    My Beloved World

    My Beloved World

    Dikke hardback in zeer goede staat. Stofomslag. Engelstalig. Geillustreerd.

    The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

    Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself.  She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery.

    Marilyn - The Last Take

    Marilyn - The Last Take

    Halflinnen. Dikke hardback met stofomslag en buikbandje in goede staat. Aantekening voorin. Fotokatern. Engelstalig.

    At last, the true and complete story of Marilyn Monroe's final days can be told. This riveting, headline-making, myth-shattering book, based on thousands of newly discovered documents, hours of newly available footage from her final film, and over 300 revealing new interviews, is a detailed and astonishing account of what really happened during the last fourteen weeks in the life of Hollywood's legendary sex goddess. Recreating the drama of a bygone era of glamour and intrigue, it presents compelling evidence that Marilyn Monroe was the victim of two conspiracies that, together, brought about her professional and personal downfall: an elaborate scheme on the part of a once-mighty film studio teetering on the brink of bankruptcy; and an even more sinister plot masterminded by America's First Family. Among the shattering, totally authenticated revelations: the searing details of Marilyn's affairs with John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, including her famous birthday song to JFK and her final series of rendezvous with RFK; how Marilyn was sabotaged by executives of 20th Century-Fox and psychologically shredded on the set by a predatory pack led by vengeful director George Cukor; how the cruel competition between Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor sealed Marilyn's fate with the studio bosses; the role the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service played in blanketing the scene of her death and in the disposal of her private papers and personal effects; and why the accidental overdose theory cannot stand. Just as affecting as these and other eyeopening new facts is the way that Marilyn herself comes to life again. Marilyn, confidently in love, not hesitating to phone her powerful lover when he was with hiswife. Marilyn, the ultimate professional, an actress at the peak of her talent and beauty. Marilyn without makeup, fresh and funny and unspoiled. Marilyn, tormented by her past and her private demons, seeking escape in alcohol and pills, and release in her art. Complete with 16 pages of stunning photos, many never seen before, this is an unforgettable portrait of Marilyn Monroe as she deserves to be remembered - the way she really was.

    Recht en vrijheid

    Recht en vrijheid

    Paperback met flappen als nieuw. Met illustraties van Ruben L. Oppenheimer.

    Wat hebben dopingtests in de wielersport, de verzamelwoede van Google en de geluidscontouren van Schiphol gemeen? Ze roepen vragen op over het rechtsgehalte en de toepasbaarheid van het recht. Bepalend daarvoor is respect voor de vrijheid van de burger. Die staat niet alleen op het spel bij de grote juridische dossiers zoals euthanasie, terrorismebestrijding of de minderhedenproblematiek, maar ook bij praktische zaken als dopingtests en geluidsnormen. Frank Kuitenbrouwer analyseert aan de hand van actuele thema's waar het recht en de vrijheid elkaar versterken of met elkaar botsen.

    Recht & Vrijheid is een keuze van de beste juridische columns die Frank Kuitenbrouwer over deze thema's schreef voor NRC Handelsblad onder de titel Lex et Libertas. Hij behandelt vooral kwesties die onderbelicht dreigen te blijven. Met name de schending van privacy en andere burgerrechten in onze digitale samenleving zit hem hoog. Recht & Vrijheid is een boek voor juristen en voor niet-juristen. Het zet juristen aan het denken over de grote thema's in hun vak. En het geeft niet-juristen op uiterst toegankelijke wijze inzicht in de mechanismen van het recht.

    Frank Kuitenbrouwer (1940) schreef meer dan dertig jaar voor NRC Handelsblad over juridische zaken. Als commentator schreef hij honderden van de ongesigneerde 'hoofdredactionele commentaren' die verschijnen onder het motto Lux et Libertas. Kuitenbrouwer studeerde rechten in Utrecht en was in 1982 de eerste winnaar van de Persprijs Jacques van Veen voor justitieverslaggeving. In 1990 was hij in Utrecht gasthoogleraar informatica en recht (Belle van Zuijlenleerstoel). Hij publiceerde in 1991 het boek Het recht om met rust gelaten te worden. Over privacy. Op de radio was hij regelmatig te horen in het legendarische programma Welingelichte kringen.
