Story
Do you know it, do you remember it, the drives, the attitudes, the terrors and, yes, the joys? Thus Steinbeck introduces his collection of poignant and hard-hitting dispatches for the New York Herald Tribune when the Second World War was at its height. He begins in England, recounting the courage of the bomber crews, the tragic air-raids and the strangeness of the British, before being sent to Africa and joining a special operations unit off the coast of Italy.

Story
Through many decades of groundbreaking journalism, John Simpson has become not only one of the most recognisable and trusted British personalities, but has transferred his skill to books with multiple bestselling success. With this book he turns his eye to how Great Britain has been transformed by its free press down the years. He shows how, while the press likes to pretend it's independent, they have enjoyed the power they have over the events they report and have at times exercised it irresponsibly.

Story
All food has a story, reaching as far back into history as language itself. As languages followed and reflected the tides of civilizations, food language came to represent some of the highs and lows of how humans communicate: from the highbrow 'Chateauneuf du Pape: (the Pope's new castle)' to the 'nun's farts' of Jamaica (also known as 'beignets'). Chock full of food puns, linguistic did-you-knows and delectable trivia, this is the surprising and hilarious history of food, told through the lens of the fascinating evolution of language.

Story
Linguistik-Professor Simon Meier-Vieracker vermittelt uns die faszinierende Vielfalt der deutschen Sprache. Wir sprechen, also sind wir. In verschiedenen Gegenden Deutschlands wird unterschiedlich gesprochen. Die lokalen Dialekte haben nicht nur Kultstatus, sondern geben uns auch Auskunft über die Herkunft von Sprechenden. Während das Ende eines Brotstücks beispielsweise in Ostdeutschland oft als »Kanten« bezeichnet wird, sagt man in Hamburg eher »Knust« und im Schwabenland heißt es oft »Riebele«.

Story
Was emotional nicht stimmt, das hört man, denn Stimme macht Stimmung... Kennen Sie einen Topmanager mit Piepsstimme? Wie klingt die Stimme schüchterner Menschen? Welchen Eindruck macht es, wenn jemand nuschelt? Die Stimme verrät viel über uns: ob wir gut oder schlecht gelaunt sind, ob wir in einer Situation sicher oder unsicher sind und ob wir von dem, was wir sagen, überzeugt sind. Bereits in der Kindheit werden spätere Stimmstrategien angelegt. Um die Stimme wirkungsvoll einzusetzen, muss man wissen, was sie bewirkt.

Story
Mr. Jonathan Chambers senses that something is very wrong. The walk he takes every night is suddenly, slightly shorter. All around him things are vanishing. Is it because of the recent war or famine in the world? Does the scandalous theory that cost him his job hold the key? Or is it just the slowly unhinging mind of a recluse?
