Time heals all wounds… but can it heal a house divided? The last thing Alexandra Lindgren wants is to go back in time again. Especially once she finds out Titus is MIA in Iraq after a deadly explosion. But when the legacies of two visionary sisters: Fatima and Maryam al-Fihri, are threatened, Alex finds herself in Fes, Morocco, circa 859 AD. Once there, Alex discovers two things: first, a secret society is working to destroy the sacred mosques and madrasa founded by these two women, and second, Titus is already in Fes, helping the sisters as well. They must work together, despite his continued belief that she has betrayed him and the Muses. As tensions escalate, Alex and Titus find themselves navigating a dangerous web of deceit, betrayal, and intrigue as they fight to save historical treasures that will influence the world for centuries to come. But facing their own trust issues may prove to be the greatest challenge of all, as they race against time to outwit their enemies and ensure the survival of Fes's rich cultural heritage. Can she and Titus set aside their differences to thwart the sinister forces at play, or will their tumultuous past lead to their ultimate downfall?

This open access book addresses the question of how God can providentially govern apparently ungovernable randomness. Medieval theologians confidently held that God is provident, that is, God is the ultimate cause of or is responsible for everything that happens. However, scientific advances since the 19th century pose serious challenges to traditional views of providence. From Darwinian evolution to quantum mechanics, randomness has become an essential part of the scientific worldview. An interdisciplinary team of Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars—biologists, physicists, philosophers and theologians—addresses questions of randomness and providence.
The timeless insight of Islam’s sacred writings can enrich your own spiritual journey. For many in the West, the teachings of the Qur’an often are enshrouded in mystery and fear. Yet Islam’s holy book gave birth to one of the most powerful and enlightened civilizations the world has ever seen. By the sixteenth century, Muslim culture stretched from India to Africa to Europe, preserving with it the ancient learning that helped spawn the Renaissance. With its interwoven ideas of faith and reason, justice and mercy, the path of Islam—which literally means “surrendering to God’s will”—offers a uniquely focused and balanced approach to living life with a profound awareness of God....
Die Ebolaepidemie von 2014 hat zuletzt vor Augen geführt, wie schnell Viren sich ausbreiten und ganze Staaten in Ausnahmezustand versetzen können. HIV, aber auch Grippe oder Masern fordern jährlich hunderttausende Menschenleben, und neu auftretende oder sich neu ausbreitende Erreger wie Mers oder das Zikavirus werden mit Sorge betrachtet. Dabei sind die Partikel dringend auf einen Wirt angewiesen, in dessen Zellen sie sich vermehren können. Was macht einzelne Viren so gefährlich, mit welchen Methoden lassen sie sich bekämpfen?
Eigentlich ist kein Mensch je allein – denn in unserem Körper tummeln sich Milliarden von Organismen, die uns nicht nur still begleiten, sondern aktiv in unser Leben eingreifen. Bakterien, Viren und Pilze in unserem Darm entscheiden womöglich mit, ob wir gesund oder krank, dick oder dünn, glücklich oder traurig sind. Forscher entschlüsseln gerade erst, wie viel Einfluss unsere winzigen Mitbewohner auf uns haben. Und sie versuchen, das Wissen zu nutzen, um bessere Therapien für verschiedene Erkrankungen – darunter sogar Krebs – zu entwickeln. In diesem Kompakt fassen wir die neuesten Erkenntnisse zum menschlichen Mikrobiom zusammen.
