Lou Reed has barely been lost for words. Over the past decade, he has re-invented himself, ditching his image as a drug-addicted poet of despair and emerging as a clear thinker whose decadent past is now a distant memory.

Amy Winehouse ist in den letzten Jahren zu einem der populärsten Stars der internationalen Musikszene avanciert. Der kometenhafte Aufstieg der Soul-Diva wird in ''Amy, Amy, Amy - Die Amy Winehouse-Story'' von dem renommierten Journalisten Nick Johnstone detailliert nachgezeichnet.Ihr Weg vom jungen Talent zur Mode und Musik prägenden Stil-Ikone brachte Amy Winehouse immer wieder in die Schlagzeilen.

Allzu oft sind dabei die faszinierende Stimme und die musikalische Begabung der jungen Musikerin in den Hintergrund geraten. Johnstones packende und unterhaltsame Biographie bemüht sich um Ausgewogenheit. Sie würdigt Amys einzigartige Musikalität, gibt aber auch ein unbeschöntes Spiegelbild ihrer vielfältigen persönlichen Krisen wieder.Nick Johnstone ist Autor von mehr als einem Dutzend Bücher; unter anderem verfasste er eine große Patti-Smith-Biografie. Er schreibt für The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, Mojo, Melody Maker, Junior, Hotdog, Zembla, Magnet, The Jewish Chronicle, The Jerusalem Post und Dazed & Confused. Johnstone, dessen Bücher in sechs Sprachen übersetzt wurden, lebt und arbeitet in London.

''When I was fourteen, I got drunk for the first time. Champagne drunk. My mouth was stretched in a smile so wide, that my jaw hurt. The sky had the colours of a bruise'' When Nick Johnstone got drunk for the first time at the age of fourteen he discovered a cure for the depression and anxiety that had been humming in his head since childhood. Over the next ten years he drank to overcome shyness, to make the world bearable, to get through the days and to get through the nights. He also began to cut himself and he began to lie. Intelligent, sensitive, from a loving family, neither he nor his countless doctors, psychiatrists, counsellors and therapists could understand where his disorders came from. Then, when he was twenty-four he was admitted into hospital. Stripped of his ''cure'', Nick Johnstone painfully began the process of recovery. Although love proves to be the strongest ''cure'' of all, this is a story with no tidy or happy endings . Honest and gripping, by turns stark and lyrical, A HEAD FULL OF BLUE powerfully evokes the often unfathomable psychology and behaviour that drives addiction, examining self-harm as a coping mechanism rather than a taboo. It is an unusual, moving and thought-provoking memoir.

Patti Smith is one of pop culture's true originals. The 1975 release of her debut album Horses signalled the start of a career full of passionate commitment, abrupt gear changes and unlikely collaborations which continues to flourish well into the 21st century.Nick Johnstone, respected music journalist and long time fan, unravels the story of the girl from Chicago who mixed poetry, underground theatre, jazz and rock, and who played a key role in shaping the New York punk scene of the mid-Seventies. From the home town experimental poems through street performance in Paris to high times in New York's Chelsea Hotel, from the quiet years in suburban Detroit with husband Fred 'Sonic' to her ascension to iconic status, the Patti Smith story is full of unexpected twists and turns. Nick Johnstone makes fascinating sense of a complex creative and produces a compelling insight into the life and times of a woman who has always refused to compromise. Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Shepherd and Bruce Springsteen are just a few who have become associated with the Patti Smith legend. She has toured with Bob Dylan, opened for the New York Dolls and duetted on record with R.E.M., written songs for movies and still produces albums off arresting originality.

For the last 30 years, analysis of the inner workings of the firm has been largely absent from economic assessments of environmental policy. Recent work has highlighted the importance of understanding a firm's commercial motivations, decision-making procedures and organizational structure when designing and implementing public environmental policies. Environmental Policy and Corporate Behaviour responds to this need, investigating the many internal challenges faced by firms seeking to implement new policies and achieve significant and long-lasting environmental progress.The authors provide an in-depth empirical analysis of an industrial survey undertaken in seven OECD countries (Japan, France, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Canada and the United States), spanning 4000 facilities in all manufacturing sectors, including small and medium-sized enterprises. They use their findings to illustrate the links between public (government) environmental policies and private (firm and facility) environmental management, investments, innovation and performance.With a specific focus on the public policy implications of the empirical findings, the book provides a foundation upon which to formulate public and corporate policy in the environmental sphere. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the book will appeal to academics and policymakers with an interest in economics of the environment, as well as presenting business and management perspectives.

A biography of the acclaimed, enigmatic actor who is poised to become a major movie star
Acclaimed for his good looks as much as his searing acting ability, Canadian actor Ryan Gosling first came to public attention at the age of 12 after beating 15,000 hopefuls to become a Mouseketeer in Disney''s Mickey Mouse Club. He spent his teenage years acting in nearly 200 television episodes before landing the lead role in the TV show Young Hercules, then moved into film with Remember the Titans. He found acclaim in the controversial independent film The Believer, which opened the door to a major role alongside Sandra Bullock in the thriller Murder by Numbers. Everything clicked with the 2004 box office hit The Notebook. The film turned Ryan into a Hollywood pin-up, and in the wake of its success he famously spent six months working in a Los Angeles sandwich shop to regain a sense of perspective. Since then, he has played one challenging role after another, including a suicidal young man (Stay), a drug-addicted school teacher (Half Nelson), and an alienated man whose only meaningful relationship is with a blow-up doll (Lars and the Real Girl), while inching towards mainstream success with acclaimed performances in films like Blue Valentine, Drive, Crazy Stupid Love, and Gangster Squad. Enigmatic and humble, with a legendary compulsion to lose himself in every role he takes on, this is the story of an actor who is incredibly close to his mother, plays in a band, co-owns a Moroccan restaurant in Beverly Hills, laughs off those who tag him a sex symbol, and shrugs at the widespread conviction that he''s this generation''s Marlon Brando.

The provision of water and sanitation services (WSS) in developing countries has traditionally been the preserve of the state, but recently there has been a move towards greater private sector participation (PSP).While the potential economic benefits of PSP are well-known, the authors extensively discuss the environmental and social implications unique to the sector. The focus of the book is on the crucial role public authorities must continue to play to guarantee sustainability, levels of service and access to a variety of consumers. The authors show how these objectives are realised in very different ways - and not always successfully - in developing countries. The authors critically review the current literature and include new case studies from Manila, Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Abidjan and Mexico City. Private Firms and Public Water will be of interest to regulatory officials, economists, development professionals and scholars, as well as government, business and NGOs.
