Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the most powerful forces in the world; money, nations, laws, human rights don't actually exist Not as a philosophical riddle. As a literal, verifiable, history-changing fact.>The Fiction Engine is a sweeping, provocative history of the one adaptation that made Homo sapiens the undisputed master of the planet, not tools, not fire, not superior intelligence, but the uniquely human capacity to believe in things together. And to build entire civilizations out of those beliefs.Across four gripping parts, Samuel M. Goldstein dismantles the comfortable stories we tell about human progress: - The Agricultural Revolution was not a triumph, it was history's most consequential trap, and wheat was the one who set it.- Money is not an economic tool, it is a social technology of trust so powerful that Roman and Carthaginian merchants traded through the very wars their armies were fighting.- Religion never died, it secularized. Humanism, with its sacred texts, its temples, and its inquisition, is a faith that simply won't admit what it is.-The Scientific Revolution's most radical idea was not a discovery about the universe. It was a discovery about knowledge itself, the audacious decision to institutionalize ignorance.>Goldstein moves with the narrative confidence of Yuval Noah Harari and the analytical precision of Jared Diamond, drawing on evolutionary biology, cognitive science, economic history, and philosophy to tell the story of what we are, how we got here, and what we may be about to become.>The Fiction Engine is for readers who want their assumptions challenged, their history reframed, and their understanding of the present permanently disrupted. It is for anyone who has ever wondered why we cooperate, why we fight, and why -alone among the animals - we cannot stop believing in things that aren't there.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Definitive, Accessible, and Deeply Human History of the Twentieth Century's Darkest Hour.The Holocaust was not an inevitable natural disaster, nor did it begin with the construction of gas chambers. It was a human event, designed by human minds, and executed by a highly educated, culturally sophisticated nation. How did a modern democracy collapse so rapidly into a totalitarian state And how did centuries of prejudice mutate into an industrialized machinery of genocide In The Jews and the Third Reich, historian Samuel M. Goldstein provides a masterful, sweeping, and profoundly accessible overview of the Holocaust. Moving beyond a simple timeline of atrocities, Goldstein untangles the complex web of history to answer three vital questions: What happened, why did it happen, and how did it lead to the Holocaust From the ancient roots of religious anti-Judaism to the pseudo-science of 19th-century racial antisemitism, this book traces the devastating evolution of hatred. Readers will follow the tragic arc of European Jewry through the vibrant but fragile Weimar Republic, the rapid dismantling of civil rights in 1933, the suffocating isolation of the ghettos, and ultimately, the mechanized horror of the extermination camps.Rather than focusing solely on the fanaticism of the Nazi leadership, Goldstein turns a critical eye toward the chilling complicity of ordinary citizens, the bureaucratic 'desk murderers,' and a paralyzed global order that closed its borders to those desperately seeking refuge.Inside this comprehensive volume, you will discover: - The Roots of Hatred: How centuries of European prejudice and conspiracy theories fertilized the soil for Nazi ideology.- The crucial role played by civil servants, doctors, engineers, and ordinary bystanders who normalized the unthinkable.- The tragic failure of the international community, the legacy of World War I, and the impact of strict immigration barriers.- Powerful, heartbreaking accounts of spiritual resistance, armed uprisings like the Warsaw Ghetto revolt, hidden children, and the extraordinary courage of the Righteous Among the Nations.- An urgent reflection on Holocaust denial, the shape of contemporary antisemitism, and the fragility of modern civilization.The Jews and the Third Reich is essential reading. Whether you are a student, an educator, or a general reader seeking to understand the mechanics of totalitarianism, this book offers a clear, analytical, and deeply moving narrative.It is a sobering reminder of the past, and a powerful call to vigilance in the present.…
