    Migration and the European City
    Looking back over the centuries, migration has always formed an important part of human existence. Spatial mobility emerges as a key driver of urban evolution, characterized by situation-specific combinations of opportunities, restrictions, and fears. This collection of essays investigates interactions between European cities and migration between the early modern period and the present. Building on conceptual approaches from history, sociology, and cultural studies, twelve contributions focus on policies, representations, and the impact on local communities more generally. Combining case-studies and theoretical reflections, the volume's contributions engage with a variety of topics and disciplinary perspectives yet also with several common themes. One revolves around problems of definition, both in terms of demarcating cities from their surroundings and of distinguishing migration in a narrower sense from other forms of short- and long-distance mobility. Further shared concerns include the integration of multiple analytical scales, contextual factors, and diachronic variables (such as urbanization, industrialization, and the digital revolution).

    The Earth Gods
    "The Earth Gods" is a 1931 work by poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and visual artist most famous for his book "The Prophet" (1923), which remains one of the best-selling and most-translated books ever written. His work dealt with a variety of themes including justice, science, free will, love, the soul, happiness, the body, death, etc.; and are characterised by an unmistakable use of symbolism and melancholic style. First published in the year of his death, "The Earth Gods" revolves around a discourse between three gods (First God, Second God, and Third God) who proceed to discuss a range of spiritual concepts. "The Earth Gods" is a classic example of Gibran's mystical prose that will not disappoint those who have read and enjoyed other works by this seminal author. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

    Space and time: The Gabriel Ramirez Series, Book 55 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    If during the day we can only see one star the sun and look up and see the stars in the night sky in summer, the north star, the southern cross, Ursa major, Polaris. Then the Earth revolves around the sun and is 180 degrees from where it was and now winter. Should it not be that we are unable to see the universe that we were looking at in summer because we can't see past the sun? Would we not be looking out into the night sky in the total opposite direction? And at a different part of the universe? Well, how is it that we see the same stars in winter as we do in summer as well as spring and autumn, all year round, year in year out? are we to believe that these stars also rotate around the sun at the same we do? Or could the Bible be true, and we are the center of the universe, and everything revolves around us. And we are the observers and witnesses to God divine creation, power, precision, majesty, and glory.Numerous brilliant mathematical minds make it their life's work theorizing about the workings of the universe, and once in a while, a theory or two is provable. That has got to be very satisfying. Is it such a stretch to theorize that a brilliant mind created matter and the forces that are at work in the cosmos? I wonder why do some scientists get so angry when a person expresses belief in God? So, we’re all so supposed to be fascinated with all the wild imaginations of physicists and scientists (and all the big fancy words they use to confuse us) but not of those things that are spiritual. It makes sense to the snobby scientists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Durand. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/180145/bk_acx0_180145_sample.mp3.
