The Middle East has long been a region of rival religions, ideologies, nationalisms, and ambitions. All of these conflicts - including the hostilities between Arabs and Israelis, and the violent challenges posed by Iraq's competing sects - are rooted in the region's political inheritance: the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed by the Allies after the First World War.§§In "A Peace to End All Peace", David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East. Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, when all seemed possible, he delivers in this sweeping and magisterial book the definitive account of this defining time, showing how the choices narrowed and the Middle East began along a road that led to the conflicts and confusion that continue to this day.§§A new afterword from Fromkin, written for this edition of the book, includes his invaluable, updated assessment of this region of the world today, and on what this history has to teach us.

Una chica de quince años aparece crucificada en un suburbio a las afueras. Miren Triggs, periodista de investigación del Manhattan Press, recibe de manera inesperada un extraño sobre.

Así se adentrarán en una institución religiosa en la que todo son secretos y en un enigma único lleno de suspense en el que deberán descifrar tres preguntas de respuesta imposible: ¿qué le sucedió a Gina?, ¿quién envía la polaroid? y, la más importante; ¿están conectadas ambas historias? ________________________La crítica ha dicho:«Javier Castillo es sin duda el nuevo fenómeno de la literatura europea».Joël Dicker «La obra de Javier Castillo atrapará al lector desde el primer instante».El País «El Stephen King español».ABC

Der amerikanische Maler und Zeichner Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 1988) gehört zu den schillerndsten Persönlichkeiten der Kunstgeschichte, seine Freundschaften mit Andy Warhol, Keith Haring und Madonna sind legendär. Die retrospektiv angelegte Publikation zeichnet die einzigartige künstlerische Entwicklung und kunsthistorische Bedeutung des bereits mit 27 Jahren auf tragische Weise verstorbenen Künstlerstars nach. Seine Werke sind von eben jener Intensität und Energie geprägt, die auch sein kurzes Leben bestimmten. In nur acht Jahren gelang es Basquiat nicht nur, vergleichbar Egon Schiele, ein umfassendes uvre zu schaffen, sondern auch neben der konzeptuellen Kunst und der Minimal Art neue figurative und expressive Elemente zu etablieren. Als 21-Jähriger wurde er zum bislang jüngsten documenta-Teilnehmer und entscheidenden Vorläufer der Jungen Wilden, aber auch der Kunst der 1990er-Jahre.

Stell dir vor: 24 Schüler der Klasse 5a und einer ist schlimmer als der andere. Unvorstellbar? Dann kennst du die schlimmste Klasse der Welt nicht! Hier herrscht Chaos pur: Zum Beispiel an dem Tag, als Hakim Frau Meiers Auto "umparkt" und es dabei im Schulteich versenkt. Oder als Ewald in der großen Pause ein geheimes Loch in die Wand zum Lehrerzimmer bohrt - mit fatalen Folgen für die Lehrer! Denn als Herr Krautmann kurze Zeit später Schreie aus der 5a hört und ihm einige seiner Schüler auf dem Flur panisch entgegenrennen, schwant ihm schon Böses! Bei dieser Klasse läuft eben selten etwas wie geplant - und am Ende halten sie dann auch noch zusammen wie Pech und Schwefel. Und was Pech und Schwefel bedeutet, muss natürlich auch gleich mal ausprobiert werden ...
Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear - and the ones that plague us now - are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way - through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick.Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humour and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses.This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking. Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his No.1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.
16 Jahre trug Angela Merkel die Regierungsverantwortung für Deutschland, führte das Land durch zahlreiche Krisen und prägte mit ihrem Handeln und ihrer Haltung die deutsche und internationale Politik und Gesellschaft.

Sie lässt uns teilhaben an ihren Treffen und Gesprächen mit den Mächtigsten der Welt und erhellt anhand bedeutender nationaler, europäischer und internationaler Wendepunkte anschaulich und präzise, wie Entscheidungen getroffen wurden, die unsere Zeit prägen.

Get swept away by the New York Times bestseller that's sold almost 125,000 copies. As one by one her beautiful sisters mysteriously die on their isolated island estate, Annaleigh must unravel the curse that haunts her family."Step inside a fairy tale." Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of CaravalHaunting, atmospheric, and immersive. BustleNothing short of both haunting and mesmerizing . . . a perfect step into escapism and away from real life. HypableIn a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with... And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.

Come č noto, "Allegro ma non troppo", raccoglie due piccoli saggi satirici, "Le leggi fondamentali della stupiditŕ umana" e "Il ruolo delle spezie (e del pepe in particolare) nello sviluppo economico del Medioevo". Meno noto č che entrambi erano stati scritti in inglese e stampati dal Mulino in edizione strettamente privata negli anni Settanta. Questo piccolo volume rende per la prima volta disponibile l'edizione originale delle "Leggi", ponendo fine al paradosso di un testo che č stato tradotto in una dozzina di lingue senza essere mai stato letto cosě come l'autore l'ha scritto. Tornare all'originale č qualcosa di piů di un esercizio filologico: la versione inglese esalta infatti lo humour in perfetto stile british di Cipolla consegnando al lettore, ancor piů rafforzato, il capolavoro di sorridente perfidia che ha reso "Allegro ma non troppo" un autentico cult book.
"Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason." —JORDAN PETERSON*USA TODAY NATIONAL BESTSELLER*There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness.Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls "idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.The danger is grave, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogma is riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful weapons to fight back with—if we have the courage to use them.A provocative guide to defending reason and intellectual freedom and a battle cry for the preservation of our fundamental rights, The Parasitic Mind will be the most controversial and talked-about book of the year.
