Adored around the world, Federer has become one of sport's most iconic and popular figures. In this innovative graphic biography, Federer's genius is explored and celebrated like never before, with beautiful infographics looking at his serving patterns, the speed of his shots, the spin he generates, his movement, as well as his performance in high-pressure situations such as tiebreaks and Grand Slam finals.

Drawing on his conversations with Federer, as well as exclusive interviews with those close to the Swiss, Mark Hodgkinson tells the story of how a young hothead from Basel transformed himself into a calm and poised athlete who came to dominate tennis.

The infographics, stunning photography and insight and analysis - from Federer's rivals, idols, coaches and members of his inner circle - will give you a new appreciation of his greatness and how his tennis has moved so many people.

    Rivals Unto Death: Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    From the best-selling author of The Greatest Stories Never Told series, the epic history of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr's illustrious and eccentric political careers and their fateful rivalry. The day was hot and sticky. The man in the rowboat was an impetuous hothead. His row across the choppy Hudson that morning led to a confrontation that has burned bright in the American mind for more than 200 years. When the most notorious duel in American history took place, Alexander Hamilton was 49, a former Treasury Secretary whose meteoric political rise had flamed out in the wake of a humiliating sex scandal. Vice President Aaron Burr, was just a year younger than Hamilton, at the top of a meteoric rise of his own in the nation's fledgling government. Rivals unto Death explores the largely unknown three-decade dance that led to the infamous duel. It traces the rivalry back to the earliest days of the American Revolution, when both men, brilliant, restless, and barely 20 years old, elbowed their way onto the staff of General George Washington; follows them as they launch their competitive legal practices in New York City and through the insanity of the election of 1800 when Hamilton threw his support behind Thomas Jefferson in an effort to knock Burr out of the running for president; and takes them finally to the dueling grounds that only one would emerge from. ungekürzt.

The only problem is the person parked on the other side of the street.Jay’s family has struggled to pay the bills for as long as he could remember. Since he was 15, he’s been selling homemade honey at the same spot, right up the road from the grocery store. Then came some jerk in an RV, parking in his spot and adding competition where there never had been any before.Jay’s never been a hothead, but Hamilton brings it out in him when the two start clashing over the location. It doesn’t help that Jay can’t tell if he hates Hamilton because he stole his spot or because that smirk Hamilton gets sometimes is a little less annoying than Jay wants it to be. Not to mention, Hamilton might think that Jay looks a little cute when he gets wound up. They would have been happy to never do more than just glare at each other from across the street. But when a fancy new food truck arrives and threatens to put them both out of business, the two have to put aside their differences and team up to chase off the competition.  ungekürzt.

    York's Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 417min
    When a dead guy falls off the train just yards from Yorktown, a hobo camp near West Wheaton, California, all manner of forces begin to collide. Three men live in Yorktown: York, the old, blind hobo and self-proclaimed mayor of his little enclave; Denny, the young rail rider; and Sly, the damaged Vietnam vet. When they are blamed for the murder, the town fathers are ready to bulldoze the camp that has existed there for 40 years or more. Clover, the girl who works at the donut shop and keeps the bums in day-old and toothpaste as her personal ministry, determines to save the camp and the harmless guys who live out in the open. She has the compassionate ear of the sheriff, but his deputy is a hothead and in the pocket of the mayor who, has shady business dealings he needs to have accomplished under dark of night. When Clover and her boys discover who really killed the guy on the train, tensions ratchet up, and a van full of thugs are hired to go clean up the hobo camp by the light of the full moon, but blind, old York and his two inept sidekicks are ready for them in as unconventional a defensive posture as possible. Eventually everyone knows it's the end of the era where rail riders can live out their freedoms, and the inevitable is going to happen, but before it does, those who wield unreasonable power must have their comeuppance, and those who have been doing good works all their lives must be rewarded. York's Moon is an unconventional murder mystery, a love story, and a story of the little guy fighting city hall and winning. Sort of. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Chester.

    Finishing Machine: Was It Road Rage Murder or Self-Defense? A Trained Killer's Fight for Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
    The book that was banned by the Oregon Department of Corrections. From Mike Arnold, criminal defense attorney/author. More often than not, a defense attorney's clients are guilty. Gerald Strebendt certainly looked guilty of the January 2014 road rage murder. Marine sniper. Blackwater operative. MMA fighter with a 9-7 win-loss record, including an appearance in UFC 44. Strebendt was a trained killer, in other words, and one who just happened to be known for his hothead tendencies. It didn't help that his truck was a rolling armory that dark night on a rural road in Springfield, Oregon, or that the weapon he used to shoot the other unarmed driver wasn't anybody's idea of "the right gun" to be carrying around town. It was an AR-15-type rifle, a long, black semiautomatic that the world loves to label a "military assault rifle". Yes, Gerald Strebendt sure looked guilty to me. But he told me he was innocent. He said the other guy rammed Gerald's truck, got out of the car, and began yelling menacingly. That's when Strebendt grabbed his rifle and began retreating with it, repeatedly telling the other driver to stay back. But the guy kept coming. And that's when a single shot rang out and only Strebendt was left standing. So, was it road rage? Self-defense? Some combination of the two? I'm Mike Arnold, attorney for the defense, and this book isn't just the story of this shooting, or of Gerald Strebendt's guilt or innocence. It's also my story. Because, for the first time, I saw myself in one of my clients. And I realized that, in this case, neither one of us was likely to get a fair shake from the judicial system. ungekürzt.

    The Geraldo Show: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 793min
    In public life for half a century, my image and reputation have had more ups and downs than the Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island. I have been called savior and sinner, fool and wise man, crusader and exploiter, hothead and dope. I am routinely scorned, admired, beloved, and belittled. The opinions are usually based on when they tuned in. Were you around for my early days as a crusading local newsman? Did you waste an evening inside Al Capone's empty vault? Were you watching when the bombs dropped in Afghanistan or Iraq, or did you tune into the raucous talk show when my nose got broken in the best television studio brawl ever caught on tape? Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and my employment by the conservative rabble-rousers of Fox News, and, more recently, with the coming of the Age of Trump, my professional life has been even more difficult to define. How could a sincerely progressive native-born Jew Rican New Yorker like me ever work for an outfit better suited to the vibes of Orange County, California, the Dixie, Appalachia, or the Mountain West? How could I not condemn and obstruct a wrecking ball like Donald Trump? Over five decades, I have met most of the era's good and bad guys, from Ronald Reagan to Charles Manson, Fidel Castro to Yasser Arafat, and Muhammad Ali to John Lennon. Two figure heavily in this book, both longtime friends. Roger Ailes is the disgraced yet undeniably brilliant creator of Fox News. Donald Trump, once a flamboyant playboy, billionaire businessman, is now 45th President of the United States. Now at the vigorous twilight of my career, I have nothing left to prove, and time has both enlightened and humbled me. In this book, I speak frankly about my failures and successes, my humiliations and triumphs. Throughout my career, I've done my best to provide you with groundbreaking journalism and great entertainment. In this book, I've tried to provide both...and a few life lessons, as well.

    My Heart Beats for You
    Sometimes, even true love isn't enough to prevent bad choices. Meet Inaya, a good girl who made some hard choices to keep her daughter safe. Inaya's life is a total wreck, but she is trying her best to keep her head above water for her four-year-old daughter, Kadia. When she bumps into her new neighbor, Phantom, she can't get him off her mind or out of her heart. Phantom is tall, handsome, and a complete jerk. He thinks all women are in one category, the one marked "no good," and he's not afraid to express that to any woman who crosses his path. He likes Kadia because she reminds him of his little girl, but he works hard at being mean to her mother. Slowly, his heart begins to soften a little. Maybe Inaya is different from all the other women he has known. He realizes he loves her, but women from his past and present continue to threaten what Phantom and Inaya are building. One bad decision on his part threatens their relationship, and the consequences leave Kadia in danger. Meet Lox, son of a Jamaican Don, a ladies' man who even takes these chicks to dinner and a movie sometimes. Fate brings Lox's first love, Sahnai, back into his life. He never stopped loving her, even after she disappeared from his life for reasons unknown to him. Sahnai is accustomed to using her looks to get what she wants from men. When she sees Lox after all these years, she is happy to see the only man she has ever loved, but she's having a hard time letting him in her life again. She knows her secrets are enough to make him hate her and take away the one thing she cherishes the most. After Lox sees that Sahnai is still a hothead who is not ready to grow up, he decides to walk away for good-until events out of his control may change his plans.
