  This book is intended for readers who are looking for an introduction to the confusing diversity of German literature. The chronological order chosen is best suited for this purpose because, in contrast to topic- or genre-oriented ordering procedures, it shows a genesis and traces the genealogy of German literature. The fact that Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre would most likely have looked completely different without Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's Simplicissimus can be shown most easily and effectively in the context of a chronologically presented journey through time. And this is only one of many examples, especially in the field of poetry quite a few more could be found.
  
  "He who knows how to read holds the key to great deeds, to undreamed-of possibilities," Aldous Huxley once said. This book is intended to open up some of these possibilities for you.

  “There are two certain things in this life; taxes and death.” - Benjamin Franklin 
  While this may sound like any other famous quote, it is very true and practical. However, as certain as taxes may be, we will not focus on that in this book. Instead, we'll explore this dark and distasteful topic that everyone prefers to avoid: Death represented as the Grim Reaper! 
  According to scientists, death occurs in all living organisms at some point and is the complete end of life mechanism. Unfortunately, this definition isn’t very descriptive. It doesn’t describe how it feels to die. 
  What will we go through? 
  What can we expect to see? 
  What are our options? 
  Where are we going after death? 
  To answer such questions, artists in the 14th century came up with the concept of the grim reaper to try and understand death better by giving it a face. 
  This book will explore everything you need to know about the grim reaper, who people believe he is, and the myths surrounding his existence.

  Debates over paper money and banking are older than the United States of America itself. 18th and 19th century Americans were deeply ambivalent about paper money and central banks, and political fights over these issues were among the bitterest in American history. In fact, controversies over the country’s central bank birthed both the first (1792-1824) and second (1828-1852) party systems; frequently, policymakers crafted responses to the crisis at hand, and as a result they implemented policies that were inadequate to the challenges the country faced in the future.  
  Indeed, the early administrations' ambivalence toward central banking and paper money, combined with the ad hoc nature of policymakers’ responses, caused severe problems. These issues came to a head during the Panic of 1907, which provoked a major reassessment of America’s banking system. Progressive Era reformers like President Woodrow Wilson walked a tightrope, balancing fears of centralized wealth with the undeniable need for a rational mechanism to help govern the country’s economy. The system they created represented half a loaf, its many compromises and weaknesses corrected by the response to two other crises: the Great Depression and the Cold War. The Federal Reserve System that has existed since the Accord of 1951 has cooled the passionate conflict over central banking and rendered obsolete many of the monetary questions that so animated Americans in previous centuries.

  We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things."
