War Russlands Überfall auf die Ukraine nur der Anfang? Kommt bald der noch größere Krieg? Ein Krieg zwischen den beiden Supermächten unserer Zeit? Ein Krieg zwischen China und den USA? Ein Krieg, der sich an Taiwan entzündet? Wie können wir verhindern, dass die politischen Führungen dieser Welt als "Traumwandler" in den dritten Weltkrieg schlittern, und sich die düsteren Voraussagen zu selbsterfüllenden Prophezeiungen entwickeln?

Eines Tages hört die Erde auf, sich zu drehen. Naturkatastrophen, Panik und Dunkelheit sind die Folge. Als man erkennt, dass die Ursache im Verlöschen der Sonne liegt, ist es bereits zu spät. Und so schmieden die Menschen einen waghalsigen Plan: Sie wollen die Erde mit gewaltigen Triebwerken aus der Umlaufbahn lösen, um einen neuen Heimatstern zu suchen... In der titelgebenden Geschichte sowie in zehn weiteren packenden Stories beweist Cixin Liu, dass er der neue Meister der Zukunftsliteratur ist. Spannend gelesen von Mark Bremer, der deutschen Stimme von Cixin Liu.

When Ye Pei dreamed of Venice as a girl, she imagined a magical floating city of canals and gondola rides. And she imagined her mother, successful in her new life and eager to embrace the daughter she had never forgotten. But when Ye Pei arrives in Italy, she learns her mother works on a farm far from the city. Her only connection, a mean-spirited Chinese auntie, puts Ye Pei to work in a small-town café. Rather than giving up and returning to China, a determined Ye Pei takes on a grueling schedule.

1941. A Marsiglia nel caos della guerra, l'ingegnere americano e discepolo occulto Jack Parsons cerca di catturare e incanalare il potere immaginativo dei surrealisti, al fine di sconfiggere il Reich. Il suo esperimento cambierà il corso della guerra - e il volto della città - per sempre. 1950. Il surrealista Thibaut, cammina per le vie di una nuova e allucinogena Parigi, dove i nazisti e la Resistenza sono intrappolati in un conflitto senza fine, e dove le strade sono infestate da immagini e testi viventi - e dalle forze dell'inferno.

China ist keine ferne Bedrohung mehr, China ist da! Politisch und wirtschaftlich. Das Reich der Mitte ist ehrgeizig, schnell und gut organisiert, es ist innovativ wie das Silicon Valley und bestimmt zunehmend die internationalen Spielregeln. China setzt auf Wachstum und digitale Technologien und hält sich nicht mit dem westlichen Demokratiemodell auf. Auf allen Kontinenten investiert es in Bodenschätze, Schlüsselindustrien und Infrastruktur - auch bei uns.

The United States is currently engaged in a competition with the Chinese government unlike any other that we have witnessed before. This is a competition between the American system - which is governed by freedom and the rule of law - and a totalitarian dictatorship that is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. It is possible for America to respond to the Chinese Communist Party's efforts, but doing so will require new thinking, many big changes, and many hard choices for our leaders in government and private sector.

Not since the modern liberal order was born in the 1940s has the world had to grapple with the possibility of its demise, at the hand of a rising China. Just at a time when the world is in need of the stability and governance it has had the luxury of relying upon for decades, it must contemplate transitioning to a world order not of the West’s choosing. If the era of US hegemony is coming to an end, will the global institutions it was so instrumental in creating become less relevant and forceful with time?

A fascist administration rounds up undesirables. Terrorist groups strike governmental and religious targets. The constitution is under assault. Erec Stebbins’s China Girl is a controversial look at an America that is all too close to reality, radioactive in its timely examination of extremism in the nation.

Bienvenidos a la historia de dos ciudades gemelas, invisibles la una para la otra, cuyos destinos se entrelazan por el asesinato de la joven Mahalia Geary, hallada muerta y con la cara desfigurada en la ciudad de Beszel. Durante la investigación del crimen, el inspector Borlú seguirá las piras desde Beszel hasta la idéntica ciudad vecina, UI Qoma.

Awakening to China's Rise provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how Europe's major powers have responded to the re-emergence of China as a great power in world politics since the end of the Cold War. To do so, it puts forward a unique cross-regional comparison of how the major European powers (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) have confronted Chinese assertiveness both in the Asia-Pacific and in Europe.

Nach 40 Jahren enthüllt die chinesische Regierung ihre unglaubliche Entdeckung. Die Reptilien-Expertin CJ Cameron wird nach China eingeladen.

In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China.

Based on a review of research literature from sociology, organizational psychology, and behavioral economics, this audiobook develops a theory of consent generation and distinguishes three groups of consent-producing mechanisms: socialization, incentive mechanisms, and participation and interest representation.

Throughout the post-Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sovereign state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet, as Tim Nicholas Rühlig argues in China's Foreign Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese foreign policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies - in combination with China's growing power - will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order.

Haben Sie das Gefühl, die Welt sei aus den Fugen geraten? Sie sind nicht allein - die meisten Menschen haben in den letzten Jahren einen Realitätsschock erlitten: Unser Bild der Welt hat sich oft als kollektive Illusion entpuppt. Wer hätte damit gerechnet, dass Trump die Wahl gewinnt und die Briten für den Brexit stimmen? Dass Hunderttausende nach Europa flüchten und dabei Zehntausende sterben? Dass so viele Demokratien nach rechts kippen? Dass der Klimawandel so schnell spürbar wird und über Nacht eine weltweite Klima-Jugendbewegung entsteht.

Far from the glittering cities of Beijing and Shaghai, China's borderlands are populated by around one hundred million people who are not Han Chinese. For many of these restive minorities, the old Chinese adage "the mountains are high and the Emperor far away", meaning Beijing's grip on power is tenuous and its influence unwelcome, continues to resonate.

In 1973, when Wenguang Huang was eight, his grandmother became obsessed with her own death. Fearing cremation, she appealed to her family to promise to bury her after she'd died. This was in Xi'an, a city in central China, at a time when a national ban on all traditional Chinese practices, including burials, was strictly enforced. But his grandmother was persistent, and two years later, Huang's father built her a coffin. Over the next 15 years, the whole family was consumed with planning Grandma's burial.
