June 1976Über den Prozeß der Zivilisation
Soziogenetische und psychogenetische Untersuchungen
by Norbert Elias
Die Soziologie des 20. Jahrhunderts hat die langfristigen Transformationen der Gesellschafts- und Persönlichkeitsstukturen weitgehend aus den Augen ver-loren. Im Werk von Norbert Elias sind gerade diese langfristigen Prozesse das zentrale Thema: Wie ging eigentlich die »Zivilisation« im Abendlande vor sich? Worin bestand sie? Und welches waren ihre Antriebe, ihre Ursachen oder Motoren? Bei Elias' Arbeit handelt es sich weder um eine Untersuchung über eine »Evolution« im Sinne des 19. Jahrhunderts noch um eine Untersuchung über einen unspezifischen »sozialen Wandel« im Sinne des 20.; seine Arbeit ist grundlegend für eine undogmatische, empirisch fundierte soziologische Theorie sozialer Prozesse. Die Kassette beinhaltet Band 1 (Wandlungen des Verhaltens in den weltlichen Oberschichten des Abendlandes) und Band 2 (Wandlungen der Gesellschaft. Entwurf zu einer Theorie der Zivilisation).

September 2018Jacobin
Die Anthologie
by Loren Balhorn, Bhaskar Sunkara, Stephan Gebauer
»Ein Licht in dunklen Zeiten.« Noam Chomsky Enthält ein Interview mit Bernie Sanders! Seit 2010 mischt Jacobin als Sprachrohr der neuen amerikanischen Linken die intellektuelle Szene in den USA auf. In dem Magazin treten junge Autorinnen und Autoren offen für den Sozialismus ein, und das im Land des Hyperkapitalismus. Mit polemischen Artikeln entwickelte sich Jacobin schnell zu einem einflussreichen Ideengeber für Occupy Wall Street und die Bewegung um Bernie Sanders. Inzwischen erscheint die Zeitschrift in einer Auflage von 30.000 Exemplaren, online erreicht sie jeden Monat rund eine Million Leser. Dieser Band versammelt erstmals eine Auswahl von Beiträgen auf Deutsch. In den Texten zur Identitätspolitik und zu Black Lives Matter, zum Stand des Kapitalismus und der Kapitalismuskritik sowie zum »Zombie-Marxismus« und dem Aufstieg Donald Trumps zeichnen sich die Konturen eines politischen Programms ab, das fraglos auch hierzulande die Diskussionen um eine strategische Neuausrichtung der Linken befruchten wird.

July 2017Angel Veneration and Christology
A Study in Early Judaism and in the Christology of the Apocalypse of John
by Loren T. Stuckenbruck
The public worship of the risen Christ as depicted in John’s Apocalypse directly contradicts the guiding angel’s emphasis that only God should be worshiped (Revelation 19:10; 22:8-9). In Angel Veneration and Christology, Loren Stuckenbruck explores this contradiction in light of angel veneration in Early Judaism. Stuckenbruck surveys a wide variety of Jewish traditions related to angelic worship and discovers proscriptions against sacrificing to angels; prohibitions against making images of angels; rejections of the "two powers"; second-century Christian apologetic accusations specifically directed against Jews; and, most importantly, the refusal tradition, widespread in Jewish and Jewish-Christian writings, wherein angelic messengers refuse the veneration of the seer and exhort the worship of God alone. While evidence for the practice of angel veneration among Jews of antiquity (Qumran, pseudepigraphal literature, and inscriptions from Asia Minor) does not furnish the immediate background for the worship of Christ, Stuckenbruck demonstrates that the very fact that safeguards to a monotheistic framework were issued at all throws light on the Christian practice of worshiping Jesus. The way the Apocalypse adapts the refusal tradition illuminates Revelation’s declarations about and depictions of Jesus. Though the refusal tradition itself only safeguards the worship of God, Stuckenbruck traces how the tradition has been split so that the angelophanic elements were absorbed into the christophany. As Stuckenbruck shows, an angelomorphic Christology, shared by the author of Revelation and its readers, functions to preserve the author’s monotheistic emphasis as well as to emphasize Christ’s superiority over the angels—setting the stage for the worship of the Lamb in a monotheistic framework that does not contradict the angelic directive to worship God alone.

Travel writingJune 2016Gullible's Travels
Confessions of an International Towel Thief
by John Carter
This new book from popular TV personality and journalist John Carter, presenter of ITV's Wish You Were Here from 1987 to 1997 and the BBC's Holiday from 1969 to 1987, lifts the lid on the stories that never made it to screen or press, sometimes because they had no bearing on the article or destination report he was compiling, but often because they could not be told for fear of the consequences, from behind-the-scenes mishaps to hilarious encounters with famous names.Having travelled the world for over half a century on behalf of newspapers and magazines, radio and television programmes - and, occasionally, just for the fun of it - John Carter has a vast store of tales to tell. Now he has put a selection of those stories down on paper. Of necessity, names have occasionally had to be changed not only to protect the innocent, but to save the blushes of the guilty.As well as those and other true stories, this book is laced with 'factions': tales that are based on real incidents and encounters - on cruise ships, as it happens - but which have been 'tweaked' to provide the neat ending that real life usually neglects. Though, as this collection proves, real life is far more unlikely than the strangest of fiction."During my work on television, people would often say they liked what I did because I seemed to be genuinely enjoying myself," he says. "The most frequent comment was that they hoped to get as much from their holiday as I did. Which is why I have finally set down my own rather unbelievable experiences."Whether evading Italian film companies in Yugoslavia - and accidentally encountering Sophia Loren - getting thrown out of a royal reception in Morocco or being press-ganged into acting as a tour guide on his very first trip to the USA, John Carter has enjoyed his travels and revels in the unexpected situations that he has faced along the way.

True stories of heroism, endurance & survivalJune 2020Salvation Canyon
A True Story of Desert Survival in Joshua Tree
by Ed Rosenthal
Los Angeles poet Ed Rosenthal’s hiking vacation turns deadly in soaring Mojave heat; his true survival story leaves you with chills. Ed Rosenthal, “The Poet-Broker”, advocates for historic properties in downtown Los Angeles and negotiates to save them. In 2010, after closing his biggest deal, he skips town to Joshua Tree National Park, only to find himself inexplicably lost. Over six grueling days without water, food, or hope, snippets of his life and his hard-knock youth in Queens play over the inspiring yet deadly landscape in soaring 120-degree heat. The God of Random Chance has, despite his best efforts his whole life, finally caught up to him. He describes his ordeal and its setting in intimate, vivid detail: surreal visions mix with wayfinding and intuitive wisdom in a poet’s-eye view of the life-lessons and magic that the desert can hold. Rosenthal’s shocking ordeal was covered on The Discovery Channel, local broadcast, The Weather Channel, in Los Angeles Magazine, and in an interview with Dick Gordon for “The Story” on National Public Radio, and by the Associated Press. In 2014 he was the subject of an episode of “Fight to Survive” with Bear Grylls on The Outdoor Channel. News of his ordeal was broadcast and published in Europe.

RelationshipsMay 2014The Manly Art of Seduction
How to Meet, Talk to, and Become Intimate with Anyone
by Perry Brass
“Men are not supposed to be seductive.” Perry Brass heard this while young, so of course it gave him an open field in a kind of behavior that can be exciting, fulfilling, and satisfying. If you feel you’re always waiting for someone else to make the first move—if you’re traumatized by your fear of rejection and don’t have a clue how to open a conversation or expand the terms of a relationship, The Manly Art of Seduction is a must-have. Brass explains male territorialism, and how it keeps men locked inside themselves. He talks about making decisions yourself, and how these decisions can be used to make seduction possible—even easy. He deals with the monster of rejection, and how to use mind pictures and exercises to rejection-proof your psyche. At the end of most chapters are questions you can use to tailor this book to your needs, seeing your own progress as you come to master this art. Although seduction is a part of our commercial environment, Perry Brass has brought it to a place where we can find spiritual and inner nourishment, and where the chronic aloneness of much of life can be changed into a state of delight and deeper sexual and emotional connections. “Filled with useful, practical advice, this guide is likely to make gay men feel more in control . . . . Although he touches on common advice like tapping into shared interests, Brass also explores deeper concepts like valor and territorialism, and his stunning chapter on rejection should be a must-read for everyone in the dating scene.” Elizabeth Millard, ForeWord Reviews, January, 2010. “What Brass does so well is guide a man in how to get from the initial meeting all the way to the first date and beyond. But the brilliance of the book is that you can actually read it from the perspective of the person being seduced. The "seductee" can see just how open and vulnerable the person approaching them is being, and also see what types of responses they might end up getting back. The seductee might then see himself and begin to understand how his behavior might be affecting the situation. And in that, he might learn how to let down his own guard, and allow that connection to take place.” Kevin Taft, Edge Magazine: Boston. March 1, 2010

Health & Personal DevelopmentJune 2018Winning the War on Cancer
The Epic Journey Towards a Natural Cure
by Sylvie Beljanski
President Nixon declared the War on Cancer in 1971. 45 years and billions of dollars later, it looks like we have lost the battle. Or have we? When a natural, non-toxic way to fight cancer is discovered, it is big news in the scientific community. But instead of being embraced, it is fiercely opposed by those tied to the pharmaceutical industry. Research by the late Mirko Beljanski, PhD,—one of the first green molecular biologists—revealed that natural molecules can selectively target cancer cells and work alongside many chemotherapy drugs. Called upon by President Mitterrand of France to treat his prostate cancer, Beljanski allowed Mitterand to reach his second term in office; but upon the president’s death, the scientist became the subject of relentless persecution. This book, written through the eyes of Dr. Beljanski’s daughter, Sylvie, tells the true story of one woman’s quest to carry on her father’s legacy and to discover a new treatment for cancer. The book combines scientific information with a tale of defiance, hope, despair, personal growth and love.
