Beschreibung

In "The History of the Crusades," Joseph François Michaud presents a comprehensive and authoritative chronicle spanning the epic crusading movements of the Middle Ages. The three-volume series intricately explores the complex interplay of religious fervor, political intrigue, and cultural exchanges that characterized the Crusades. Michaud's engaging narrative style combines meticulous historical detail with vivid storytelling, making his work accessible to both scholars and general readers alike. The books are anchored in the early 19th-century European context and reflect the Romantic fascination with medieval history, resonating with ideas of chivalry and heroism while critically examining the ramifications of these tumultuous expeditions. Michaud, a prominent French historian and journalist, was driven by a profound interest in the medieval period and the socio-political dynamics of his time. His extensive travels and scholarly research provided him with a wealth of resources, fueling his ambition to create a definitive account of the Crusades. Michaud's background in literary and historical studies is evident in his nuanced approach, weaving thematic elements of faith, conflict, and cultural legacy throughout the narrative. This monumental work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the Crusades' complexity and impact on European and Middle Eastern history. Michaud's engaging prose invites readers into a world where faith, ambition, and tragedy converge, making it a foundational text for historians, students, and anyone intrigued by this pivotal era of history.

    The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. 
     
     
     
    Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance, Mayer describes what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. He sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that, and discusses how financial institutions should be at the heart of this, and how the public sector can work with the private on a common purpose of solving problems and creating shared prosperity. Capitalism and Crises provides an inspiring and motivational roadmap of how we as practitioners, policymakers, consumers, employees, communities, students, and citizens of the world can together tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century—to flourish and survive.

    The Greek War of Independence, which began in 1821, was the culmination of centuries of subjugation under the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks had ruled over Greece since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, imposing their control over the Greek-speaking territories of the Eastern Mediterranean. While the Greeks endured under Ottoman rule for nearly four centuries, various socio-political, religious, and economic factors fostered the desire for independence. These factors would eventually fuel a revolution that would reshape Greece’s future and contribute to the broader wave of nationalistic movements across Europe in the 19th century. 
    The Ottoman Empire's control over Greece was characterized by a rigid hierarchical structure. While Greeks were allowed to practice their religion and maintain certain aspects of their culture, they were treated as second-class citizens, subject to high taxes and military conscription. This created deep resentment and a longing for autonomy. However, resistance to Ottoman rule was sporadic and often crushed by the overwhelming power of the Empire. The Greeks, scattered across various islands and mainland regions, lacked the unity needed to mount an effective challenge to Ottoman authority. 
    One of the key elements that ignited the desire for Greek independence was the rise of nationalist and revolutionary ideas in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The French Revolution of 1789 had sparked waves of liberalism and nationalism across the continent, and these ideas reached Greece through intellectuals, students, and traders. The Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity resonated with many Greeks, who saw them as a path toward the freedom they had been denied for centuries.

    Who Was Enoch and Did He Speak the Language of Extraterrestrials?   The bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Däniken, examines the great traditions of mankind—thousands of years old—for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The Gods were here. But when will they return? Or have they ever really left?   The culmination of long-term research, Enoch and the Return of the Gods argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life-forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic historical events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be reinterpreted. The words of the Bible are at the center of his text-critical interpretations that pick apart the sense and nonsense of religious views. He also draws on ancient Jewish sagas and legends, reports from early historians, and Indian, Babylonian, and Persian traditions.   As always, von Däniken finds support for a number of interesting questions:  Did Adam and Eve witness a UFO?  What will Judgment Day truly be?  Why did extraterrestrials tinker with humanity’s DNA?    The Gods were here, and it is clear their influence remains to this day.   This book was first published in 1998 under the title The Return of the Gods. This new edition features a new introduction by the author.
