<p><strong>The true story behind Crispus Attucks High School and the all-Black basketball team loosely depicted as the championship opponent in the beloved classic sports movie <em>Hoosiers</em>.</strong></p> <p>For far too long the mythology of Indiana basketball has been dominated by <em>Hoosiers</em>. Framed as the ultimate underdog, feel-good story, there has also long been a cultural debate surrounding the film. The Real Hoosiers sets out to illuminate the narrative that the film omits, the story of the unheralded Crispus Attucks Tigers, playing the game at the highest level in the 1950s in a racially divided Indiana.</p> <p>After a crushing loss to Milan High School in the 1954 semifinal, which was the game that the final scenes in <em>Hoosiers</em> are based on, Attucks went on to win back-to-back Indiana state championships. That team was led by a young Oscar Robertson and coached by Ray Crowe, who fully recognized the seemingly insurmountable challenges of playing basketball in a state that was a bastion for not only the game but also the Ku Klux Klan.</p> <p>Veteran sportswriter and the bestselling author of <em>Dream Team</em>, Jack McCallum, pulls back the curtain on that history, which is rich, far beyond the basketball court. <em>The Real Hoosiers</em> replaces a lacuna in the history of Indiana while dissecting the myths and lore of <em>Hoosier</em> hoops; placing the game in the context of migration, segregation, and integration; and enhancing our understanding of this country’s struggle for civil rights.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 The Real Hoosiers Crispus Attucks High School, Oscar Robertson, and the Hidden History of Hoops【電子書籍】[ Jack McCallum ] 1,709 円

<p><strong>In a small seaside town, autumn is edging into winter, gulls ride winds over the waves, and two women pass each other on the promenade, as yet unaware of each other's existence.</strong></p> <p>In the nineties Lydia was a teen pop star, posed half naked on billboards everywhere with a lollipop between her lips and no idea how to live, letting the world happen to her. Now, three decades later, Lydia is less and less sure that what happened to her was in the least bit okay. The news cycle runs hot with #MeToo stories, and a famous former lover has emerged with a self-serving apology, asking her to forgive him. Suddenly, the past is full of trapdoors she is desperately trying not to fall through.</p> <p>Joyce, in middle age, has never left home. She still lives with her mother Betty. With their matching dresses, identical hairdos and makeup, they are the local oddballs. Theirs is a life of unerring routine: the shops, biscuits served on bone china plates, dressing up for a gin and tonic on Saturday. <em>Nice</em> things. One misstep from Joyce can ruin Betty's day; so Joyce treads carefully. She has never let herself think about a different kind of life. But recently, along with the hot flushes, something like anger is asserting itself, like a caged thing realising it should probably try and escape.</p> <p>Amid the grey skies, amusement parks and beauty parlours of a gentrifying run-down seaside resort, these two women might never meet. But as they both try to untangle the damaging details of their past in the hope of a better future, their lives are set on an unlikely collision course.</p> <p>With mordant wit and lyrical prose, <em>Birding</em> asks if we can ever see ourselves clearly or if we are always the unreliable narrators of our own experiences. It is a story about the difference between responsibility and obligation, unhealthy relationships and abusive ones, third acts and last chances, and two women trying to take flight on clipped wings.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 Birding【電子書籍】[ Rose Ruane ] 2,670 円

<p>(499XE) Bount hatte seinem Bekannten die Kawasaki zur?ckgegeben. Um halb neun morgens bog er mit June im 450 SEL in die Fletcher Street ein. Hier standen in der N?he der Docks h?ssliche Mietskasernen. Im Hintergrund sah man Dockkrans bei den Piers aufragen. Die Stra?e war dreckig. Das Haus, in dem Beamster Unterschlupf gefunden hatte, war, wie von dem Silberk?pfchen im Zero Club erw?hnt, tats?chlich nicht zu verfehlen. Es geh?rte zu einer H?userzeile. Fahnen und mit Spruchparolen versehene Bettt?cher hingen aus den Fenstern. Die W?nde waren mit Parolen bespr?ht. Bount hielt ein St?ck vor dem Haus. ≫June, wir bleiben ?ber Funk in Verbindung. Wenn es in dem Haus Krach gibt und du der Meinung bist, dass ich in Schwierigkeiten stecke, ruf das ?berfallkommando. Klar?≪ ≫Nat?rlich, Chef.≪ June himmelte Bount an. ≫Du wagst dich wirklich allein hinein und willst Beamster herausholen?≪ ≫Sicher. Die politische Einstellung der Leute in diesem Haus ist deren Angelegenheit. Beamster ist ein Gangster. Deshalb will ich ihn holen. Ich denke, wenn es mir gelingt, den Hausbesetzern das zu erkl?ren, kann nichts schief gehen.≪ ≫Deinen Optimismus m?chte ich haben.≪ ≫Dem Mutigen geh?rt die Welt≪, sagte Bount. ≫Wird schon schief gehen, June.≪ Diesmal hatte Bount keine Kampfausr?stung wie in der vergangenen Nacht in der Bronx.

<p><strong>“A compelling new biography… [<em>The Greatest Capitalist Who Ever Lived</em>] spins the Watsons into near-Shakespearean figures, as if ‘Succession’ were set in the era of ‘Mad Men’.”</strong> ー<strong><em>The New York Times Book Review</em> Editors' Choice</strong></p> <p><strong>The enduring story of Thomas Watson Jr.ーa figure more important to the creation of the modern world than Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and Morgan.</strong></p> <p>Nearly fifty years into IBM’s existence, Thomas Watson Jr. undertook the biggest gamble in business history when he “bet the farm” on the creation of the IBM System/360, the world’s first fully integrated and compatible mainframe computer. As CEO, Watson drove a revolution no other companyーthen or nowーwould dare, laying the foundation for the digital age that has transformed every society, corporation, and government.</p> <p>The story of Watson being “present at the creation” of the digital age is intertwined with near-Shakespearean personal drama. While he put IBM and its employees at risk, Watson also carried out a family-shattering battle over the future of the company with his brother Dick. This titanic struggle between brothers led to Dick’s death and almost killed Watson Jr. himself.</p> <p>Though he was eventually touted by <em>Fortune</em> magazine as “the greatest capitalist who ever lived,” Watson’s directionless, playboy early years made him an unlikely candidate for corporate titan. How he pulled his life together and, despite personal demons, paved the way for what became a global industry is an epic tale full of drama, inspiration, and valuable lessons in leadership, risk-taking, and social responsibility.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 The Greatest Capitalist Who Ever Lived Tom Watson Jr. and the Epic Story of How IBM Created the Digital Age【電子書籍】[ Ralph Watson McElvenny ] 2,030 円

<p><strong>A riveting tell-all biography that delves into the extraordinary life of Hollywood’s most infamous private detective and “fixer” to the stars, revealing newly discovered shocking revelations from his never-before-seen investigative files.</strong></p> <p>During the height of Hollywood’s golden age, one man lorded over the city’s lurid underbelly of forbidden sin and celebrity scandal like no other: Fred Otash. An ex-Marine turned L.A.P.D. vice cop, Otash became the most sought-after private detective and fixer to the stars by specializing in the dark arts that would soon dominate the entertainment industry.</p> <p>Otash was notorious for bugging the homes, offices, and playpens of movie stars, kingmakers, and powerful politicians, employing then state-of-the-art methods of electronic surveillance and wiretapping for a who’s who list of clients for whom he’d do “anything short of murder.” He lied to federal authorities to protect Frank Sinatra from criminal liability; recorded Rock Hudson’s coming out confession to his estranged wife; moved in with Judy Garland to help her get sober; taped President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s tragic love affairs with the greatest sex symbol of all time, and he listened to Marilyn Monroe die.</p> <p>Based on Otash’s never-before-seen investigative files and personal archives, THE FIXER takes readers inside the sensational and nefarious world of the man whose art imitating life inspired the private eye characters portrayed by Jack Nicholson in <em>Chinatown</em> and Russell Crowe in <em>LA Confidential.</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 The Fixer Moguls, Mobsters, Movie Stars, and Marilyn【電子書籍】[ Josh Young ] 1,816 円

<p><strong>'Infinitely more readable than the average journalism memoir, and decidedly more important.' - <em>Sathnam Sanghera, The Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>'S</em>o engaging. You feel as if he is talking to you, sharing ideas and thoughts, as if you were a friend.'</strong> <strong>- <em>Yasmin Ahlibai-Brown</em></strong></p> <p>As a Bolton teenager with a paper round, Clive Myrie read all the newspapers he delivered from cover to cover and dreamed of becoming a journalist. In this deeply personal memoir, he tells how his family history has influenced his view of the world, introducing us to his Windrush generation parents, a great grandfather who helped build the Panama Canal, and a great uncle who fought in the First World War, later to become a prominent police detective in Jamaica.</p> <p>He reflects on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he's encountered in thirty years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time (most recently from Ukraine), showing us how those experiences gave him a better idea of what it means to be an outsider. He tells of his pride in his roots, but his determination not to be defined by his background in dealing with the challenges of race and class to succeed at the highest level.</p> <p>Moving, engaging, revealing, <em>Everything is Everything</em> is a story of love and hate - but also hope.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 Everything is Everything The Top 10 Bestseller【電子書籍】[ Clive Myrie ] 2,990 円

<p><strong>From the depths of the '70s rock 'n' roll excesses through unimaginable personal losses to an inspiring late-life transformation, Cidny Bullens's story is an utterly compelling journey about living and singing with your authentic voice.</strong></p> <p>An androgynous gender-bending musician from the get-go, Bullens toured extensively with Sir Elton John and performed with Bob Dylan, undergoing a complete immersion in the drug-fueled excesses of 1970s rock 'n' roll. Despite getting sober, climbing the charts with the Grammy-nominated <em>Survivor</em>, as well as a Grammy nomination for his lead vocals in the soundtrack for the movie <em>Grease</em>, Bullens was unable to break out as a solo star in a world that allowed its artists to cross the gender line, but had much more narrow expectations about how women could behave and perform.</p> <p>Retreating into the conventional lifestyle of a suburban mom, Bullens felt like she was living in an alternate universe. Then whatever world she had was shattered by the tragic death of her younger daughter from cancer. Out of the ashes of despair, Bullens brought forth an award-winning album, <em>Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth</em>, that relaunched the musician's career.</p> <p>Finally, nine years ago, Cidny claimed his own healing and transitioned from female to maleーfinding unexpected love, becoming a new stepfather and a grandfather.</p> <p><strong>What he found, too, was his true voice and true power as a performer.</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 TransElectric My Life as a Cosmic Rock Star【電子書籍】[ Cidny Bullens ] 1,474 円

<h3>The funniest, wildest and most original debut novel of 2024</h3> <p><strong>'Gobby, barbed and garrulous' Eley Williams</strong></p> <p>**'Truly original' <em>Nicola Dinan, author of Bellies</em></p> <p>'Genuinely hilarious' Keiran Goddard, author of <em>Hourglass</em>**</p> <p>It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house - which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider ...</p> <p>This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of NATWEST, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. And yet it's also the story of a MIDDLE-AGED DENTIST who dreams of being a respected artist - but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a TORTURED IMAM involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an OCTOGENARIAN mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a TROUBLED TEENAGER whose nudes have leaked on the internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious EX-BOYFRIEND, and his CLASS-TRAITOR MOTHER and <em>her</em> CHILDHOOD BOYFRIEND, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past.</p> <p>Alternating between Natwest's idiosyncratic inner world and the perspectives of the other characters - and dazzling in its energy, imagination and originality - this is an outrageously funny and tenderly moving story about being connected to everyone and everything at all times; about love, friendship, and the lies we tell ourselves; about unhappy endings, happy endings - and whether anything really is as simple as one or the other.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 How to Leave the House【電子書籍】[ Nathan Newman ] 2,349 円

Having barely been outside for 50 years, the elusive Clark spoke to few--in this highly unreliable, semi-fictional miniature epic, the dolls tell all.</p> <p>Theirs is a tale that takes us from their lavish Park Avenue home back in time to the slave plantations of Virginia and the palaces of Imperial Japan via the addictive hedonism of 1930s queer LA.</p> <p><strong>Joyfully irreverent, <em>Top Doll</em> is a story of love, betrayal, Barbies and ultimately, what it means to be human.</strong></p> <p>'An <strong>astonishing combination of depth, compassion and beauty</strong>.

<p>Mihir Bose, born in Kolkata shortly before Indian independence in 1947, still feels an enormous debt of gratitude to Mr Crombie, the UK Home Office official who fulfilled his dreams of settling in Britain. Having studied there in the 1960s before heading back to India under parental pressure, he later returned to London. Shiva Naipaul, doubting that Bose could become a writer, mocked him for reembracing the colonial lash--but Bose would prove him wrong.</p> <p>This absorbing memoir shows how Britain has changed dramatically for the better since the '60s. Then, Indian food was shunned, not adored; landladies wouldn't rent Bose a room; white women would not have relationships, because they wanted white babies; and he suffered several assaults, fearing for his life.</p> <p>In those early days, Bose could not imagine that the British would take such enormous strides towards multi-racial harmony. While this extraordinary transformation has reinforced his faith in the nation's capacity for change, Britain's complex, at times deeply shameful, imperial legacy must still be addressed. India has been proving its doubters wrong, and striving to come to terms with its tortured past. Can twenty-first-century Britain, too, grow once again, and earn the gratitude of future generations?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 Thank You Mr Crombie【電子書籍】[ Mihir Bose ] 2,723 円
