    »Es ist eine gute Zeit für den Feminismus. Es ist auch eine gute Zeit fürs Nüchternsein.«Warum wir trinken, und warum wir es lassen sollten - ein autobiografisches Plädoyer für die Klarheit Seit Jahren geht der Alkoholkonsum hierzulande zurück, doch bei einer Gruppe steigt er: Bei jener der gebildeten, gut situierten Frauen ab 30. Seltsam, oder? Sind das nicht jene Frauen, die trotz Fünfzigstundenwoche noch Zeit für Sport finden, ihre Ernährung überwachen und Achtsamkeit zum Lebensmotto erkoren haben? Ja, genau die machen sich nach einem harten Arbeitstag als erstes eine Flasche Wein auf. Nicht wenige trinken sie leer.Eva Biringer gehörte jahrelang dazu. Sie trank zur Entspannung und Belohnung, um abzuschalten, sich zu trösten, zu kompensieren und zu funktionieren - um Erwartungen gerecht zu werden und um vieles nicht spüren zu müssen. Mehr als einmal wachte sie morgens ohne Erinnerung auf.Anhand ihrer eigenen Geschichte möchte sie sensibilisieren: Für die Gründe, die immer mehr Frauen viel zu oft zur Flasche greifen lassen und für eine Gesellschaft, die nicht sehen will, was sie dazu treibt. Mit messerscharfem Verstand seziert sie ihr eigenes Suchtverhalten - eines, das in uns allen steckt - beleuchtet Literatur, Studien und Statistiken rund um das Thema Alkohol und erzählt, warum es sich lohnt, sich für ein Leben in Klarheit zu entscheiden. »Alkohol betäubt und beraubt uns unserer natürlichen Gefühle und verstärkt zugleich andere Emotionen, allen voran Angst und Depression. Wir trinken, um Unangenehmes zu vergessen, gleichzeitig aber auch, um überhaupt etwas zu spüren. Es gab Zeiten, in denen ich nur weinen konnte, wenn ich betrunken war. Verkatert schämte ich mich dafür umso mehr, das Klischee der leidenden Frau so musterschülerinnenmäßig erfüllt zu haben. Ich nahm es mit Humor und einem sarkastischen Facebook-Post.«

  • von Bill O'Reilly
    36,00 €

    When Bill O'Reilly interviewed then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, the two had a lively debate about the nation's future. Since that time, America has changed rapidly—some would even say seismically. And many believe these shifts are doing more than just rocking the political and social climate; they're rocking the American core.What are these changes? Who, in addition to President Obama, have been the biggest forces behind them? What exactly do they mean for you, the everyday American citizen? How are they affecting your money, health, safety, freedom, and standing in this nation? Which are Pinheaded moves and which are truly Patriotic? In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the President and the American people on the current state of the union. After five consecutive, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is megabestsellers, you can count on Bill to offer blunt and constructive political commentary. And as he did in his popular memoir, he offers some introspection too, looking back at his own actions and those of past Pinheads and Patriots who have inspired a code of conduct for such taxing times.As always, O'Reilly is fair, balanced, and uncompromisingly tough when guarding the American way. Only Pinheads would fail to fight for what they love most about this country or to embrace some measure of change to make it better. The rest of us Patriots will read this book to discover the difference between the two.

    "I want my wines to tell a good story. I want them natural and most of all, like my dear friends, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue,? says Alice Feiring. Join her as she sets off on her one-woman crusade against the tyranny of homogenization, wine consultants, and, of course, the 100-point scoring system of a certain all-powerful wine writer. Traveling through the ancient vineyards of the Loire and Champagne, to Piedmont and Spain, she goes in search of authentic barolo, the last old-style rioja, and the tastiest new terroir-driven champagnes. She reveals just what goes into the average bottle?the reverse osmosis, the yeasts and enzymes, the sawdust and oak chips?and why she doesn't find much to drink in California. And she introduces rebel winemakers who are embracing old-fashioned techniques and making wines with individuality and soul. No matter what your palate, travel the wine world with Feiring and you'll have to ask yourself: What do i really want in my glass?

    The ultimate Eighties heart-throb Jason Donovan came close to destroying his body, mind, soul and career with drugs. Never one to shy away from the truth, Jason writes candidly about Kylie and winning the battle with his demons in the paperback of his bestselling bombshell autobiography. Jason Donovan burst onto our TVs in the 80s as Scott Robinson from Neighbours, one half of TV couple Scott and Charlene with Kylie Minogue. Kylie and Jason became the celebrity couple of the eighties and released the number one Stock, Aitken and Waterman hit Especially For You in 1988. But behind the squeaky-clean popstar image was a man increasingly addicted to recreational drugs and on a spiralling downwards path until the love of a good woman pulled him through. His pop career launched, Jason went on to sell over 30 million records worldwide and appeared in West End musicals such as Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat and, more recently, The Rocky Horror Show. But just as Jason reached the pinnacle of his career, everything collapsed around him. When Jason sued style magazine The Face for calling him gay, the press tore him apart. Years of binge drug taking and partying to excess followed. In his frank and honest account of his life, Jason talks candidly about the drugs that nearly saw the end of his career, about his relationship with the princess of pop, Kylie Minogue, and how he finally got his own very happy ending with the woman who saved him, his partner Angela and their two children.

    Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and he taught them how to kill it. Sam and Dean have hit New York City to check out a local rocker's haunted house. But before they can figure out why a lovesick banshee in an '80s heavy-metal T-shirt is wailing in the bedroom, a far more macabre crime catches their attention. Not far from the house, two university students were beaten to death by a strange assailant. A murder that's bizarre even by New York City standards, it's the latest in a line of killings that the brothers soon suspect are based on the creepy stories of legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe. Their investigation leads them to the center of one of Poe's horror classics, face-to-face with their most terrifying foe yet. And if Sam and Dean don't rewrite the ending of this chilling tale, a grisly serial killer will end their lives forevermore.
