Beschreibung

In "History of Friedrich II of Prussia," Thomas Carlyle presents a monumental work that intricately chronicles the life and reign of Frederick II, portraying him not only as a sovereign but also as a complex individual entwined in the cultural and political fabric of 18th-century Europe. Written in a distinctive, elevating prose style that blends historical narrative with philosophical reflections, Carlyle's extensive 21-volume series delves into themes of power, art, and the interplay of destiny and free will. This ambitious project reflects Carlyle's deep engagement with German Romanticism and responds to the Enlightenment ideals that shaped his historical perspective, making it a rich tapestry of political and personal histories showcasing the fervor and challenges of the Prussian state during a tumultuous era. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher and historian, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time, particularly the industrial revolution and the complexities of modernity. His reverence for strong leadership and deep admiration for Frederick II are evident throughout the series. Carlyle's own struggles with faith, identity, and the power of the written word inform his portrayal of Frederick, positioning the King as a symbol of idealistic yet pragmatic governance amidst chaos. This exhaustive biography not only offers readers a fascinating historical account but also prompts them to ponder the greater philosophical questions surrounding authority, legacy, and the human condition. Scholars, history enthusiasts, and general readers alike will find Carlyle's narrative both enlightening and compelling, making this work an essential read for anyone drawn to the confluence of history and literature.

    A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
     
     
     
    Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
     
     
     
    In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

    The Poverty Paradox -...

    The paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the twenty-first century—why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations?  Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle. 
     
     
     
    The approach is what he has defined over the years as structural vulnerability. Central to this new way of thinking is the distinction between those who lose out at the economic game versus why the game produces losers in the first place. Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. 
     
     
     
    Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. The Poverty Paradox represents a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead.

    The Congress of Vienna, held between 1814 and 1815, came at a pivotal moment in European history. The continent had just endured the upheaval caused by the Napoleonic Wars, which had left Europe in chaos and instability. Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power and subsequent expansionist ambitions had dramatically altered the political landscape, reshaping borders and redrawing alliances. By 1814, with Napoleon's defeat and exile, Europe was left to deal with the aftermath of a decade of war and turmoil. The challenge for the leaders of the major powers was to rebuild a stable Europe while ensuring that the events which had led to war would not be repeated. 
    The immediate concern was to restore order and prevent any single nation from becoming too powerful. Napoleon’s domination of Europe, followed by his eventual fall, had created an imbalance of power that threatened the security of the continent. The leaders of the great powers—Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia—realized that to avoid future conflict, they needed to create a system that would maintain peace and stability through diplomacy and careful balancing of power. This would be achieved not by restoring the status quo exactly as it had been before the Napoleonic Wars, but by reshaping Europe in a way that would prevent any one nation from becoming overwhelmingly dominant. 
    The Congress of Vienna aimed to establish a new framework based on the principles of legitimacy and a balance of power. Legitimacy referred to the restoration of rightful monarchs who had been overthrown by Napoleon, while the balance of power involved redistributing territory and influence in a way that would prevent any single country from threatening the security of the others. It was a delicate process, as the major powers had competing interests and varying visions of what a stable Europe would look like. Nonetheless, the common goal was to create a system that could provide long-term peace.

    Too often, all oppressed people in America are lumped together under the moniker people of color, as if each group's experience under the yoke of systemic racism has the same economic and social repercussions. But the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) hold a unique claim to economic and reparative justice: for ADOS, after all, is the only group whose ancestors were forcibly brought to America, enslaved, built much of the wealth of the country, yet continue to be specifically excluded from the same social, political, and economic rights of other Americans. To that end, Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby lays out the first theology of the ADOS movement, turning the traditional lens of Black liberation theology from Moses leading escaped Hebrew slaves in Exodus to other biblical leaders like Solomon, Daniel, and Nehemiah. 
     
     
     
    In the stories of Nehemiah and other biblical leaders, Cosby finds inspiration on how to rebuild Black America including the necessity of government reparations for ADOS. Cosby calls all Americans to move from a place of relative nonengagement and detachment to a place of active support of ADOS's efforts for justice and healing.
