In zwölf Kapiteln schildert er Monat für Monat, wie das Leben im 12. Jahrhundert organisiert war – auf dem Land wie in den neu entstehenden Städten, im Kloster wie auf der Burg, zwischen Mann und Frau, zwischen Lehnsherr und Bauer, im Gerichtswesen wie auf Reisen. Eine spannend erzählte Zeitreise und Alltagsgeschichte mit überraschenden Einblicken in eine Epoche, die fern und exotisch erscheint, aber in vielen Aspekten auch ein bleibender Teil unserer Geschichte ist.

Au cœur de l'enfer, cinquante-neuf prisonniers ont réussi l'impensable. Ils ont franchi les barbelés, trompé les miradors, défié les SS — et, parfois seulement pour quelques jours, retrouvé le goût de la liberté. Polonais, Juifs, Soviétiques, Tchèques ou Slovaques : tous ont un point commun. Ils ont refusé de mourir sans lutter.

Des grains d'orge des Sumériens aux cryptomonnaies en passant par les assignats révolutionnaires et l'invention du dollar, David McWilliams retrace toute l'histoire de la technologie humaine qui, au même titre que la roue, le feu ou l'intelligence artificielle, a façonné pour toujours les relations entre les hommes et avec la planète. Une véritable histoire de l'humanité vue à travers le prisme de la monnaie, racontée comme un roman d'aventures.

What does it mean to lead with courage, conviction, and faith — in every season of life?

OxyContin didn’t just spark a crisis. It lit the match on a slow-motion national collapse. PURDUE is a brutal, unflinching exposé of the company that built a business model on human pain, addiction, and silence. From the Sackler dynasty’s quiet grip on the pharmaceutical industry to the FDA’s deadly approval stamp, this book pulls no punches. Follow the rise of a white-collar cartel. Witness how addiction became an asset class.

Refusing to practice a religion foreign to your conscience and belief is the very epitome of what it means to be Protestant. When a tyrannical power forbids a people from practicing according to their own religious belief and conscience, and they do so anyway, even if in secret, they are acting in Protest. James A. Wylie brings the principle that is Protestantism nearer in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ to its beginning. We learn in these pages that there were protesters long before the moniker became universally used following the 16th century.

In the autumn of 1890, the wind sweeping across the gorges of Ithaca, New York, carried with it the whispers of a new era. Cornell University, then a young but rapidly ascending institution founded on the principles of egalitarianism and practical education, was becoming a fertile ground for a different kind of tradition. While the university’s founder, Ezra Cornell, had famously declared an intent to found an institution where "any person can find instruction in any study," a group of ambitious seniors sought to create a more exclusive echelon within that democratic framework.

In the spring of 1967, Larry Richards was drafted into the Vietnam War. The conflict was intensifying. Casualties were rising. Twelve months of snipers, ambushes, and Agent Orange awaited. He was 21 years old. In the fall of 1990, Steven Bott was finishing up a day at work when the unthinkable happened. Several weeks later he woke up in a hospital bed with no memory, physically and cognitively crippled.

Follow us on an overnight Investigation at the most haunted castle in Wales. A grand memorial that became a place of sorrow and tragedy. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Irish Sea, its 19 towers rise against the sky like a fairytale fortress—but a dark one, frozen in time. For over two hundred years, Gwrych Castle has been a monument, a home, a refuge, and a ruin. Its very stones have absorbed the echoes of triumph and despair, love and betrayal. But are the stories true? Is the ghost of the lonely Countess still walking these halls?

The history of secret societies is often a tapestry of myth, conjecture, and fragmented records, but few organizations carry the weight of mystery associated with the Sphinx Society. Founded on the principle that ancient architectural wonders were not merely monuments but repositories of pre-diluvian knowledge, the Society has operated in the shadows of academia and theology for centuries. To understand the Sphinx Society, one must first understand the symbol from which it takes its name.

Six Americans refused surrender when Japan captured Guam. Five were executed. One sailor survived 31 months evading the Japanese. December 10, 1941. George Tweed became the longest-surviving American fugitive of World War II, hiding in northern Guam's limestone cliffs. His survival depended on Chamorro families who shared their food, built underground networks, and endured Japanese torture to protect him.

Who were the Nephilim? What dark truths lie behind the Tower of Babel? Could Atlantis have been more than myth? And what do these mysteries reveal about our world today? In Ancient Cities and the gods Who Built Them, Micah Van Huss pulls back the veil on the lost civilizations, fallen angels, and divine conflicts that shaped human history—topics your Sunday school teacher didn’t talk about. Rooted in a solid biblical foundation, this book fearlessly explores the days of Noah, the giants who walked the earth, and the chilling parallels between Scripture and ancient mythology.

When the government recently tried to abandon its responsibility to protect what little remains of the natural prairie, Trevor Herriot pushed back, only to discover an injustice haunting the lands he was trying to defend. In 1938, when the Métis of Ste. Madeleine returned from working away, they found their homes burnt to the ground and their animals shot. The land they held in common was no longer theirs, but was now controlled by the federal government.

The history of the Prophet Mohammad, the development of Islam, implementation of Shariah Law, and views of Quranic interpretations are all presented along with three separate classical translations of the Holy Quran. Put simply, The Quran (Koran) is viewed as an unfolding revelation. Thus, the last statement in the Quran regarding a subject supersedes any statement that came before it. This is called ABROGATION. Thus, we list verses in chronological order and examine the list for the last verses written on a subject to see what instructions are to be followed by Islam today.

Case Red tells the often overlooked story of the fall of Metropolitan France from the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk through to the eventual collapse and armistice in June 1940. Even after the legendary evacuation from Dunkirk in June 1940 there were still large British formations fighting the Germans alongside their French allies. After mounting a vigorous counterattack at Abbeville and then conducting a tough defence along the Somme, the British were forced to conduct a second evacuation from the ports of Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest and St Nazaire.

Newspapers howl. The city takes sides. And at the centre stands Mrs Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore.

Germany one felt the world’s wrath for crimes committed during the Nazi regime. More recently, it received extravagant praise for facing up to the atrocities. The country now boasts of new Jewish museums, Holocaust memorials, restored synagogues, and classroom lessons designed to honor its Jewish heritage and teach tolerance. This effort was led not by politicians or historians, but by local citizen activists, few of them Jewish, almost all of them born after World War II. They could have shrugged off responsibility for evils done before they were born.
