Bitácora de un Viajero 2
A finales del 2013 tomé una decisión que cambiaría mi vida: irme a Israel a vivir solo. A cambiar mi vida. Ahora, solo falta un, ¿por qué? Muchos dirán que con diecinueve años no se puede hablar de un largo trayecto de vida, yo digo que sí. Y con tan solo diecinueve años, no solo vi que mi país, Uruguay, no podía brindarme un buen futuro, sino que al ser así, ya no tenía ganas de estudiar universidad en él. También factores como la mala convivencia en mi casa, la perdida de muchos amigos a base de un viaje que tuvo sus altos y bajos y el sentirme perdido, fueron causas suficientes para que se forme una gran frase en mi cabeza: "no tengo NADA que perder".

Langeoog – Biographie einer deutschen Insel
Die Nordseeinsel Langeoog als Brennpunkt deutscher Geschichte: Jörg Echternkamp historisiert erstmals umfassend einen Naturraum am Rande Deutschlands, der sich seit den 1880er Jahren zu einem Drehkreuz historischen Wandels entwickelt hat. Die methodisch reflektierte Untersuchung greift Impulse der modernen Raumgeschichte auf und fragt nach den wechselnden Bedeutungen, die „Langeoog" von den Einheimischen wie den Besuchern zugeschrieben wurden. Um deutsche Geschichte zu dezentralisieren, verschränkt Echternkamp analytisch und narrativ die Geschichte der Insel und ihrer Menschen mit der Geschichte Nordwestdeutschlands sowie der National- und Globalgeschichte. So verdeutlicht er die Dynamik...
The Last Knight
Maximilian I (1459–1519) skillfully crafted a public persona and personal mythology that eventually earned him the romantic sobriquet “Last Knight.” From the time he became duke of Burgundy at the age of eighteen until his death, his passion for the trappings and ideals of knighthood served his worldly ambitions, imaginative strategies, and resolute efforts to forge a legacy. A master of self-promotion, he ordered exceptional armor from the most celebrated armorers in Europe, as well as heroic autobiographical epics and lavish designs for prints. Indeed, Maximilian’s quest to secure his memory and expand his sphere of influence, despite chronic shortages of funds that left many of his most ambitious projects unfinished, was indomitable. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Maximilian’s death, this catalogue is the first to examine the masterworks that he commissioned, revealing how art and armor contributed to the construction of Maximilian’s identity and aspirations, and to the politics of Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
Operation Rising Sun
In 1944 Allied codebreakers learned the Imperial Japanese Navy had dispatched the cargo submarine I-52 to occupied France with tons of military supplies and payment—in gold—for German assistance. I-52 undertook the mission as part of the Yanagi missions, a military program meant to alleviate Japan’s desperate need for military material and technical knowledge. After tracking I-52 from Asia to the Atlantic, the Allies destroyed the vessel in a battle that ended the Yanagi missions and left I-52 an unlikely treasure ship on the seafloor. David W. Jourdan adds to the history of I-52 with a spellbinding account of his efforts to find the sunken submarine. One of the first joint American-Ru...
Kant: A Biography
This is the first full-length biography in more than fifty years of Immanuel Kant, one of the giants amongst the pantheon of Western philosophers as well as the one with the most powerful and broad influence on contemporary philosophy. It is well known that Kant spent his entire life in an isolated part of Prussia living the life of a typical university professor. This has given rise to the view that Kant was a pure thinker with no life of his own, or at least none worth considering seriously. In this biography, Manfred Kuehn debunks that myth once and for all. Taking account of the most recent scholarship Professor Kuehn allows the reader (whether interested in philosophy, history, politics, German culture, or religion) to follow the same journey that Kant himself took in emerging as a central figure in modern philosophy.
