Intet levende væsen, ikke engang mennesket, har bare tilnærmelsesvis opnået det, som bierne har opnået, når det gælder eksempelvis arkitektur og samfundsorden. Fascinationen af biernes liv er udgangspunktet for Maurice Maeterlincks sprudlende poetiske essaysamling, der mellem linjerne handler lige så meget om mennesket selv, som om bierne.-

Das schillernde Porträt einer Formel-1-LegendeDie Erfolge von Lewis Hamilton lassen sich nur in Superlativen messen. Er hat sich so viele WM-Titel wie Michael Schumacher erkämpft, die meisten Grand-Prix-Siege eingefahren und wurde mit mehr Ehrungen überhäuft als jeder Motorsportler vor ihm. Der 1985 geborene Brite erhielt von seinem Vater in weiser Vorausschau den Nachnamen des legendären Sprinters Carl Lewis als Vornamen und erkämpfte sich mit gerade einmal 23 Jahren den ersten Weltmeistertitel. Durch seinen riskanten Fahrstil lockt er bei den Formel-1-Übertragungen Millionen von Zuschauern vor die Bildschirme, die gebannt seinen Manövern folgen. Doch wer ist Lewis Hamilton wirklich? Frank Worrall zeichnet das packende Porträt eines weltberühmten Motorsportlers, der durch seine markigen Sprüche oftmals für Empörung sorgt, aber zeitgleich vegane Ernährung und Tierschutz propagiert. Während er auf der Rennstrecke Runde um Runde in atemberaubendem Tempo zurücklegt, spielt er in seiner Freizeit Klavier und Gitarre und engagiert sich bei Anti-Rassismus-Demonstrationen. Die spannende umfassende Biografie wird Hamilton als Menschen und Sportler gerecht, punktet mit Fachwissen und lässt die Herzen der hartgesottenen Formel-1-Fans höherschlagen. Ein wahrer Pageturner - aufregend wie ein Meisterschaftsrennen.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • At the end of World War II, a band of aces gathered in the Mojave Desert on a Top Secret quest to break the sound barrier–nicknamed "The Demon" by pilots. The true story of what happened in those skies has never been told. Speed. In 1947, it represented the difference between victory and annihilation. After Hiroshima, the ability to deliver a nuclear device to its target faster than one’s enemy became the singular obsession of American war planners. And so, in the earliest days of the Cold War, a highly classified program was conducted on a desolate air base in California’s Mojave Desert. Its aim: to push the envelope of flight to new frontiers. There gathered an extraordinary band of pilots, including Second World War aces Chuck Yeager and George Welch, who risked their lives flying experimental aircraft to reach Mach 1, the so-called sound barrier, which pilots called “the demon.” Shrouding the program in secrecy, the US military reluctantly revealed that the “barrier” had been broken two months later, after the story was leaked to the press. The full truth has never been fully revealed—until now. Chasing the Demon, from decorated fighter pilot and acclaimed aviation historian Dan Hampton, tells, for the first time, the extraordinary true story of mankind’s quest for Mach 1. Here, of course, is twenty-four-year-old Captain Chuck Yeager, who made history flying the futuristic Bell X-1 faster than the speed of sound on October 14, 1947. Officially Yeager was the first to achieve supersonic flight, but drawing on new interviews with survivors of the program, including Yeager’s former commander, as well as declassified files, Hampton presents evidence that a fellow American—George Welch, a daring fighter pilot who shot down a remarkable sixteen enemy aircraft during the Pacific War—met the demon first, though he was not favored to wear the laurels, as he was now a civilian test pilot and was not flying the Bell X-1.Chasing the Demon sets the race between Yeager and Welch in the context of aviation history, so that the reader can learn and appreciate their accomplishments as never before.
