Michael Wolff Boeken

Nog nooit is het eerste jaar van een Amerikaanse president zo stormachtig verlopen als dat van Donald Trump. Journalist Michael Wolff wist door te dringen tot de binnenste kringen van het Witte Huis en sprak er met tweehonderd ooggetuigen. In Vuur en woede vertelt hij het ware verhaal van de opvliegende en onvoorspelbare president en zijn entourage. Vuur en woede is een onschatbare bron van nieuwe informatie over de chaos rondom Donald Trump. Michael Wolff beschrijft onder meer wat Trumps medewerkers werkelijk van hem vinden; wat Trump ertoe bewoog om te beweren dat hij door zijn voorganger Obama werd afgeluisterd; wat de ware reden was van het ontslag van James Comey als FBI-directeur; wie het brein van Trumps regering is na het ontslag van Steve Bannon; en hoe je tot Trump moet doordringen. Nooit eerder heeft een Amerikaanse president zijn landgenoten zo tegen elkaar opgezet. En nooit eerder heeft een boek over een president zo veel stof doen opwaaien. Vuur en woede is het briljant geschreven, adembenemende relaas van een jaar van machtsstrijd en verdeeldheid in het machtigste land ter wereld. Michael Wolff schreef reeds zes boeken en schrijft voor onder meer Vanity Fair, New York, USA Today en The Guardian. Hij woont in New York en heeft vier kinderen.

At the Elbow of Another is about teaching and learning to teach, written from the perspectives and experiences of two educators who teach and, in so doing, learn to teach. Teaching and learning to teach at the elbows of other teachers (including ourselves) provide us with new and different understandings and allow us to describe a different epistemology of teaching. We adopt a first-person perspective on teaching, sometimes our own and at other times that of peers but through the eyes of coparticipants engaged in an activity with the same primary intention of assisting students to learn. Throughout this book, we focus on teaching and learning to teach at different stages of the career ladder and explore different ways of conceiving the roles of researchers, supervisors, evaluators, cooperating teachers, and «new teachers.»

From the author of the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White HouseRupert Murdoch is one of the greatest deal-makers alive. Whether it is the Sun and the rise of Thatcher, BSkyB and the transformation of football, or Fox News and the war on terror, we have been living in the age of Murdoch since the late seventies.

Michael Wolff was a journalist and writer; in 1998 he is a journalist and writer again. But in the first half of the '90s he was an Internet entrepreneur, Chairman and CEO of Wolff New Media. This is Wolff's story. BURN RATE is hugely informative about the world of the net and the web, search engines, closed systems, online pornography; it is also incredibly funny. As readable as a novel, BURN RATE is an all too human story of one man, at first idealistic and naive, then corrupted and increasingly cynical, and eventually burned out and tired, and of a world that bears as much resemblance to the school playground (not least in the age of it's major players) as it does to the world of conventional businesses. If there is one book which tells us about what is going on in the complex and confusing struggle for the future of the Internet it is this one.

In a career spanning four decades Rupert Murdoch has built News International into a $70 billion corporation. Through a series of breathtaking gambles he expanded from his base in the Australian newspaper business to achieve a preeminent position in the UK's media, and to control a huge slice of Hollywood. Increasingly his company has built a presence in online and digital media, most recently through its acquisition of MySpace, and he is steadily expanding into Southeast Asia. But Murdoch is more than a predatory and merciless deal-maker. His company does not only generate dizzying profits and growth rates. His company generates the information that forms our understanding of the world. He presides over what we read, what we watch, what we come to believe about ourselves, to an extent that is without serious parallel anywhere on earth. In the words of Michael Wolff, Murdoch 'held more power over more time than any other contemporary figure'. Working with unrivalled access to Murdoch himself, his family, and his inner circle of advisors, Wolff shows how Murdoch came to wield this power and the uses he has made of it. Murdoch has become almost invisible behind the strong emotions he provokes. Now Wolff's account reveals the qualities that took Murdoch to the top of the world and have kept him there. In doing so he tells a business story that is also the story of a man's life, and the story of our times.

"The final days of the Trump presidency"--Jacket.

The narrative follows Michael Wolff's journey from a struggling entrepreneur to a successful figure in the Internet industry, only to face a dramatic fall. His account humorously critiques an industry driven by hype and celebrity, highlighting the disconnect between investment and actual profitability. Through his experiences, Wolff unveils the absurdities and challenges of the tech world, offering a candid look at the highs and lows of entrepreneurship in the digital age.

With FIRE AND FURY, Michael Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in SIEGE, he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump's second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller report, SIEGEreveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic and exposed.

TOO FAMOUS collects pieces Michael Wolff has written as a columnist for New York, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, GQ and The Hollywood Reporter, and adds several new ones. Written over a 20-year period, the book spans that moment in popular culture when personal attention became one of the world's most valuable commodities, and ending with Donald Trump, fame's most hyperbolic exponent. Some of these pieces exist in the amber of a particular news moment, some as character portraits - as colourful now as when they were written - and some as lasting observations about human nature and folly. The common ground all of these thrilling stories share is that everyone in this book is a creature of, or creation of, the media. They don't exist as who we see them as, and who they want to be, without the media.
