In accessible language and with periodic references to Star Trek, motorcycle daredevils, and near-classic movies of the '80s, developmental molecular biologist John Medina explores the neurological and evolutionary factors that drive teenage behavior and can affect both achievement and engagement.

One of my dad’s favorite jokes about getting older was: “I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight!” I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a “mid-grade, kind of hammy actor" (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood. This next book, an “Act II” if you will, could be considered my “maturing years” in show business, when I began to say “no” more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload. If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride.

Hollywood has never lacked leading men who could captivate viewers with dramatic performances that depict them as suave romantics or dashing heroes, especially during the Golden Age of Hollywood when stars like Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Cary Grant graced screens. But in 1940, the 4th most popular star in the U.S. was a foreign actor from Australia, and unlike other movie stars, he was more notorious for his pursuits off the screen than on it.

Sumner Murray Redstone, once feared as the “mad genius” of media who would dump his CEOs for mere wobbles in his companies’ stock price, had built one of the world’s greatest media empires through a series of audacious takeovers constructed to ensure that he always maintained control.

Desde los albores de la humanidad, las mujeres hemos estado siempre vinculadas al pecado. Mujeres pecadoras, lascivas, fornicadoras, ¿por qué no virtuosas, inteligentes, ambiciosas? ¿Utilizar nuestras virtudes en un mundo dominado culturalmente por hombres es pecado? ¿Puede la historia o la opinión pública condenarnos por buscar las vías para ser libres?, ¿para pensar por nosotras mismas, para dejar de ser objetos de posesión, de belleza, de maternidad y decidir cómo queréis que sea nuestra vida? Por ellas, por nosotras, para nosotras es este libro.

Victor von Bülow (alias LORIOT) und Gregor von Rezzori - bei allen Unterschieden in Herkunft und Lebenslauf erweisen sich diese zwei Großmeister des Humors als verwandte Geister: beide arbeiteten erfolgreich als Zeichner, Schauspieler und Autoren; ihre Werke besitzen feinsinnige Komik und geschliffene Eloquenz.

Dies zeigt sich auch wieder in den Gesprächen, die Hellmuth Karasek in der Fernsehsendung SPIEGEL TV Thema in den 90er Jahren mit ihnen führte. Ein großartiges Dokument!
