Die Umsetzung der DSGVO hat Unternehmen und Einrichtungen 2018 viel Zeit und Mühe gekostet. Auch 2019 wird sie das Thema Datenschutz stark fordern. Denn nach wie vor gibt es Vorschriften, die eine Herausforderung für die Praxis darstellen oder bei denen nicht ganz klar ist, wie sie konkret in der Praxis anzuwenden sind.

Außerdem liegen inzwischen einige offizielle Entschließungen und Orientierungshilfen der Aufsichtsbehörden und erste Urteile zum aktuellen Datenschutzrecht vor, die Verantwortliche kennen sollten. Denn nur so wissen sie, wo Handlungsbedarf besteht.

Die ersten Bußgelder auf Grundlage der DSGVO wurden in Deutschland bereits verhängt. Damit müssen Unternehmen und Einrichtungen vorsorgen, damit ihnen das nicht passiert.

Verantwortliche für den Datenschutz benötigen deshalb alle Informationen schnell, kompakt und übersichtlich aus einer Hand - denn meist fehlt die Zeit, um lange zu recherchieren und sich mit den geänderten Rechtsgrundlagen ausführlich zu beschäftigen. Das Buch "Datenschutz 2019" fasst die wichtigsten Neuerungen und Grundlagen übersichtlich zusammen und gibt dazu noch Praxistipps von erfahrenen Experten.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The intimate, inspiring, and authoritative biography of Sandra Day O’Connor, America’s first female Supreme Court justice, drawing on exclusive interviews and first-time access to Justice O’Connor’s archives—by the New York Times bestselling author Evan Thomas.

“She’s a hero for our time, and this is the biography for our time.”—Walter Isaacson

She was born in 1930 in El Paso and grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona. At a time when women were expected to be homemakers, she set her sights on Stanford University. When she graduated near the top of her law school class in 1952, no firm would even interview her. But Sandra Day O’Connor’s story is that of a woman who repeatedly shattered glass ceilings—doing so with a blend of grace, wisdom, humor, understatement, and cowgirl toughness.

She became the first ever female majority leader of a state senate. As a judge on the Arizona Court of Appeals, she stood up to corrupt lawyers and humanized the law. When she arrived at the United States Supreme Court, appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, she began a quarter-century tenure on the Court, hearing cases that ultimately shaped American law. Diagnosed with cancer at fifty-eight, and caring for a husband with Alzheimer’s, O’Connor endured every difficulty with grit and poise.

Women and men who want to be leaders and be first in their own lives—who want to learn when to walk away and when to stand their ground—will be inspired by O’Connor’s example. This is a remarkably vivid and personal portrait of a woman who loved her family, who believed in serving her country, and who, when she became the most powerful woman in America, built a bridge forward for all women.

Praise for First

“Cinematic . . . poignant . . . illuminating and eminently readable . . . First gives us a real sense of Sandra Day O’Connor the human being. . . . Thomas gives O’Connor the credit she deserves.”—The Washington Post

“[A] fascinating and revelatory biography . . . a richly detailed picture of [O’Connor’s] personal and professional life . . . Evan Thomas’s book is not just a biography of a remarkable woman, but an elegy for a worldview that, in law as well as politics, has disappeared from the nation’s main stages.”—The New York Times Book Review

PDF First Sandra Day O'Connor Evan Thomas 9780399589287 Books

"While I was reading this book, I saw that author Evan Thomas mentioned Joan Biskupic's biography of Sandra Day O'Connor (titled Sandra Day O'Connor) as a source (one of many sources) while writing the book. I found a copy of that bio, first published in late 2005, and read both books, comparing as I went along. Both writers make an effort to portray O'Connor as more than a Supreme Court Justice, going into her childhood and career before the Supreme Court. Both authors did interview O'Connor, although Biskupic's interviews were conducted as part of her reporting on the Court, while Thomas interviewed O'Connor after her retirement specifically for the biography. Thomas's biography included some sources that Biskupic didn't have access to such as John O'Connor's (Sandra Day O'Connor's husband) unpublished memoir and his diaries. Thomas also discusses O'Connor's life after her retirement, while Biskupic's book ends just as O'Connor is retiring from the Supreme Court. Thomas interviewed many, nearly all, of O'Connor's law clerks from her Supreme Court years, giving a little extra insight into her day to day activities at the Court.

Still, I came away thinking that if you had to choose between the two books, you might do better to read Biskupic's than Thomas's. For instance, Biskupic showed how O'Connor had been political well before her rise through the court system -- she had even lobbied Nixon to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court (she endorsed a colleague, but it's easy to believe she thought she herself might also be a good candidate) and had been active in Republican politics since serving on Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign. Biskupic was also more descriptive about William Rehnquist's views on race, leaving the reader with little doubt that he had racist views, while Evan Thomas glosses over the subject with a footnote mentioning rumors of racist behavior. This was relevant to a book about O'Connor because Rehnquist and O'Connor were very close (even romantically close at one point in their college years) and decided almost identically during O'Connor's first years on the Supreme Court, although as time went on, she broke with the conservative bloc more often. The Bush v Gore decision comes across as a shockingly poor judicial decision in both books.

Both books are full of interesting inside the court information as well as fascinating analysis of court cases and how they were decided."

  Still, I came away thinking that if you had to choose between the two books, you might do better to read Biskupic's than Thomas's. For instance, Biskupic showed how O'Connor had been political well before her rise through the court system -- she had even lobbied Nixon to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court (she endorsed a colleague, but it's easy to believe she thought she herself might also be a good candidate) and had been active in Republican politics since serving on Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign.

The Bush v Gore decision comes across as a shockingly poor judicial decision in both books.
  
  Both books are full of interesting inside the court information as well as fascinating analysis of court cases and how they were decided.
• Given all the recent adulation of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I was wondering if everyone was just going to skip over the "First." Sandra Day O'Connor preceded RBG by 12 years, and was the trailblazer who opened the way for women to break up the all-boys club of the Supreme Court.
  
  Evan Thomas's biography is addictively readable! I started reading at about 930 at night and kept telling myself, "Just one more page!" Well, 405 pages later, I was closing the book, fully read. I didn't look at the clock! Mr. Thomas has interviewed not only Justice O'Connor, but seemingly everyone in her life, from childhood through her senior years. What emerges is a fully rounded portrait of a child, a student, a career woman, a wife, mother, employer, friend and neighbor, as well as a groundbreaker on the Supreme Court. Justice O'Connor is a multi-faceted person who exuded the dignity and fastidiousness of the bench, but also reveled in her personal life, charming everyone with her undivided attention, her wit... and her dancing skills! This fascinating woman, raised on a hardscrabble ranch in Arizona, seemingly felt at home anywhere she and her beloved husband, John, lived, even in the political rat's nest of Washington, D.C.
  
  In this book, not only do you get a full picture of Justice O'Connor, but the author weaves into her story everything you need to know about how the Supreme Court works, what goes on in the so-called "Marble Palace," and the issues Justice O'Connor faced in her tenure -- abortion, affirmative action, sexual harassment, states rights. We get an education about law clerks and what they do. The law clerks who worked for Justice O'Connor are candid about her, suggesting both the good and the bad of working for a person as intense as Sandra Day O'Connor. You want to get on her good side? Show up for her 8 a.m. aerobics class!
  
  Having access to John O'Connor's unpublished diary, and interviews with Justice O'Connor herself, allows the author a keen insight into John and Sandra O'Connor's marriage and into the mighty struggle with Alzheimer's that eventually claimed John's life and descended on hers. It is truly heartbreaking to walk that sad journey with them. Even the brightest stars are no match for this horrible disease.
  
  Mr. Thomas sums up Justice O'Connor, with all her contradictions, this way "She could be charming or brusque. She could be disarmingly straightforward; she could also be roundabout and sly," he writes. "It is difficult to reconcile the 'bossy' O'Connor, who would tell passengers exactly where to sit in a car, with the modest O'Connor, who practiced judicial 'minimalism,' preferring to stick to the facts and let the law slowly evolve rather than making broad pronouncements." In Mr. Thomas's book, all of these sides to Sandra Day O'Connor are fully explored. You'll want to stay up late reading, too!
• I have read Joan Biskupic’s biography of Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-) and have read O’Connor’s memoirs and other books. Thomas’s book was written after she retired from the Court so contains more information about her later life. Thomas also had access to John O’Connor’s papers, diary and unpublished memoir.
  
  The book is well written and meticulously researched. Thomas interviewed almost all of O’Connor’s law clerks and staff as well as friends and colleagues. I found the information about how each of the male Justices had to adapt (or not) to a female Justice interesting. I found the lunch meeting between O’Connor and Ginsburg most interesting. This meeting took place just after O’Connor was appointed to the Supreme Court and long before Ginsburg was appointed to the Court. Thomas provided a number of insights as well as material not covered in prior books. This book is well worth the read. I noted how far women attorneys have come since the day O’Connor graduated from Stanford Law School and found out that firms would not hire women.
  
  I read this as an e-book on my app for my iPad. There were lots of photographs. I wished I had the photograph with all the women Justices together. The book was 455 pages and published by Random House.

About the audiobook

The Worldship Humility is the start of The Code trilogy, written exclusively for audio by sci-fi author R. R. Haywood. Narrator Colin Morgan brings the colourful characters and treacherous escapades of The Worldship Humility to life, a gripping space adventure which will appeal to fans of Ready Player One, Bladerunner and Haywood's previous best-selling works, Extracted and The Undead. 

Summary

It's been 120 years since the 50 or so worldships containing the few million survivors set off after planet Earth was destroyed by a meteor. 

On the Worldship Humility, Sam, an Airlock Operative, is bored. Living in space should be full of adventure, except it isn't, and he fills his time hacking 3-D movie posters. 

Petty thief Yasmine Dufont is also from the WS Humility, but she is not bored. Growing up in the Elfors, the lawless lower levels of the ship, has seen her surrounded by violence and squalor since birth, and now she wants out. She wants to escape to the luxury of the Ab-Spa on top of WS Abstinence, where they eat real food instead of rats and synth cubes. 

Meanwhile, the sleek-hulled, unmanned Gagarin has come back from punching out ahead of the fleet in the ever-continuing search for a new home. Nearly all hope is lost that a new planet will ever be found, until the Gagarin returns with a code of information that suggests a habitable planet has been found. This news should be shared with the whole fleet, but a few rogue captains want to keep the information to themselves and colonise the new planet. 

When Yasmine inadvertently steals the code, she and Sam become caught up in a dangerous game of murder, corruption, political wrangling and...porridge, with sex-addicted Detective Zhang Woo hot on their heels, his own life at risk if he fails to get the code back. 

About the author

"So, this is a weird review, because on one hand, i really enjoyed the audio book. On the other, the fact that this book was written exclusively for audio has me scratching my head. There are LOTS of moments in this audio book where the listener is forced to listen to MANY minutes of stuff like, "really", he said. "yes", she said, "oh", he said. "yep", she said. This can go on for so much time, its maddening! The amount of "he said", "she said" in an audio book written for Audio is crazy! The narrator can have perfectly good voices for the characters in conversation , yet, we all have to listen to "he said", "she said" over and over and over. WE DONT NEED that part. Please, for the love of god, do not read the "she said" "he said" part while reading the book for audio. I cannot overstate this. This was so maddening, i have to remove a start from the review. Also, i can't say that im in love with the narrator choice. The female tone that the male narrator had made every woman in book sound completely unattractive. I know this seems shallow, but the story makes a big deal of attractive and pretty women, so its hard to buy into it with the voice.
That said, the book was fun. I was disappointed in some of the longer dragging parts where the writer obviously wanted to have some silly fun with useless dialog from non characters...but whatever.
I will warn you.....this is the 1st of a series and without spoiling much, this audio book ends abruptly with very little payout, so since this book is actually a fun story, you will be left hanging pretty hard and not getting to enjoy some of the stuff that you hoped would transpire."

• So, this is a weird review, because on one hand, i really enjoyed the audio book. On the other, the fact that this book was written exclusively for audio has me scratching my head.

• Thank you RR Haywood!!
• Even before I heard the anti-semitic shpiel, I was wondering how this book has a 4.5 star rating. It is cartoonish and not that well written. By cartoonish, I mean there's a hacker who can hack anything he can imagine in 10 seconds including creating graphics...it's cartoony. And it's not like he's augmented with cyborg technology to do this, he uses a virtual KEYBOARD and is able to make any digital animation he wants in seconds. This book is filled with constant, 'okay, that's silly, but I'll overlook this, that and that too."
  
  Then out of the blue, the author says some of the ships that fled earth were at war with each other. Each ship is controlled by a nation, and the only nation it mentions is Israel...which happened to buy something form the Iranian ship and didn't pay for it (I'm pretty sure that's an anti-semitic trope) and then preemptively attacked Iran in response to them getting mad at them and that the Israelis couldn't get past their differences on earth and nobody knows who started it and no one cares, they just wish they could get over it. This mention of Israel was so far out of left field and had very little to do with the plot.
• Narration is fantastic.... I could listen to this guy all day, everyday. The story is interesting, and funny, and full of action and I just can’t say enough good things..... I was looking for the actual book, but I believe this is just for audio right now. I recommend this to anyone who is a sci fi, comedy or action fan! Just heads up, maybe don’t listen with a 5 year old in the car....
• The narrator is awesome, and the story is engaging and funny. The only negative is that this is only the first of a trilogy, and the other 2 are not yet out.
  
  Someone else mentioned anti-Semitism, but I don't see it--just book written from the a point of view of someone who is not Jewish and is puzzled by the tensions in the middle east.
  
  As far as the hacking being unbelievable--it's set in the future. Who knows what kind of shortcuts might be available by then? Someone good enough to code on the fly might have a wicked toolkit that he's created for himself.
• I'm in love with almost every character in this series. Clara especially is AMAZING. The book is funny, fast-paced, and keeps your attention at all times.
  
  My one complaint about it (and this is really a very minor complaint), is that the author has practically zero interest in actual science. Spaceflight and computer hacking both feature prominently in the series and both are utterly inaccurate. I would have liked a portrayal more similar to The Martian or Seveneves.
  
  That's just my personal preference though and the wonderful characters and story more than made up for it anyways. Can't wait for book 2!
• Everything about this book worked. Every voice in the narration was fledged out and authentic. The plot was both complicated and simple and while the ending is a cliffhanger i don't care. I will wait. The characters all felt like friends (yes, MY friends) and the world was fantastic. The most brilliant SF audiobook since Illuminae!
• So far, this audible is SUPER!! One can NEVER go wrong with Colin Morgan. He brings the story alive and into your mind in great detail. The story itself is wonderful...so far. But I have no doubt I will fully enjoy the rest of the book. No regrets on this book. Thank you, Colin, for a great adventure!! Wonderful choice of voice for this book. A definite read for those who love sci-fi, adventure and well laid out subplots.--Brook

An Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller.

In this gorgeously stunning debut, a mysterious child teaches two strangers how to love and trust again.

After the loss of her mother and her own battle with breast cancer, Joanna Teale returns to her graduate research on nesting birds in rural Illinois, determined to prove that her recent hardships have not broken her. She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises.

The girl calls herself Ursa, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the child’s home situation, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stay—just until she learns more about Ursa’s past.

Jo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor, Gabriel Nash, to solve the mystery of the charming child. But the more time they spend together, the more questions they have. How does a young girl not only read but understand Shakespeare? Why do good things keep happening in her presence? And why aren’t Jo and Gabe checking the missing children’s website anymore?

Though the three have formed an incredible bond, they know difficult choices must be made. As the summer nears an end and Ursa gets closer to her fifth miracle, her dangerous past closes in. When it finally catches up to them, all of their painful secrets will be forced into the open, and their fates will be left to the stars.

"As far as free books go, I thought this one was pretty ok. The pacing was good as the writing flowed well. I was a little bored by how often i had to read about what time the characters woke up and what they had for dinner but I'm sure there are readers who like those details. The biggest hangup i had about this book was how unlikable the main character was. She was written as a step above everybody else in her knowledge and experiences but only because everybody else was written as ridiculous human parodies. The cops were bad at their jobs, the social worker was bad at her job, rural people were so dumb that they couldn't possibly have read Shakespeare or identify a cardinal as anything other than a red bird.
It's a shame because this book had a lot going for it too, but that removed simplistic view of the world made it hard to take seriously."

Where the Forest Meets the Stars edition by Glendy Vanderah Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

• “Where the Forest Meets the Stars” is a love story of the most unique proportions. Two wounded adults and an extremely intelligent child are drawn together in a fresh and fanciful story that will have you cheering for the geeks. This is not a sci-fi book but a child’s attempt to deal with a life that is far too painful for her young years.
  
  Glenda Vanderah has created characters that are fully developed and interact flawlessly as participants in this fast moving story. They fuss and struggle and learn to love each other with ferocity in the midst of trying to ascertain the truth of the youngsters travail. This is a unique story and in all the thousands of books I’ve read, there’s not been anything else like it. This is special and you’ll be effected. If there were a second volume, I’d be happy to reconnect with these folks.
  
  The story is dialogue driven and the dialogue is magical. I laughed out loud many times as the pages flew by. There are no issues with gratuitous violence or sexual content and just a few f-bombs that were totally unnecessary. In fact, they were the only expletives on one page; absurd. That issue aside, this book is worth every one of those 5* and then some. Bravo, Ms. Vanderah!
• A most intriguing novel that, for me, started out a little slow. After the first 3 chapters, however, there was an air of mystery in this that kept my attention until the very end. Another mystery also surfaces which adds to the intrigue.
  
  Joanna Toule, a field biologist, was studying Indigo Buntings in Southern Illinois. Loving nature, I was drawn to this lady with her talents for locating the nests. And, after that the manner in which these nests and birds were recorded and later analyzed. One quote that I loved 'In nature, the winner is the one that produces the most young'. For nature lovers, there is more than ample bird information and some interesting tidbits about water beetles and addis flies.
  
  A young girl, Ursa appears and there is a mystery surrounding her. Who is she and where did she come from? There is a neighbor, Gabriel Nash, that is called the Egg Man. He also has an air of mystery around him.
  
  The author touches on cancer survival and how it affects a person afterwards. This was extremely well done as it included not only the survivor but also friends. The stigma that is attached to certain types of cancer are also covered.
  
  Depression is also covered in depth...There are many causes of depression and it may be the result of genetics or environment. Lots of questions concerning this....is one able to recover with love and happiness?
  
  Another quote that I loved 'Sometimes a bad thing has to happen to make a good thing happen'. Looking back at my personal life (70 + years), this is so true. The things I thought were so bad at the time, turned out to be the best outcome.
  
  Lots in this one including the mystery of Ursa, a family mystery that is also solved. The importance of forgiveness in life is also covered. The author ties everything up at the end...very nicely and all the answers are there.. An interesting mix of characters also contributed to the plot... Loved the independence of Tabby! I would like to meet her and have a conversation!
  
  Highly recommended.
  
  Please note that this is my First Reads selection for FEB 2019.
• I downloaded this book this afternoon as a First Look. I finished it a half hour ago. The characters were achingly real, the dialogue authentic, the emotions raw, and the plot had just the right twist to remain plausible with the rest of the story. Brilliant first novel! My only regret is that it wasn't a little longer- can't wait for a sequel to revisit these characters!
• As far as free books go, I thought this one was pretty ok. The pacing was good as the writing flowed well. I was a little bored by how often i had to read about what time the characters woke up and what they had for dinner but I'm sure there are readers who like those details. The biggest hangup i had about this book was how unlikable the main character was. She was written as a step above everybody else in her knowledge and experiences but only because everybody else was written as ridiculous human parodies. The cops were bad at their jobs, the social worker was bad at her job, rural people were so dumb that they couldn't possibly have read Shakespeare or identify a cardinal as anything other than a red bird.
  It's a shame because this book had a lot going for it too, but that removed simplistic view of the world made it hard to take seriously.
• I downloaded it, read a couple of chapters and deleted it off my kindle. This is typically the kind of book that I like but the whole beginning of this was so ridiculous that I couldn't even stand it. She meets this kid who within in the first five minutes basically says I'm an alien and that she heard cheese is good. Seriously .... awful writing.... moving on
• Where the Forest Meets the Stars is a unique and mostly unpredictable story about a random connection between a little girl and a lonely woman. The story is captivating and flows in an authentic way as their lives get more entwined. I was impressed to see this is a debut novel. I read it over a twelve hour period and when I had to put the book down, I couldn't quit thinking about it. The ending was a little drawn out as the storylines are pulled all together, and there is a subplot with a secondary character's family backstory that seemed unnecessary. These were tiny bumps in a well told story. If you like stories where you can root for the characters and watch them overcome pain from their past, this one's for you!
• I devoured this delectable treat in one day! Could not, would not put it down! It takes skill to tell Ursa’s story so believably.

Pearl Johns è una brillante creatrice di gioielli.
A soli ventidue anni, è riuscita a specializzarsi nel settore, trasformando questa innata passione nel suo pane quotidiano. Lavora presso la gioielleria di famiglia, ed è la pietra preziosa di suo padre e suo fratello.
Come in ogni favola moderna che si rispetti, un giorno si scontra con il ragazzo più bello che abbia mai visto, colui che, con un sorriso “strappa mutandine” e due occhi magnetici, metterà a soqquadro la sua testa e il suo cuore.
Il ragazzo in questione si chiama Logan Harris, ed è un aitante ventiquattrenne texano che, rimasto orfano, si è trasferito a Buford, piccola cittadina della Georgia, per lavorare nella gioielleria dello zio.
Quando cominciano a conoscersi, Pearl scopre che Logan è tanto stupendo quanto inaccessibile, poichè appartiene alla famiglia che, da decenni, è acerrima nemica della sua.
Nonostante il loro destino sembra segnato, l’empatia e l’attrazione che i due giovani adulti provano l’uno per l’altra, è molto forte e li spingerà a lottare contro tutto e tutti pur di rimanere insieme.
Ci riusciranno?
E questa faida tra le loro famiglie è solo frutto di concorrenza lavorativa, oppure si è creata per motivi meno futili di quanto si possa immaginare?

Ispiratasi all’immortale commedia shakespeariana di Romeo e Giulietta, Alice Sten si cimenta in un nuovo stile, molto lontano dai suoi canoni e dai suoi romanzi precedenti, regalando ai lettori un New adult romantico e frizzante.

From New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes a new fantasy series reimagining the Arthurian legend, set in the magical world of Camelot. There was nothing in the world as magical and terrifying as a girl.

Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger the charismatic King Arthur. With magic clawing at the kingdom's borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution--send in Guinevere to be Arthur's wife . . . and his protector from those who want to see the young king's idyllic city fail. The catch? Guinevere's real name--and her true identity--is a secret. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot.

To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old--including Arthur's own family--demand things continue as they have been, and the new--those drawn by the dream of Camelot--fight for a better way to live. And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land. Arthur's knights believe they are strong enough to face any threat, but Guinevere knows it will take more than swords to keep Camelot free.

Deadly jousts, duplicitous knights, and forbidden romances are nothing compared to the greatest threat of all the girl with the long black hair, riding on horseback through the dark woods toward Arthur. Because when your whole existence is a lie, how can you trust even yourself?
