[German] - Man kann nie wissen. Tom Selleck – Die Autobiografie: Magnum, Ein Colt für alle Fälle, Fr
TOM SELLECK ist ein preisgekrönter Schauspieler, Autor und Produzent, bekannt vor allem für seine ikonische Rolle als Thomas Magnum in der ursprünglichen Fernsehserie Magnum P.I. Zu den vielen unvergesslichen Rollen, die er gespielt hat, gehören Lance White in Detektiv Rockford, Peter Mitchell in Noch drei Männer, noch ein Baby, Matthew Quigley in Quigley der Australier und Peter Malloy in In & Out. Er begeisterte als Dr. Richard Burke, Monicas älterer Freund in Friends, und hat mit seiner Darstellung von NYPD-Polizeichef Frank Reagan in der äußerst erfolgreichen Krimiserie Blue Bloods - Crime Scene New York eine völlig neue Generation von Fans für sich gewonnen. IN HOLLYWOOD IST ES NIE LEICHT ... und schon gar nicht, wenn man sich nicht verbiegen lassen will. Tom Selleck wurde aber eben dadurch, dass er darauf beharrte, er selbst zu sein, eine Ikone Amerikas und einer der beliebtesten Hauptdarsteller der Welt. In Man kann nie wissen erzählt er ganz offen von den Ereignissen und Zufällen, die ihn zum Ruhm geführt haben, angefangen bei seiner wilden Kindheit in Kalifornien und seiner Zeit als lebenslustiger College-Sportler. Seine unwahrscheinliche Hollywood-Karriere erhielt dann durch seine Teilnahme an The Dating Game und eine aufkeimende Freundschaft mit dem legendären Filmstar Mae West Auftrieb. In der Rückschau berichtet Selleck von seinen persönlichen Freundschaften mit einer ganzen Reihe von Stars - von Frank Sinatra über Carol Burnett bis zu Sam Elliott - und zollt dabei seinem Mentor James Garner (Detektiv Rockford) besondere Anerkennung. Als er die Hauptrolle in Magnum P.I. erhielt, wurde er selbst zu einem richtigen Superstar. Selleck gibt aber nicht nur Erinnerungen wieder, sondern erklärt auch, wie er sein Privat- und Berufsleben miteinander vereinbarte, indem er Letzteres wiederholt darauf abstimmte, dass seine Familie ihre Privatsphäre und ein Gefühl von Normalität genießen konnte, selbst auf die Gefahr hin, auf dem Höhepunkt seines Erfolges alles zu verlieren. Sein Werdegang gewährt einen wohltuend frischen Blick auf eine Branche und eine Welt im Wandel. Man kann nie wissen ist aufrichtig, humorvoll und offenherzig, das intime Memoir eines der berühmtesten Schauspieler unserer Zeit, die zutiefst persönliche Geschichte von Tom Sellecks bemerkenswertem Leben, seinem Charisma als Hauptdarsteller und seiner jahrzehntelangen Karriere. In einem einzigartig unprätentiösen, einnehmenden Stil gehalten, erzählt das Buch von einer amerikanischen Legende, die bemerkenswert weit gekommen ist, indem sie immer darauf bestand, sie selbst zu bleiben!

Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III. While one corporation after another exported their manufacturing to high-volume factories in low-wage locations overseas, Bassett's traditional wood bedroom furniture manufacturing company has not only survived, but thrived, making premium products right here in America. When everyone else was rushing for the exits, Bassett bet on the talent, dedication, and uncompromising quality of American workmanship. And he won. In Making It in America, Bassett tells you the secrets that have made Vaughan-Bassett Furniture so successful doing what everyone said couldn't be done. Drawing on rich life experience, including the everyday challenges running a traditional manufacturing company, Bassett constructs a 12-point plan to achieve successful leadership in any business. These steps include: Have a winning attitude, respect your employees, don't panic, reinvest constantly, and make the best of the worst. Bassett's story is about how those values underpinned his personal success and how they can revitalize America itself. In the face of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett's story is a blueprint for how America can revitalize its role as leader of the free world and how your success can be part of it.

In 2008, almost two decades after the Cold War was officially consigned to the history books, an average American guy helped to bring down a top Russian spy based at the United Nations. He had no formal espionage training. Everything he knew about spying he'd learned from books, films, video games and TV. And yet, he ended up at the centre of a highly successful counterintelligence operation that targeted Russian espionage in America.

How to Catch a Russian Spy: The True Story of an American Civilian Turned Self-taught Double Agent
The fascinating story of a young American amateur who helped the FBI bust a Russian spy in New York-sold in ten countries and in a major deal to 20th Century Fox.For three nerve-wracking years, Naveed Jamali spied on America for the Russians, trading thumb drives of sensitive technical data for envelopes of cash, selling out his own beloved country across noisy restaurant tables and in quiet parking lots. Or so the Russians believed. In fact, this young American civilian was a covert double agent working with the FBI. The Cold War wasn't really over. It had just gone high-tech. How to Catch a Russian Spy is the one-of-a-kind story of how one young man's post-college adventure became a real-life US counter-intelligence coup. He had no previous counter-espionage experience. Everything he knew about undercover work, he'd learned from Miami Vice and Magnum P.I. reruns and movies like Ronin, Spy Game, and anything with Bond or Bourne in the title. And yet, hoping to gain experience to become a Navy intelligence officer, he convinced the FBI and the Russians they could trust him. With charm, cunning, and a big load of naiveté, he matched wits with a veteran Russian military-intelligence officer who was recruiting spies on American soil, out-maneuvering the Russian spy and his secret-hungry superiors. Along the way, Jamali and his FBI handlers cast a rare light on espionage activities at the Russian Mission to the United Nations in New York and earned a solid US win in the escalating hostilities between Moscow and Washington. Now, Jamali reveals the whole engaging story behind his double-agent adventure-from coded signals on Craigslist to the Russian spy's propensity for Hooters' Buffalo wings. Cinematic, news-breaking, and wildly entertaining, How to Catch a Russian Spy is an armchair spy fantasy brought to life. Film rights sold to 20th Century Fox for director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer).

The Party's Over: How the Extreme Right Hijacked the GOP and I Became a Democrat
Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida, spent years in the party’s inner circle. In this no-holds-barred memoir, he shows why he switched sides and became a Democrat. After serving as a Republican governor—one who was on the short list for the vice presidency in 2008—Charlie Crist made headlines when he decided to run for the U.S. Senate as an Independent. He was on the front page again when he endorsed President Obama in 2012 and spoke at the Democratic National Convention—and yet again when he officially joined the Democratic Party later that year. In The Party’s Over, he’ll make even more news when he reveals: -The inside story of his 2010 Senate primary campaign against Marco Rubio, where he learned exactly how vicious the Republican leadership can be. -His journey from inner circle to persona non grata, thanks to his literal embrace of President Obama. -His very frank opinions on Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and other top-tier Republicans. -Why he believes that Democrats have the right vision for Florida and the nation. • What he’s learned as a member of both parties and why he remains convinced that the two-party system can still work—with the right leadership. Rather than just rehashing his career, in this book Crist offers a focused indictment of the failings of the Republican Party, naming names and identifying where things went wrong. The Party’s Over is as far from “politics as usual” as you can get.
