Portrait of a Phantom
While searching for vintage guitars on the internet, Zeke Schein came across what he believed was a photograph of one of the most influential blues musicians of all time. Schein, both a fan and historian of the Delta Blues, suspected that the image depicted the enigmatic Robert Johnson. His attempts to authenticate it inspired vitriolic debates among blues aficionados about its legitimacy. Schein's fascinating experiences documenting its history are entwined with his own journey of discovery and his unwavering belief in the truth of the image.
Portrait of a Phantom
The story of one man’s efforts to authenticate a photograph of the influential King of the Delta Blues amid pushback from others. After Zeke Schein purchased the lost photograph of Robert Johnson online, he knew he held something important in his hands. But would anyone else see what he saw? One of only three or four known photos of the legendary blues guitarist, the photograph was certainly an exceptional artifact of music history. Despite official recognition of its authenticity by the estate of Robert Johnson, music historians have continued to dispute the photograph’s legitimacy. The story of Johnson’s lost photograph is also the story of Schein’s crusade to prove he’s holding ...

Searching for Robert Johnson
This highly acclaimed biography from the author of Last Train to Memphis illuminates the extraordinary life of one of the most influential blues singers of all time, the legendary guitarist and songwriter whose music inspired generations of musicians, from Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones and beyond. The myth of Robert Johnson’s short life has often overshadowed his music. When he died in 1938 at the age of just twenty-seven, poisoned by the jealous husband of a woman he’d been flirting with at a dance, Johnson had recorded only twenty-nine songs. But those songs would endure as musical touchstones for generations of blues performers. With fresh insights and new information gleaned sin...
Die Reise der Narwhal
Der eigenbrötlerische Naturforscher Erasmus Wells verbringt seine Tage zwischen verstaubten Exponaten. Als ihm aber die Teilnahme an einer Arktisexpedition angeboten wird, wagt er sich aus seinem Kokon. Stolz werden große Ziele verkündet, doch je tiefer sie in den Norden vordringen, desto bedrohlicher wird die Umgebung. Unaufhaltsam schließt sich der arktische Winter um das Schiff. Die undurchdringliche Polarnacht, die krachende Kälte, die bläulich graue Kargheit des Eises. Wissenschaftliche Neugier weicht der Angst, eine falsche Entscheidung zu treffen und das Leben aller in Gefahr zu bringen. Barrett erzählt vom Forschen und Scheitern, vom Verstehen und Missverstehen einer anderen Kultur und nicht zuletzt von der Bedeutung der Frauen im Schatten der gefeierten Entdecker.

Building the Future
Niccolò Machiavelli famously wrote, "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." That's what this book is about--innovation far more audacious than a new way to find a restaurant or a smart phone you can wear on your wrist. Harvard professor Amy Edmondson and journalist Susan Salter Reynolds explore how to bring into being systems that transform human experience and make the world more livable and sustainable. This demands "big teaming": intense collaboration across professions and industries that may have completely different mindsets and even be antagonistic...
