'Don't keep asking when I'm coming back, David. I'm only away because your father said he'd kill me.' When he was twelve, David Cohen was left by his parents, though he'd only been three years in England. He knew he'd be put in an orphanage if anyone found out. So he made sure no one did. His posh school, St Paul's, never realised his parents had left him. For weeks David cried himself to sleep and asked God why He had done this to a nice boy who passed all his exams and was a good left arm spin bowler. But David had the sense to turn up at school every day, to get his uniform cleaned and to say nothing to anyone. Only the local dry cleaner suspected something was wrong - he never charged David a penny. This is the astonishing true story of a boys journey from boy to man, with little help from his parents save for Friday dinner with his Father in a restaurant where he was given money for the week ahead. Being abandoned is painful and tragic but David's story becomes comic as he fends off randy men who want to show him their telescopes, writes absentee notes to skive off school and falls hopelessly in lust with a Finnish au pair girl.His school suspects nothing as he produces decent essays on the usual suspects - Luther, Henry VIII and whether King Lear was madder than Hamlet. Painful but written with humour, this is the real story of being home alone - the ups and the downs, from learning to cook to the first kiss. David Cohen is the author The Escape of Sigmund Freud also by JR Books, and the best-selling Diana: Death of a Goddess.

Magisch door het leven – William Whitecloud oktober 2010Een fascinerend verhaal dat moeilijk weg te leggen is en de lezer nog lang bijblijft. Het is een verhaal met de betovering van een sprookje, de spanning van een thriller en de lessen van een eerste klas managementboek. Mark Vale probeert zich overeind te houden in de financiële wereld en in zijn gezin. Hij gaat terug naar de stad waar hij vroeger werkte. Daar neemt zijn leven een adembenemende wending. Een bijzondere golfles zet de toon voor een snelle reeks gebeurtenissen en ontmoetingen die hem steeds dichter bij zijn doel brengen. Hij komt in contact met een wel heel bijzondere handelaar op de beurs, uiterst zwoele serveersters in een trendy restaurant voor macho’s, een indrukwekkende miljardair en anderen die hem op ontnuchterende, schokkende en overtuigende manieren leren vertrouwen op wat hij in zijn hart aanvoelt. Dat geeft hem uiteindelijk de kracht om magisch door het leven te gaan en zijn problemen aan te pakken. In het verhaal opgenomen: de zeven magische geheimen. William Whitecloud groeide op in Afrika en woont tegenwoordig in Byron Bay in Australië. Hij is oprichter van Living from Greatness, een programma waarmee hij mensen coacht in vaak langdurig verband. Hij is onder meer geïnspireerd door Robert Fritz (van ‘De weg van de minste weerstand’). Magisch door het leven is zijn eerste boek. ‘Magisch door het leven is een uitzonderlijk goed boek.

William K Jones reviews the seminal US Supreme Court decisions that restrict the First Amendment in order to protect persons against defamatory falsehoods, invasions of privacy, and related psychic harm. Covering cases ranging from a restaurant owner driven out of business over a veal chop to a University of Georgia football coach accused of sharing plays with an opponent before a game, Jones examines the many subtleties of the law, its interpretation, and its restrictions. Although the author concludes that the accommodations struck by the courts are appropriate, he nevertheless argues that there are serious deficiencies in the complex legal edifice that has been erected. After reviewing the relevant cases, Jones recommends a comprehensive new framework for dealing with the problem of defamatory falsehoods -- a framework designed to afford greater protection for expressions on public issues while also providing more meaningful relief to the victims of harmful speech.With material covering the impact of the internet and related electronic means of expression, Insult to Injury is sure to be of interest to current practitioners in the media bar, law students, and journalism students alike.

This concise history of the Chinese in Minnesota examines the rich history of this ethnic group including immigration patterns, cultural and social organisations, businesses, politics, education, and family life. Minnesota's first Chinese settlers, fleeing racial violence in California, established scores of small businesses after they arrived in the late 1870s. Newspapers eagerly published reports of the small Chinese community's activities, including New Year's festivities, marriages, and restaurant openings -- as well as allegations of tong activity and of their political ties to China. Beginning in 1882 federal laws stopping Chinese immigration and denying citizenship put particular pressure on the community, which was also accused of resisting Americanisation. By the 1960s, a new wave of immigrants, including students, businessmen, and professionals from both Mainland China and Taiwan, began to bring new energy and issues to the state's Chinese community.

'Overal heengaan en dan rondkijken', zo omschrijft Aaf Brandt Corstius haar werk als columniste. Ze observeert te hippe vaders met jonge zoontjes in een restaurant, is gefascineerd door de Supersmoker en vraagt zich af waarom vrouwen Sarah Jessica Parker mooier vinden dan mannen. Deze Amsterdamse dertiger heeft overal een mening over. Zo maakt ze genadeloos korte metten met ordinaire Uri Geller-navolgers, conservatief Nederland en de Stout-beweging van Heleen van Royen. Als Aaf niet toegeeft aan bankhangen in haar grote-mensenhuis of haar CoffeeCompany-verslaving, bezoekt ze voor haar columns openingen, evenementen, herdenkingen en lanceringen in het hele land, waarbij vaak Bekende Nederlanders aanwezig zijn ('als je de B-categorie gaat herkennen, moet je op vakantie'). Met een fijne dosis zelfspot fileert Aaf Brandt Corstius in Dan ook maar meteen een jurk aan de Nederlandse samenleving en haar eigen leven. Een bundel voor de duizenden nrc.next-lezers die dagelijks pagina 2 van hun krant openslaan om als eerste haar column te lezen. Voor degenen die deze eigentijdse, frivole columniste nog niet kennen, is dit boek een vermakelijke eerste kennismaking.
