Starstruck
The too-wild-to-believe story of how Mexico’s queen of pop became involved in a sex cultIn 2000, an international manhunt was underway for Mexican superstar Gloria Trevi, her manager Sergio Andrade, and the young girls in their entourage. They had gone on the run after Trevi and Andrade were accused of the abuse and rape of the girls in their care. How had a superstar gotten involved in a sex cult with nearly a dozen teenage girls?Andrade founded a performing arts school that plucked young girls out of obscurity and promised to cultivate them into stars. His first recruit was Gloria Trevi. For many girls and their parents, the opportunity was too tempting to pass up. When a known hitmaker and Mexico’s most famous singer promised they could leave their hard life behind, how could they say no? But already, whispers of abuse had been circulating, and finally, the allegations caught up to them—resulting in a two-year, international chase for the pair and the girls they had taken with them. Finally apprehended in Brazil and imprisoned there, Gloria and Sergio still had tricks up their sleeves.In this hair-raising, masterful investigation, bestselling author and journalist Christopher McDougall uncovers the dark secrets of the “supreme diva of Mexican pop” and her mercurial manager, catching us up on this remarkable case and the civil suit that has recently been brought against them in Los Angeles. Starstruck is an eye-opening story about the allure of fame and the corrupting influence of power.

Born to Run
At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged fifty-seven, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course fifty miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike and elsewhere, he comes across an extraordinary cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Das Glück ist grau
Warme Augen, vorwitzige Ohren, die Hufe eines Champions und das Herz eines Helden: Das ist Sherman. Doch der kleine Esel strotzte nicht immer vor Lebensfreude - ganz im Gegenteil. Als Christopher McDougall ihn bei sich aufnimmt, ist er so stark verwahrlost, dass kaum jemand an sein Überleben glaubt. Schnell wird klar, dass Sherman eine Lebensaufgabe braucht. McDougall fasst daher den wahnwitzigen Plan, Sherman für Eselrennen auszubilden, wie man sie in den Rocky Mountains veranstaltet. Auf seinem Weg zum selbstbewussten Läufer wird Sherman von McDougalls Familie, Freunden, Nachbarn und ein paar seiner Artgenossen begleitet. Dabei erweist er sich für einige seiner Gefährten als Quelle des Trostes und der Unterstützung. Christopher McDougall führt uns vor Augen, was die meisten von uns verloren haben: die jahrtausendealte Verbindung von Mensch und Tier. So ist >Das Glück ist grau< vor allem eine berührende Geschichte über die heilende Kraft echter Gemeinschaft.

Running with Sherman
"A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor." --John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst DogFrom the best-selling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America, and, in the process, discovering the life-changing power of the human-animal connection.When Christopher McDougall decided to adopt a donkey in dire straits, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. But with the help of his neighbors, Chris came up with a crazy idea. Burro racing, a unique type of competition in which humans and donkeys run side by side over mountains and through streams, would be exactly the challenge Sherman and Chris needed. In the course of Sherman's training, Chris would enlist Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, the service animal community, and two Sarah Palin-loving long-distance female truckers. Sherman's heartwarming story of overcoming all odds to run one of the most unbelievable races in America shows the healing power of movement and the strength of the human-animal connection.
