Blazek P: Living Torches in the Soviet
Bloc

Living Torches in the Soviet Bloc

Politically Motivated Cases of Self-Immolation, 1966-1989

Die Tech-Milliardäre wollen die Welt ändern - auch unsere.Trump ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Die Netzwerke von US-Tech-Milliardären wie Thiel, Musk und Co sind erstaunlich weit verzweigt. Und sie wollen nicht nur die Demokratie in den USA abschaffen, sie wollen die Welt verändern. Peters/Vogel liefern das erste umfassende Buch über ihre Vordenker, ihre Netzwerke, ihre Pläne und ihre politische Virulenz.Es klingt wie eine Verschwörungstheorie, aber zunehmend wird klar: Die Aushöhlung der US-Demokratie ist kein Zufall. Hinter der Trump-Regierung steht eine unheilige Allianz aus Tech-Milliardären, in deren Gedankenwelt eine wilde Mischung aus enthemmter Technologiegläubigkeit, Science-Fiction-Fantasien von Unsterblichkeit, Mars-Besiedelung, KI-gesteuerten Kriegen und rücksichtsloser Sieger-Mentalität vorherrscht. Über Mittelsmänner wie JD Vance haben sie Zugang zur Macht und werden ihn auch lange nach Donald Trump noch behalten. Die Europäische Union, westliches Demokratieverständnis und traditionelle Vorstellungen von Menschenwürde sind für sie Schnee von gestern. Und sie wollen ihren Ideen global zum Sieg verhelfen - weshalb sie weltweit agieren und in Europa Reaktionäre wie Orban, Fico und die AfD tatkräftig unterstützen.

Wie Thiel, Musk & Co unsere Demokratien zerstören wollen

In this hitherto unpublished treatise, Grotius examines what kinds of partnerships between Christians and non-Christians are legally permissible. This edition provides a critical introduction and an annotated Latin text with English translation.

Introduction, Transcription and English Translation

Hugo Grotius's on Public Partnership with Unbelievers (de Societate Publica Cum Infidelibus)

The nuclear age came into existence with the explosion of the first atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945. The inauguration of this new era was epitomized by the bomb's principal creator, J. Robert Oppenheimer, quoting the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." Since then, the era of the atom has become the age of the bomb-or two bombs: atomic and hydrogen.In The Nuclear Age, Serhii Plokhy, one of our preeminent Cold War historians, explores why governments have acquired and stockpiled nuclear weapons and reveals the global failure to reach meaningful nuclear arms treaties. Plokhy shows how, since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, the risk of nuclear war has never been so high: Russia threatens nuclear aggression in its war on Ukraine; China is constructing hundreds of new missile silos; and India and Pakistan are locked in ongoing nuclear competition. Plokhy also examines how more countries than ever have come within perilous reach of acquiring nuclear arms, while new technologies, such as hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence, make the nuclear landscape increasingly unpredictable.From Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Castle Bravo test of 1954, to the rapidly developing nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran, The Nuclear Age reveals the fear that governs the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Plokhy profiles the global players who have diagnosed, stoked, and influenced this fear, from H. G. Wells to Nikita Khrushchev and Vladimir Putin, and he outlines what we might learn from our past to control today's arms race. As the danger of nuclear war remains imminent, The Nuclear Age diagnoses our era of rearmament.

An Epic Race for Arms, Power, and Survival

The Nuclear Age

When energy transitions are disrupted, who benefits and who pays the price? Transitions to greener energy are often imagined as smooth, technical fixes. In reality, however, they often take place in rural and remote areas, far from centres of consumption and political power, where communities live with the environmental, social, and economic consequences. Energy transitions can disrupt everyday life, affecting livelihoods, identities, and connections to the land. When projects themselves remain 'on the edge'--delayed, contested, or reshaped--they can be both disruptive and generative, opening space for experimentation, dialogue, and new ways of imagining the future. The authors of On the edge of change: Nordic energy transitions disrupted explore energy transitions in the peripheral regions of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. Drawing on both humanities and social science perspectives, the studies examine green investments, colonial legacies, and contested futures, showing how these regions offer vital lessons for shaping conditions for just and sustainable energy transitions.

On the Edge of Change

A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon by Eric King is a searing firsthand account from inside the most repressive prison in the United States, a place built not for rehabilitation but for disappearance.The federal supermax ADX Florence is the most secure facility in the United States, a dungeon of isolation, sensory deprivation, and psychological disintegration. Here, cruelty isn’t accidental; it’s the design. Built in 1995, the “Alcatraz of the Rockies” was made to cage the so-called worst of the worst: bombers, gang leaders, political enemies, and anyone the government deems too rebellious, too inconvenient, or too visible.Among them was antifascist prisoner Eric King, targeted for his politics, brutally tortured by the Bureau of Prisons, and ultimately entombed at ADX after beating a politically motivated federal prosecution. A Clean Hell tells the story of Eric’s decade behind bars: the years of surveillance and retaliation, the years locked in solitary confinement, the reality of being known as a “race traitor,” and the daily acts of resistance that kept him—and others—alive.More than just a firsthand survival story and exposé, this is a blistering indictment of the carceral state and the sanitized violence it tries to hide. A Clean Hell is a crucial document of solidarity and struggle inside the belly of the beast and required reading for anyone concerned with mass incarceration, political repression, or the inhumane architecture of the US prison system.

A Clean Hell

“Nadia is a fierce warrior for justice and a beautiful human being I feel privileged to know. She will inspire women for generations.” —Amal Clooney In a lyrical and profoundly moving memoir, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nadia Murad reclaims her extraordinary journey from the embers of devastation to a fight for freedom—and for what comes next when a young girl’s flame cannot be extinguished. In 2014, Nadia Murad was living in northern Iraq when her world was shattered. Fighters from the so-called Islamic State attacked her village, massacring hundreds—including her mother and six of her brothers—and forcing her, along with thousands of Yazidi women and girls, into ISIS’s system of sexual slavery. Her life since then has been split in two. In one she is a global symbol of courage —a survivor and activist who has stood before world leaders to demand justice. In the other, she is a woman learning how to be a friend, a student, a wife; a woman rediscovering ordinary joy. In I Choose My Beginning, Nadia brings these two selves together. With honesty and grace, she transforms the pain of her past into a life defined not by what was done to her, but by strength, perseverance, and the freedom to choose happiness. From reshaping international law to building a life filled with friendship and love, Nadia carries the memory of those she lost and those who survived. Their presence reminds her—and all of us—that she has always been more than a victim. Powerful and deeply inspiring, I Choose My Beginning is the story of an extraordinary woman reclaiming her humanity—and showing that survival is not the end of the story. It is the beginning.

A Story of Courage and Activism

I Choose My Beginning

In 1978 the Bulgarian author and dissident Georgi Markov was assassinated by a poisoned umbrella on Waterloo Bridge in London. His murder is the most iconic killing in almost five decades of the Cold War, and no one has ever been prosecuted for it. The Umbrella Murder reveals the real architect and hit man behind this spectacular killing: a spy code-named Piccadilly who worked for the Bulgarian secret service and the KGB, who has been hiding for more than forty years. Written as a modern-day thriller, and drawing on an incredible thirty-year cache of original documents and recordings and never-before-seen archive material -- some not even seen by police or secret services -- this is a jaw-dropping and page-turning search for justice in the murky underworld of intelligence and across the shifting sands of spycraft.

The Hunt for the Notorious Cold War Killer

The Umbrella Murder

What can anthroposophy, a spiritual movement started by Rudolf Steiner more than a hundred years ago, offer an ailing world? Much, very much, it turns out.This volume is a collection of inspiring and fascinating biographical and autobiographical essays by and about people who have successfully applied, in different ways, the fundamental insights of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science to social and practical life: in education, agriculture, business, caring for others, working towards peace, and more. From transforming a business, to starting one of the first CSAs in the United States, to working with inner city youth in Detroit or working for peace in war-torn countries, each writer relates their inner and outer journey, revealing the threads of destiny which led each person to engage with the needs and suffering of the world.The essays collected here by Christopher Schaefer are meant to help and inspire the healing of social life now, out of the life stories of individuals who have not only been "moved" by social concerns, and destiny, but have themselves taken action and moved things forward.

**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** **WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR** Patriot is the unforgettable life story of one of the most fearless and inspiring figures of our time. 'Mind-blowing ... one extraordinary read' EMILY MAITLIS 'Charisma and courage dazzle on every page' SUNDAY TIMES 'Part memoir, part diary, a political manifesto, a darkly funny adieu' BEN MACINTYRE Alexei Navalny's poisoning in 2020 by the Russian security services was a global news event. In 2024 he was killed in a brutal Arctic prison. He began writing Patriot whilst recovering from his poisoning; it ends with his secret prison diaries. HUSBAND: He was a beacon to millions and became the sole political threat to Vladimir Putin. This is his life in his own words: his political awakening, his marriage and beloved family, his total commitment to taking on a corrupt regime and his enduring love of Russia and its people. PRISONER: We witness his message of hope gain nationwide support, his many arrests and harassment, and the incredible attempt on his life. We understand why he felt he had to return to Russia. In prison, we feel the power of his unbreakable spirit and sense of humour. PATRIOT: Patriot is as dramatic as Navalny's life - and full of the passionate belief that good and freedom will prevail. It is an astonishingly positive account of a heroic life. 'A worthy testament to Navalny's courage, defiance and humour' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Inspiring, emboldening - a voice that will not be forgotten' NEW YORKER * A NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST AND EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR * (Sunday Times bestseller October 2024)

For the first time, The Merchant of Venice looks at the place and role of the late medieval merchant nobility in the great international trade that took place in the world known at the time, from China and Asia to Flanders and England. These merchants who travelled the world were also shipowners, sailors and bankers. They used modern banking techniques and credit based on bills of exchange held no secrets for them. They traded spices, porcelain, cotton and silk, dyes and glassware for drapery, wool and metals. These merchants used part of their profit to embellish their city, which amazed foreign visitors, and were always on the lookout for the latest discoveries and inventions. Venice was at the height of its power at the time, but it was also on the eve of its weakening.
