To return to his hereditary throne on Ithaca, Telemachus, son of Odysseus and Penelope, musters the cleverness of his father and the wisdom of his mother as he navigates the treacherous waters of the War of the Families. More devastating than the Trojan War, this conflict pits the two greatest clans in ancient Greece: the Pelopides and Heraclides. It is the last gasp of a failing civilization. With remarkable parallels to today, Telemachus fights to maintain his beliefs and preserve his family. "This is a startlingly epic tale, ripe with originality and rendered with a highly adept ear for language. Beautifully written and exhaustively researched, the narrative builds on the history and age from which the material was born."
In Thrive, Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and one of the most influential women in the world, has written a passionate call to arms, looking to redefine what it means to be successful in today’s world. She likens our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we’re going to topple over. We need a third leg – a Third Metric for defining success – in order to live a healthy, productive, and meaningful life. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritising the demands of a career and two daughters. Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplaces, and our lives.
Die Frage der menschlichen Rassen ist das größte Tabu unserer Tage. Politik, Medien und selbst die Wissenschaften verkünden mit Nachdruck, dass es Menschenrassen überhaupt nicht gäbe – dass sie lediglich "soziale Konstrukte" seien und unsere biologischen Unterschiede nicht bis "unter die Haut" reichen würden. Doch wie bei früheren Tabus wirkt unser Umgang auch mit diesem Thema bei genauerem Hinsehen wahnhaft und unlogisch. Dass es Unterschiede zwischen den Rassen gibt, tritt etwa bei internationalen Sportveranstaltungen für jeden Zuschauer offen zutage. Im Gesundheitswesen wird die Rasse mehr und mehr zum essenziellen Faktor, besonders in Fragen der Krankheitsanfälligkeit und der ...
