rténet. Ezért nagyon sok oldalról ad pillanatfelvételeket a háborús létr?l – arról, hogyan élte meg az emberiség egy bizonyos része a háború állapotát.

Comentariile lui Cristian ?opescu ?mpletite cu turneul final de vis al na?ionalei Rom?niei m-au f?cut s? vreau un singur lucru: s? ajung ?i eu comentator ?i s? pot tr?i pe viu meciuri de neuitat. A?a am absolvit ?coala Superioar? de Jurnalistic? ?n 2003, an ?n care mi-am realizat ?i un prim vis: acela de a comenta un meci de fotbal ?n direct. Se ?nt?mpla la TV Sport, actualul sport.ro. Partida, Arsenal – Everton 2-0. De atunci p?n? ?n prezent am adunat peste 1700 de meciuri comentate, fie din studio, fie de pe stadion. Printre ele, dou? finale de Champions League, c?teva dintre cele mai a?teptate derby-uri din Europa, Barcelona – Real Madrid, AC Milan – Inter sau Arsenal – Manchester United, precum ?i Clasicul Rom?niei, Steaua – Dinamo. Inevitabil, c?nd e?ti ?ntr-o asemenea situa?ie, trebuie s? ?nfrun?i ?i criticile ?i cele mai grobiene ?njur?turi. ?tiu c? stilul meu vulcanic, mai sud-american, nu este pe placul tuturor, ?ns? eu cred c? mi se potrive?te cel mai bine. Consider c? un comentator trebuie s? transmit? emo?ia ?i pasiunea din timpul unui meci tocmai pentru a-l face pe telespectator s? se simt? ca ?i cum ar fi pe stadion. Cert este c? pe nimeni nu las? indiferente comentariile mele. Ori plac, ori ba!
