      Der Superstar in SEINEN Worten - Michael Jacksons einzige und einzigartige Autobiografie „Ich habe mir immer gewünscht, Geschichten erzählen zu können, Geschichten, die aus meiner Seele kommen. Ich würde am liebsten an einem Feuer sitzen und Geschichten erzählen – meine Zuhörer dazu bringen, Bilder zu sehen, zu weinen und zu lachen, sie gefühlsmäßig irgendwohin zu entführen mit den so täuschend einfach wirkenden Mitteln der Sprache. Keine Kostüme, kein Make-up, nichts, nur du und deine Stimme ...“ Michael Jackson in Moonwalk. Am 25. Juni 2009 steht die Welt kurz still. Michael Jackson ist tot. „Moonwalk“ nimmt uns noch einmal mit zurück in sein Leben: von den Anfängen der „Jackson Five“ bis zu seinen größten Hits als Megastar. Ausführlich erzählt Michael Jackson von den Jahren in seiner Heimatstadt Gary, dem Verhältnis zu seiner Familie und späteren Freunden wie Diana Ross oder Paul McCartney. Erstaunlich offen gewährt er Einblicke in seine Arbeitsweise und spricht erstmals auch über die Schattenseiten seines Erfolges. Über die Angst, zu scheitern, die rufschädigenden Gerüchte und seine fast unerträgliche Einsamkeit. Mit „Moonwalk” offenbart Michael Jackson den Menschen hinter dem Star – und trifft damit mitten ins Herz. Der Mensch hinter dem Megastar – außergewöhnlich offen und sehr berührend.

      The "Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch," now a classic reference, was the first book to give single malt scotch the systematic, in-depth treatment reserved for wine. This new edition will help you to discover the differences between the "lightly earthy, nutty" palate of the 10-year-old Fettercairn; the "elegant, dry" 10-year-old Glenfarclas; the "full, smooth" body of the 1971 Millburn; and the "sweetish, gingery, warming" finish of the 12-year-old Oban malts.

    • Covers the career of a popular music legend from the child star whose infectious lead vocals catapulted the Jackson 5 into the spotlight, to the feeding frenzy that surrounded the announcement of a new tour in Summer 2009. Michael Jackson had charisma. He was a flamboyant, a dazzling performer who owned the stage. His death rang down the curtain on a turbulent life, but did not end his reign as the King of Pop. He lives on through his extraordinary catalogue, which will ensure that his regal status is maintained.
