A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapseIn 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen?In this major new account of the causes of this "First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries.A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age―and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.

Bei dieser Etüdensammlung aus dem Jahre 1826 handelt es sich nicht nur um das bedeutendste Jugendwerk Franz Liszts, sondern auch um die Vorläuferfassung der "Etudes d'execution transcendante" (UT 50233), welche aufschlussreiche Einblicke in Liszts pianistische und kompositorische Entwicklung gestattet. Die Etüden, deren jede sich einem speziellen technischen Problem widmet, ermöglichen fortgeschrittenen Schülern (ab Mittelstufe) einen Einstieg in das Werk Liszts und erweisen sich zugleich als hervorragende Alternative zu den anspruchsvolleren Etüden von Carl Czerny. Die vorliegende Neuausgabe verwendet erstmals die französische Erstausgabe sowie auszugsweise die Autographe als Hauptquelle, nicht jedoch die von Liszt nicht autorisierten deutschen Nachdrucke. So können zahlreiche Irrtümer in Notentext, Artikulation und Dynamik korrigiert werden. Die Interpretationshinweise geben u.a. Hintergrundinformationen über den jungen Liszt als Lehrer und den Einsatz von Etüden in seinem Unterricht.Schwierigkeitsgrad: 2-3

Nur die wenigsten Werke der Klavierliteratur sind so populär geworden wie dieses Thema mit zwölf Variationen. Schon bald nach Mozarts Tod setzte seine Beliebtheit ein, wovon zahlreiche handschriftliche Kopien und Drucke zeugen. Zu den Umständen der Entstehung gibt es zwar keine sicheren Erkenntnisse. "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman" wird aber inzwischen schlüssig auf 1781 datiert. Mozart wollte damals in Wien als prominenter Klavierlehrer reüssieren. Ein vorzügliches Unterrichtswerk sind seine Variationen bis heute geblieben. Unsere Ausgabe ist grundlegend revidiert und bietet zudem nun ein äußerst informatives Vorwort des Mozart-Experten Ulrich Konrad. Ein Faksimile des Werkes nach Mozarts Manuskript ist ebenfalls bei Henle erschienen (HN 3213). Mehr zu dieser Ausgabe im Henle-Blog.

Over the years, startling evidence has been uncovered, challenging established notions of the origins of life on Earth—evidence that suggests the existence of an advanced group of extraterrestrials who once inhabited our world.The first book of the revolutionary Earth Chronicles series offers indisputable documentary evidence of the existence of the mysterious planet Nibiru and tells why its astronauts came to Earth eons ago to fashion mankind in their image.The product of more than thirty years of meticulous research, The 12th Planet treats as fact, not myth, the tales of Creation, the Deluge, the Tower of Babel, and the Nefilim who married the daughters of man. By weaving together the biblical narrative with Sumerian and Babylonian clay-tablet texts, it challenges the established notions of the origins of Earth and mankind, and offers a compelling alternative history and prehistory of both.

Ein Buch wie eine Flaschenpost aus der Tiefe. In kurzen Fragmenten, Momentaufnahmen und inneren Monologen wirft dieses Buch Licht auf Gedanken, die sonst im Dunkeln bleiben. Es erzählt nicht linear, nicht vollständig sondern bruchstückhaft, so wie Erinnerungen eben sind. Was bleibt von einem Menschen, wenn man nur in seine Schatten blickt? Wenn man nicht das große Ganze, sondern nur das Zittern in der Stimme, den flüchtigen Blick aus dem Fenster, das verstohlene Schlucken zwischen zwei Worten beschreibt? Diese Miniaturen fragen nicht nach Lösungen. Sie spüren. Sie frieren ein. Sie lassen zurück. Und manchmal, wenn man ganz genau hinfühlt, erkennt man sich selbst.

"Kick bad mental habits and toughen yourself up."--Inc. Master your mental strength--revolutionary new strategies that work for everyone from homemakers to soldiers and teachers to CEOs. Everyone knows that regular exercise and weight training lead to physical strength. But how do we strengthen ourselves mentally for the truly tough times? And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness. Indulging in self-pity, agonizing over things beyond our control, obsessing over past events, resenting the achievements of others, or expecting immediate positive results holds us back. This list of things mentally strong people don't do resonated so much with readers that when it was picked up by Forbes.com it received ten million views. Now, for the first time, Morin expands upon the thirteen things from her viral post and shares her tried-and-true practices for increasing mental strength. Morin writes with searing honesty, incorporating anecdotes from her work as a college psychology instructor and psychotherapist as well as personal stories about how she bolstered her own mental strength when tragedy threatened to consume her. Increasing your mental strength can change your entire attitude. It takes practice and hard work, but with Morin's specific tips, exercises, and troubleshooting advice, it is possible to not only fortify your mental muscle but also drastically improve the quality of your life.

But there are very specific tips that each woman, no matter her age or her station in life, can follow right now to make important and significant changes. In this book, women will learn to flex their mental muscles and hurdle over the roadblocks that keep them from achieving their greatest goals. While many people focus on what women should do to live their best lives, only one author will tell women in no uncertain terms which behaviors to avoid in order to become mentally strong.Now Amy Morin, psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, teaches women everywhere how to fortify themselves and face challenges in this powerful, necessary book for our time, breaking down the thirteen habits and mind-sets that women must avoid in order to master their mental strength. These thirteen tried-and-true principles show women how to tackle problems and tough situations in order to live their best?and most powerful?lives, and there's no better guide through the process than Morin, the leading global voice on mental strength. Drawing on scientific evidence, case studies from her own patients, and even celebrity stories of hardship and triumph, Morin shows how mental strength can come from anywhere regardless of career, marriage, or family life. From introducing ways to stop blaming yourself to becoming a rule-breaker, Morin demonstrates how to navigate some of the hardest challenges that women face, while proposing experience-based solutions that promote mental fortitude. By integrating these easy-to-follow exercises and practical tips into daily life, Morin shows that mental strength is achievable?and necessary?to become a strong woman. In addition she discusses how mental strength practice can help with the difficult realities of sexism that still exist even in the era of the #MeToo movement and awareness of workplace harassment, providing specific strategies for dealing with these persistent issues. Featuring stories and experiences from dozens of women and offering a timely approach to the hard-hitting difficulties women are facing?including calling out sexism, fighting harassment, and finding confidence?Morin confronts the status quo by giving women the time, space, and energy to prioritize themselves. The end result frees you from the confusing practices and obstacles that women face every day, and helps inspire you to achieve the mental strength you need to create a life of authentic meaning and joy.
