For most of its existence, German-speaking Europe has been splintered into innumerable states—some substantial and some consisting of just a few Alpine meadows. Its military experience has also been extraordinarily varied: threatened and threatening; a mere buffer-zone, and a global threat. Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book. It encompasses five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea.

Can scientific explanation ever make reference to God or the supernatural? The present consensus is no; indeed, a naturalistic stance is usually taken to be a distinguishing feature of modern science. Science Without God?: Rethinking the History of Scientific Naturalism shows that the history of Western science presents us with a more nuanced picture.

The Holy Roman Empire lasted 1,000 years, far longer than ancient Rome. Yet this formidable dominion never inspired the awe of its predecessor. Voltaire quipped that it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. Yet as Peter H. Wilson shows, the Holy Roman Empire tells a millennial story of Europe better than the histories of individual nation-states.

Space entrepreneur turned innovation pioneer Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler document how progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, digital manufacturing synthetic biology, and other exponentially growing technologies will enable us to make greater gains in the next two decades than we have in the previous 200 years.

The Thirty Years' War (1618-48) was Europe's most destructive conflict prior to the two world wars. Two of European history's greatest generals faced each other at Lutzen in November 1632, midway through this terrible war. This book is the first to combine analysis of the battle itself with an assessment of its cultural, political, and military legacy, and the first to incorporate recent archaeological research within a reappraisal of the events and their significance.

Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today. While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income - and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience.

The Corporate Culture Survival Guide is the essential primer and practical guide every organization needs. Corporate culture pioneer Edgar H. Schein breaks the concept of "culture" down into real terms, delving into the behaviors, values, and shared assumptions that define it, and explains why culture is the central factor in an organization's success - or failure. This new third edition is designed specifically for practitioners needing to apply these practices in real-world settings.

This audiobook reveals the three most important capabilities leaders must demonstrate today: the ability to set strategy, empathize with others, and take risks - all at the same time. In Head, Heart, and Guts, leadership experts David Dotlich, Peter Cairo, and Stephen Rhinesmith argue that to be successful in a complex, matrixed, fast-moving world, "whole" leaders must set strategy, develop trusting relationships with others, and consistently do the right thing based on personal values.

Toronto is not only Canada’s economic capital, but it also has one of the most diverse populations and has been classified as one of the world’s most livable cities. But Toronto’s past and present are full of weird facts and tidbits from the truly trivial to the seriously strange.

Howard Hughes was one of the most amazing, intriguing, and controversial figures of the 20th century. He was the billionaire head of a giant corporation, a genius inventor, an ace pilot, a matinee-idol-handsome playboy, a major movie-maker who bedded a long list of Hollywood glamour queens, a sexual sultan with a harem of teenage consorts, a political influencer with intimate ties to Watergate, a Las Vegas kingpin, and, ultimately, a bizarre recluse.

As I retire as Fleet Admiral of the United Planets, I consider it my duty to reveal the internal struggles that helped shape my character while I was developing into a naval officer. From my arrival at the Mars Space Academy as a naïve lad of 15, I persevered through two grueling training years until my deployment to active duty aboard the battlecruiser, Repulse.

With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. His books offered a searing indictment of white theology and society and introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time. Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America.

40 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt: Menschen aus der Milchstraße - die sogenannten Vironauten - sind in den Galaxien der Superintelligenz ESTARTU unterwegs. Dort manipulieren und beherrschen die Ewigen Krieger alle anderen Intelligenzen. Unter den Raumfahrern sind Reginald Bull, der älteste Freund Perry Rhodans, sowie Ronald Tekener und Rhodans Sohn Roi Danton. Sie lehnen sich gegen das Regime auf - und werden deshalb gezwungen, am "Spiel des Lebens" teilzunehmen.

Seit der Erkenntnis, dass die Superintelligenz ESTARTU ihre Heimat verlassen hat, sind 15 Jahre vergangen. Nach wie vor unterdrücken die Ewigen Krieger mit ihrer Philosophie des Permanenten Konflikts die Völker der zwölf Galaxien. Doch es regt sich Widerstand gegen dieses Regime. Unter Führung von Perry Rhodan und Atlan bieten die Gänger des Netzes im Namen des Friedens und der Freiheit den Kriegern die Stirn. Zugleich werden Reginald Bull und die Vironauten aktiv. Im Jahr 445 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung spitzen sich die Ereignisse zu.

Sie sind 40 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt und locken mit ihren vielfältigen Wundern: die zwölf Galaxien der Superintelligenz ESTARTU. Dorthin sind zahlreiche Menschen von der Erde - die Vironauten - mit ihren Raumschiffen aufgebrochen. Doch bereits bei den ersten der angeblichen Wunder stoßen sie auf tödliche Gefahren. Die Ewigen Krieger, über die man noch nicht so viel weiß, haben in den zwölf Galaxien ihren Kult errichtet und predigen ständige Konflikte. Was sie damit bezwecken, findet anfangs keiner der Vironauten heraus.

Die Tiefe ist ein gigantisches Gebilde, das am "Rand des Universums" existiert und von dem die Menschen erst seit Kurzem wissen. Von dort ist vor Jahrmillionen der Frostrubin verschwunden, der offenbar einen Teil der Naturgesetze lenkt. Dessen Rückkehr sollen der Arkonide Atlan und der Terraner Jen Salik vorbereiten. Scheitern sie, sind die Existenz der Menschheit und die gesamte Milchstraße aufs Äußerste bedroht. Unter anderem müssen die beiden Männer das Grauleben bezwingen, einen mächtigen Gegner, der sich unaufhaltsam in der Tiefe ausbreitet und bislang nie besiegt worden ist.

Wagemutige Menschen und andere Galaktiker reisten mit ihren Virenschiffen in die zwölf Galaxien der Superintelligenz ESTARTU. Sie hofften auf die kosmischen Wunder, die man ihnen versprochen hatte – doch sie fanden nur das gnadenlose Regime der Ewigen Krieger. Die versprengten Galaktiker kämpfen um ihr Überleben, gut 40 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt. Ihre Chancen stehen schlecht – zu übermächtig sind die Gegner. Zudem strecken die Ewigen Krieger ihre Hand nach der Milchstraße aus. Doch die Menschen geben nicht auf.
