Beschreibung

"Book Trade Networks" unveils the intricate history of how books, as tangible vessels of knowledge, traversed the globe through intertwined networks of trade, war, and diplomacy. This exploration sheds light on the evolution of global intellectual exchange and the formation of cultural identities.

 
Intriguingly, books weren't merely commodities; they served as potent instruments of propaganda and vital tools in diplomatic negotiations, influencing historical events in profound ways.

 
The book adopts a multifaceted approach, drawing from diverse sources like archival records and trade documents to connect fields such as history, literature, and political science. It progresses thematically, first examining trade routes like the Silk Road, then delving into the impact of war, including book confiscation and censorship. Finally, it explores how books were used in diplomacy to foster cultural understanding.

 
Understanding these historical networks provides valuable insights into contemporary issues like the spread of misinformation and the role of technology in shaping cultural narratives.

    'I know that what I've learnt in the past two years will help me for the rest of my life. My hope is that you will see yourself reflected in my own journey, and . . . consider who you will become in this new world of ours. Who we all might become.'
    If you're suffering from a crisis of meaning, you're not alone. In this powerful new book, future strategist John Sanei shares how he found ways to cope with the uncertainty that has been all around us in the past two years. Lockdown meant his career came to a screeching halt. He was living with his parents and then had to battle loneliness until he started to reassess who he was and what he wanted from life.
    Infused with empathy and personal anecdote, Who Do We Become? explores our individual responsibility to evolve into more decent, dynamic versions of ourselves, our businesses and humanity as a whole – especially in times of crisis.
    The book is divided into three sections. In Part 1: ANGUISH, John explores how to courageously mourn the loss of our 'normal' pre-COVID world. Part 2: ABNORMAL, shows us how to understand this new environment and recognise that uncertainty is the new normal. Then, in Part 3: ADVENTURE, John provides a toolkit for us to forge out into the new world, to succeed and recognise the signs of rebirth and renewal.
    Travel with John as he maps out our strange, new world and lays down a path to reframe our thinking, to recognise our discomfort, to survive and thrive.

    The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens. 
     
     
     
    Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light—or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage. 
     
     
     
    Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)—these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters—and the God-monster—may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.

    The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
    The roots of the British Empire can be traced back to England’s desire to expand its economic and political influence, driven by competition with other European powers like Spain and Portugal, who were leading the Age of Exploration. These countries had established lucrative colonial empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, amassing great wealth and resources. Inspired by their success, England, along with France and the Netherlands, began establishing its own colonies and trading posts, particularly in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 
    During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British Empire grew in strength through a combination of military conquests, naval power, and strategic alliances. Following its unification with Scotland through the 1707 Act of Union, Britain emerged as a major colonial power, extending its control across vast regions. The empire's reach expanded dramatically after the series of conflicts with its rivals, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the long-standing hostilities with France, culminating in Britain's dominance over North America and its influence over global trade routes.

    Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.
    
    This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
    This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
    Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.
