    Modern Philosophies of the Will
    How did the will come to dominate the self-understanding of the modern subject? What lies at the root of the megalomania of desire that defines human experience in the age of global technology? In Modern Philosophies of the Will, Reiner Schürmann traces a philosophical archeology of the willing subject from Ancient Greece into the 20th century.Through a series of original readings of Kant, Schelling, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, Schürmann uncovers the strategic interplay of submission and command that sets the stage for the will's epochal "triumph," while hinting at possibilities of subverting its mastery over both the self and the world. With an appendix offering a polemical critique of Hannah Arendt's The Life of the Mind, as well as an editorial afterword contextualizing these lectures in Schürmann's broader work, this volume will be of value to specialist and student alike.

    Energy and Civilization: A History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1209min
    Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows-ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity - for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel-driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts - from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering listeners a magisterial overview. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Colacci.

    Ovid in Sondershausen
    Eine Leseprobe finden Sie unter "http://verlag.sandstein.de/reader/98-438_OvidSondershausen"Vor 2000 Jahren (17/18 u.Z.) starb der römische Dichter Ovid. Kein Literat der Antike hatte auf die Künste der Nachwelt eine so umfassende und tiefgreifende Wirkung wie er. Seine »Metamorphosen«, epochal als Sprachkunstwerk, wurden auch zu einem Standardwerk der antiken Mythologie, aus dem Künstler über Jahrhunderte hinweg Erzählungen und Motive für Gemälde und grafische Blätter, Skulpturen, Stuckaturen und kunsthandwerkliche Arbeiten ableiteten. Ein ganz besonderer Ort der Ovid-Rezeption ist Schloss Sondershausen, das in Nordthüringen gelegene ehemalige Residenzschloss der Grafen bzw. Fürsten von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. Hier findet man nach Motiven aus Ovids Werken gestaltete Wandgemälde aus dem 16., Stuckaturen aus dem frühen 17. Jahrhundert, Raumdekore mit einer Vielzahl von Deckengemälden aus dem späten 17. und großflächige Deckengemälde aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, zudem eine inmitten des Schlosshofs stehende Brunnenfigur des spektakulärsten Heros der Antike - Herkules.

    Conquistador Voices: The Spanish Conquest of the Americas as Recounted Largely by the Participants, Volume I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
    The Spanish Conquest: What really happened?If you like to use your drive time for education by audiobook, consider this audiobook for widening and deepening your view of an event you studied briefly in school - the Spanish conquest of the Americas.Conquistador Voices, which relies more heavily than most works of this kind on first-person accounts, neither glamorizes nor condemns the conquistadors. Somewhat in the manner of a modern film documentary, it treats the so-called conquest as an historical event that’s worth learning about for its own sake, with most of the moralizing left to the listener.In two volumes, Conquistador Voices covers five high-profile personages and their respective roles in this epochal event. Vol I features the voyages of Christopher Columbus and the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés, while vol II provides an in-depth look at the conquest of Peru by Francisco Pizarro, the years-long desert odyssey of Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, and the North American expedition of Hernando de Soto. Both volumes get deeply into details of Native American life in those times.Spice up your drive time with this entertaining and educational audiobook excursion into the past. ungekürzt.

    The Golden Age, Hörbuch, Digital, 372min
    The Golden Age is a vibrant tapestry of American political and cultural life from 1939 to 1954, when the epochal events of World War II and the Cold War transformed America, once and for all, for good or ill, from a republic into an empire. The sharp-eyed and sympathetic witnesses to these events are Caroline Sanford, Washington, D.C., newspaper publisher turned Hollywood pioneer producer-star, and Peter Sanford, her nephew and publisher of the independent intellectual journal The American Idea. They experience at first hand the masterful maneuvers of Franklin Roosevelt to bring a reluctant nation into World War II, and later, the actions of Harry Truman that commit the nation to a decades-long twilight struggle against communism. The locus of these events is Washington, D.C., yet the Hollywood film industry and the cultural centers of New York also play significant parts.The Golden Age offers up United States history as only Gore Vidal can, with unrivaled penetration, wit, and high drama, allied to a classical view of human fate. It is a supreme entertainment that will also change listeners' understanding of American history and power. Language: English. Narrator: Kathryn Walker.

    Whirlwind: The American Revolution and the War That Won It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1038min
    Amid a great collection of scholarship and narrative history on the Revolutionary War and the American struggle for independence, there is a gaping hole - one that John Ferling's latest audiobook, Whirlwind, will fill. Books chronicling the revolution have largely ranged from multivolume tomes that appeal to scholars and the most serious general listeners to microhistories that necessarily gloss over swaths of Independence-era history with only cursory treatment. Written in Ferling's engaging and narrative-driven style that made books like Independence and The Ascent of George Washington critical and commercial successes, Whirlwind is a fast-paced and scrupulously told one-volume history of this epochal time. Balancing social and political concerns of the period and perspectives of the average American revolutionary with a careful examination of the war itself, Ferling has crafted the ideal book for armchair military history buffs, a book about the causes of the American Revolution, the war that won it, and the meaning of the revolution overall. Combining careful scholarship, arresting detail, and illustrative storytelling, Whirlwind is a unique and compelling addition to any collection of books on the American Revolution. ungekürzt.
