    • Paul Allens Ideen führten zur Gründung eines Weltkonzerns. Gemeinsam mit Bill Gates gründete er 1975 Microsoft und leitete damit die digitale Revolution ein. In seiner Autobiografie vermittelt Allen ein faszinierendes Bild dieser Aufbruchszeit und seines komplexen Verhältnisses zu Gates. Auch nach seinem Abschied von Microsoft blieb er von Pioniergeist erfüllt. Als Investor entwickelte er ein feines Gespür für technische und wirtschaftliche Trends; als Mäzen fördert er die Hirnforschung und bewahrt das Erbe von Jimi Hendrix. In diesem Werk beschreibt ein technologisches Genie, wie er zu einem der reichsten Männer der Welt wurde und stets an vorderster Front neuer Entdeckungen steht. „Dies ist die Geschichte eines unermüdlich neugierigen und fantasievollen Menschen, wie man ihn selten findet. Geradeheraus und wortgewandt berichtet er, wie er unsere Zeit für immer verändert hat.“ (Jann S. Wenner, Gründer und Verleger des Rolling Stone) Pauls Neugier führt ihn immer wieder auf unbekanntes Terrain – sei es beim Personal Computer, in der Tiefsee, im Weltraum, in der Musik, im Film oder in der Erforschung des menschlichen Gehirns. Eines ist sicher: Nichts bleibt, wie es war, und der Weg dorthin ist außergewöhnlich. (Peter Gabriel)

    • "A young man takes a summer job with a horse packer in the Sierra Nevada mountains-and receives a valuable education in the art of living-in a modern-day parable filled with love for horses, nature, and the majesty of the Sierras, based on the author's real-life experience of 40 years horse packing in the John Muir Wilderness. Pablo is 18, a young man bound for college and a promising future, but also directionless and drifting toward the gang life. Pablo's mother, remembering his childhood love of horses back home in Mexico, arranges a summer job for him with podiatrist and commercial horse packer Dr. Clyde. Pablo finds himself far from the distractions of the city, leading pack horse trains through the stunning natural beauty of the John Muir Wilderness. Along the way, Pablo receives a remarkable series of life lessons based on Dr. Clyde's 40 years' experience leading riders and hikers through the mountains. The guests that Clyde and Pablo encounter present many different models of how to live, both positive and negative, from arrogant know-it-all tourists to experienced and respectful outdoorsmen. As Dr. Clyde says, "You'll find in this world, Pablo, that some people make very poor decisions. Sometimes it adversely affects others and sometimes it negatively affects themselves big-time." Pablo and the reader learn that self-reliance, preparedness, and taking responsibility for one's own safety help develop a confident and responsible adult. With lyrical descriptions of the natural splendor of the mountains and charming line drawings of horses and scenery, Life Lessons on the Sierra Trail is a celebration of the outdoor life and how it builds character"-- Provided by publisher

    • In From Honey With Love, Honey—a swamp dog living in the wild—tells her own harrowing story in a charming southern voice. Barely a year old, her high-stakes drama begins when she gets trapped and nearly shot. Convinced that she’s a coyote or a “ditch dog,” trappers want to wipe out her breed, perhaps the oldest in North America. But Honey gets rescued by Miss Jane and taken to Banbury Cross Farm, where she rescues and raises Honey’s breed—the Carolina Dog or American Dingo. At the farm, Honey quickly bonds with Mr. Billy, the Field Master for fox hunters, and Ace, the farm manager. They quickly bond as a pack, like the one Honey left in the swamp. Honey’s quickness causes Ace, Miss Jane, and Mr. Billy to train her to become an agility champion. How she runs the race of her life, and how the killers in the swamp get caught, lives in legend. Along the way, Honey learns a lesson she’ll never forget: the strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf.
