Disloyal: A Memoir - Cohen Michael

A #1 New York Times Bestseller! I read it cover-to-cover. I did not intend to, but I started at the beginning and didn’t put it down until it was over. —Rachel Maddow, MSNBCThis book almost didn’t see the light of day as government officials tried to bar its publication.The Inside Story of the Real President Trump, by His Former Attorney and Personal Advisor—The Man Who Helped Get Him Into the Oval Office Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried.This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump’s lawyer and “fixer,” Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump’s business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decade—not a few months or even a couple of years—could know. Cohen describes Trump’s racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether he’s exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronic fraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trump’s Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches.He shows Trump’s relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soul—a man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips off small business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country.At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic Boss and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass.The real real Donald Trump who permeates these pages—the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating President—will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come.

Revenge - Cohen Michael

When Michael Cohen s secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly - with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned - even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges. Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier s claims that he d had clandestine dealings with Russia - reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report. In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of other Trump foes such as former FBI head James Comey, Cohen details - in his inimitable blunt language, with absolutely no holds barred and naming names - his attempt to clear his name and tell the truth about Donald Trump. Chillingly, he also makes clear what happens when you try to speak truth to power, and the power knows no bounds.

Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius - Harry Freedman

Harry Freedman uncovers the spiritual traditions that lie behind Leonard Cohen s profound and unmistakable lyrics. The singer and poet Leonard Cohen was deeply learned in Judaism and Christianity, the spiritual traditions that underpinned his self-identity and the way he made sense of the world.In this book Harry Freedman, a leading author of cultural and religious history, explores the mystical and spiritual sources Cohen drew upon, discusses their original context and the stories and ideas behind them. Cohen s music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, to stories and ideas drawn from the Bible, Talmud and Kabbalah. From his 1967 classic Suzanne, through masterpieces like Hallelujah and Who by Fire, to his final challenge to the divinity, You Want It Darker he drew on spirituality for inspiration and as a tool to create understanding, clarity and beauty.Born into a prominent and scholarly Jewish family in Montreal, Canada, Cohen originally aspired to become a poet, before turning to song writing and eventually recording his own compositions. Later, he became immersed in Zen Buddhism, moving in 1990 to a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy, California where he remained for some years. He died, with immaculate timing, on the day before Donald Trump was elected in 2016, leaving behind him a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius looks deeply into the imagination of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time, providing a window on the landscape of his soul. Departing from traditional biographical approaches, Freedman explores song by song how Cohen reworked myths and prayers, legends and allegories with an index of songs at the end of the book for readers to search by their favourites. By the end the reader will be left with a powerful understanding of Cohen s story, together with a far broader insight into the mystical origins of his inimitable work.

Elektronická kniha - autor Liel Leibovitz, 216 stran V úvodu ke své knize, v originále nazvané podle jedné z Cohenových neslavnějších písní A Broken Hallelujah, Liel Leibovitz upozorňuje, že se ve skutečnosti nejedná o životopis, jako spíše o filosofické zamyšlení nad Cohenovým dílem. Základní etapy umělcova života jsou samozřejmě načrtnuty, jádrem knihy je však něco jiného. Autor pátrá po oné „nadčasovosti“ a hluboké pravdivosti, díky nimž má hudebník, spisovatel, filosof a básník L.

Čím to, že když vejde na pódium, nabitý sál ztichne a všichni čekají se zatajeným dechem? V konfrontaci s dobou se Leibovitz zabývá i dílem některých zpěváků a rockových skupin, které se v Cohenově „éře“ spolupodílely na utváření měřítek, s nimiž se Cohen musel vyrovnávat a kterým ne vždy vyhovoval.

The Essential Difference - Simon Baron-Cohen

Simon Baron-Cohen s The Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain is an unflinching look at the scientific evidence behind the innate sex differences of the mind. Men and women have always seemed to think in entirely different ways, from conversation and communication to games and gadgets. But are these differences created by society, or do our minds come ready-wired one way or another, with female brains tending towards interaction and male towards organisation? And could this mean that autism - rather than being a mental anomaly - is in fact simply an extreme male brain? Why are female brains better at empathasing? How are male brains designed to analyse systems? And what really makes men and women different? Simon Baron-Cohen explores list-making, lying and two decades of research in a ground-breaking examination of how our brains can be male or female but always completely fascinating. Compelling ... Inspiring Guardian This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion from twenty years of experiment Evening Standard A devastating contribution to the gender debate Mail on Sunday A fascinating, thought-provoking book Observer Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor at Cambridge University in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.

Plamen - Leonard Cohen

Sbírka písňových textů, básní a deníkových záznamů Leonarda Cohena nazvaná Plamen sice vyšla až po autorově smrti, na jejím uspořádání se však velký kanadský písničkář a básník výrazně podílel - do jisté míry tak lze knihu považovat za jeho umělecký testament. A testament je to vskutku velkolepý a reprezentativní, Cohen se nám tu představuje ve všech svých polohách, od meditativních, lyrických zamyšlení přes propastný smutek po poťouchle humorné pasáže či mrazivě sarkastické šlehy. Vítaným zpestřením jsou autorovy vlastní ilustrace. Kniha vychází v převodu Miroslava Jindry, cohenovského specialisty a legendy českého uměleckého překladu. Leonard Cohen je stejně velký básník jako písničkář. Guardian Zcela jedinečné; Cohenovo dílo nelze napodobit, ať se o to kdokoli snaží sebevíc. Nick Cave

From the first musical instruments to the agricultural, industrial, and digital revolutions, Pattern Seekers links one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood and challenges us to think differently about those who think differently.

Leonard Cohen - Christophe Lebold

Leonard Cohen has aimed high: to be all Jewish heroes at once. Like Jacob, he struggled with angels. Like David, he sang psalms and seduced women. Like Abraham, he moved from place to place and remained a stranger everywhere. But he never ceased doing what he did best: stepping into avalanches and reviving our hearts. From Montreal and New York to the Greek island of Hydra, Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall follows the singer⠙s cosmopolitan life and examines his perpetual dialogues with God, with himself, and with hotel rooms.After twenty years of research, Christophe Lebold, who spent time with the poet in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen⠙s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission the singer had set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light. The first edition of my book was published in French in late 2013 to good reviews and few readers. Then came 2014. Leonard tells me that if we must meet, it should be soon. He tells me why. A few months later, I am on a plane to Los Angeles.From the first minute, we spoke like old friends, sometimes until late at night. Although he was not well, he let me watch him live for a little. We said things to each other that I can⠙t repeat. It is not that they are secret; they are just very delicate. Like butterflies or hummingbirds. To repeat them would destroy them.We met again in Los Angeles two months later (he seemed in much better shape). We spent a last afternoon together; we hung out; we had a laugh; smoked a cigarette. And it was time to go.We stayed in touch. We were now friends. In his emails, he always talked about his health as an amusing detail, a little whim of the body. Two weeks before his death, I got a last, humorous, loving email warning me that the ⠜body ferociously insists on gravitational rights.⠝ A little nod at my theme of the fall of men and angels. And then, he left. It broke my heart, of course, but that⠙s what hearts are for.

Planning Miracles - Jon Cohen

A groundbreaking book about the past, present, and future of pandemics, and a behind-the-scenes portrait of the groundbreaking community of scientists working tirelessly to stop the next one before it startsIn 1955, the vaccine that eliminated polio was celebrated as a “planned miracle;” today, despite the astonishing global effort that came together to develop a vaccine for COVID-19 faster than ever before, we now struggle against the rise of science denial and misinformation. Since 2020, we have had to face a terrifying truth: it’s not if we’ll experience another pandemic, it’s when. How do we prepare to face it?Planning Miracles tells the stories of the heroes at the frontlines of epidemiology, fighting back against societal distrust and panic, monitoring the threats that exist, detecting outbreaks early, and developing new interventions as quickly as possible. Renowned science reporter Jon Cohen travels from the mountains of Vietnam to the rainforests in the Amazon, from the “wet” markets in Cambodia to fairgrounds in the United States, asking how we’ll defend ourselves against the growing threat of pandemics, and finds surprising—and encouraging—answers. He meets scientists sampling bats, pigs, wild birds, and insects to hunt for the next dangerous virus. He visits labs developing next generation vaccines with cutting edge technology that aim to protect us from entire viral families. Cohen discovers the unexpected links between climate change and the spread of disease and explores efforts to improve the equitable distribution of vaccines, diagnostics, and data sharing around the world.Weaving together history, reportage, and science writing, Planning Miracles is revelatory and necessary—providing hope that if we work together to plan for the next pandemic, we can avoid disaster.

A Brief History of the Economy - Daniel Cohen

Economic growth is the religion of the modern world. It promises a solution to the most basic drama of our human existence: wanting what we donâ ™t have. But we live in a time when the frenzied pursuit of economic growth is jeopardizing the planetâ ™s viability and our very survival as a species. How did we get to this point in human history? How did we allow the pursuit of growth to become the apotheosis of human development?To answer these questions, the distinguished economist Daniel Cohen takes us on a journey to understand human desire and the different registers on which it has expressed itself throughout history. He brings his panoramic grasp of the subject to bear on the key stages of social and economic development, from the Neolithic revolution to the digital age. The ideas of the great economists â “ from Adam Smith and Karl Marx to Joseph Schumpeter and John Maynard Keynes â “ are situated in their historical contexts and explained clearly and concisely. The result is a triumph of ambition and brevity: a history of the economy in 100 pages. This book â “ the final work written by Daniel Cohen â “ will appeal to anyone interested in the economy and in the tension between a limited world and unlimited desires that lies at the heart of the great challenges we face today.

Folk Devils and Moral Panics - Stanley Cohen

Richly documented and convincingly presented -- New SocietyMods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohenâ ™s classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term â ˜moral panicâ ™ into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society.Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.

Leonard Cohen On Track - Opher Goodwin

An enigma, Leonard Norman Cohen was possibly the most improbable bohemian intellectual songwriter/singer in music history. He was certainly the working-class hero, the peoples’ poet, the suicidal lamenter of doom and the purveyor of popular songs. But the truth is even more complex. Throughout his life, there were juxtapositions of the most unlikely life choices and influences. To have fashioned a mishmash of ideas, styles and influences into a successful, long-lasting musical career is nothing short of amazing. He blended secular, mystical, sexual and religious themes into ambiguous poetic tapestries and devised an intricate, unique musical style. He possessed a deep baritone voice that, although mesmerising, was sometimes in danger of sounding monotonous. Leonard was able to fuse these elements into a distinctive amalgam that somehow worked on many levels. He did not look the part, play the game or conform to any rules, but Leonard touched hearts and minds all over the world, while writing some remarkable songs, including ‘Halleluyah’ and ‘Suzanne’. Focusing equally on this popular early albums, his more experimental mid-period and his final, late-career renaissance, this book analyses and interprets every album and every individual song to shed light on the phenomenon of Leonard Cohen.

Kniha toužení - Leonard Cohen

Spisovatel, zpěvák, písničkář - to všechno je Leonard Cohen. Kniha toužení je však sbírkou básní a dodejme tedy k seznamu Cohenových profesí, že je básník, a to básník v Čechách nikoliv neznámý (sbírky Smrt muže, který patřil jedné ženě, Výbor z poezie, Květiny pro Hitlera...). Sbírka vznikala od 90. let do současnosti, z velké části v zenbuddhistickém klášteře na hoře Mt. Baldy v Kalifornii. Tuto horu, jak praví encyklopedický slovník, navštěvují obvykle zkušení lyžaři, které láká technická nesnadnost zdejších sjezdovek . Zkušený mistr slova Cohen zde v tiché kontemplaci pět let působil jako kuchař a tajemník svého duchovního učitele Sasaki Roshiho. Rozhovory se zde netrpí, řekl později. Ke komunikaci obyvatel kláštera sloužila převážně gesta a zvuky zvonků, řehtaček a klapaček. O to větší soustředění nalezl na psaní písňových textů a básní na svá obvyklá témata: láska, B-h, židovství, stáří, smrt.

After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in intimate detail, in a two-part memoir. Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center.

As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship. With her trademark honesty and humour, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century. Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono - and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.
