111 Places in Milwaukee That You Must Not Miss - Michelle Madden - Bog - Emons Verlag GmbH - Plusbog.dk

Just as its nickname, ''cream city'', has nothing to do with beer or dairy, the city of Milwaukee itself is fraught with surprises. While it is undoubtedly the jovial land of beer and cheese (and brats, bowling and The Brewers, for that matter) the city is also a centre for world-class art, architecture, culture and innovation, and has been since the 1800s. Discover Milwaukee''s most unexpected treasures - visit a 15th century French chapel, or a 425 million-year-old tropical reef. Throw a turkey at the nation''s oldest sanctioned bowling alley. Watch an art museum flap its wings, or tour the city''s only urban cheese factory to find out why cheese curds squeak. Milwaukee, a city both stunning and charming, also possesses a dry, self-deprecating wit and goofy cleverness. Visit 111 amazing places that reveal this unique character, one that keeps Milwaukee''s locals local, and beckons visitors back again and again.

It begins in Bloomington, Minnesota, with a 13-year-old kid staging his own author photo that he hopes will someday grace the cover of a book jacket.

In between, Steve Rushin whisks us along on an extraordinarily funny, tender, and altogether unforgettable journey.

Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length.

Lawless - Kimberley Motley - Bog - Allen & Unwin - Plusbog.dk

Lawless - Kimberley Motley - Bog - Allen & Unwin - Plusbog.dk

In the summer of 2008 Kimberley Motley quit her job as a public defender in Milwaukee to join a program that helped train lawyers in war-torn Afghanistan. She was thirty-two at the time, a mother of three who had never travelled outside the United States. Through sheer force of personality, ingenuity and perseverance, Kimberley became the first foreign lawyer to practise in Afghanistan and her work swiftly morphed into a mission - to bring ''justness'' to the defenceless and voiceless. She has established herself as an expert on its fledgling criminal justice system, able to pivot between the country''s complex legislation and its religious laws in defence of her clients. Her radical approach has seen her successfully represent both Afghans and Westerners, overturning sentences for men and women who''ve been subject to often appalling miscarriages of justice. Inspiring and fascinating in equal measure, Lawless tells the story of a remarkable woman operating in one of the most dangerous countries in the world.
