Jan Willem Bos Livres

Hij overleefde negentien afgrijselijke jaren in een Chinees strafkamp, ontkwam naar de Verenigde Staten en reisde vijf keer undercover terug om de misstanden in de Chinese kampen - van dwangarbeid tot organenhandel - aan de kaak te stellen. De acties hadden succes. Toen hij in juni 1995 aan de Chinese grens werd gearresteerd was dat wereldnieuws. In maart 1996 ontving Harry Wu in Nederland de prestigieuze Geuzenpenning voor zijn vaak eenzame strijd tegen de Chinese autoriteiten. In "Troublemaker" vertelt Wu over zijn laatste geheime reis terug naar China en over zijn arrestatie aan de grens. Het leek of Wu dit maal voorgoed zou verdwijnen, maar na 66 spannende dagen zwichtte Peking voor de buitenlandse druk. Harry Wu vertelt met veek overtuigingskracht over zijn haast onvermoeibare inzet en drang om steeds weer terug te keren naar een land waar hij zijn leven niet zeker is. Een land waar de machthebbers hem zien als volksvijand nummer een: Troublemaker number 1.

Back after a four-year hiatus, New York Times best-selling author Scott Adams presents an outrageous look at work, home, and everyday life in his new book, Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel. Building on Dilbert’s theory that “All people are idiots,” Adams now says, “All people are idiots. And they are also weasels.” Just ask anyone who worked at Enron.In this book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant grey area between good moral behaviour and outright felonious activities. In the Weasel Zone, where most people reside, everything is misleading, but not exactly a lie. Building on his popular comic strip, Adams looks into work, home, and everyday life and exposes the way of the weasel for everyone to see. With appearances from all the regular comic strip characters, Adams and Dilbert are at the top of their game—master satirists who expose the truth while making us laugh our heads off.

For Step Fletcher, his pregnant wife DeAnne, and their three children, the move to tiny Steuben, North Carolina, offers new hope and a new beginning. But from the first, eight-year-old Stevie's life there is an unending parade of misery and disaster. Cruelly ostracized at his school, Stevie retreats further and further into himself -- and into a strange computer game and a group of imaginary friends. But there is something eerie about his loyal, invisible new playmates: each shares the name of a child who has recently vanished from the sleepy Southern town. And terror grows for Step and DeAnne as the truth slowly unfolds. For their son has found something savagely evil ... and it's coming for Stevie next.
