You, Your Life, and the Truth You’ve Been Avoiding

Now What?

Zwischen Nebel, Reben und alten Fehden lauert in Fläsch ein Verbrechen, das tiefer geht als jeder Abgrund.
Als der Winzer Peter «Peg» Conzett frühmorgens zwischen seinen Reben die Leiche eines jungen Mannes im Wingsuit entdeckt, scheint alles auf einen tödlichen Basejump-Unfall hinzudeuten. Doch Kommissarin Lea Gartmann glaubt nicht an Zufälle. Zu viele Widersprüche, zu viele Lügen und ein Dorf, das seine Geheimnisse lieber im Weinkeller vergräbt als ans Licht bringt.
Während Schuld, Gier und jahrzehntelanger Hass langsam an die Oberfläche drängen, gerät Lea in ein Netz aus familiären Abgründen, zerstörten Träumen und tödlichen Intrigen. Denn hinter der idyllischen Fassade der Bündner Herrschaft gärt etwas Dunkles. Und manchmal ist der gefährlichste Sprung nicht der vom Felsen, sondern der in die Wahrheit.
Ein atmosphärischer Bündner Thriller voller Spannung, schwarzem Humor und erschütternder menschlicher Abgründe. Für alle, die regionale Krimis mit Charakter, Dialekt und unerwarteten Wendungen lieben.

Ein Herrschäftler Thriller

A new history that tells the story of how European imperial ambitions destroyed the Ottoman Empire during the Great War and created a divided and unstable Middle East The Ottoman Empire’s collapse at the end of the First World War is often treated as a foregone conclusion. It was only a matter of time, the story goes, before the so-called Sick Man of Europe succumbed to its ailments—incompetent management, nationalism, and ethnic and religious conflict. In The War That Made the Middle East, Mustafa Aksakal overturns this conventional narrative. He describes how European imperial ambitions and the Ottoman commitment to saving its empire at any cost—including the destruction of the Armenian community and the deaths of more than a million Ottoman troops and other civilians—led to the empire’s violent partition and created a politically unstable Middle East. The War That Made the Middle East shows that, until 1914, the Ottoman Empire was a viable multiethnic, multireligious state, and that relations between the Arabs, Jews, Muslims, and Christians of Palestine were relatively stable. When war broke out, the Ottoman government sought an alliance with the Entente but was rejected because of British and French designs on the Eastern Mediterranean. After the Ottomans entered the fight on the side of Germany and were defeated, Britain and France seized Ottoman lands, and new national elites in former Ottoman territories claimed their own states. The region was renamed “the Middle East,” erasing a robust and modernizing 600-year-old empire. A sweeping narrative of war, great power politics, and ordinary people caught up in the devastation, The War That Made the Middle East offers new insights about the Great War and its profound and lasting consequences.

A Novel

The Project

A fascinating account of the Fifth Crusade, the campaign to conquer Egypt and regain the Holy LandIn 1217, the crusader states were in a highly fragile condition. The Fourth Crusade had failed, and Jerusalem had not been recovered. The crusaders now set their sights on Egypt. If the breadbasket of the Mediterranean could be conquered, long-term Christian control of the Holy Land could be ensured. Led by the rulers of Hungary and Austria, and backed by the Knights Templar and Hospitaller, the Fifth Crusade was launched.Thomas Smith tells the gripping story of the crusade for Egypt. Looking at a wide range of Christian and Muslim sources, Smith sheds new light on the brutal reality of medieval combat on land and water. We see a dramatic beach landing, the invention of a unique floating siege engine, and the conquest of the crucial port city of Damietta-one of the most famous and successful sieges of the crusades. Smith provides fresh insights into strategy, showing how, despite early victories, foolish decision making meant that the crusaders ultimately snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

A revolutionary new paradigm for understanding addiction Why do people with addiction use drugs self-destructively? Why don’t they quit out of self-concern? Why does the rat in the experiment, alone in a cage, press the lever again and again for cocaine—to the point of death? In this pathbreaking book, Hanna Pickard proposes a new paradigm for understanding the puzzle of addiction. For too long, our thinking has been hostage to a false dichotomy: either addiction is a brain disease, or it is a moral failing. Pickard argues that it is neither, and that both models stifle addiction research and fail people who need help. Drawing on her expertise as an academic philosopher and her clinical work in a therapeutic community, Pickard explores the meaning of drugs for people with addiction and the diverse factors that keep them using despite the costs. People use drugs to cope with suffering—but also to self-harm, or even to die. Some identify as “addicts," while others are in denial or struggle with cravings and self-control. Social, cultural, and economic circumstances are crucial to explaining addiction—but brain pathology may also matter. By integrating addiction science with philosophy, clinical practice, and the psychology and voices of people with addiction themselves, Pickard shows why there is no one-size-fits-all theory or ethics of addiction. The result is a heterogeneous and humanistic paradigm for understanding and treating addiction, and a fresh way of thinking about responsibility, blame, and relationships with people who use drugs.

What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine?
