The Great Divide
In 15,000 B.C. early humankind, who had evolved in Africa tens of thousands of years before, and spread out to populate the Earth, arrived in Siberia, during the Ice Age. Because so much water was locked up at that time in the great ice sheets, several miles thick, the levels of the world's oceans were much lower than they are today, and early humans were able to walk across the Bering Strait, then a land bridge, without getting their feet wet, and enter the Americas. Then, the Ice Age came to an end, the Bering Strait re-filled with water, and humans in the Americas were cut off from humans elsewhere in the world. This division - with two great populations on Earth, each oblivious of the other - continued until Christopher Columbus 'discovered' America just before 1500 A.D. This is the fascinating subject of THE GREAT DIVIDE, which compares and contrasts the development of humankind in the 'Old World' and the 'New' between 15,000 B.C. and 1500 A.D. This unprecedented comparison of early peoples means that, when these factors are taken together, they offer a uniquely revealing insight into what it means to be human. THE GREAT DIVIDE offers a masterly and totally original synthesis of archaeology, anthropology, geology, meteorology, cosmology and mythology, to give a new shape - and a new understanding - to human history

Der Pate
Mario Puzo erzählt in dem Roman Der Pate die Geschichte des Gangsterwesens in den USA als opulente Saga einer Familie, die den amerikanischen Traum von Reichtum und Erfolg mit brutaler Gewalt verwirklicht. Inhalt: Die Handlung spielt im New York gegen Ende der 1940er Jahre. Don Vito Corleone, der 1901 als kleiner Junge aus Sizilien allein in die USA eingewandert ist, führt als Pate die mächtigste Mafia-Familie der Stadt. Im Kampf um Millionenprofite aus Schmuggel, Erpressung und Glücksspiel scheut er vor Mord nicht zurück. Nur am »schmutzigen Geschäft« des Drogenhandels, das ihm der Gangster Solozzo vorschlägt, will er nicht teilhaben, um die von ihm bestochenen Politiker und Justizbeamten nicht zu verprellen. Es beginnt ein gnadenloser »Kampf der Familien« um die Macht in der Unterwelt, bei dem Don seinen hitzköpfigen Sohn Sonny verliert. Durch ein Attentat selbst schwer verletzt, alt und müde geworden, übergibt der Pate das Kommando seinem jüngsten Sohn Michael. Nach Don Vitos Herztod rechnet Michael mit den Feinden der Familie ab. Aufbau: Virtuos entfaltet Puzo das Panorama menschlicher Leidenschaften – Intelligenz und Niedertracht, Freundschaft, Treue und Verrat, kleine Gaunereien und Big Business, Geld, Sex und Liebe. Die Charaktere sind klar gezeichnet, die Handlungsstränge spannend und schlüssig aufgebaut. Mit bitterer Ironie schildert Puzo die verlogene Moral der »ehrenwerten Gesellschaft«, die den rücksichtslosen Kampf für ihre Sache (ital.: cosa nostra) mit dem korrupten Justizapparat der Vereinigten Staaten begründet. Der Pate ist Boss einer hoch profitablen Firma, die nach ökonomischen Kriterien aufgebaut ist. Auch Gewalt gehört zu diesem Geschäft. Hier ist für Puzo die Schnittlinie zur »normalen« US-Gesellschaft, die oft nicht danach fragt, wie ein Selfmademan zu Wohlstand und Einfluss gekommen ist. Wirkung: In einer Zeit, als in den USA sogar Polizisten immer noch an der Existenz der Mafia zweifelten, beschrieb Puzo in seinem Roman glaubwürdig und kenntnisreich deren Methoden. Der Pate wurde einer der größten Bestseller der 1960er Jahre. Wie die meisten Kritiker war auch der »Mob« zufrieden, denn Puzo bestätigte dessen Mythos. 1971 wurde der Roman von Francis Ford Coppola verfilmt. Nur der erste Teil des Films bezieht sich auf das Buch. Marlon Brando erhielt für seine grandiose Darstellung des Don Vito Corleone seinen zweiten Oscar. In den beiden anderen »Paten«-Filmen (1974 und 1990) erzählte Puzo als Drehbuchautor die Vita der Corleones weiter bis zum natürlichen Tod des alten Michael Corleone. B. B

Childhood of Jesus
After crossing oceans, a man and a boy arrive in a new land. Here they are each assigned a name and an age, and held in a camp in the desert while they learn Spanish, the language of their new country. As Simon and David they make their way to the relocation centre in the city of Novilla, where officialdom treats them politely but not necessarily helpfully. Simon finds a job in a grain wharf. The work is unfamiliar and backbreaking, but he soon warms to his stevedore comrades, who during breaks conduct philosophical dialogues on the dignity of labour, and generally take him to their hearts. Now he must set about his task of locating the boy's mother. Though like everyone else who arrives in this new country he seems to be washed clean of all traces of memory, he is convinced he will know her when he sees her. And indeed, while walking with the boy in the countryside Simon catches sight of a woman he is certain is the mother, and persuades her to assume the role. David's new mother comes to realise that he is an exceptional child, a bright, dreamy boy with highly unusual ideas about the world. But the school authorities detect a rebellious streak in him and insist he be sent to a special school far away. His mother refuses to yield him up, and it is Simon who must drive the car as the trio flees across the mountains. The Childhood of Jesus is a profound, beautiful and continually surprising novel from a very great writer.

The Iraq War: The Military Offensive, From Victory In 21 Days To The Insurgent Aftermath
The 2003 Iraq war remains among the most mysterious armed conflicts of modernity. In The Iraq War, John Keegan offers a sharp and lucid appraisal of the military campaign, explaining just how the coalition forces defeated an Iraqi army twice its size and addressing such questions as whether Saddam Hussein ever possessed weapons of mass destruction and how it is possible to fight a war that is not, by any conventional measure, a war at all.Drawing on exclusive interviews with Donald Rumsfeld and General Tommy Franks, Keegan retraces the steps that led to the showdown in Iraq, from the highlights of Hussein’s murderous rule to the diplomatic crossfire that preceded the invasion. His account of the combat in the desert is unparalleled in its grasp of strategy and tactics. The result is an urgently needed and up-to-date book that adds immeasurably to our understanding of those twenty-one days of war and their long, uncertain aftermath.

Readers will be inspired by his bumper crop of well-chosen stories about people overcoming their fear and reaching beyond the familiar. People interested in pursuing new ventures will find Molinsky's advice invaluable." -Publishers Weekly "We all have trouble reaching beyond our comfort zone, but this book shows you how.

Reach will take you to the next level, where you really want to be." -Jonah Berger, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious and Invisible Influence "Molinsky's understanding of the power of purpose is spot-on, and his writing style is truly a joy to read. Here is a book that will get you unstuck, help you grow, and ultimately take you to another level. A true standout!" -Olivia Fox Cabane, author of The Charisma Myth "When we need the strength to tackle a stressful situation that takes us beyond our comfort zone, most of the advice we get boils down to bumper stickers like 'Feel the fear and do it anyway.' Fortunately, Andy Molinsky has brought fresh insights from social science to bear on this problem. Reach provides a practical approach to pushing the boundaries while remaining true to our authentic selves." -Matthew Kohut, co-author of Compelling People "We're often encouraged to step outside our comfort zones, but rarely know where to begin.

This smart and compassionate book will guide you to to reach beyond the safety of your own status quo, enabling you to discover and create new possibilities for you in your work and life." -Cathy Salit, CEO, Performance of a Lifetime and Author of Performance Breakthrough: A Radical Approach to Success at Work "In this insightful and highly practical book, Andy Molinsky draws on a wealth of research to identify what stops people from stepping outside their comfort zone and the key practices through which they can overcome those obstacles.
