Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A "lively, wide-ranging" (TheTimes, UK)cultural history of the goddess of love Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, rising out of a froth of white foam. But long before the ancient Greeks conceived of this voluptuous blonde, she existed as an early spirit of fertility on the sho…res of Cyprusand thousands of years before that, as a ferocious warrior-goddess in the Middle East. Historian Bettany Hughes reveals the remarkable life story of one of antiquity's most potent myths.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A Financial Times Best History Book of the Year An award-winning scholar's account of an ancient city's descent into unprecedented communal violencean event that would mark the end of the old Ottoman order and the beginning of the modern Middle East. "A stunning portrait of the Ottoman empire and of…Damascus during a time of crisis. Absolutely riveting." Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads On July 9, 1860, a violent mob swept through the Christian quarters of Damascus. For eight days, violence raged, leaving five thousand Christians dead, thousands of shops looted, and churches, houses, and monasteries razed. The sudden and ferocious outbreak shocked the world, leaving Syrian Christians vulnerable and fearing renewed violence. Drawn from never-before-seen eyewitness accounts of the Damascus Events, eminent Middle East historian Eugene Rogan tells the story of how a peaceful multicultural city came to be engulfed in slaughter. He traces how rising tensions between Muslim and Christian communities led some to regard extermination as a reasonable solution.Rogan also narrates the wake of this disaster, and how the Ottoman government moved quickly to retake control of the city, end the violence, and reintegrate Christians into the community. These efforts to rebuild Damascus proved successful, preserving peace for the next 150 years until 2011. The Damascus Events offers a vivid history, one that masterfully uncovers the outbreak of violence that unmade a great city and examines the possibility, even after searing conflict and unimaginable tragedy, of repair.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 400 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A must-read."?Avi Loeb, New York Timesbestselling author of Extraterrestrial One of the preeminent mathematicians of the past half century shows how physics and math were combined to give us the theory of gravity and the dizzying array of ideas and insights that has come from it Mathematics is far…more than just the language of science. It is a critical underpinning of nature. The famed physicist Albert Einstein demonstrated this in 1915 when he showed that gravitylong considered an attractive force between massive objectswas actually a manifestation of the curvature, or geometry, of space and time. But in making this towering intellectual leap, Einstein needed the help of several mathematicians, including Marcel Grossmann, who introduced him to the geometrical framework upon which his theory rest. In The Gravity of Math, Steve Nadis and Shing-Tung Yau consider how math can drive and sometimes even anticipate discoveries in physics. Examining phenomena like black holes, gravitational waves, and the Big Bang, Nadis and Yau ask: Why do mathematical statements, derived solely from logic, provide the best descriptions of our physical world The Gravity of Math offers an insightful and compelling look into the power of mathematicswhose reach, like that of gravity, can extend to the edge of the universe.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For as long as queer women have existed, they've created gathering grounds where they can be themselves. From the intimate darkness of the lesbian bar to the sweaty camaraderie of the softball field, these spaces aren't a luxury--they're a necessity for queer women defining their identities. In A Pl…ace of Our Own, journalist June Thomas invites readers into six iconic lesbian spaces over the course of the last sixty years, including the rural commune, the sex toy boutique, the vacation spot, and the feminist bookstore. Thomas blends her own experiences with archival research and rare interviews with pioneering figures like Elaine Romagnoli, Susie Bright, and Jacqueline Woodson. She richly illustrates the lives of the business owners, entrepreneurs, activists, and dreamers who shaped the long struggle for queer liberation. Thomas illuminates what is gained and lost in the shift from the exclusive, tight-knit women's spaces of the '70s toward today's more inclusive yet more diffuse LGBTQ+ communities. At once a love letter, a time capsule, and a bridge between generations of queer women, A Place of Our Own brings the history--and timeless present--of the lesbian community to vivid life. -- Provided by publisher.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A concise, definitive history of the precarious relationship among the US, China, and Taiwan Named a Best Book of 2024 by theNew Statesman\* BBC History Magazine As tensions over Taiwan escalate, the United States and China stand on the brink of a catastrophic war. Resolving the impasse demands we u…nderstand how it began. In 1943, the Allies declared that Japanese-held Taiwan would return to China at the conclusion of World War II. The Chinese civil war led to a change of plans. The Communist Party came to power in China and the defeated Nationalist leader, Chiang Kai-shek, fled to Taiwan, where he was afforded US protection. The specter of conflict has loomed ever since. In The Struggle for Taiwan, Sulmaan Wasif Khan offers the first comprehensive history of the triangular relationship between the United States, China, and Taiwan, exploring America's ambivalent commitment to Taiwan's defense, China's bitterness about the separation, and Taiwan's impressive transformation into a flourishing democracy. War is not inevitable, Khan shows, but to avoid it, decision-makers must heed the lessons of the past. From the White Terror to the Taiwan Straits Crises, from the normalization of Sino-American relations to Trump-era rising tensions, The Struggle for Taiwan charts the paths to our present predicament to show what futures might be possible.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The definitive history of the Capetians, the crusading dynasty that made the French crown the wealthiest and most powerful in medieval Europe and forged France as we know it today. 'A joy to read . one of the most entertaining popular history books published in recent years.' -Dan Jones, Sunday Time…s In House of Lilies, historian Justine Firnhaber-Baker tells the epic story of the Capetian dynasty of medieval France. Reigning from 987 to 1328 and consolidating a fragmented realm that eventually stretched from the Rhône to the Pyrenees, the Capetians became the most powerful monarchy of the Middle Ages. They were at the center of some of the most dramatic episodes in European history, including the Crusades, bloody waves of religious persecution, and a series of wars with England. The Capetian age also saw the emergence of Gothic architecture, the romantic ideals of chivalry and courtly love, and the Church's role at the center of daily life. Evocatively interweaving these pivotal developments with the human stories of the men and women who drove them, this is the definitive history of the dynasty that forged France-and Europe-as we know it.
