 I over 200 år har monumenter fra det gamle Egypt tiltrukket seg nysgjerrige og forskere fra hele verden. Alt fra små barnemumier til gigantiske pyramider er blitt nøye undersøkt for at vi skal få kunnskap om en av verdens eldste sivilisasjoner, først med graveskjeer, pensler og arkeologisk grundighet, siden med høyt avanserte skanninger og DNA-analyser. Til tross for iherdige undersøkelser er det så langt ingen som har kunnet gi et endelig svar på alle gåtene som riket langs Nilen etterlot seg da det gikk under for bortimot 2000 år siden. Derfor graver forskerne fremdeles etter svar på de store spørsmålene: Hvordan oppsto det egyptiske riket? Hvem oppførte pyramidene? Ble Kleopatra myrdet? I denne boken presenterer forskere og arkeologer de siste teoriene om Egypts storhetstid. Svarene er blant annet å finne i klimaforandringer, heftig monsunregn og en komplisert religion der gudene hadde innflytelse på alt.I bokserien VITENSKAPENS NYE VERDEN deler forskerne sine beste spådommer for de neste store vitenskapelige gjennombruddene fram mot år 2050 - gjennombrudd som blant annet omfatter et botemiddel mot kreft, utvikling av roboter som ikke kan skjelnes fra mennesker, og oppdagelse av de første sikre tegnene til liv i verdensrommet.

 Den 9. august 1945 slapp den amerikanske flygeren Charles W. Sweeney en atombombe over den japanske byen Nagasaki. 43 sekunder senere eksploderte den dødelige lasten i luften over havnebyen og forvandlet et blomstrende bysentrum til et smeltet ruinlandskap. Rundt 70 000 mennesker mistet livet. Atombombene over de to japanske byene Hiroshima og Nagasaki var kulminasjonen på seks år med grusomheter. Siden Nazi-Tysklands tropper hadde invadert Polen i 1939 og dermed kastet verden ut i enda en storkrig, hadde kampene utviklet seg til de mest grufulle som verden hadde sett til da. Men brutaliteten stoppet ikke på slagmarken. Hundretusenvis av sivile mistet livet i tilfeldige teppebombinger eller ble ofre for bitre soldaters hevn, mens et helt folk ble forsøkt utslettet i Nazi-Tysklands dødsleirer. "En verden i flammer" er ikke skånsom lesing. Den er som krigen selv både forferdelig og fascinerende.All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

 Guden for kaos og uorden, Seth, rev i sjalusi liket av broren Osiris i 14 biter og spredte dem over hele Egypt. Gudinnen Isis fant alle bitene, balsamerte liket og rullet det inn i lintøy. Dermed skapte hun ifølge egypternes mytologi verdens første mumie. Skikken med å balsamere de døde slik at kroppen ble bevart for ettertiden, var utbredt i oldtidens Egypt, og de mange mumiene av både mennesker og dyr har fascinert opp gjennom historien. I perioder har pulveriserte mumier til og med vært brukt som medisin mot alle slags sykdommer. De fattige egypternes mumier lå begravd i ørkensanden. Men faraoenes mumier lå i prektige sarkofager dypt inne i gigantiske pyramider. Selv om oldtidens egyptere etterlot seg et utall tekster skrevet med hieroglyfer, er det fremdeles en gåte akkurat hvordan de udødelige monumentene ble bygd. Sikkert er det likevel at de ble skapt av en sivilisasjon som var sterk nok til å blomstre i over 3000 år.All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

 I året 1046 f.Kr. krysset en hær på 45 000 soldater og 300 stridsvogner Huang He. I spissen stod kronprins Wu av Zhou, og snart hadde han beseiret naboen, Shang-dynastiet. De neste ca. 800 årene blomstret Zhou-dynastiet og utviklet det systemet som fortsatte under den senere keiseren. Keiserriket Kina ble samlet i 221 f.Kr. av Qin-kongen Ying Zheng, som erklærte at han var utsett av gudene til å herske som keiser i riket som var sivilisasjonens sentrum. Undersåttene skulle adlyde og tjene Himmelens sønn. De nærmeste naborikene ble vasallstater som avla troskapsed og betalte skatt til Kinas hersker. Ute på den andre siden av vasallstatene huserte barbarene. Bortsett fra hester var det ikke noe godt å hente der, og grensen ble solid bevoktet. Med denne sterke selvbevisstheten trivdes Kina som et nesten helt lukket rike i flere tusen år, helt til møtet med den vestlige verdens handelsmenn og våpen veltet keiseren på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet.All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

A Village In The Third Reich - How Ordinary Lives Were Transformed By The Rise Of Fascism

de Angelika Patel e Julia Boyd

24,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 New from the author of Travellers in the Third Reich - the Sunday Times Top Three bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Month: a stunningly evocative portrait of Hitler’s Germany through the people of a single village. Oberstdorf is a beautiful village high up in the Bavarian Alps, a place where for hundreds of years ordinary people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even here, in the farthest corner of Germany, National Socialism sought to control not only people’s lives but also their minds. Drawing on archive material, letters, interviews and memoirs, A Village in the Third Reich is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, of the descent into totalitarianism and of the tragedies that befell all of those touched by Nazism. In its pages we meet the Jews who survived - and those who didn’t; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was thought ‘not worth living’. It is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams, despair and destruction - but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs. These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history.

 On 4 January 2011, millionaire businessman and governor of Punjab Salmaan Taseer was shot to death. He had been leading a campaign to amend Pakistan's blasphemy laws, after an illiterate Christian woman was sentenced to death for blasphemy. Within hours, a Facebook page for the assassin Mumtaz Qadri had over 2000 members. Transferred to jail, Qadri was garlanded with roses by lawyers offering to take his case for free. President Asif Ali Zardari, a friend of Taseer's, didn't go to the funeral for fear of inflaming public opinion. Mosque leaders refused to say funeral prayers for Taseer, and the Interior Minister gave a press conference announcing that he too would kill a blasphemer "with his own hands". Presenter Owen Bennett-Jones has interviewed Taseer's family and friends and the family of the assassin, and secured access to court documents including the killer's confession.

Poverty, By America

de Matthew Desmond; Narrado por: Dion Graham

11,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Brought to you by Penguin. The United States is the richest country on earth, yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments and extensive relief programs. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars?In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines the nature of American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it. Spanning racism, social isolation, mass incarceration, the housing crisis, domestic violence, crack and opioid epidemics, welfare cuts and more, Desmond argues that poverty does not result from a lack of resources or good policy ideas. We already know how to eliminate it. The hard part is getting more of us to care.To do so, we need a new story. As things stand, liberals explain poverty through insurmountable structural issues, whereas conservatives highlight personal failings and poor life choices. Both analyses abdicate responsibility, and ignore the reality that the advantages of the rich only come at the expense of the poor. It is time better-paid citizens put themselves back in the narrative, recognizing that the depth and expanse of poverty in any nation reflects our failure to look out for one another. Poverty must ultimately be met by community: all this suffering and want is our doing, and we can undo it.(c) Matthew Desmond 2023 (P) Penguin Audio 2023

New Jim Crow - Mass Incarceration In The Age Of Colourblindness

de Michelle Alexander

11,04€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The New Jim Crow written by Michelle Alexander, read by Karen Chilton. Once in a great while a book comes along that radically changes our understanding of a crucial political issue and helps to fuel a social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Lawyer and activist Michelle Alexander offers a stunning account of the rebirth of a caste-like system in the United States, one that has resulted in millions of African Americans locked behind bars and then relegated to a permanent second-class status, denied the very rights supposedly won in the Civil Rights movement. Challenging the notion that the election of Barack Obama signalled a new era of colourblindness in the United States, The New Jim Crow reveals how racial discrimination was not ended but merely redesigned. By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of colour, the American criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, relegating millions to a permanent second-class status even as it formally adheres to the principle of colourblindness. A searing call to action for everyone concerned with social justice, The New Jim Crow is one of the most important books about race in the 21st century.
