    The Many Saints of Newark
    Mit dem Kinofilm 'The Many Saints of Newark' legt 'New Line Cinema' das mit Spannung erwartete Spielfilm-Prequel zur wegweisenden, preisgekrönten HBO-Dramaserie 'Die Sopranos' vor. Der junge Anthony 'Tony' Soprano (Michael Gandolfini) wächst in einer der turbulentesten Phasen in der Geschichte 'Newarks' auf. Er ist gerade erst ein junger Mann, als rivalisierende Gangster beginnen, die Vorherrschaft des mächtigen DiMeo-Verbrecherclans infrage zu stellen. Zugleich erschüttern heftige Rassenkonflikte die Stadt. Mittendrin in diesen Zeiten des Wandels ist Anthonys geliebter Onkel Richard 'Dickie' Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), der damit zu kämpfen hat, seine beruflichen und privaten Verpflichtungen miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Dickies Einfluss auf seinen Neffen ist es schließlich, der aus dem unbedarften Teenager den übermächtigen Mafiaboss macht, den wir später kennenlernen werden: Tony Soprano... Zu sehen sind in 'The Many Saints of Newark' (2021) von Regisseur Alan Taylor, der hier als Sopranos-Prequel die Gründerjahre des New Jersey Gangsters Tony Soprano in den sechziger Jahren erzählt, die Schauspielstars Alessandro Nivola (aus 'Ungehorsam und 'American Hustle'), Tony-Gewinner Leslie Odom Jr. (Broadway-Stück 'Hamilton', 'Mord im Orient-Express'), Jon Bernthal ('Baby Driver', 'The Wolf of Wall Street'), Corey Stoll ('Aufbruch zum Mond', 'Ant-Man'), Michael Gandolfini (aus der Serie 'The Deuce'), Billy Magnussen ('Game Night', 'The Big Short'), Michela De Rossi ('Boys Cry', Serie 'The Rats'), John Magaro ('The Finest Hours', 'Not Fade Away') sowie Emmy-Preisträger Ray Liotta (Serie 'Shades of Blue', 'GoodFellas - Drei Jahrzehnte in der Mafia') und Oscar-Kandidatin Vera Farmiga ('Up in the Air', die 'Conjuring' Filmreihe). Alan Taylor (siehe 'Thor 2 - The Dark Kingdom'), der für seine Regiearbeit an 'Die Sopranos' mit einem 'Emmy' ausgezeichnet wurde, nahm auch bei 'The Many Saints of Newark' auf dem Regiestuhl Platz.

    Panic!: The Story of Modern Financial Insanity, Hörbuch, Digital, 421min
    A masterful account of today's money culture, showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe. When it comes to markets, the first deadly sin is greed. Michael Lewis is our jungle guide through five of the most violent and costly upheavals in recent financial history: the crash of '87, the Russian default (and the subsequent collapse of Long-Term Capital Management), the Asian currency crisis of 1999, the Internet bubble, and the current sub-prime mortgage disaster. With his trademark humor and brilliant anecdotes, Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at the time, and then, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and what we should have learned from experience. As he proved in Liar's Poker, The New New Thing, and Moneyball, Lewis is without peer in his understanding of market forces and human foibles. He is also, arguably, the funniest serious writer in America. Language: English. Narrator: Blair Hardman, Jesse Boggs.

    The Big Short. Movie Tie-in
    The No.1 New York Times Bestseller - Now a Major Motion Picture from Paramount Pictures:From the author of The Blind Side and Moneyball, The Big Short tells the story of four outsiders in the world of high-finance who predict the credit and housing bubble collapse before anyone else. The film adaptation by Adam McKay (Anchorman I and II, The Other Guys) features Academy Award winners Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Melissa Leo and Marisa Tomei; Academy Award nominees Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling.When the crash of the U.S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread. Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? In this fitting sequel to Liar's Poker, Michael Lewis answers that question in a narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor.

    From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Heat, Travel Team, and Million-Dollar Throw comes a story of every football kid's dream come true. 12-year-old Charlie is a fantasy football guru. He may be just a bench warmer for his school's football team, but when it comes to knowing and loving the game, he's first-string. He even becomes a celebrity when his podcast gets noticed by a sports radio host, who plays Charlie's fantasy picks for all of Los Angeles to hear. Soon Charlie befriends the elderly owner of the L.A. Bulldogs - a fictional NFL team - and convinces him to take a chance on an aging quarterback. After that, watch out...it's press conferences and national fame as Charlie becomes a media curiosity and source of conflict for the Bulldogs general manager, whose job Charlie seems to have taken.

    Astroball: The New Way to Win It All , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
    New York Times best sellerThe inside story of the Houston Astros, whose relentless innovation took them from the worst team in baseball to the World Series in 2017 and 2019 “Reiter’s superb narrative of how the team got there provides powerful insights into how organizations - not just baseball clubs - work best.” (The Wall Street Journal)Astroball picks up where Michael Lewis’s acclaimed Moneyball leaves off, telling the thrilling story of a championship team that pushed both the sport and business of baseball to the next level. In 2014, the Astros were the worst baseball team in half a century, but just three years later they defied critics to win a stunning World Series. In this book, Ben Reiter shows how the Astros built a system that avoided the stats-versus-scouts divide by giving the human factor a key role in their decision-making. Sitting at the nexus of sports, business, and innovation, Astroball is the story of the next wave of thinking in baseball and beyond, at once a remarkable underdog tale and a fascinating look at the cutting edge of evaluating and optimizing human potential.  ungekürzt.

    Sensemaking: What Makes Human Intelligence Essential in the Age of the Algorithm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix - a maths whiz who will crack open an industry with clean, fact-based analysis rather than human intuition and experience. As a result we have stopped thinking. Machines do it for us. Christian Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks stunning deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. Blind devotion to number crunching imperils our businesses, our educations, our governments, and our life savings. Too many companies have lost touch with the humanity of their customers while marginalising workers with arts-based skills. Contrary to popular thinking, Madsbjerg shows how many of today's biggest success stories stem not from 'quant' thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking. In this landmark book, Madsbjerg lays out five principles for how business leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals can use it to solve their thorniest problems. He profiles companies using sensemaking to connect with new customers and takes listeners inside the work process of sensemaking 'connoisseurs' like investor George Soros, architect Bjarke Ingels, and others. Both practical and philosophical, Sensemaking is a powerful rejoinder to corporate groupthink and an indispensable resource for leaders and innovators who want to stand out from the pack. ungekürzt.

    The Real Madrid Way: How Values Created the Most Successful Sports Team on the Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
    Real Madrid is the most successful sports team on the planet. The soccer club has more trophies than any other sports team, including 11 UEFA Champions League trophies. However, the story behind the triumph goes beyond the players and coaches. Generally unnoticed, a management team consisting mostly of outsiders took the team from near bankruptcy to the most valuable sports organization in the world. How did Real Madrid achieve such extraordinary success? Columbia Business School adjunct professor Steven G. Mandis investigates. Given unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, Mandis is the first researcher to rigorously analyze both the on-the-field and business aspects of a sports team. What he learns is completely unexpected and challenges the conventional wisdom that moneyball-fueled data analytics are the primary instruments of success. Instead, Real Madrid's winning formula both on and off the field, from player selection to financial management, is based on aligning strategy with the culture and values of its fan base. Chasing the most talented (and most expensive) players can be a recipe for a winning record, but also financial disaster, as it was for Real Madrid in the late 1990s. Real Madrid's management believes that the club exists to serve the Real Madrid community. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Constant.
