Summary

In "The English Constitution," Walter Bagehot delivers a meticulous analysis of the British political system through an innovative lens, focusing on its unique unwritten elements. Bagehot deftly blends literary clarity with philosophical depth, presenting a systematic exploration of parliamentary democracy, the monarchy, and the role of public opinion. His style showcases a persuasive narrative that employs vivid illustrations and ideological critiques, encapsulating the complexities of 19th-century governance and reflecting the era's political anxieties and aspirations. Walter Bagehot, a renowned Victorian-era journalist, economist, and constitutional theorist, draws upon his extensive experience as an editor of The Economist and his intellectual background to craft this seminal work. His keen insights into the interplay between political institutions and societal values are shaped by his belief in the necessity of balance between tradition and reform. Bagehot's rigorous scholarship stems from his commitment to making the intricacies of constitutional law accessible to a diverse audience, reinforcing his dual role as both an observer and commentator. "The English Constitution" is essential reading for anyone seeking to comprehend the foundations of modern democracy and the importance of political structures in shaping governance. Bagehot not only elucidates the British Constitution but also prompts readers to reflect on the interplay between power, culture, and society, making this work relevant for scholars, students, and general readers alike.

    This book provides a detailed linguistic analysis of the communication between highly proficient bilingual couples, each consisting of a native speaker of English and of Swiss German. Combining the accounts of ten couples on their language use with an analysis of their actual linguistic behaviour, several areas of the partners' speech and interaction were closely examined. These include their language choice and language mixing, attitudes, expression of emotions, swearing, as well as their humour and laughter. In addition, the influence of the bilinguals' mother tongue and gender on their language use was explored. Thus, the study provides valuable insights into the language practices of established bilingual couples, while also contributing to the fields of fluent late bilingualism and gender research.

    In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army. A brutal battle ensued, with an estimated 30,000 German and 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, along with thousands of civilians. 
 
 
 
This collection of first-hand accounts tells the story of the battle and its aftermath from the German perspective. It is an eclectic mix, containing the recollections of ordinary soldiers, SS-men and men of the Panzer Divisions, as well as civilians caught up in the battle as they attempted to flee ahead of the advancing armies. It brings to life the grim realities of this one-sided engagement, revealing the brutal vengeance of the Soviets and the desperation to escape the slaughter. 
 
 
 
Translated into English for the first time, this is an important insight into this devastating and little-known aspect of World War II history.

    Corpse Care relates the history of death care in the US to craft robust, constructive, practical ethics for tending the dead. It specifically relates corpse care to economic, environmental, and pastoral concerns. 
 
 
 
Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective, cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry. Christianity has stopped its reflection about the body once that body no longer bears life. Corpse Care stakes a claim that the fact of embodiment, this incarnational truth, this process of our bodily becoming, is a practical, ethical, and theological necessity.

    Did you know that the Incas worshiped the mummies of their emperors? 
For the Incas, death didn’t exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed. 
This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the Inca culture and to the history of the Inca Empire, which stretched from Ecuador and Colombia in the north to Chile in the south. 
Everyone has seen pictures of one of the Incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of Machu Picchu. But Inca history has always been told by the Spanish colonizers who conquered them since the Inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the Inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda. 
In this audiobook, you will discover how the Inca created an expansive empire in just a century and why that civilization crumbled so fast once the Spanish arrived. 
You’ll also discover the following:How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;And so much more!
