Since the premiere of Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV) in 1977, our world has been made richer by the adventures of rebels long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Creator George Lucas turned his modest sci-fi film into a sprawling media empire, one glowing with a constellation of movie prequels, sequels and spinoffs, and now acclaimed animated and live-action television series. From Star Wars: The Clone Wars to 2023's Ahsoka, The Unofficial Fan Guide to The Wide World of Star Wars dives into the small-screen achievements of the Star Wars universe with behind-the-scenes details, recommended viewing and a preview of what's ahead.
Batman seems to have it all-unlimited funds, state-of-the-art technology, a faithful butler and a kid sidekick he can always count on when the chips were down, along with a secret underground headquarters and the coolest car on the planet. Aside from his bummer of a backstory, who wouldn't want to be Batman? And therein lies another major reason for his enduring appeal. The Batman concept has proven to be remarkably flexible, allowing him to change and grow with the world around him and to easily be adapted to a wide range of entertainment forms-from comic books to television to blockbuster movies. From his debut in 1939 to this very day, we have seen Batman become whatever we needed him to be-a dark avenger, a cheerful parental figure, a science-fiction adventurer, or even a source of comedy. Very different takes but all valid depictions of the same character, keeping audiences coming back for 85 years and counting. This is the story of Batman.
Of all the bands that emerged out of New York's burgeoning music scene in the 1970s, none capture the anything-goes ethos quite as well as Blondie. Led by the stylish, magnetic and effortlessly cool Debbie Harry - and featuring the driving core of guitarist Chris Stein and drummer Clem Burke - Blondie fused cabaret, rock, hip-hop and world music into their sound and managed to make it edgy and popular at the same time. From creative covers of songs such as "Hanging on the Telephone" and "The Tide is High" to now-classic hit singles such as "One Way or Another," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture" and "Call Me," Blondie has remained embedded in the soundtracks of our lives. As the band prepares for their 50th anniversary in 2024, The Unofficial Story of Blondie looks back on their legacy of innovation and influence - plus the personal dramas that have made their history so messy and magnificent - with fabulous photos and a countdown of the songs you're going to want to add to your playlist right away.

The core of the Star Wars saga is an age-old tale: The battle between good and evil. It's seen in Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, the rebels vs. the Empire, and Rey vs. Kylo Ren. But the real battle, according to Star Wars creator George Lucas, is much more personal. It's the struggle of good vs. evil that's waged inside every character in the galaxy. Almost everyone in Star Wars walks a tightrope on the journey of self-discovery, battling themselves as they battle opposing forces, attempting to figure out who they really are. This is the essence of Star Wars: There is self-interest and there is selfishness. There is compassion and there is mercilessness. There is good and there is evil. The fight between those opposing forces makes for a fascinating journey. And the struggle is real.

Can ordinary people really see the future, remotely influence the minds of others, or tell whether a person in a photograph is alive or dead? Remarkably, recent studies have provided evidence that all of these and other psychic powers may in fact be real: not just for the lucky few, but for ordinary people like you. We explore the exciting potential for precognition, ESP, and other strange powers like telekinesis (the ability to move objects with the mind): examining the evidence, sifting through the arguments, weeding out the frauds and the badly-designed studies, and presenting the current state of understanding-including how to access these powers, if they're real, in your own life.

Happy Days premiered on ABC as a mid-season replacement series in January 1974, when the Watergate investigation was in full swing and Americans were still recovering from the trauma of the Vietnam war. Set in 1950s Milwaukee, the warm-hearted comedy, created by Garry Marshall, provided a much-needed antidote to the roiling real-life concerns of everyday Americans, taking us back to a simpler time, and it remains a fan favorite to this day. Introducing the tight-knit Cunningham family-parents Howard and Marion, their kids Richie and Joanie, and Richie's extended circle of friends-viewers embraced the show and its stars, especially once Henry Winkler's soon-to-be iconic cool guy, Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, zoomed into the spotlight on his motorbike. In this special commemorative issue to mark the sit-com's 50th anniversary, we look back at how the series came together, relive magical moments with Ron Howard, Marion Ross and others-including the fashion, music and that famed jump-the-shark episode-delve into the spinoffs (Laverne und Shirley! Mork und Mindy!), our favorite perfectamundo sayings, and other nostalgic series. Happy Days are here again! Ayyy!

- THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, AND OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD GLOBALLY - This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity. This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before. In the Daily Mail's 'TOP READS OF 2023: Books that will help you feel better for longer' 'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics 'Highlighters at the ready. This is jam packed with things you will wish you had known before. I devoured the audiobook and instantly bought a hard copy to keep on my desk' - Dr Julie Smith, bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before Outlive has sold over 1 million copies globally [Nielsen BookScan UK and Circana BookScan US, April 2024] Instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, April 2023
Inhalt:THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ACADEMY AWARD®-WINNING MAJOR MOTION PICTURE OPPENHEIMER • "A riveting account of one of history’s most essential and paradoxical figures.”—Christopher Nolan #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • The definitive biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war, and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress. In this magisterial, acclaimed biography twenty-five years in the making, Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War. This is biography and history at its finest, riveting and deeply informative. “A masterful account of Oppenheimer’s rise and fall, set in the context of the turbulent decades of America’s own transformation. It is a tour de force.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “A work of voluminous scholarship and lucid insight, unifying its multifaceted portrait with a keen grasp of Oppenheimer’s essential nature.... It succeeds in deeply fathoming his most damaging, self-contradictory behavior.” —The New York Times Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek ISBN: 978-0-307-42473-0
Inhalt:A deep dive into the spectrum of Autistic experience and the phenomenon of masked Autism, giving individuals the tools to safely uncover their true selves while broadening society’s narrow understanding of neurodiversity “A remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.”—Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP,author of Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless “masked” Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren’t seen as needy or “odd.”
In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are. They are also more likely to be marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other factors, which contributes to their suffering and invisibility. Dr. Price lays the groundwork for unmasking and offers exercises that encourage self-expression, including: • Celebrating special interests • Cultivating Autistic relationships • Reframing Autistic stereotypes • And rediscovering your values
It’s time to honor the needs, diversity, and unique strengths of Autistic people so that they no longer have to mask—and it’s time for greater public acceptance and accommodation of difference. In embracing neurodiversity, we can all reap the rewards of nonconformity and learn to live authentically, Autistic and neurotypical people alike. *Includes a downloadable PDF of exercises, tables, lists, and a graph from the book Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek ISBN: 978-0-593-50736-0
Inhalt:National Book Critics Circle Award Winner National Bestseller Lambda Literary Award Finalist NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME * NPR * The Washington Post * Kirkus Reviews * Washington Independent Review of Books * The Millions * Electric Literature * Ms Magazine * Entropy Magazine * Largehearted Boy * Passerbuys "Irreverent and original." -New York Times "Magisterial." -The New Yorker "An intoxicating writer." -The Atlantic "A classic!" -Mary Karr "A true light in the dark." -Stephanie Danler "An essential, heartbreaking project." -Carmen Maria Machado A gripping set of stories about the forces that shape girls and the adults they become. A wise and brilliant guide to transforming the self and our society. In her powerful new book, critically acclaimed author Melissa Febos examines the narratives women are told about what it means to be female and what it takes to free oneself from them. When her body began to change at eleven years old, Febos understood immediately that her meaning to other people had changed with it. By her teens, she defined herself based on these perceptions and by the romantic relationships she threw herself into headlong. Over time, Febos increasingly questioned the stories she'd been told about herself and the habits and defenses she'd developed over years of trying to meet others' expectations. The values she and so many other women had learned in girlhood did not prioritize their personal safety, happiness, or freedom, and she set out to reframe those values and beliefs. Blending investigative reporting, memoir, and scholarship, Febos charts how she and others like her have reimagined relationships and made room for the anger, grief, power, and pleasure women have long been taught to deny. Written with Febos' characteristic precision, lyricism, and insight, Girlhood is a philosophical treatise, an anthem for women, and a searing study of the transitions into and away from girlhood, toward a chosen self.
