Michael Wolff Libri

Nel novembre 2016, l'elezione di Donald Trump alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti dà il via a un vero uragano nella politica americana, il più violento dai tempi del Watergate. Per documentarne gli effetti, Michael Wolff, giornalista di Washington che già durante la campagna elettorale aveva frequentato il quartier generale di Trump, si installa sui divani della Casa Bianca e osserva da vicino, "come una mosca sul muro", le azioni e le discussioni tra lo staff e il presidente. Il suo scopo è raccogliere confidenze esplosive non solo sulle faide interne che portano al licenziamento di strateghi di primo piano come Steve Bannon, l'anima nera della campagna elettorale, ma anche sui rapporti tra lo staff di Trump e la Russia e sui giudizi impietosi che i più stretti collaboratori danno del loro capo. Il risultato è un libro che Trump ha tentato invano di bloccare e che è diventato un caso mondiale perché racconta da una prospettiva unica la storia appassionante di un mandato imprevedibile e impetuoso quanto il presidente stesso.

The book chronicles the remarkable journey of jazz master Michael Wolff, detailing his triumph over personal and health challenges, including Tourette's syndrome and cancer.

This is about the rise and fall of an entrepreneur in the early 1990s and is full of inside information on an extraordinary period.

In a career spanning four decades Rupert Murdoch has built News International into a $70 billion corporation. Through a series of breathtaking gambles he expanded from his base in the Australian newspaper business to achieve a preeminent position in the UK's media, and to control a huge slice of Hollywood. Increasingly his company has built a presence in online and digital media, most recently through its acquisition of MySpace, and he is steadily expanding into Southeast Asia. But Murdoch is more than a predatory and merciless deal-maker. His company does not only generate dizzying profits and growth rates. His company generates the information that forms our understanding of the world. He presides over what we read, what we watch, what we come to believe about ourselves, to an extent that is without serious parallel anywhere on earth. In the words of Michael Wolff, Murdoch 'held more power over more time than any other contemporary figure'. Working with unrivalled access to Murdoch himself, his family, and his inner circle of advisors, Wolff shows how Murdoch came to wield this power and the uses he has made of it. Murdoch has become almost invisible behind the strong emotions he provokes. Now Wolff's account reveals the qualities that took Murdoch to the top of the world and have kept him there. In doing so he tells a business story that is also the story of a man's life, and the story of our times.

"The final days of the Trump presidency"--Jacket.

In the 1990s, launching an Internet business was a thrilling path to rapid wealth for risk-takers. The fast-paced economy allowed ideas to transform overnight into significant market value, but for entrepreneurs, the pressure was immense as cash dwindled and the odds of success diminished. Michael Wolff, a pioneer in new media, experienced this firsthand while building his own company. His journey captures the essence of entrepreneurship during a transformative era, marked by the founding of Wired magazine, the launch of Time Warner's Pathfinder, and the rivalry between East Coast content and West Coast technology. As the Internet landscape evolved, the financial viability of new ventures fluctuated dramatically, exemplified when Wired failed to launch its stock, triggering a crisis for many startups. Wolff found himself in a precarious position with his company’s future hanging by a thread. With a ticking clock and dwindling resources, he had to secure a crucial deal. Through sharp wit, Wolff illustrates the harsh realities of capitalism, where venture capitalists, while offering support, often prioritize their own profits over the entrepreneur's interests. Along his journey, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, from visionaries to investors, revealing the complexities of building and sustaining a business in an unpredictable environment. Ultimately, he learns that his creativity and hard work may only grant him a sma

With FIRE AND FURY, Michael Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in SIEGE, he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side.

Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in America. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic Trump presidency Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide the journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable. Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old billionaire concerned about his legacy, but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious children, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put Trump back in office. While presenter Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in a man's world.

TOO FAMOUS collects pieces Michael Wolff has written as a columnist for New York, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, GQ and The Hollywood Reporter, and adds several new ones. Written over a 20-year period, the book spans that moment in popular culture when personal attention became one of the world's most valuable commodities, and ending with Donald Trump, fame's most hyperbolic exponent. Some of these pieces exist in the amber of a particular news moment, some as character portraits - as colourful now as when they were written - and some as lasting observations about human nature and folly. The common ground all of these thrilling stories share is that everyone in this book is a creature of, or creation of, the media. They don't exist as who we see them as, and who they want to be, without the media.

Meet the Murdochs, the dysfunctional family behind Fox News, once a dominant media and political force in America, now facing a crumbling empire. Michael Wolff, known for his captivating trilogy on the Trump presidency, offers an unprecedented look into the Murdoch family and their influential world. This exploration reveals Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old billionaire, preoccupied with his legacy yet primarily driven by profit.

Wolff's book defends the Kantian idea of a „general logic“ whose principles underlie special systems of deductive logic. It thus undermines „logical pluralism,“ which tolerates the co-existence of divergent systems of modern logic without asking for consistent common principles. Part I of Wolff’s book identifies the formal language in which the most general principles of logic must be expressed. This language turns out to be a version of syllogistic language already used by Aristotle. The universal validity of logical principles, as well as the translatability of other logical languages into this language, are shown to depend only on the meanings of its logical vocabulary. Part II of the book answers the metalogical question concerning the deductive relation between general logic and special logical systems, which also have their own (less general) principles. This part identifies the rules according to which logical rules can be derived from principles. The main result of the book is that the highest principles of logic and metalogics are provided by the syllogistic, when properly understood.

Michael Wolff zeigt in seinem Buch, wie ein seit dem 19. Jahrhundert diskutiertes Problem in Bezug auf Hegels Lehre vom Widerspruch gelöst werden kann. Es wird untersucht, wie sich Hegels Konzept des Widerspruchs zur logischen Grundbegrifflichkeit verhält. Wolff widerspricht dem Missverständnis, dass Hegels Logik einen neuartigen Begriff „dialektischer“ Widersprüche einführt, und widerlegt den Vorwurf, dass dieser Begriff auf logischer Verwirrung beruht und die Unterscheidungen in der Syllogistik sowie Kants Oppositionstheorie ignoriert. Tatsächlich wird in Hegels Werken nicht von dialektischen Widersprüchen gesprochen. Ein zentrales Anliegen von Hegels Wissenschaft der Logik ist die Klärung dessen, was ein (logischer) Widerspruch ist. Wolff zeigt, dass Hegels Ansatz auf einer kritischen Würdigung der Oppositionstheorie basiert, die Kant in seiner Kritik der reinen Vernunft entwickelt hat. Der erste Teil des Buches bietet eine detaillierte Analyse dieser Theorie, während der zweite Teil Hegels Begriffe des Gegensatzes und Widerspruchs in seiner Logik und Enzyklopädie behandelt. Es wird deutlich, dass Hegels Erklärung des arithmetischen Begriffs der Negativität, der auch in Kants Theorie eine zentrale Rolle spielt, für seine Kantkritik von grundlegender Bedeutung ist. Dadurch werden interessante systematische Verbindungen zwischen Mathematik, formaler Logik und Hegelscher Dialektik sichtbar.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Только на английском языке продано более 2 200 000 экземпляров книги Книга Майкла Волфа "Огонь и ярость.

Журналист описывает различные интриги и закулисные игры в Белом доме, приводит самые нелицеприятные высказывания соратников президента друг о друге и о нем самом. События, здесь описанные, основаны на беседах, что я вел полтора года с президентом, почти со всеми членами его штаба и со многими людьми, с которыми, в свою очередь, беседовали они.

Es ist das Enthüllungsbuch, das die Präsidentschaft von Donald Trump erschüttert: Michael Wolffs «Feuer und Zorn» ist ein eindrucksvolles Sittengemälde der amerikanischen Politik unter Trump. Im Mittelpunkt ein Präsident, den seine Mitarbeiter wie ein kleines Kind behandeln, und der umgeben ist von Inkompetenz, Intrigen und Verrat. Der Bestseller-Autor Wolff beschreibt das Chaos, das in den ersten Monaten im Weißen Haus geherrscht hat, er enthüllt, wie nah die Russland-Verbindung an Trump herangerückt ist und wie es zum Rauswurf des FBI-Chefs Comey kam. Und er liefert erstaunliche Details über das Privatleben dieses Präsidenten. Über zweihundert Interviews hat Wolff mit den engsten Mitarbeitern des US-Präsidenten geführt, darunter auch der ehemalige Chef-Berater Stephen Bannon: Noch nie ist es einem Journalisten gelungen, das Geschehen im Weißen Haus so genau nachzuzeichnen. Herausgekommen ist das einzigartige Porträt eines Präsidenten, der selbst nie damit gerechnet hat, die Wahl zu gewinnen. Michael Wolffs Bericht aus dem Weißen Haus unter Trump ist in den USA ein Bestseller: ein aktuelles politisches Buch, das sich wie ein Königsdrama von Shakespeare liest.

Die Frage nach dem „einzigen, richtigen“ Logiksystem wird von Logikern oft zurückgewiesen: Eine solche Logik existiert nicht. Michael Wolff behandelt diese Frage jedoch anders, indem er die Methode der logisch-semantischen Sprachanalyse auf die Sprachen der Logik anwendet. Diese Analyse zeigt, dass die Ansicht von Frege, Hilbert und anderen, das logische Vokabular der Syllogistik sei ohne Bedeutungsänderung durch wahrheitsfunktionale und quantorenlogische Ausdrücke sowie durch Ausdrücke des Klassenkalküls ersetzbar, nicht haltbar ist. Das logische Vokabular der Syllogistik reicht aus, um alle gültigen Regeln und Gesetze der deduktiven Logik wiederzugeben. Im Gegensatz dazu erweisen sich Regeln und Gesetze, die nur in der Sprache moderner „klassischer“ und „nicht-klassischer“ Logik formuliert werden können, als nicht allgemeingültig, da ihre Gültigkeit nicht ausschließlich auf der Bedeutung des verwendeten logischen Vokabulars beruht. Diese Systeme setzen implizit die Gültigkeit der Syllogistik voraus und sind aus ihr ableitbar. Wolff zeigt detailliert, wie diese Ableitung exakt und lückenlos zu bewerkstelligen ist, indem er eine Methode anwendet, die bereits in der Schule des Aristoteles entwickelt wurde.

Dieses Lehrbuch erklärt allgemeinverständlich Grundlagen und Aufbau der Theorie des deduktiven Schliessens und behandelt klassische Aussagen- und Prädikatenlogik. Es ist für philosophisch interessierte Leserinnen und Leser geschrieben, die nicht nur diverse Kalküle kennenlernen wollen, sondern auch verstehen möchten, welche Regeln und Gesetze ihnen allen gemeinsam zugrunde liegen. Es erklärt, worin das Formale der formalen Logik eigentlich besteht. Die Einführung wird ergänzt durch Empfehlungen zu weiterer Lektüre, einem Glossar symbolischer Ausdrücke, einem Verzeichnis der Definitionen logischer Ausdrücke und einem Verzeichnis der logischen Grundregeln.

TRIUMPH DES CHAOS: WARUM DONALD TRUMPS WAHLSIEG UNVERMEIDBAR WAR – UND WAS ER FÜR DIE WELT BEDEUTET bietet einen fesselnden Einblick in Donald Trumps zweite Präsidentschaft, die als eines der größten politischen Comebacks gilt. Journalist und Bestsellerautor Michael Wolff begleitet Trump wie kein anderer und gewährt Einblicke in die Welt von Mar-a-Lago, Gerichtssälen und dem Trump Tower. Leser erleben Trumps Ausbrüche, Geistesblitze und seine täglichen Golfrunden, während sie seine schillernde Entourage kennenlernen, die nun in Washington Einfluss hat. Die Realität, in der Trump agiert, ist gespalten: Trotz juristischer Probleme und Anklagen erhält er bedingungslose Unterstützung von seiner Partei, während die Umfragewerte steigen und die Opposition schwächelt. Wolff zeigt, dass Trumps Erfolg auf einem schmalen Grat zwischen Tragödie und Farce beruht. Sein Verhalten ist so unkontrolliert und erratisch, dass es die Regeln des politischen Lebens außer Kraft setzt. Das Buch ist ein eindringliches Zeugnis der Dämonen, des Unfriedens und der Anarchie in Amerika unter Trump. Es ist ein investigativer Politthriller, der tief in die Abgründe des Trump-Universums eintaucht und einen Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Gesellschaft bietet, die Trump hervorgebracht hat.
