"Ein Mann, der uns mit einem radikal anderen Blick auf die Welt zum Nachdenken zwingt", urteilt Bundespräsident Steinmeier über den Denker aus Singapur. Diesen anderen, neuen Blick stellt Parag Khanna in "Move" eindrucksvoll unter Beweis. Er bringt Geschichte, Politik und die natürlichen Lebensbedingungen des Menschen, die sich gerade rasant verändern, zusammen und leitet daraus Voraussagen für die Zukunft ab. Seine Grundthese: Die Menschheit wird sich in den nächsten Jahrzehnten neu auf der Erde verteilen (müssen).

Rae ist ein typisches Großstadtkind. Sie genießt die Anonymität, die Schnelligkeit, die Abwechslung der Stadt. Nirgends kann man sich selbst besser vergessen. Wenn man ihr vor einem Jahr gesagt hätte, dass sie sich, nur mit einem Rucksack bewaffnet, auf eine monatelange Wanderung durch die Wildnis von Kanada aufmachen würde, hätte sie gelacht. Aber genau das tut sie jetzt. Weil sie so nicht weitermachen kann. Weil sie lernen muss, allein zu sein. Weil sie sich endlich von ihrem Schmerz befreien will.

Träumer, die zu wahren Helden werden. Am liebsten würde der schüchterne Ware die Ferien ganz in Ruhe für sich verbringen und von Rittern im Mittelalter träumen.

Doch Ware reißt aus und trifft Jolene, ein toughes Mädchen, mit dem er die verlassene Ruine neben dem Camp in einen Garten verwandelt: ihr geheimer Zufluchtsort. Aber als er ihnen genommen werden soll, fasst Ware einen Entschluss: Er wird sich wie ein Ritter gegen Ungerechtigkeit auflehnen und für ihr Paradies kämpfen.

From near-suicidal RAF attacks in 1940 through to the dawn of the jet age in 1945, Flames in the Sky captures the astonishing drama, intensity, heroism, and incomparable exhilaration of the World War Two air war like no other book. This epic global struggle between Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mustangs, Mosquitos, Messerschmitts, Zeros, Kamikazes, and more is brought vividly to life by a writer who was himself in the thick of the action.

Pierre Clostermann DFC was one of the oustanding Allied aces of the Second World War. A Frenchman who flew with the RAF, he survived over 420 operational sorties, shooting down scores of enemy aircraft while friends and comrades lost their lives in the deadly skies above Europe. The Big Show, his extraordinary account of the war, has been described as the greatest pilot's memoir of WWII.

The environment is collapsing at a rapid rate, and in increasingly unpredictable ways. Everyone knows that this is happening, and yet the only politics that is emerging to tackle it are coming from the increasingly nativist far-right. How should the left respond? In Planet on Fire, two rising stars of the British left lay down a set of proposals for a fundamental re-shaping of the global economy and offer a road map for tackling climate breakdown.

For 300 years the ghetto defined Jewish culture in the late medieval and early modern period in Western Europe. In the 19th century it was a free-floating concept that traveled to Eastern Europe and the United States. Eastern European "ghettos", which enabled genocide, were crudely rehabilitated by the Nazis during World War Two as if they were part of a benign medieval tradition. Here, Bryan Cheyette unpicks the extraordinarily complex layers of contrasting meanings that have accrued over 500 years to ghettos, considering their different settings across the globe.

Despite the immense popularity of yoga today, there is surprisingly little knowledge of its roots among practitioners. This book brings together the core teachings of yoga in the words of their authors, rather than in the secondary versions of modern interpreters. Including key passages from the Upanishads, the Buddhist and Jaina traditions, the yoga sections of the Indian Tantras, and many texts that are being critically translated for the first time, Roots of Yoga provides a comprehensive and immediate insight into the essential texts of the Indian traditions of yoga.

A provocative account showing that "China" - and its 5,000 years of unified history - is a national myth, created only a century ago with a political agenda that persists to this day. China's current leadership lays claim to a 5,000-year-old civilization, but "China" as a unified country and people, Bill Hayton argues, was created far more recently by a small group of intellectuals.

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.

Since its publication in 2003, the first edition of Black Garden has become the definitive study of how Armenia and Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet republics, were pulled into a conflict that helped bring them to independence, spell the end the Soviet Union, and plunge a region of great strategic importance into a decade of turmoil. This important volume is both a careful reconstruction of the history of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict since 1988 and on-the-spot reporting of the convoluted aftermath.

Erhard Steiniger joined his Wehrmacht unit on October 12, 1940, as a radio operator, a role which required his constant presence with troops at the Front, right in the midst of combat. On June 22, 1941, he accompanied his division to Lithuania where he experienced the catastrophic first day of Operation Barbarossa. He later witnessed intense clashes during the conquest of the Baltic islands and the battles leading up to Leningrad on the Volkhov and Lake Ladoga.
