      Beim Schreiben kann man alles falsch, aber nie alles richtig machen. Beim literarischen und wissenschaftlichen Schreiben sind Regeln wichtig, aber vielmehr noch die Kreativität. Auch ein Fachtext erzählt, und ein Roman antwortet auf Fragen. Betreuende von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten, Schreibcoachs und Lektor*innen zeigen in ihren Beiträgen, dass kreatives Schreiben in allen Formaten ein unverzichtbares Denk-, Lern- und Ausdrucksinstrument ist.

    • 2010

      Billionaire oil trader Marc Rich for the first time talks at length about his private life (including his expensive divorce from wife Denise); his invention of the spot oil market, which made his fortune and changed the world economy; his lucrative and unpublicized dealings with Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, Fidel Castro's Cuba, war-ravaged Angola, and apartheid South Africa; his quiet cooperation with the Israeli and U.S. governments (even after he was indicted for tax fraud by Rudy Guiliani) and near-comical attempts by U.S. officials to kidnap him illegally. This sure-to-make-headlines book is the first no-holds-barred biography of Rich, who was famously pardoned by Bill Clinton, and resurfaced in the news during the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Eric Holder. The King of Oil sheds stunning new light on one of the most controversial international businessmen of all time.
