  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.

  In diesem Buch wird die Theorie der politischen Führung, die ein noch wenig erforschtes Feld der Politikwissenschaft ist, beleuchtet. Sie ist verwandt mit dem philosophischen Streit um Determinismus versus Aktivismus und hilft den Grundkonflikt des 21. Jahrhunderts zwischen liberaler Demokratie und neuem Autoritarismus zu verstehen. Das Buch befasst sich mit Max Webers Typologie politischer Herrschaft und seinem Konzept der Verantwortungsethik, welche der Schlüssel zur Theorie der Führung sind. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass der unvollendete Wettstreit zwischen Demokratie und neuem Autoritarismus im 21. Jahrhundert die Bedeutung von Führung in alten und neuen Demokratien sowie in den neoautoritären Regimen bestätigt und einen neuen Typus politischer Führungskräfte fordert.

  This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: The Great Fire of London was a massive fire in the ominous year of 1666, which destroyed the homes of more than 80% of the city’s inhabitants, which was around 80,000 people back then. In this guide, we will go over how the fire most likely started, why it took such a toll on the London population, and why it kept growing without them being able to extinguish the flames in time. You will also learn about how the city was built up, how other competing countries saw the fire as a good thing, and how Christopher Wren helped rebuild churches and houses when it was all over.  
  Last but not least, you will discover how something else was even more disturbing at this time: The Great Plague of London, a horrible scourge which is believed to have killed more than 100,000 people, struck with ills from rats and a lack of hygiene, around the same time. Read about or listen to the horrors people in England were confronted with in the beginning of the 17th century. 
  2: From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction about their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Other issues happened with the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani. 
  Let’s explore how the rule of the British raj evolved, how their power became stronger and weaker, and what the impact of the world wars was, the nationalist groups in India, and significant figures like Mahatma Gandhi.

  "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
   
  Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
   
  Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.
