Book Description
Die 60er Jahre waren die spekulativste Ära der Wall Street. Diese Jahre waren geprägt von Wachstum und Performance (Wertentwicklung). In diesem stürmischen Umfeld war die Schar der Kleinanleger sehr erfolgreich und ihre Zahl wuchs ständig; die verheerenden Crashs der 70er Jahre jedoch setzten dieser Entwicklung ein jähes Ende. Brooks hat eine Chronik dieser Ära verfaßt - eine abenteuerliche und humorvolle Geschichte mit einer Mischung aus solider Reportage nach Art der New York Times und dem lockeren Erzählstil des New Yorker. Hier lernt der Leser so nebenbei alles über die Boomjahre der 60er und die Kurseinbrüche der 70er, wobei er als Anleger daran erinnert wird, daß die Wall Street von jeher ein Quell von Hoffnung, Chaos und Übertreibung ist. (09/99)

Book Description
Newberry Honour Award Winner & National Book Award Winner. Matt is six years old when he discovers that he is different from other children and other people. To most, Matt isn't considered a boy at all, but a beast, dirty and disgusting. But to El Patron, lord of a country called Opium, Matt is the guarantee of eternal life. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself - for Matt is himself. They share the exact same DNA. As Matt struggles to understand his existence and what that existence truly means, he is threatened by a host of sinister and manipulating characters, from El Patron's power-hungry family to the brain-deadened eejits and mindless slaves that toil Opium's poppy fields. Surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards, escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But even escape is no guarantee of freedom . . . because Matt is marked by his difference in ways that he doesn't even suspect.

Book Description
Hank Schatz One of my toughest decisions was to join the Army after graduating high school. My second toughest was to decide it was time to get out. I wanted more than that life had to offer-namely the return of my humanity and a life beyond the pain that had leached into my soul during my deployments. Without a hint at what to do next, I said goodbye to my Army life and headed home to Missouri.There were things I'd been hiding from my family for too many years-a secret that had nothing to do with my career as an Army Ranger. It was time I began to live my truth, but how to start, I didn't know. I was aware of one thing for sure-I didn't want to be lonely anymore.##Reed Bayless I had a job I loved as a Special Education teacher at Carver Middle School in central Missouri. The kids were amazing, and their parents were supportive, unlike my last school where the parents believed their expensive tuition relieved them of their obligations to actually participate in their children's education. Sadly, I was still alone, and I was getting a little long in the tooth to play the one-night game. Unexpectedly, my diamond brought her brother to the Christmas Eve service at the local Lutheran church, and I found myself off-balance by the gorgeous man. I felt there was a sadness about him that made me want to hold him in my arms until his hurts healed. Of course, he was an Army Ranger, the toughest of the tough and the straightest of the straight. Between Ranger Hank, and his dog, Cosmo, I wanted things I couldn't imagine were possible. Or were they? This work of fiction is approximately 142,000 words in length and doesn't end in a cliffhanger. It is the first book in the series entitled, "The Lonely Heroes Series."

Book Description
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Legends of the Fall: a beautifully crafted story of one woman’s journey to find her son. From her home on the California coast, Dalva hears the broad silence of the Nebraska prairie where she was born and longs for the son she gave up for adoption years before. Beautiful, fearless, tormented, at forty-five she has lived a life of lovers and adventures. Now, Dalva begins a journey that will take her back to the bosom of her family, to the half-Sioux lover of her youth, and to a pioneering great-grandfather whose journals recount the bloody annihilation of the Plains Indians. On the way, she discovers a story that stretches from East to West, from the Civil War to Wounded Knee and Vietnam—and finds the balm to heal her wild and wounded soul. One of Harrison’s most ambitious novels, Dalva explores an extraordinary family through the strong, engaging voice of an unforgettable woman, confirming Harrison as one of America’s most memorable writers. “There is no putting aside Dalva until the time bombs go off, the identities are revealed, and the skeletons almost literally tumble from the closets . . . Dalva is suspended in its own beauty.” —Louise Erdrich, Chicago Tribune
