Nate er min nabo og en af mine bedste venner, selvom vi ser forskelligt på det meste.Som skilsmisseadvokat elsker han at fortælle mig, at min drøm om ’den eneste ene’ er – ja, en drøm, en helt urealistisk fantasi. Og som bryllupsplanlægger elsker jeg at fortælle ham, at han tager fejl.Hvor jeg tror på kærlighed med stort K, tror han på onenightstands og på ikke at få følelser i klemme. Men da en ny kvinde kommer ind i hans liv – en meget lille og skrigende en af slagsen, et uventet resultat af et af hans mange kvindebekendtskaber – må han revurdere sin strategi, når det kommer til følelser. Og jeg må revurdere min opfattelse af ham.Når jeg ser ham med sin datter, ser jeg til min overraskelse en anden side af Nate. En side, der får mit hjerte til at banke hurtigere, min krop til at hige efter hans og mit hjerte til at længes efter, at han ændrer mening om kærlighed og fortæller mig, at vi har en chance.Men tør han sætte sit hjerte på spil? Tør jeg?Dette er første bind i Kun dig-serien af Melanie Harlow."Kun dig er et frisk pust!" – The Escapist Book Blog"Bogen har den rigtige mængde drama, lidenskab og sjove øjeblikke." – The Bookish Sisters"Hot.

Having moved his family from England to Detroit and opened a foreign car dealership, Spencer’s life was derailed by the death of his beloved wife. Now disconnected from his young daughter and losing control of the cocktail of drugs and alcohol that gets him through the day, he only just keeps Child Protective Services at bay while his business teeters on the edge of bankruptcy.Then he has a seemingly chance encounter with a charismatic but lethal gangster, Dominic McGrath. Feeling the squeeze from informants, the rise of tech surveillance, and a hotshot detective who’s made busting him a personal crusade, McGrath’s been planning a last heist that would allow a comfortable retirement, provided he can find a very special type of driver—one who’s capable, trustworthy . . . and naïve.

But it comes at a price; Spencer finds himself playing in an arena where rookies don’t last long. Wising up to the ruthlessness behind McGrath’s charming façade, he tries to break free, but McGrath has too much invested to allow him to leave.As the city swelters in a heat wave, the two men apply their considerable talents to besting each other, while mistakenly assuming they have only each other to beat.

This unique, visually exciting look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture-the one constant is change. Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, "Temporary Pleasure" shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before. Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and location: Italy's politically radical clubs of the '60s; New York City's disco scene; Detroit and Chicago's techno and house paradises; Ibiza's counterculture communal retreats; Britain's rave culture; and Berlin's techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design, and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester's legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.

Das Künstlerbuch Detroit zeigt die zeitgenössische Stadtlandschaft der deindustrialisierten Metropole Detroit als Überlagerung von Sozial- und Naturgeschichte. "Ruin Porn" und "Future City" sind Schlagwörter, unter denen die ehemalige Motor City aktuell medial gefasst wird. In den Fotografien und Texten beschreibt Franziska Klose sie als eine von der Industrie bedingungslos verbrauchte Landschaft, in deren Struktur sich, ungeachtet aller Beschwörungen einer kommenden Konjunktur, soziale Ungleichheit manifestiert. Die Erzählung vom "Comeback" wird kontrastiert durch Grundstücksspekulationen und Water Shutoffs aber auch durch das Entstehen einer möglichen Postwachstumsgesellschaft auf Basis urbaner Landwirtschaft und Selbstbestimmung. Franziska Klose ist Künstlerin und Fotografin. Seit 2010 arbeitet sie zu postindustriellen Landschaften.-The artist's book Detroit presents the contemporary urban landscape of this de- industrialized metropolis as an overlay of social and natural history. The catchwords "ruin porn" and "future city" are currently being used in the media to describe what was once celebrated as the "Motor City". In her photographs and texts, Franziska Klose describes a landscape absolutely consumed by industry, its structure a manifestation of social inequality, despite all the conjurations of an imminent economic boom. The story of the "comeback" is set against land speculation and water shut-offs and contrasts with the emergence of a potential post-growth society based on urban agriculture and individual autonomy. Franziska Klose is an artist and photographer. She has been working with post- industrial landscapes since 2010.
