At 3:30 a.m. on April 11, 1933, neighbors and firefighters arrived at the farmhouse of Albin and Alvira Johnson to find a smoldering heap where a seemingly happy home once stood. Beneath the ruins, investigators found the bodies of Alvira and her seven children, but Albin's remains were nowhere to be seen. The authorities determined that Alvira and the children were dead before the fire, and fingers immediately pointed to Albin. Hundreds of searchers, including the illustrious Pinkerton Agency, combed the area and even crossed into Canada in pursuit of Johnson, who was indicted in absentia for murder. But he was never found, dead or alive. What happened to the Johnson family and what part, if any, Albin played in the tragedy remain a mystery. Twin Cities journalist Brian Johnson tells the story that has beguiled the community for generations.

Brian Johnson, sångaren i AC/DC, ger äntligen ut sina memoarer.När Brian för första gången ser Little Richard på BBC förändras hans liv och han bestämmer sig för att bli rocksångare. Många år senare blir han inbjuden till en audition för ett av världens största rockband, efter att i ett decennium försökt slå sig fram inom musikbranschen. AC/DC var i kris efter att sångaren i bandet, Bon Scott, tragiskt gått bort. Med Brian ombord spelar bandet in sitt mästerverk Back in Black, som sedan kom att bli det mest sålda rockalbumet genom tiderna. Brian blir snabbt omfamnad av bandets fans och resten är historia. Men år 2016 tvingas Brian sluta i bandet efter att ha fått diagnosen hörselnedsättning. Fyra år senare gör han en triumferande återkomst till bandet han älskar.Karriären har varit en berg-och dalbana men Brian har behållit båda fötterna jorden och aldrig tappat kontakten med sina rötter. Boken är en varm, levande, stämningsfull, livsbejakande och humoristisk berättelse om en älskad artist, med en helt unik röst."Det enkla språket och direkta tilltalet ger känslan av att man sitter bredvid Johnson på den lokala puben och delar minnen och anekdoter över en pint Guinness. Till och med när Johnson berättar om sin känslokalla och tystlåtne far görs det med glimten i ögat: - Att försöka få honom att visa minsta lilla tecken på känslor var som att försöka krama blod ur en sten... I flera år trodde jag att mitt namn var ’Hallå-där.” Aftonbladet"I Livet enligt Brian - 40 år med AC/DC berättar den sympatiske sångaren om de tidiga åren för att sedan övergå i den första tiden med bandet. Det är en bra, positiv och intressant rockbiografi, nästan fri från skandaler, knark och skörlevnad. Jag ser fram emot en fortsättning..." 4/5 BTJ

Brian Johnson, an investment professional with over 30 years of experience, a former university derivatives professor, and an author of four pioneering books on options, introduces his latest book: Trading Option Volatility. This new in-depth book represents a breakthrough in option valuation, which has profound implications for option strategy design, option and volatility trading, and even for calculating accurate and reliable option risk metrics (Greeks). Drawing on his extensive background in option-valuation and on decades of experience in investment management and trading, Brian Johnson has developed a practical new analytical framework that generates theoretically correct and internally consistent, current and future option prices, volatility index futures prices, and risk metrics (Greeks) - across all term structures of volatilities and all term structures of interest rates. All of the required documentation, formulas, and examples are included to allow the dedicated reader to implement this new framework in practice. This new framework eliminates the invalid and unrealistic constant volatility and constant interest rate assumptions of the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) and conventional binomial option models (BOM), correcting the sizable errors that result from these assumptions. Both the BOM and BSM use different interest rate and volatility assumptions to describe the same time period when evaluating different options. This means that current and future option values calculated by the BOM and BSM are incorrect and inconsistent, as are the Greek (risk metrics) values - which rely on these invalid assumptions Created especially for readers who have some familiarity with options, this practical guide begins with an accessible primer on all aspects of volatility, followed by a two-chapter primer on the binomial options model, followed by a primer on the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Building on that foundation, Chapter 5 provides a comprehensive explanation and detailed examples of the new option valuation and volatility aggregation framework cited above. Chapters 6 and 8, plus the accompanying comprehensive Supplement, execute and document a logical, step-by-step validation plan for all elements of this framework. The remaining chapters provide a wealth of new and practical insights for the volatility trader. You will find it fascinating that the simple, objective trade management strategies of Gamma-Scalping and Portfolio Insurance can be used to solve for the theoretical values and profits of any option or option strategy. Even more important, the Gamma-Scalping strategy can extract the realized value from an option over time, completely offsetting the loss from time decay - in the appropriate realized volatility environment. Evaluating the notorious Portfolio Insurance strategy even provides insights into managing Option Income Strategies. Finally, a number of practical and detailed volatility trade examples are examined in actual market environments. Formulas are included to facilitate the understanding of important concepts, and to provide further research opportunities for inquisitive traders. The book also includes hundreds of graphs and tables to illustrate how the framework and tools can be used in practice. A user-friendly Excel spreadsheet is also included with Trading Option Volatility. The spreadsheet uses actual market data to solve for forward volatilities, which are applied to identify and quantify volatility pricing anomalies in equity index options and volatility index futures contracts. The resulting forward volatilities are also used to calculate structurally-consistent True Vega metrics for ATM options, VIX futures, and their corresponding calendar spreads. All of the spreadsheet functions are automated through the use of push-button macros, making spreadsheet operation as simple as possible.
