Political Assassinations and Attempts in US History
The long, dark history of political violence in the United States Violence has been employed to achieve political objectives throughout history. Taking the life of a perceived enemy is as old as mankind. Antiquity is filled with examples of political murders, such as when Julius Caesar was felled by assassins in 44 BCE. While assassinations and assassination attempts are not unique to the American way of life, denizens of other nations sometimes look upon the US as populated by reckless cowboys owing to a “Wild West” attitude about violence, especially episodes involving guns. In this book, J. Michael Martinez focuses on assassinations and attempts in the American republic. Nine American...

Truth
_________________ 'Macdonald zeros in on the slipperiness of factuality, offering an array of case studies from the worlds of history, commerce and – of course – politics.' New York Times True or false? It’s rarely that simple. There is always more than one truth in every story. Eating meat is nutritious but it’s also damaging to the environment. The Internet disseminates knowledge but it also spreads hatred. As communicators, we select the truths that are most useful to our agenda. We can select truths constructively to inspire nations, encourage children, and drive progressive change. Or we can select truths that give a false impression of reality, misleading people without actuall...
The Rule of Culture
Culture has an abiding influence on the way countries and business corporations are governed. This book introduces the reader to the deep philosophies that drive corporations and governments in East Asia, from China through Japan and South Korea to Singapore. With sparkling clarity and spiced with anecdotes and case studies, it depicts how respect for cultures can lead to spectacular success, or the lack of it to failure. Confucian practices such as guanxi in Chinese society, the benevolent culture of entity firms in Japan, and patriarchal chaebols in South Korea are analyzed with examples like Esquel, Nissan, and Samsung. A delightful chapter on Daoism shows how it drives Jack Ma’s Alibab...
The Gene
** NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER ** The Gene is the story of one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in our history from the author of The Emperor of All Maladies. The story begins in an Augustinian abbey in 1856, and takes the reader from Darwin’s groundbreaking theory of evolution, to the horrors of Nazi eugenics, to present day and beyond - as we learn to “read” and “write” the human genome that unleashes the potential to change the fates and identities of our children. Majestic in its scope and ambition, The Gene provides us with a definitive account of the epic history of the quest to decipher the master-code that makes and defines humans – and paints a fascinati...

Das Gen
Die Geschichte einer der mächtigsten und gefährlichsten Ideen der Menschheit Mukherjee kreiert ein ambitioniertes und faszinierendes Panorama über den Versuch, das menschliche Genom zu entschlüsseln und in unser Erbgut einzugreifen. Es beginnt in einem augustinischen Kloster im Jahr 1856 und führt uns von Darwins Evolutionstheorie über die grausame Eugenik der Nationalsozialisten ins heute und darüber hinaus. Indem er seine eigene Familiengeschichte einwebt, die von tragischen psychischen Erkrankungen geprägt ist, führt Mukherjee uns vor Augen, dass die Forschungsergebnisse aus dem Labor einen immensen Einfluss auf unser echtes Leben haben, auf die Zukunft und die Identätit unserer Kinder. Das Gen ist das ultimative Buch über die Geschichte der Genetik und ermöglicht uns einen ehrlichen und erhellenden Blick in die Vergangenheit und Zukunft der Menschheit. »Mukherjee verpackt abstrakte, intellektuelle Ideen in emotionale Geschichten.« The Washington Post »Leicht verständlich und unterhaltsam, aber ohne grobe Vereinfachungen verknüpft er geschickt große Ereignisse der Wissenschaft mit seiner eigenen Familiengeschichte.« Deutschlandfunk
