Testament of Memory
A remarkably simple and yet profoundly deep narrative, this translation is an introduction to the remote world of the 19th-century Altai: a mountainous region of southern Siberia possessing unique flora and fauna and peaks rising to nearly 15,000 feet. Native Altai tribesman Mikhail Chelvalkov vividly describes the physical beauty of the region while chronicling many of the encounters that took place throughout his life as the population transformed from competing nomadic pagan tribes to a settled and harmonious Orthodox Christian culture. One of the first native disciples of the Russian Orthodox missionary priest Makarii Glukharev—who was made a saint in AD 2000—Chelvalkov's testament provides invaluable insights for students of Christian mission, ethnography, geography, and botany.

Jeder Tag hat viele Leben
Es braucht nicht viel, um dem eigenen Leben eine völlig neue Richtung, einen ganz neuen Geschmack zu geben – sind es doch die kleinen, unauffälligen Kurskorrekturen, die weitreichende Auswirkungen haben. So wie ein Kiesel, den man ins Wasser wirft, weite Kreise zieht und ein fallender Dominostein Zehntausende weitere Steine mit sich reißt. Was passiert, wenn man beim Kuchenbacken eine Zutat verändert? Und wohin fährt ein Schiff, wenn der Kapitän den Kurs um lediglich fünf Grad ändern würde? Der renommierte Philosophieprofessor Clemens Sedmak begleitet zwölf Menschen dabei, wie sie durch eine minimale Änderung jeden Tag ihres Lebens besser machen – mithilfe der Philosophie der kleinen Schritte. Nicht, um jemandem etwas zu beweisen. Sondern um am Abend sagen zu können: Ja, das war ein guter Tag!
