Today, we take for granted that a telescope allows us to see galaxies millions of light years away. But before its invention, people used nothing more than their naked eye to fathom what took place in the visible sky. So how did four men in the 1500s - of different nationality, age, religion, and class - collaborate to discover that the Earth revolved around the Sun? With this radical discovery that went against the Church, they created our contemporary world. Heaven on Earth is an intimate examination of this scientific family.

La philosophie d'Arthur Schopenhauer est sombre, pessimiste, parfois brutale, mais ne s'empêche pas de résonner d'un rire sarcastique. Dans son œuvre majeure, "le Monde comme Volonté et Représentation", Schopenhauer démontre que le libre-arbitre individuel est illusoire, sachant que la seule Volonté qui compte n'est que celle de l'espèce qui tend à se reproduire pour perdurer. Il développe cette position jusqu'au bout dans l'ironique Métaphysique de l'amour, pour en tirer des conclusions souvent hilarantes.

For more than a century, the city of Atlanta has been associated with Black achievement in education, business, politics, media, and music, earning it the nickname "the Black Mecca." Atlanta's long tradition of Black education dates back to Reconstruction, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim Crow, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement, and then took power in the 1970s by building a coalition between White progressives, business interests, and Black Atlantans. But Atlanta's political leadership has consistently mishandled the Black poor.

In Philosophie der Freiheit – Grundzüge einer modernen Weltanschauung (1894) entfaltet Rudolf Steiner seine erkenntnistheoretischen und ethischen Überlegungen zu Individualität, Moral und geistiger Freiheit. Das Werk bildet das philosophische Fundament der Anthroposophie und lädt zu bewusstem, selbstbestimmtem Denken ein. Steiner zeigt, dass wahre Freiheit aus innerer Einsicht und geistiger Aktivität erwächst – nicht als bloße Willkür, sondern als individuelles, verantwortungsvolles Handeln.

Myths are usually seen as stories from the depths of time—fun and fantastical, but no longer believed by anyone. Yet, as Philip Ball shows, we are still writing them—and still living them—today. From Robinson Crusoe and Frankenstein to Batman, many stories written in the past few centuries are commonly, perhaps glibly, called "modern myths." But Ball argues that we should take that idea seriously. Our stories of Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes are doing the kind of cultural work that the ancient myths once did.

Whereas so many 20th-century Spanish histories begin with Franco and the devastating Civil War, Paul Preston's magisterial work begins in the late 19th century with Spain's collapse as a global power, especially reflected in its humiliating defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States and its loss of colonial territory.

Employers are increasingly recruiting their workers into politics to change elections and public policy - sometimes in coercive ways. Using a diverse array of evidence, including national surveys of workers and employers, as well as in-depth interviews with top corporate managers, Alexander Hertel-Fernandez's Politics at Work explains why mobilization of workers has become an appealing corporate political strategy in recent decades.

Ron Hubbards banebrydende bog, der præsenterer hans opdagelse af det reaktive sind, der ligger gemt i menneskets indre og slavebinder det.

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content caused its publication to be delayed. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated. Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion."

Grayling points to three primary factors that led to the rise of vernacular (popular) languages in philosophy, theology, science, and literature.
