EBONY is the flagship magazine of Johnson Publishing. Founded in 1945 by John H. Johnson, it still maintains the highest global circulation of any African American-focused magazine.
Catfights, temper, tantrums, felonies - from Naomi Campbell to Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson to Britney Spears - they're all here in scandalous detail. The only collection of highlights - or, rather, lowlights - of the world's most famous people as they've temporarily lost their cool in public displays of outrageously bad behaviour.
Veteran broadcaster Lisa Brandt has booked and interviewed thousands of guests. She knows firsthand that people in the media are deluged with pitches for airtime and print space. Sometimes, what's offered is of value to them. Other times, it's not. The media must keep its listeners, viewers and readers in mind while making these decisions. PR reps, publicists, business owners and artists have to make a business case. But too often, they have no idea how to do it or who they're pitching to. Or worse, they expect the media personnel to do the work for them. Make the Media Want You takes the mystery out of the process from the pitch to the interview and everything in between. It includes examples of good and bad interviews, major mistakes to avoid and insider tips on how to approach an overworked, overtired broadcaster or journalist. Hint: Bribes don't work. But Lisa will share what does.
They call them the Apex – humanity’s replacement. They’re smarter, faster, better. And infinitely more dangerous. Global unrest spreads as mass protests advance throughout the US and China, Nexus-upgraded riot police battle against upgraded protestors, and a once-dead scientist plans to take over the planet’s electronic systems. The world has never experienced turmoil of this type, on this scale. Humanity is dying. Long live the Apex.

A Past Without Shadow examines 50 years of German children's books in which the darkest horrors of the Third Reich have routinely remained hidden. The horrors of the Third Reich are systematically screened and filtered, allowing the darker, bleaker parts of history to escape illumination. Here Zohar Shavit explores 345 German books for children describing the Third Reich and the Holocaust, and finds a shocking distortion of the past: a recurrent narrative which suggests that the Germans themselves had no hand in the suffering inflicted on the Jews. These books, Shavit argues, have created the false historical lesson that the real victims of Hitler's crimes were the German people themselves. First published to great acclaim in Hebrew and now available in English, this book is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about German children's literature and its responsibility to past and future.
