Byzanz (380622417X)



Byzanz: Das andere Mittelalter
Während das Weströmische Reich im 5. Jahrhundert n. Chr. von wandernden Völkern überrannt wurde, stand das oströmische Imperium noch am Anfang seiner Blüte: Unter Kaiser Justinian stieg das Byzantinische Reich zu einer wahren Weltmacht auf. Zu seinen Glanzzeiten beherrschte es sogar weite Teile des Mittel- und Schwarzmeerraums. Doch Byzanz musste sich in seiner mehr als 1000-jährigen Geschichte auch einiger mächtiger Gegner erwehren, bis es 1453 schon längst reduziert auf das Stadtgebiet Konstantinopels letztlich von den Osmanen eingenommen wurde.
Der Byzanz-Experte Andreas Külzer beleuchtet kompetent und unterhaltsam die wechselvolle Geschichte des Reichs. Sein Blick auf Gesellschaft und Alltag, Verwaltung und Kirche, Kunst und Architektur hilft dem Leser, das Klischee eines dekadenten Reichs zu hinterfragen und ein faszinierendes Phänomen der Geschichte näher kennenzulernen.

The Creation of Saudi Arabia : Ibn Saud and British Imperial Policy, 1914-1927 (9780415453721)

Bild
Overturning previous interpretations that see the territorial expansion of the Saudi state between 1915 and 1926 as the result of an aggressive Wahhabi ideology carried out by a politically ambitious Ibn Saud, this book explores the links between Saudi territorial expansion and British Imperial policy. Depicting this expansion as the outcome of the implementation of Britain's imperial policy to achieve specific regional military and political objectives in the Middle East, the author examines the Anglo-Saudi legal arrangement which fully integrated Saudi foreign policy into the framework of Britain's imperial policy system in order to serve specific British military and political objectives in the Middle East concerning primarily, but not exclusively, the occupation of Palestine. The personality of Ibn Saud and his religious ideology of Wahhabism served as most effective policy instruments.The author shows how Ibn saud's motivation was primarily defensive, preservationist a

Ravenous : Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet Connection (9781324092018)

Bild
The Nobel laureate Otto Warburg was widely regarded as one of the most important biochemists of the twentieth century. A Jewish homosexual living openly with his partner, he was also among the most despised figures in the Third Reich. Yet top Nazi officials-perhaps even Hitler himself-dreaded cancer and protected Warburg in the hope he could cure it. Using new archival sources and interviews with current cancer authorities, Sam Apple depicts a relentless figure, hungry for fame, who pursued his research even as the world around him disintegrated. Remarkably, Warburg's theory about the metabolic origins of cancer has been revived in our own time, as scientists investigate the dangers of sugar and the link between obesity and cancer. Ravenous is a book for readers of Alan Turing and The Emperor of All Maladies: a tale of scientific discovery, personal peril and the race to end a disastrous disease. Product details
