Beschreibung

In "The Balkans," Arnold Toynbee delves into the complex historical and cultural dynamics of Southeast Europe, examining the region's multifaceted identity and its historical oscillation between conflict and cooperation. Through a rich narrative that intertwines historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, Toynbee employs a comparative approach, situating the Balkans within the broader European context while emphasizing the unique influences of geography and religion. The prose is both accessible and erudite, reflecting Toynbee's interest in the interplay between societal values and historical events, thus inviting readers to ponder the cyclical nature of history. Arnold Toynbee, a British historian and philosopher of history, was deeply influenced by his contemporaries and the tumultuous events of the 20th century, including both World Wars and the fragmentation of empires. His experiences witnessing the aftermath of these conflicts informed his perspective on the Balkans as a crucial theater for understanding broader patterns of human civilization and societal resilience. Toynbee's scholarly work reflects his belief in the interconnectedness of history, offering a lens through which to view the challenges faced by modern societies. "The Balkans" is recommended for anyone interested in the geopolitical intricacies of Europe, as it provides profound insights into the socio-cultural landscapes that continue to shape contemporary political discourse. Readers will find Toynbee's analytical rigor and philosophical engagement enlightening, making this work an essential addition to the library of anyone seeking to comprehend the enduring complexities of the Balkans.

    Lord Haw-Haw was a nickname given to the American-born Brit, William Joyce, who broadcast Nazi propaganda to Britain from Germany during the Second World War. Lord Haw-Haw was a Nazi broadcaster during World War II. Joyce emigrated to Germany and broadcast Nazi messages for several years. The Reich Ministry of Propaganda used these broadcasts to discourage and demoralize Allied forces and the British population by exaggerating their war losses. Up to 60% of the British population actually tuned in to Lord Haw-Haw’s broadcasts. They lasted from 1939-1945. Eventually Joyce was captured by Allied forces and brought back to England for trial. He was convicted of treason and hanged on January 3, 1946. This recording from April 9, 1940 is about the Nazi invasion of Denmark and Norway.

    Sacred Drugs - How Psychoactive...

    Sacred Drugs explores the numerous ways in which psychoactive substances, from alcohol to psilocybin, cannabis to pharmaceuticals, and coffee to tobacco, intersect with religious life. This cutting-edge volume acknowledges the ubiquity of drug use in American society and that, in fact, being drugged with an altered state of consciousness is a common feature of American life today, as it has been throughout human history and across global ancient cultures. Its focus is on the undeniable and pervasive evidence that drugs are often consumed for religious purposes. 
    Sacred Drugs touches on the presence of drugs in a number of religious traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam. It also delves into the religious textures, sensibilities, and histories of psychoactive agents, sometimes intersecting with these traditions, sometimes with Indigenous cultures around the world, and sometimes not directly related to any particular religion, but instead related to more basic existential religious concerns: a mortal body that suffers, ages, and dies, but also yearns for transcendence, healing, and ecstasy; or the desire to uncover and live true to one's identity, as well as to find energizing communities that bind individuals together; or how to counter chaos, meaninglessness, and disorder. This controversial book will be the go-to volume for readers interested in the complex relationship between religious life and psychoactive substances.
