The concept of quality is familiar. People make judgments about it every day. Yet articulating a clear definition of quality is challenging. The best companies often appear to be characterized by an ineffable something, much like that of people who seem graced by a lucky gene. For reasons that are not always evident, some do the right things with better results than average. They may not appear to be savvier acquirers, more adept marketers, or bolder pioneers, yet they integrate new businesses better, launch products more successfully, and open new markets with fewer mishaps.

The story of Lady Chatterley and her love for her husband's gamekeeper outraged the sensibilities of Edwardian England. Lawrence had already been dismissed as a purveyor of the obscene for the attitudes to sex that he had shown in The Rainbow, which had been fiercely suppressed on its publication in 1915. Chatterley, written in several versions around 1928 in Italy in the final part of Lawrence's life, was a deliberate choice on the author's part to address sex head on.

Few books in history have been as poorly understood as the Qur'an. In this audiobook, the distinguished historian of religion Bruce Lawrence shows precisely how the Qur'an is Islam. He describes the origins of the faith and assesses its influence on today's societies and politics. Above all, he emphasizes that the Qur'an is a sacred book of signs that has no single message. It is a book that demands interpretation and one that can be properly understood only through its history.

Lord Chatterley (Jens Harzer) kehrt gelähmt aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurück. Er erlaubt seiner jungen Frau Constanze (Nora v. Waldstätten) sich einen Liebhaber zu nehmen. Ihre daraufhin beginnende leidenschaftliche Beziehung zu dem stattlichen Wildhüter Oliver Parkin (Bernhard Schütz) geht dem Lord dann allerdings doch entschieden zu weit. Seit dem Erscheinen des erotischen Romans von D. H. Lawrence im Jahre 1928, war dieser vom Hauch des Skandalösen umweht. Da kein Verlag den Stoff herausbringen wollte, lies der Autor sein Buch zunächst in Italien im Selbstverlag herstellen. Erst 1960 erschien die vollständige Ausgabe in Lawrences britischer Heimat.

In this grand poetic vision of the universe, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world that underlies reality - and our place within it. Reality is not what you think or sense - it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive, and its inner workings seem at least as implausible as the idea that something can come from nothing. With his trademark wit and accessible style, Krauss leads us to realms so small that they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence.

Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture.
