One of the great liberal politicians of the twentieth century, rediscovered in an important, definitive biography Hubert Humphrey (1911-1978) was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office he has been largely overlooked by biographers. His career encompassed three well known high points: the civil rights speech at the 1948 Democratic Convention that risked his political future; his shepherding of the 1964 Civil Rights Act through the Senate; and his near victory in the 1968 presidential election, one of the angriest and most divisive in the country's history. Historian Arnold A. Offner has explored vast troves of archival records to recapture Humphrey's life, giving us previously unknown details of the vice president's fractious relationship with Lyndon Johnson, showing how Johnson colluded with Richard Nixon to deny Humphrey the presidency, and describing the most neglected aspect of Humphrey's career: his major legislative achievements after returning to the Senate in 1970. This definitive biography rediscovers one of America's great political figures.

Gibt es so etwas wie ein Rezept für Erfolg? Managementberater Frank Arnold hat dazu diejenigen befragt, die sich mit Erfolg und Rezepten auskennen: Spitzenköche aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum. Geboten werden "Lebensrezepte", keine Kochrezepte. Die mit Michelin-Sternen (insgesamt über 120) und/oder Gault & Millau-Punkten Dekorierten sind für sich nicht nur Asse am Herd, sondern i.d.R. auch Manager einer Küche oder eines/mehrerer Restaurants. Neben fachlichen Qualitäten kommen also auch Führung, Strategie/Planung, Struktur und Unternehmenskultur dazu. Schon erstaunlich, wie unterschiedlich sich die rund 60 Chefs (darunter nur wenige Frauen) äussern, sei es zur Unternehmensführung, dem Nebeneinander von Familie und Beruf oder der ständigen Neugier. Neben dem eigentlichen "Rat" gibt es jeweils eine Kurzbiografie, Profitipps für Hobbyköche sowie Lesetipps (häufig von den Köchen selbst!). (2-3)
