Stationed on the Russian Front and now equipped with armoured vehicles, Sven Hassel and his comrades from the 27th Penal Regiment fight on remorselessly... All of them should be dead: Life expectancy on the Russian Front is measured in weeks. But Sven, Porta, Tiny and The Legionnaire fight to the end, not for Germany, not for Hitler, but for survival. Wheels of Terror is a sobering depiction of war's brutalities, and the violence and inhumanity that the history books leave out.

Steve Jobs tried to stop this moment from ever happening. Google and Microsoft made bids to preempt it. The music industry blocked it time and again. Yet, on a summer's eve in 2011, the whiz-kid CEO of a Swedish start-up celebrated his company's US launch. In the midst of the Apple-Android tech war and a music-label crusade against piracy and illegal downloading, Spotify redrew the battle lines, sent shock waves through Silicon Valley, and got the hardline executives at Universal, Sony, and Warner to sign with its "free-mium" platform.

During the 19th century, the United States entered the ranks of the world's most advanced and dynamic economies. At the same time, the nation sustained an expansive and brutal system of human bondage. This was no mere coincidence. Slavery's Capitalism argues for slavery's centrality to the emergence of American capitalism in the decades between the Revolution and the Civil War.

To make these big moves happen for your company, you’re going to have to break through inertia, gamesmanship, and risk aversion. You’re going to have to mitigate human biases and manage group dynamics. Eight practical shifts can help you do this, and unlock bigger, bolder, better strategies. This is not another by-the-book approach to strategy. It’s not another trudge through frameworks or small-scale case studies promising a secret formula for success. It’s an irreverent, fact-driven, and humorous take on the real world of strategic decision making.

Here is the story of how, beginning well before the advent of machine production in the 1780s, these men captured ancient trades and skills in Asia, combined them with the expropriation of lands in the Americas and the enslavement of African workers to crucially recast the disparate realms of cotton that had existed for millennia. We see how industrial capitalism then reshaped these worlds of cotton into an empire, and how this empire transformed the world.

A special command from the convict regiment, wearing Russian uniforms, take over four Russian T-34 tanks. Remote reconnaissance far behind the Russian lines in Caucasus. The year is 1942. Hour for hour, the tanks roll eastward. Several times, Russian departments challenge them. We follow the soldiers in their desperate struggle to find their way back to the German lines. The distances are great, the friends are few and death is always right behind them.

En 2011, Daniel Ek, el joven fundador de Spotify, por fin logró el lanzamiento de su compañía en Estados Unidos, a pesar de que Steve Jobs había hecho lo posible porque ese momento nunca sucediera. La startup sueca había entrado al campo de batalla para cambiar las reglas del juego en el negocio de la música. Spotify apenas había ganado una batalla, pero aún no la guerra.

Porta struggles to keep the heavy tank between the marching soldiers. One moment of inattention, and he will bulldoze an entire company. An enormous fireball strikes the bushes in front of the vehicle. The panzer soldiers jump head first from the tanks for cover. With frightened eyes and beating hearts they lay in the sun, waiting for death. A great wall of fire rises towards the sky. - Stalin organ, Heide mumbles terrified. Porta speeds up the engine. The tank plows through sun and water. They are near Moscow, 1941.

A landmark event eight years in the making, a brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years of human history.

We hear the crawlers closing in. A T-34. They must have seen us, Tiny whispers. - Stay low until it is right here, then we run! The horrible clattering of the crawler comes closer and closer. I know this fear, creeping up the spine. It will mean certain death if they run just one second too soon. How we get up, I don't know, the legs move automatically. The tank wiggles over the hole and crushes everything in it. Then it rumbles on.

It feels as if the entire area is blown up. A long rumbling explosion shakes the German position. Then an infernal scream sounds. Through flashes of fire, they see Tiny's huge silhouette with the light grey bowler on his head. He is standing by the end of the enemy trench with his machine gun resting on his hip. The tracer streak projectiles shoot out of the muzzle. Bewildered shapes flee in panic. - What a bunch of devils, the Russian lieutenant exclaims in admiration.

Findus wünscht sich so sehr, dass der Weihnachtsmann zu ihm kommt! Natürlich möchte Pettersson seinen kleinen Freund nicht enttäuschen. Aber sein Versprechen ist gar nicht so einfach einzuhalten. Darum geht es im Tischlerschuppen hoch her in den Tagen vor Weihnachten. Da wird gezeichnet und gesägt, gehämmert und gebohrt. Dann kommt zwar doch alles anders als geplant, aber manchmal geschehen eben Dinge, die kann man nicht erklären.

Sven Regener ist ein komischer und zugleich beklemmender Roman gelungen, der uns über den Aufbruch seines Helden in eine verwirrende Zukunft die frühen achtziger Jahre von einer Seite nahebringt, die wir erfolgreich verdrängt zu haben glaubten.

I den första delen av två om Sveriges konung Gustav Vasa behandlas tiden mellan hans födelse 1496 och fram till 1540. Vi får följa hans barndom, genom upproret mot danskarna i Dalarna fram till hans kröning den 6 juni 1523. Vidare genom reformationen, reduktionen och alla uppror mot honom, genomförda av de som inte gillade hans styre och önskan om förändring. Vid den första delens slut är relationen med Danmark mycket ansträngd, något som snart kom att leda till konflikt.
