Asphalt Nation is a powerful examination of how the automobile has ravaged America's cities and landscape over the past 100 years together with a compelling strategy for reversing our automobile dependency. Jane Holtz Kay provides a history of the rapid spread of the automobile and documents the huge subsidies commanded by the highway lobby, to the detriment of once-efficient forms of mass transportation. Demonstrating that there are economic, political, architectural, and personal solutions to the problem, she shows that radical change is entirely possible. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in the history of our relationship with the car, and in the prospect of returning to a world of human mobility.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the Osage Indians owned Oklahoma's most valuable oil reserves and became members of the world's first wealthy oil population. Osage children and grandchildren continued to respect the old customs and ways, but now they also had lives of leisure: purchasing large homes, expensive cars, eating in fancy restaurants, and traveling to faraway places. In the 1920s, they also found themselves immersed in a series of murders. Charles H.

The Battle of Tannenberg (27-30 August, 1914) opened World War One with a decisive German victory over Russia - indeed, the Kaiser's only clearcut victory in a non-attritional battle during all four years of war. In this first paperback edition of the classic work, eminent military historian Dennis Showater analyses the battle's causes, effects and implications for subsequent German military policy. He destroys many myths, such as the supposed superiority of the German military commanders. The battle's mystique later served the Weimar Republic and Third Reich propagandists. For years the legend of Tannenberg helped to shape German nationalist ideology and military policy. As a result, in 1941, Hitler's Wehrmacht grossly underestimated Soviet military capability, leading to disaster in World War Two.

How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn't it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God's goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as: * The Lake of Fire* Lazarus and the Rich Man* The Slaughter of Canaanites in the Old Testament Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Close uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole. It pulls the "skeletons out of God's closet" to reveal they were never really skeletons at all.

Wenn das Wort "Standardwerk" überhaupt noch einen Sinn hat, dann muß man Hilbergs berühmte Gesamtgeschichte des Holocaust als solches bezeichnen. Das Buch ist 1961 in den USA herausgekommen und wurde erst 1982 in deutscher Sprache vorgelegt - von einem kleinen Berliner Verlag. Erneut auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht und wiederum erweitert, liegt es nun in dieser Taschenbuchausgabe vor. Damit wurde einem vielfach vorgetragene Wunsch entsprochen, Hilbergs "bedeutendes Buch" (FAZ) einem breiten Publikum zugänglich zu machen.§Das Thema dieses Werkes sind die Täter, der Plan, das Tatschema, die Tat selbst, ihre Vorbereitung und Durchführung. Mit "Kühle und Präzision, die den großen Chronisten auszeichnen" (SZ), weist Hilberg die Verwicklung und Beteiligung der Führungseliten in Staatsverwaltung, Industrie und Wehrmacht bei der Judenvernichtung nach. Nachgewiesen wird auch die funktionale Hingabe des durchschnittlichen Bürokraten, Reichsbahners, Polizisten und Soldaten an das Ausrottungswerk. Und es kommt ein Tätertypus zum Vorschein (der auch namentlich genannt wird), der nach 1945 nie einem Richter begegnet ist: der preußische General, der national-konservative Ministerialbeamte, der Diplomat, Jurist, Industrielle, Chemiker und Arzt.§Hilberg hat das Material für sein Buch sein Leben lang gesammelt und ergänzt. Er gilt als der wohl beste Kenner der Quellen, die zum größten Teil von den Tätern stammen. Sie haben - gründlich, wie sie waren - die Beweise ihres Mordhandwerks hunderttausendfach abgeheftet - mit Briefkopf und Dienstsiegel.§Die vorliegende Gesamtgeschichte des Holocaust ist "... Quelle für den Spezialisten, Analyse für den Theoretiker und Geschichtsbuch ohnegleichen für das allgemeine Publikum" (Sunday Times).§
