1000 tulosta hakusanalla Will Cook
Dylan is a 7th grader at a suburban middle school. He is friendly with some of the more popular kids there, but doesn't like the way they treat others, especially his awkward next-door neighbor. His unease builds as time drags on, forcing him to decide what kind of person he is.
It is 1941, and Antwerp is in the grip of Nazi occupation. Young policeman Wilfried Wils has no intention of being a hero - but war has a way of catching up with people. When his idealistic best friend draws him into the growing resistance movement, and an SS commander tries to force him into collaborating, Wilfried's loyalties become horribly, fatally torn. As the beatings, destruction and round-ups intensify across the city, he is forced into an act that will have consequences he could never have imagined. A searing portrayal of a man trying to survive amid the treachery, compromises and moral darkness of occupation, Will asks what any of us would risk to fight evil.
A tense, thrilling, morally murky read, set in Nazi-occupied Antwerp and inspired by the author's own family history of collaboration during WW2
Will is Shane Neilson’s debut collection of short fiction. The book ranges from straightforward East Coast depictions of alcoholism and frustrated farming told in dense, lyric prose, to experimental works that play overtly with language and form. In Will, a boy is beaten by his father; another father cares for his epileptic son; an anesthetist addicted to sevoflurane ponders the works of Michael Jackson; Vladimir Nabokov takes a writer-in-residence position at Memorial University of Newfoundland; and World War I poet John McCrae dies. And yes, there is a hockey story. Individual stories have appeared widely in magazines including Queen’s Quarterly, The Malahat Review, Fiddlehead, Geist, and The Canadian Medical Association Journal, among others.
Will and his friend are risking their lives and have escaped the plantation. They are on the run; but before Will took off, the old conjure woman warned him, "Evil spirits creeps 'round at night, and tricky spirits kin hex people--even da smart ones likes you."Evil spirits are not the only problem; slave hunters, patrollers, and a mercenary detective are all after Will and Tom, and his childhood companion, Teeny. Luckily, the three friends encounter a group of abolitionists--a lawyer, a riverboat captain, a businessman, and a wealthy heiress--who want nothing more than to help them escape to freedom. But slaves are valuable property, and owners will go to any lengths to get them back.What transpires for these three slaves borders on the implausible, but is rooted in historical fact. They all flee in different directions and make their way north by steamboat on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. This harrowing journey involves wearing disguises, finding new love, and risking a fortune in a poker game. But the real gamble is a slave betting he can escape and be free...he pays the ultimate price if he loses.

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller "It's the best memoir I've ever read." --Oprah Winfrey "Will Smith isn't holding back in his bravely inspiring new memoir . . . An ultimately heartwarming read, Will provides a humane glimpse of the man behind the actor, producer and musician, as he bares all his insecurities and trauma." --USA Today Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Achievement One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had. Will Smith's transformation from a West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale--but it's only half the story. Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over. This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.
Overraskende og ærlig fra en av verdens mest kjente skuespillere. Da Will Smith var 12 år gammel, fikk faren ham til å bygge en mur. Det føltes som en umulig oppgave, men hvis han tenkte for mye på det, ble han bare nedtrykt. Han lærte seg å fokusere på en murstein av gangen, og stablet dem så godt han kunne. En dag var veggen ferdig. Lærdommen har han tatt med seg inn i alle utfordringer han senere har møtt i sin karriere. I boka, som er skrevet i samarbeid med suksessforfatter Mark Manson, forteller han overraskende ærlig om sine opp- og nedturer i livet. Den handler om oppvekst, kjærlighet, farsrolle - og om jobben som en av verdens mest kjente filmstjerner.

In this volume, photographer Reiner Riedler (born 1968) photographs machines that save lives or improve patients’ well-being--inventions such as dialysis machines, respirators and cardiac pacemakers at a hospital in Vienna. The work was inspired by Riedler’s son, who was in a neonatal intensive care unit as a newborn.
Oscaruddelingen 2022 skulle have været Will Smiths store aften, men da han uddelte en lussing til værten Chris Rock, overskyggede det alt andet. Hvordan kunne han kortslutte på så spektakulær vis? Det får man indblik i, når han fortæller, hvordan han har svigtet sine nærmeste og erkender, at succesen har haft en pris.Hans hustru og børn følte sig som statister i Wills personlige karrierecirkus, og for dem var det et slidsomt arbejde, de aldrig havde fri fra. Will havde måske nok rigdom og berømmelse, men når det kom til balancen mellem arbejdsliv og privatliv, havde han stadig meget at lære.
