"Are you from the South? You&#39;ll love this book. Those of you from the North, East, and West will too. Todd and Michelle bring bursts of side-splitting laughter, tons of out-of-this-world Southern food (yes, there are recipes!) and a whole lot of Jesus in this much-needed devotional. Truly, in this day and time, I can&#39;t think of a better combination. I laughed. I snickered&mdash;there might have even been a guffaw or two&mdash;but mostly, I drew closer to Jesus. I highly recommend this book. And the recipes."&nbsp;

Malorie amplifies the fears of Bird Box tenfold.&rdquo;&mdash;SyFy Wire&#160;&ldquo;Malerman&rsquo;s narrative matches the twists and tension of the first novel, and readers are likely to leave this book sufficiently shaken. The popularity of Bird Box and the ubiquity of the 2018 Netflix adaptation all but guarantee high demand for this outstanding second foray into monsters and madness.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (Starred Review)&#160;&ldquo;Essential worldbuilding is seamlessly interwoven in a narrative paired with enlightening flashbacks into Malorie&rsquo;s childhood, making this a solid stand-alone. Malerman will no doubt add to his legions of fans with this title ripe for readers of any genre seeking an intensely thrilling ride.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;You know how you sometimes begin a series on Netflix and you tell yourself &lsquo;I&rsquo;m just going to watch one episode&rsquo; but ten hours later you&rsquo;ve binged the entire series because the story is so relentlessly compelling?

Not only did I read this book in one sitting, it still haunts me, swirling in my imagination even as I write this.&rdquo;&mdash;Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet&ldquo;Malerman is one of the most intelligent writers of horror fiction working today.

&ldquo;A lively tale of historical innovation, the thrill of the bibliophile&rsquo;s hunt, greed and betrayal.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book ReviewFinalist for the Marfield Prize/National&#160;Award&#160;for Arts WritingAmazon Editor's Pick for Best Nonfiction"The remarkable tale of 'Number 45,' one of the finest copies of the Gutenberg Bible in existence&hellip; Davis does a fine job telling a fascinating story that touches on the origin of books, the passion of collectors, the unseen world of rare-book dealers, and the lives of the super-rich, past and present. A great read for any book lover.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus (starred review)&ldquo;An addictive and engaging look at the &lsquo;competitive, catty and slightly angst-ridden&rsquo; heart of the world of book collecting&hellip;. The Lost Gutenberg reads like a comedy of manners starring the cast of an Ayn Rand novel&hellip;. It&rsquo;s improbable and riveting.&rdquo;&mdash;Houston Chronicle&ldquo;A gripping, well-researched account of the importance of books as cultural artifacts and of one particular work that transformed the world, as well as the lives of those who owned a copy, that will appeal especially to bibliophiles.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;The depth of Davis' research cannot be understated. The writing in this book is straightforward and, at times, even heartbreaking, but outstanding reporting lies at its core....&#160;The Lost Gutenberg&#160;pulls readers into a five-century saga, plunging them into the minds of those who desired the Bible and the prestige that came with it. This makes it a book about not only Number 45 and its owners but also a narrative that explores our collective obsession with art, technology, change, and history.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR"A fascinating read for anyone who cares about books."&mdash;Star Tribune"An entertaining and insightful human story of obsession."&mdash;Daily Telegraph"A thrilling page-turner."&mdash;Daily Mail&ldquo;The Lost Gutenberg has two protagonists: a singularly beautiful copy of the Gutenberg Bible&mdash;known as #45&mdash;and the California heiress who emerged from scandal to chase it. Along the way, Davis takes in the larger-than-life stories of the aristocrats, libertines, billionaires, and bibliomaniacs who all competed to own this unique piece of literary history. A fascinating exploration of the shifting value we place on rare books, and the shifting wealth and power of those who hunt them.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Blanding, New York Times bestselling author of The Map Thief: The Gripping Story of an Esteemed Rare-Map Dealer Who Made Millions Stealing Priceless Maps&ldquo;Bibliophiles love books, and none more than the book collector&rsquo;s dream of dreams, a Gutenberg Bible. Davis tells not just with skill but also with sympathy and even love. A richly informative but finally a deeply moving story.&rdquo;&mdash;Jack Miles, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of God: A Biography&ldquo;The great protagonist is the book itself, the beautifully preserved Gutenberg 45, its immortality assured through, of all things, a cyclotron scanning its pages, analyzing its ink and paper, as it entered the digital age. The Lost Gutenberg is a spellbinding read, and Margaret Leslie Davis is a damn good storyteller.&rdquo;&mdash;No&euml;l Riley Fitch, author of Sylvia Beach: Une am&eacute;ricaine &agrave; Paris"Margaret Leslie Davis&rsquo;s The Lost Gutenberg is a fascinating and apt successor to her Mona Lisa in Camelot, for the Gutenberg Bible is to the book arts what the Mona Lisa is to painting&mdash;a Holy Grail and epitome of the art it embodies. Davis writes of the succession of owners of a particular copy of Gutenberg&rsquo;s masterpiece, number 45. She gives a haunting and at times heartbreaking account of the way a material object can acquire a mystical resonance and affect different people and lives across centuries."&mdash;Victoria Steele, former Brooke Russell Astor Director of Collections, New York Public Library&ldquo;This wonderful, elegant story, which reads like a thriller, will delight anyone who loves books, collecting, history, and biography. The Gutenberg Bible was the object of admiration, greed, and speculation, but also of brilliant scientific discoveries. Populated by remarkable and quirky individuals, their passions and tragedies, this superbly researched historical gem is a veritable page-turner.&rdquo;&mdash;Diana Kormos Buchwald, Director and General Editor, Einstein Papers Project,&#160;The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein,&#160;Professor of History, Caltech&ldquo;Margaret Leslie Davis has done it again&mdash;unearthed fresh information about a cultural icon and turned it into a compelling story that reveals human nature while illuminating a slice of history. In this case her subject is the Gutenberg Bible or, to be more precise, Number 45 of the 48 existing copies of the book. The larger story digs into 500 years of book-collecting and all the love, lust, and drama that can afflict proud possessors.&rdquo;&mdash;Suzanne Muchnic, author of Odd Man In: Norton Simon and the Pursuit of Culture and LACMA So Far: A Portrait of a Museum in the Making; former&#160;art reporter and art critic,&#160;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;The fascinating story of how one Gutenberg Bible traveled through two centuries and how one woman, the legendary Los Angeles book collector Estelle Doheny, pursued, purchased, and cherished it. This tale, written for both ardent bibliophiles and those seeking an engaging historical narrative, includes a sad episode of betrayal, exciting nuclear discoveries, and the arrival of Gutenberg into the digital age.&rdquo;&mdash;Alan Jutzi, former Avery Curator of Rare Books, Henry E.

An engaging analysis of bibliomania which also throws light on commercial and investment history in Britain and America."&mdash;Church Times

The Swallows' Flight

Der Autor [Michael Maier] zieht den Leser mitten in eine komplexe Materie [...]. Maier nennt die Dinge beim Namen, klärt auf, zitiert Enscheidungsträger, erläutert die verfahrene Situation vor dem Hintergrund wissenschaftlich fundierter Wirtschaftstheorien. Seine Sprache ist klar und verständlich, schonungslos seine Kritik. Sein Buch ist eine Warnung und ein Aufruf, sich zu wehren. Gegen die Plünderung der Welt. (Phoenix Kundenmagazin 07/14)

Michael Maier hat ein Buch verfasst, das die verbrecherische Finanzpolitik unserer Tage als faustisches Erbe beschreibt. (...) Trotz einer schillernden Rhetorik hat Michael Maier kein linksradikales Buch geschrieben. Er will den Kapitalismus nicht abschaffen, sondern auf ein menschliches Maß zurückstufen. (...)
