"Wir schweigen nicht, wir sind Euer böses Gewissen, die Weiße Rose lässt Euch keine Ruhe!", hieß es auf einem Flugblatt der kleinen studentischen Widerstandsgruppe in München, zu dessen innerem Kreis neben Alexander Schmorell und Hans Scholl dessen jüngere Schwester Sophie, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf sowie der Universitätsprofessor Kurt Huber gehörten. Selbst vor Roland Freisler sprach die 21-Jährige im Gerichtssaal unbeirrt aus, was sie dachte: "Was wir schrieben und sagten, das denken Sie alle ja auch, nur haben Sie nicht den Mut, es auszusprechen."

Before the Romans could become masters of the Mediterranean, they had to first conquer the people of their own peninsula. This book explores the origins of Roman imperialism and the creation of Rome's early Italian empire, bringing new light and interpretations to this important but problematic period in Roman history. It explains how and why the Romans were able to expand their influence within Italy, often through the use of armed conflict, laying the foundations for their great imperial project.

An improbable world beckons. We think we know Madagascar, but it's too big, too eccentric and too impenetrable to be truly understood. If it was stretched out across Europe, the islands would reach from London to Algiers, and yet its road network is barely bigger than tiny Jamaica's. There is no evidence of any human life until about 10,000 years ago, and, when eventually people settled, it was migrants from Borneo - 3,700 miles away - who came out on top.

Historian William Sheehan and astronomer and planetary scientist Jim Bell combine their talents to tell a unique story of what we've learned by studying Mars through evolving technologies. What the eye sees as a mysterious red dot wandering through the sky becomes a blurry mirage of apparent seas, continents, and canals as viewed through Earth-based telescopes.

To know Donald J. Trump - to understand what makes the 45th president of the US tick - it is best to start in his natural habitat: Palm Beach, Florida. It is here he learned the techniques that took him all the way to the White House. Painstakingly, over decades, he has created a world in this exclusive tropical enclave and favorite haunt of billionaires where he is not just president but a king. The vehicle for his triumph is Mar-a-Lago, one of the greatest mansions ever built in the US.

Remember frolicking outside during the long, jubilant days of summer? This vibrant collection invites listeners to breathe deeply and return to that “carefree” season. From riding bikes with friends through the neighborhood, to hopping the ferry to Boblo Island, catching catfish along the river, dancing on warm nights to Afrobeats and jazz music, and cooling off in the Swimmobile, those sun-drenched memories were often clouded by racism for the Detroiters in this evocative anthology.

Eddie Jaku se consideraba alemán antes que judío. Siempre sintió un gran orgullo por su país, hasta que en 1938 fue arrestado por los nazis y trasladado a uno de sus campos de concentración. Aunque su formación como ingeniero le concedió ciertos privilegios, primero en Buchenwald y después en Auschwitz, Eddie sufrió horrores indecibles. Perdió a su familia, a sus amigos, a su país. Durante todos esos años, lo que le mantuvo con vida fue su amigo Kurt y la bondad de la gente.

El descubrimiento de los manuscritos del Mar Muerto en 1947 es considerado el acontecimiento arqueológico más importante del siglo XX. Los documentos contienen los textos más antiguos de la Biblia hebrea y una amplia colección de escritos que describen el contexto social, político y religioso que se vivía en Jerusalén durante los orígenes del cristianismo. Desde el día en el que unos jóvenes beduinos recuperaron una cabra que se había perdido en una cueva del desierto la leyenda ha acompañado la historia de este descubrimiento.

El 12 de julio de 1776, el capitán James Cook, ya considerado el mayor explorador de la historia británica, emprendió su tercer viaje a bordo del HMS Resolution. Dos años y medio después, en una playa de Hawái, Cook fue asesinado a golpes y apuñalado en un conflicto con la población indígena.

¿Sabías que durante los siglos del XVI al XIX España dominó los mares de forma imbatible? ¿Alguien te había contado que la flota española de galeones y galeras fueron la verdadera fuerza que contuvo los ataques expansionistas de otomanos, franceses e ingleses? ¿Te suenan los nombres de Baskerville, Drake, Oliver van Noort o Hawkins…? ¿Conoces a nuestros héroes capitanes Pantoja y Palomino, Carlos Retamosa o Luis de Córdova… entre muchos? ¿Sabías que la “Invencible” fue realmente invencible o te habías creído la mentira inglesa?

Luca Misculin fa un vero e proprio carotaggio storico, raccontando la stratificazione di popoli, uomini e miti che si sono succeduti nel corso dei secoli. E allo stesso tempo racconta il Mediterraneo di oggi, le sue isole e i suoi porti, i suoi uccelli migratori e i cavi sottomarini che lo attraversano, i suoi luoghi piú inaccessibili, come basi militari abbandonate o piattaforme petrolifere.

Seventy years ago, more than 6000 Allied ships carried more than a million soldiers across the English Channel to a 50-mile-wide strip of the Normandy coast in German-occupied France. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history. The code names given to the beaches where the ships landed the soldiers have become immortal: Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and especially Omaha, the scene of almost unimaginable human tragedy.

Full of exclusive new stories, and astonishing detail only an astronaut would know, the book conveys what space exploration is really like: the wondrous view of Earth, the surreal weightlessness, the extraordinary danger, the surprising humdrum, the unexpected humour, the newfound perspective, the years of training, the psychological pressures, the gruelling physical toll, the thrill of launch and the trepidation of re-entry. The book also examines the surprising, shocking and often poignant stories of astronauts back on Earth, whose lives are forever changed as they readjust to terra firma.

É essa capital fervilhante o cenário e a protagonista do novo livro de Ruy Castro.
