Content: In der Fortsetzung des Films „Captain Marvel“ (2019) interagieren die Kräfte der Superheldin plötzlich mit denen ihrer Nichte und einer Jugendlichen, die ein glühender Captain-Marvel-Fan ist und als „Ms. Marvel“ ebenfalls über Superkräfte verfügt. Im Kampf gegen ein instabiles Universum und gegen die rachsüchtigen Kree haben die drei Frauen nur dann eine Chance, wenn sie ihre Kräfte gegenseitig ausbalancieren, was nur durch Empathie und Teamgeist möglich ist. Das Fandom der Jugendlichen wird dabei zum erfrischenden Inszenierungskniff, der aus Disney-Prinzessinnen, „Cat Content“ und TikTok-Videos den selbstironischen Grundton des Films gewinnt. - [Film-Dienst.de]

Content: " The #1  New York Times   bestselling author of  The Devil in the White City   and  Dead Wake   delivers a fresh and compelling portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2020 BY The Washington Post &bull, HuffPost &bull, The Seattle Times &bull, Lit Hub &bull, The Week &bull, PopSugar On Winston Churchill&rsquo, first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally&mdash,nd willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile , Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people &ldquo,he art of being fearless.&rdquo,It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it&rsquo, also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill&rsquo, prime-ministerial country home, Chequers,his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest,and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports&mdash,ome released only recently&mdash,arson provides a new lens on London&rsquo, darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine,their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents&rsquo,wartime protectiveness,their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela,Pamela&rsquo, illicit lover, a dashing American emissary,and the advisers in Churchill&rsquo, &ldquo,ecret Circle,&rdquo,to whom he turns in the hardest moments.   The Splendid and the Vile   takes readers out of today&rsquo, political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill&rsquo, eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together. This audiobook includes a recording of Winston Churchill's 1941 Christmas Eve speech. "

Content: Biographisches: " Erik Larson  " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:We all know the outcome, but listeners will still be on the edge of their seats while listening to John Lee's superb narration of Winston Churchill's first year as Britain's prime minister, 1940-41. With a German invasion expected at any moment, this was the most perilous year in Britain's history, the year of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and the Blitz. As he's done so expertly in bestsellers like IN THE GARDEN OF THE BEASTS, Larsen re-creates the atmosphere of the time, drawing not just on Churchill, but also on his family and subordinates, as well as a mosaic of contemporary accounts. Larson delivers the introduction and does a fine job, but Lee brings the polish and expressiveness of a gifted narrator--one who performs a perfectly credible Churchill voice. D.A.W.

Series Statement: A Random House Audiobook Original

Content: " From New York Times bestselling author Erik Larson comes his first venture into fiction, an otherworldly tale of intrigue and the impossible that marshals his trademark approach to nonfiction to create something new: a ghost story thoroughly grounded in history. Pioneering psychologist William James leads an expedition to a remote isle in search of answers after a family inexplicably vanishes. Was the cause rooted in the physical world . or were there forces more paranormal and sinister at work? Available only on audio, because as Larson says, ghost stories are best told aloud.A group of researchers sets sail for the Isle of Dorn in the North Atlantic in 1905 to explore the cause of several mysterious disappearances, most notably a family of four who vanished without a trace after a week-long holiday on the island. Led by Professor James, a prominent member of the Society for Psychical Research, they begin to explore the island&rsquo, sole cottage and surrounding landscape in search of a logical explanation. The idyllic setting belies an undercurrent of danger and treachery, with raging storms and unnerving discoveries adding to the sense of menace. As increasingly unexplainable events unfold, the now-stranded investigators are unsure whether they can trust their own eyes, their instincts, one another&mdash,r even themselves. Erik Larson has written a terrifying tale of suspense, underpinned with actual people and events. Created specifically to entertain audio listeners, this eerie blend of the ghostly and the real will keep listeners captivated till the blood-chilling end. Featuring Erik Larson reading his Notes for a Narrator . "

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Julian Rhind-Tutt performs this ghost story in a style that suits this audio-only production. Set in 1905 on the desolate island of Dorn, off the Cornwall coast, the novel features mostly British characters. The sole exception is American professor William James. The choice to portray James in a flat tone seems inaccurate for the upper-crust man he was. That said, Rhind-Tutt narrates all the Brits well and gives atmosphere to the ghost story. Writer Erik Larson clearly has fun with his first foray into fiction and pays attention to the science of the day, particularly with respect to a character who is an engineer with expertise in radio waves. This suspenseful, engrossing audiobook is packed with surprises, even a romantic twist. A.D.M. � AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine"

Content: " This riveting nonfiction picture book biography explores both the failures and successes of self-taught engineer Emma Lilian Todd as she tackles one of the greatest challenges of the early 1900s: designing an airplane. Emma Lilian Todd's mind was always soaring she loved to solve problems. Lilian tinkered and fiddled with all sorts of objects, turning dreams into useful inventions. As a child, she took apart and reassembled clocks to figure out how they worked. As an adult, typing up patents at the U.S. Patent Office, Lilian built the inventions in her mind, including many designs for flying machines. However, they all seemed too impractical. Lilian knew she could design one that worked. She took inspiration from both nature and her many failures, driving herself to perfect the design that would eventually successfully fly. Illustrator Tracy Subisak's art brings to life author Kirsten W. Larson's story of this little-known but important engineer."

Emma Lilian Todd, sparked by curiosity to tinker, engineer, and invent even as a child, worked to build her own airplane. The illustrations give life to this narrative nonfiction account of Todd's upbringing and her thirst for solving problems through prototyping. Each gear and each part used in her childhood mechanical creations is drawn with noticeable detail. Movement is depicted through wispy clouds and bold strokes in the sky when the story focuses on Todd's fascination with flight. Vivid colors add a warm, rich tone to match the extraordinary effort and care that Todd put into inventing. Quotations from the book's subject and others mentioned in her story are sprinkled throughout the narrative, providing insight into Todd's creative process. A detailed author's note, photographs of the real Todd and her airplane models (with photo credits), a time line, and a selected bibliography are included in the back matter.

In the early 20th century, Emma Lilian Todd built on the ideas of the Wright brothers and others to create an airplane that successfully flew. A person who disappeared into history after adding to the knowledge of the era, Todd is resurrected here as a role model who can provide encouragement and inspiration by virtue of her single-minded dedication and resilience. Energetic, thoughtful text punctuated by Todd's own words and Subisak's inventive, warmly outlined full-color illustrations follow her life from a childhood interest in the way things work--her inventor grandfather was an influence--through her subsequent work at the U.S. Patent Office to her many trials and errors in creating prototypes and eventually a working plane. The focus is on her work as an inventor rather than her personal life, and the additional obstacles she faced as a woman are acknowledged organically in context. While Emma Todd certainly contributed to the development of the airplane, what stands out in this selection is not her invention but her fascination with flight and engineering, her determination to explore her interests whether society approved or not, and her perception of failure as a challenge. Todd and those around her present white. Celebrates its subject's resilience as much as her contributions to STEM and aeronautics.

With a family that encouraged her to make and fiddle with gadgets, Emma Lilian Todd gravitated toward a job in the U.S. Patent Office, where her interest in flying machines led to years of experimentation.

Todd’s childhood love of tinkering—“She took apart a clock She put the pieces back together this way. No tick. She put the pieces back that way. No tock”—serves her well in her adult quest to design a working airplane. (Todd is quoted: “There is no work so discouraging, so exasperating, so delightful, so mean, so difficult, so exhilarating as building aeroplanes.”) Larson’s author’s note mentions that “many of Lilian Todd’s ideas don’t survive in modern airplanes.” Todd’s plucky perseverance appeals, and Subisak’s cheerily cluttered loose-lined illustrations conjure a world of patent diagrams, dreams, experimental machines, and grit.

Daniel Hudson Burnham, wybitny dyrektor robót wystawy i twórca wielu ważnych budynków, takich jak Flatiron Building w Nowym Jorku czy Union Station w Waszyngtonie, pokonuje liczne przeszkody i wraz ze swoim zespołem stara się przekształcić podmokły park Jacksona w „Białe Miasto.
