Willy Brandts altester Sohn Peter erinnert sich an seinen Vater als Politiker und Privatmann, der noch in den 1980er-Jahren eine der umstrittensten Personlichkeiten in Deutschland war. Und er schreibt uber das "liebevolle, aber nicht ganz einfache Verhaltnis zweier sperriger Menschen". Peter Brandt verbindet die familieninterne Sicht mit dem analytischen Blick des Historikers. So entstand zum 100. Geburtstag von Willy Brandt am 18. Dezember 2013 keine Biographie im herkommlichen Sinne sondern ein Essay, der Privates und Politisches gemeinsam deutet und bislang weniger bekannte Zuge dieser Jahrhundertgestalt mit kritischer Zuneigung herausarbeitet.

Wenn Walter Trefz erzahlte, war es, als klinge in seiner Stimme das Raunen und Rauschen des gesamten Schwarzwaldes mit. Als ein Wald- und Umweltschutzer der ersten Stunde, im Kampf gegen den Sauren Regen, im groen Streit um Gift, Kalk und Ozon wurde der Revierforster Trefz fur viele zum charismatischen Aufklarer. Fur andere blieb er zeitlebens der Oko-Spinner, ein renitenter Provokateur und Storenfried. Der Walder stand weit uber seine Heimat hinaus und schon sehr fruh fur ein radikales Umdenken: weniger Chemie, weniger Technik. Wildnis statt Wirtschaftswald. Und insbesondere: echte, tiefe Verbundenheit mit allem, was lebt, wachst und im fortwahrenden Kreislauf vergeht. Uber Jahre war Annette Rieger immer wieder Gast in seinem Haus auf dem Kniebis und hat seinen Erzahlungen gelauscht, auerdem Gesprache mit Wegbegleiterinnen und Wegbegleitern gefuhrt. Was sie erzahlt, ist die Geschichte ihres Walders, eine sehr personliche Lebensgeschichte des Forsters, Lebensphilosophen und Widerstandlers Walter Trefz, gleichzeitig ein Blick hinter die Kulissen von fruher Umweltbewegung, Forstwirtschaft und Tourismus im Schwarzwald.

La biografía definitiva de Voltaire (1694-1778), desde sus escandalosos amoríos y maniobras políticas hasta su inspirada filosofía.Si bien pensamos en Voltaire como el arquetipo de la Ilustración, pocos saben que en su epoca tambien fue la figura mas famosa y controvertida de Europa. A lo largo de su vida, sus obras y opiniones le granjearon un sinnumero de criticos, adversarios y censores por desafiar, sobre todo, a los dos poderes facticos de su tiempo: la Iglesia catolica y la monarquia.Sus exilios y estancias en otros paises lo pusieron en contacto con algunas de las personalidades e ideas mas progresistas de la epoca; fue Voltaire quien introdujo los escritos de Isaac Newton y John Locke a Francia. Su desaprobacion a la tortura, la guerra, la persecucion religiosa y la monarquia absoluta, asi como su defensa de la igualdad, el progreso y la libertad, tanto de culto como de expresion, allanaron el camino para las ideas que instigarian la Revolucion francesa en 1789 e inspiraron a grandes intelectuales estadounidenses, como Benjamin Franklin y Thomas Jefferson.Fue un escritor versatil y prolifico: es autor de obras de teatro, poemas, panfletos, tratados filosoficos, historicos y cientificos y una monumental correspondencia que abarca casi 20 000 cartas. Su obra esta considerada, ademas, como uno de los grandes monumentos de la literatura francesa; su influencia fue tal que, para muchos franceses, el siglo XVIII es el siglo de Voltaire.

O Diário de Marion, é o novelo sendo desnovelado, aos poucos um ponto é um ponto de vista que se estrutura a outros pontos de vistas. Peças de nossos paradigmas e de nossos fatos que somente uma constante observaço pode nos levar a outras estruturas especificas para aprimorar, e compor diferenças entre o nosso pensamento e nossas aptides. So nossas competencias, mas de pouca historia, apesar dos sucessos modais, nossas vidas se entremeiam de tal maneira, que so podemos pensar num grande novelo, que dai, somente usa-lo seria uma perturbadora catastrofe. Assim, pelo diario a aula e formada com cuidado, com tecnica e com competencia. Mesmo assim, a neutralidade de Marion a suportar a propria presso, somente a fisica desenvolveria o poder das atomizaçes e da propria gravidade, para aqueles que a escutam e interpretam entre o fato e provas, entre a teoria e as experimentaçes. E de gravidade, todos entendem muito bem, mas perceber e algo que eleva o ato, a potencia dos juizos, assim as bibliografias, as leis, que deveriam ser os atos constantes de uma observaço competente dos efeitos climaticos de nossas vidas e da vida de nosso planeta.

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at 292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history. The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to Londons underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted 427 million in bonds - 135 million more than the Bank of England had reported. As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime. Keith Cheeseman is the last of the old-time gangsters, a con man who detests violence, wears Savile Row suits and gold watches, and loves classic cars and good dining. He bought non-league Dunstable football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess. So what happened to the missing 135 million? In this breathtaking adventure, featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheesemans incredible true story for the first time.

Few professions comprise such an eclectic mix of personalities as that of intelligence. The characteristics required to thrive as a spy ideological conviction, ego, the ability to manipulate, deceive and remain cold have created some of the most compelling and enduring figures in history.In The Intelligent Spys Handbook, Robin Renwick provides an overview of the biggest names in the world of espionage, with a wonderful eye for the details that bring each of them to life. We hear, for instance, of how Kim Philby, to have fun at the expense of his colleagues, kept a photograph in his office of Mount Ararat taken from the Soviet side.We see how the audacious, far-fetched ideas of the naval officer Ian Fleming, aside from creating the most famous of all spies, may have actually inspired the real-life Operation Mincemeat. And the darker side of some of our more heroic stories is exposed, from the chemical castration of Alan Turing to the personal sacrifices Oleg Gordievsky made to become Britains most successful Soviet mole.Whether youre a seasoned veteran or a first-time reader, this book is the perfect primer on the best-known individuals in the history of intelligence.

Mogli, figli, musica, incontri con altri artisti meravigliosi, le difficolta? dellinizio, la voglia di indipendenza, laffermazione,il successo mondiale, gli infiniti pellegrinaggi comunque alla ricerca di qualcosa.

Ist dieses Buch ein Projekt der Aliens?Klara Wolf (Pseudonym) und ihre Familie hat bereits seit langerer Zeit auergewohnliche Erlebnisse und Kontakterfahrungen mit einer nichtirdischen Intelligenz. So hatte es die Autorin nicht nur mit den inzwischen allseits bekannten Grauen zu tun. Auch Blonde, durre Arzte, Reptiloide, eine riesige Gottesanbeterin (Mantis), geist- und energieartige Erscheinungen und Men in Black begegneten ihr. Nachdem Klara Wolf sich an den fachkundigen Autor und Hypnosetherapeuten Dr. Marcel Polte wandte, nahm sie dessen Ratschlag an, ihre Erlebnisse genau zu notieren. Auerdem wurden zahlreiche Zeichnungen uber das Geschehene von der Autorin und ihren Tochtern angefertigt. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Autorin klar, dass die Fremden ihr ganz offensichtlich Dinge zeigen, die sie fur die weitere Entwicklung der Menschheit fur wichtig erachten. Somit ist dieses Buch einzigartig und auch ein Projekt der Aliens.Der Entfuhrungs- und Kontaktfall Klara Wolf ist in seiner Ausfuhrlichkeit und den vielen einzelnen Facetten wohl einmalig im deutschsprachigen Raum. Allein der auerst gut dokumentierte Fall von Betty Andreasson, der von dem US-Forscher Raymond Fowler uber Jahre hinweg begleitet und in mehreren Buchern festgehalten wurde, kommt dem nahe. Dieses Buch ist ein Muss fur jeden, der sich fur das UFO-Entfuhrungs-Phanomen interessiert. Das vorliegende Werk vermittelt tiefgrundige Weisheiten. Doch nicht nur in und zwischen den Zeilen. Wer sich mit Zeit und Offenheit den Zeichnungen widmet, wird darin sicher auf versteckte Botschaften stoen. Dr. Marcel Polte

TIEFSTE DIMENSIONEN DES WISSENS Wie entsteht Existenz? Wer schafft Leben und Welten? Vielen Menschen gilt als Antwort: das war der Urknall. Ganz anders sehen es seit Urzeiten die Legenden und Marchen vieler Volker. Ihnen zufolge entstand die Welt nicht durch ein physikalisches Zufallsereignis, sondern wurde durch Magie oder Gesang aus dem Nichts geschopft. Unsere Tiefenerinnerungen sagen uns ahnliches. Im Versuch, Sinn und Zweck des eigenen Lebens zu begreifen, stoen Tausende Menschen in ihren MindWalking-Sitzungen auf groe und grote Zusammenhange. Auch die Entstehungsgeschichte des Universums und von Existenz uberhaupt erschliet sich. Demzufolge ist unsere Welt nicht durch einen Urknall entstanden, sondern auf spiritueller Grundlage. Sie wurde buchstablich ins Leben gerufen und wird es immer noch, denn auch heute noch entsteht Existenz permanent aus dem Nichts heraus. Wie Geist zu Materie werden kann und welche Grundgesetze dabei zum Tragen kommen, davon handelt dieses Buch im ersten Teil. Der zweite Teil vergleicht die Legenden zur Schopfungsgeschichte mit den ahnlich marchenhaft klingenden MindWalking-Befunden. Wir alle haben als geistige Wesen eine Rolle dabei gespielt, sei sie klein oder gro. Wir tun es immer noch. Welche Verantwortung damit einhergeht, wird in diesem Buch deutlich gemacht. Leserstimmen: "Die Erkenntnisse aus vielen tausenden Stunden geistiger Erkundungsreisen in wenigen Gesetzmaigkeiten zusammengefasst. Damit wird eine neue Sicht auf die Welt nicht nur greifbar, sondern auch besprechbar. Ein Fundament fur wirksames und befreiendes Training, Coaching und Management!" Wie ist unsere Welt entstanden? Wer oder was sind wir? Welches Potenzial steckt in uns? Das steckt fur mich da drin. Alle Phanomene und Komponenten von Existenz und Bewusstsein werden hier erklart. Besonders die Entstehung von Lebewesen hat mich beruhrt, gerade dass Pflanzen und Tiere eine Personlichkeit haben weit uber das Biologische hinaus. Wie das Universum und der ganze Rest verkorkst wurde. Und wie wir es anhand der Gesetze des Seins wieder in Ordnung bringen konnen. Erhellende Fakten, um sich selbst naher zu kommen und sich und sein Umfeld zu kapieren. Die Urmutter aller Science-Fiction-Filme mit ihrem Kampf zwischen Gut und Bose.
