Ewald Frie erzählt die Geschichte der Welt erstmals ganz voraussetzungslos aus einer wahrhaft globalen Perspektive. Athen rückt so an den Rand, aber das traumhaft schöne Kilwa in Afrika wird niemand vergessen, der dieses mit wunderbarer Leichtigkeit geschriebene Buch gelesen hat. Die Geschichte der Welt wird bis heute von Europa aus erzählt. Höchste Zeit für einen frischen Blick: Australien wurde vom Homo sapiens früher besiedelt als Europa. Menschen fuhren Tausende Kilometer über den offenen Pazifik, als die Römer noch ängstlich an der Küste entlangsegelten. Die Pyramiden und Städte Amerikas können es mit Babylon und Ägypten aufnehmen. Und während Westeuropa in der Neuzeit Glaubenskriege führte, erstreckte sich ein multikultureller Handelsraum von Ungarn bis Südindien. Aber natürlich geht es auch um die Barbaren im Abendland: Ewald Frie erzählt von ihren Entdeckungen und Eroberungen, ihren Revolutionen und Kriegen, die die Welt verändert haben. Seitdem wird unser Planet zu einer glob

How would you describe the love of God? Throughout the Gospel accounts, Jesus engaged women differently than He did men. Sometimes the difference is subtle. Sometimes it is stark. Always it is profound. Sometimes the love He offers them is gentle. Sometimes it is fierce. Always it is powerful. Sometimes that love feels like a warm embrace. Sometimes it's more like a piercing jab. Always, it changes everything. Women today long to experience the same sort of life-changing love that Jesus lavished on His followers 2000 years ago. We still want to be completely seen and known and valued and set free--as painful as that process might sometimes be. Pierced and Embraced digs deeply into seven encounters that Jesus had with a wide variety of women in the Gospels to show how His love can be equally transformative in our lives today. It mixes attentive Scriptural engagement with personal narrative and relevant application, making the content fresh, accessible, engaging, and practical. You w

In the second book in Osho's Foundation of a New Humanity series, he explores the integral role of women in our society. The realm of spirituality, he poses, has remained male-dominated - not only male-dominated but male-chauvinistic. There were reasons why all religions and spiritual traditions, in their nascent forms, diminished women. They were against women because they were fear-driving. They were against any joy, any love, any celebration. The simple way to drive fear was to condemn women, and separate her from man as much as possible. In The Book of Women, Osho strives to separate spirituality from its ascetic past and celebrate women. He looks to the female spirit as a way of nurturing the soul and cultivating a healthy relationship with spirituality. Product details Format Paperback

***Elizabeth Day's new novel Magpie is publishing this September and is available to pre-order now.*** Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting, inspiring and rich

Der Vatikan und die verbotenen Bücher Das Christentum ist eine Buchreligion - und doch oder gerade deshalb verbrennt es Bücher: die Heilige Schrift genauso wie medizinische, juristische, naturwissenschaftliche, belletristische, klassische, theologische und philosophische Literatur. Das Medium Buch ist so gefährlich, dass sich die kirchliche Autorität lange nur mit Bücherverboten zu helfen wusste. Im Vatikan lagert dazu eine Fülle von höchst aufschlussreichem Material: ein einmaliges Archiv neuheitlicher Wissenskultur mit negativem Vorzeichen. Hubert Wolf bietet einen Überblick über Entstehung, Geschichte und Arbeitsweise der Indexkongregation und beschreibt, wie Bücher in ihr Visier gerieten, wer die Zensoren waren, die die "gefährlichen" Bücher lasen, und welche Folgen eine Verurteilung hatte. Nicht zuletzt erzählt er von überraschenden Prozessen und Urteilen, etwa gegen den "Knigge" und "Onkel Toms Hütte", gegen Leopold von Rankes Papstgeschichte oder We
