Jeremy Scott Boeken

A light, entertaining and slightly irreverent romp through the history of the drug.

From sheltered preacher's kid to movie theater manager to CinemaSins and millions of YouTube subscribers, Jeremy Scott gives readers an insider look into his lifelong love of movies and how he became one of the most successful creators on YouTube.

Set four years after the events of Strings, Currents finds the Ables gang about to start their second year at Goodspeed University. Phillip is struggling more than ever with anxiety and PTSD, and he continues to feel tremendous guilt over the loss of a friend. It's haunting him. He's having vivid nightmares, passing out frequently, and starting to question his role in the world. On top of all that, he's taking his first public speaking course, and the learning curve is steep--though he does make a new friend in the class. Phillip also finds himself truly blind once again, with no one to give him even temporary sight. He and his girlfriend, Emmaline, have created a sort of shorthand that allows her to communicate enemy positions so that Phillip can still be an effective crime fighter. Sherpa, his dog, is proving just as helpful during hero work as she is in the day-to-day things Phillip needs help with. There's more distance between Phillip & Bentley now, and the reasons aren't entirely understood by either of them. As Phillip tries to keep it together and rebuild an old friendship, the group of college heroes chases a new energy-hoarding villain across the globe, desperate to understand the danger in time to stop it. By the end, few of them will ever be the same.

Relations between humans and heroes disintegrate when a mysterious disease begins wiping out the older generation of heroes. The children of the original Ables must step up and join their parents in the race to uncover a secret lab that holds the cure for the disease--and the madman who created it, who is bent on destroying them all.

A blind student confronts his superhuman abilities and the limitations put on them by his disability, and must rally his classmates to stop a dangerous new threat.

Strings is the second book in the fast-paced, captivating Ables series from Jeremy Scott, a bold new voice in fantasy and sci- fi, and already a widely popular storyteller as co-creator and narrator of CinemaSins, a YouTube channel that has amassed more than 8 million subscribers. In this exciting and action-packed continuation, our heros are confronted with a mysterious new villain wielding a previously unknown power. Phillip, Bentley, & Henry will be forced to stretch their abilities and their bonds further than ever before.

In the early '80s, a priest who is also the elected sheriff of his rural Indiana town fights to solve a string of murders that have shaken his sleepy community to its core--while harboring a chilling secret of his own.

Victoria Woodhull, Mary Wollstonecraft, Aimee Semple McPherson, Edwina Mountbatten, Margaret Argyll and Chanel were all women who dared. They had no time for what society said they could and couldn’t do and would see the world bend before they did. In 1872 a mesmerising psychic named Victoria Woodhull shattered tradition by running for the White House. Had she won the ensuing spectacle would surely have rivalled that of our own era. Abhorring such flamboyance, Mary Wollstonecraft inspired a revolution of thought with her pen as she issued women’s first manifesto – still to be fulfilled. From Aimee Semple McPherson, the first female preacher in America, to Coco Chanel, designer of an empire, these women became the change they wanted to see in society. In Women Who Dared, Jeremy Scott pays tribute to them all with wit, verve and reverence.

The narrative explores the harrowing experience of abduction, delving into the protagonist's emotional turmoil and struggle for survival. As the story unfolds, themes of resilience and hope emerge, highlighting the character's determination to escape and reclaim their life. The intense psychological journey is complemented by moments of reflection on freedom and identity, making it a gripping and thought-provoking read. The book promises to engage readers with its suspenseful plot and deep character development.

Kokain není návykový, drahoušku, musím to vědět, beru ho už roky. Tento lehkovážný výrok, který pronesla Tallulah Bankheadová, byl pro zástupy milovníků kokainu dlouhou dobu nezpochybnitelnou zárukou – a od velkolepé premiéry kokainu během Belle Epoque se změnilo jen málo. Bílá dáma dobyla svět, střídavě oslavována i démonizována, vítána jako všelék anebo viněna za selhání společnosti. Dnes je to oblíbený stimulans na evropských večírcích i mezi vynervovanými bankéři – a každý, od výrobce po uživatele, hraje vysokou hru. Kniha Natalie Naishové a Jeremyho Scotta vypráví podrobnou historii kokainu od chvíle jeho mýtického zrodu a mapuje jeho cesty po světě od dávných dob až do současnosti. Životní příběhy známých uživatelů, jako byli Sigmund Freud, Stevie Nicksová, Kate Mossová a Amy Winehouseová, doplňují celé vyprávění, které je často tragické a občas i humorné. Kokain: Životopis nemoralizuje ani neomlouvá, ale přináší vzrušující příběh globálního fenoménu.
