        Der zivilisatorische Prozeß

        Herausgegeben, übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort von Heinz Rudolf Sonntag

        by Darcy Ribeiro, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag

        Darcy Ribeiro geht von der Annahme aus, daß technologische Revolutionen und zivilisatorische Prozesse einen untrennbaren Zusammenhang bilden. Diese Prämisse ist nicht neu, und auch die Genauigkeit, mit der Ribeiro acht technologische Revolutionen, zwölf zivilisatorische Prozesse und achtzehn sich daraus entwickelnde soziokulturelle Formationen beschreibt, ist anderswo anzutreffen. Neu ist aber die Konsequenz, mit der aus diesem Versuch, ein neues Schema der Humanevolution zu entwickeln, die Folgerung gezogen wird, daß »entwickelte« und »unterentwickelte« Völker nicht verschiedene, naturhafte Phasen des gleichen Entwicklungsprozesses darstellen, sondern gemeinsam Bestandteile eines globalen Herrschaftssystems sind, das zu seiner Aufrechterhaltung eben dieser Ungleichzeitigkeit bedarf. Denn »die Unterentwicklung stellt … weder den Rückschritt gegenüber dem Fortschritt noch archaische Gesellschaften gegenüber modernen dar. Sie ist vielmehr eine notwendige Konsequenz der Innovation der Industriellen Revolution«.

        Stolz und Vorurteil

        by Jane Austen, Margarete Rauchenberger, Hugh Thomson

        Es ist eine allgemein anerkannte Wahrheit, dass ein Junggeselle, der ein beachtliches Vermögen besitzt, zu seinem Glück nur noch einer Frau bedarf. Die fünf Bennet-Schwestern sollen standesgemäß unter die Haube gebracht werden, das ist das erklärte Ziel ihrer Mutter. Als der attraktive und vermögende Mr. Darcy in das Leben der Bennets tritt, scheint der perfekte Schwiegersohn und Ehemann für Elizabeth gefunden. Wäre er der klugen und stolzen jungen Frau aufgrund seiner blasierten Überheblichkeit nur nicht so unsympathisch – und damit als Ehemann gänzlich ungeeignet … In einer Gesellschaft, in der sich der Heiratsmarkt nach Stand und Vermögen richtet, Gefühle jedoch nie außen vor bleiben, gilt es Eitelkeiten, Vorurteile und den eigenen Stolz zu überwinden, um das wirkliche Glück zu finden!

        She played and sang

        Jane Austen and music

        by Gillian Dooley

        Like her much-loved heroine Emma Woodhouse, Jane Austen 'played and sang'. Music occupied a central role in her life, and she made brilliant use of it in her books to illuminate characters' personalities and highlight the contrasts between them. Until recently, our knowledge of Austen's musical inclinations was limited to the recollections of relatives who were still in their youth when she passed away. But with the digitisation of music books from her immediate family circle, a treasure trove of evidence has emerged. Delving into these books, alongside letters and other familial records, She played and sang unveils a previously unknown facet of Austen's world. This insightful work not only uncovers the music closely associated with Austen, but also unravels her musical connections with family and friends, revealing the intricate ties between her fiction and the melodies she performed. With these revelations, Austen's musical legacy comes to life, granting us a deeper understanding of her artistic prowess and the influences that shaped her literary masterpieces.

        Mrs Darcy Versus the Aliens

        by Jonathan Pinnock

As Regency England sleepwalks toward tentacled oblivion, will she be able to reunite with her old foe Wickham and put a stop to their evil plans? Mrs Darcy Versus the Aliens is probably the most unconventional sequel to a Jane Austen novel ever written and is certainly the funniest.

        The Harder They Fall

        by Trish Jensen

        “I laughed so hard I fell off the couch . . . . Don't read this book while eating or drinking, you might snarf something down the wrong way and hurt yourself. . . . on behalf of all fans of screwball comedies, I'd like to thank you Trish. More, please.” – All About Romance Food fight, love match, or both? She’s a lovable klutz trying to save her family’s restaurant chain. He’s a stuffed shirt angling to buy it. Who will trip up and fall in love first? Darcy Welham’s dad is ready to sell his five-star restaurants and retire, but she’s determined to prove she can be trusted to keep the family business going. Darcy’s sure it’s what her mother would have wanted. Only one problem: her life turns into a comedy show when she’s nervous. Pratfalls, spills, slips and fires—all in a day’s misadventures for Darcy. She can’t even wait on tables without dumping food into the customers’ laps. When supper lands on a sensitive area of businessman Michael Davidson’s finely creased trousers, he tries to have his gorgeous but careless waitress fired, only to discover that she’s the person he has to win over if he wants to buy the restaurant chain for his bosses. From that antagonistic start, Darcy and Michael soon find that there’s more to each other than first expected. She’s clumsy because she’s got low self-esteem. She may be a disaster as a waitress, but she’s a genius as a cook, with a talent for creating mouth-watering new dishes. Darcy begins to realize that Michael is not a stuffed shirt at heart—he’s patient, strong and brave, which any man who dates Darcy has to be, because she turns into a Danger Zone every time he makes her heart flutter. Trish Jensen is the bestselling author of STUCK WITH YOU. Look for more funny and romantic Trish Jensen novels coming soon from Bell Bridge Books. Visit Trish at http://TrishJensen.com.

        Gamers

        by Cambry Varner

        Though Sally considers herself an avid gamer, she never indulged in MMORPGs, at least until her stepsister, Darcy, convinced her to give the popular Shadow’s Deep a chance. It was supposed to be an evening of dungeon raiding and level grinding, that is until Sally clicked the login icon and found herself trapped in the game world with Darcy. With Shadow’s Deep now a life or death game, Sally and Darcy must quickly find others trapped within the game and form a party to survive. NPCs are no longer smiling pixels with scripted lines, but have their own motives and prejudices. And the monsters have sharp teeth that tear and draw blood. Fortunately, Sally and the party are players, each with their own set of skills and abilities giving them an advantage in this world. They just have to overcome their own fears to tap into the bravery they never knew they possessed.

        Blue Sky Kingdom

        An Epic Family Journey to the Heart of the Himalaya

        by Bruce Kirkby

        One morning at breakfast, while gawking at his phone and feeling increasingly disconnected from family and everything else of importance in his world, it strikes writer Bruce Kirkby: This isn’t how he wants to live. Within days, plans begin to take shape. Bruce, his wife Christine, and their two children – seven-year-old Bodi and three-year-old Taj – will cross the Pacific by container ship, then travel onward through South Korea, China, India, and Nepal aboard bus, riverboat, and train, eventually traversing the Himalaya by foot. Their destination: a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery in the remote Zanskar valley, one of the last places where Tibetan Buddhism is still practiced freely in its original setting.   In this refuge, where ancient traditions intersect with the modern world, Kirkby discovers ways to slow down, to observe and listen, and ultimately, to better understand his son on the autism spectrum – to surrender all expectations and connect with Bodi exactly as he is.   Recounted with wit and humility, Blue Sky Kingdom is an engaging travel memoir as well as a thoughtful exploration of modern distraction, the loss of ancient wisdom, and the challenges and rewards of intercultural friendships.
