In exploring how the Christian religion became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a small sect of isolated congregations was transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome, Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief. From the crisis that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, which left the religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing revolution in which the Papacy emerged as the head of a vast international corporation.

Nach 9/11 stürzten die USA die Taliban in Kabul. Es war der Auftakt im «Krieg gegen den Terror». Allein in Afghanistan gab Washington dafür in 20 Jahren mehr als 2000 Milliarden Dollar aus.

Michael Lüders zieht eine schonungslose Bilanz des Desasters am Hindukusch und erklärt, warum der Westen dort scheitern musste.

We tend to think about the Middle Ages as a dark and backward time, characterised by violence, ignorance and superstition. We believe that life was unchanging over the period, so if a peasant fell asleep in in the year 1000 and woke up six hundred years later, he would return to a world that was instantly recognisable. We hold that change is facilitated by science and technological innovation, and that it was the inventions of recent centuries, from the steam engine to the Internet, that created the modern world. We couldn't be more wrong.

Higher Level History with Professor Carthel is a companion podcast to The American Yawp, the free, open-access US History textbook used in classrooms across the country.

Whether you're a student working through a survey course or a teacher looking for a resource that brings the material to life, this is history at a higher level.

EngineerGuy Stories is Bill Hammack — the EngineerGuy — telling the stories engineering usually leaves out: the wrong turns, the dead ends, and the way a craft so often runs ahead of the science meant to explain it. Each episode takes a single object or idea and follows it where it wants to go, fifteen minutes at a time, told the way you'd tell it to one person across a table. No interviews, no hurry — just how engineers actually work, and why the real story is almost always stranger than the tidy version.

Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems is a collection of poems by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, first published in 1798 and generally considered to have marked the beginning of the English Romantic movement in literature.

Most of the poems in the 1798 edition were written by Wordsworth, with Coleridge contributing only four poems to the collection, including one of his most famous works, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. (Additionally, ...
