Free Download Klaudia Köhn, "Der brave Soldat Švejk im Nahen Osten: Entscheidungsprozesse in der Tschechischen Republik zum Irak-Krieg 2003"
Deutsch | 2019 | pages: 342 | ISBN: 3658277866 | PDF | 8,5 mb
Klaudia Köhn untersucht, welche Rolle die Tschechische Republik im Irak-Konflikt 2003 spielte und erläutert, was das Švejk’sche Rätsel ist: Wenn einerseits eine ABC-Waffen-Abwehreinheit in Kuwait, Überflugrechte für US-amerikanische B-52-Bomber und ein Feldlazarett im Südirak bewilligt wurden, andererseits das tschechische Militär aber offiziell keine Truppen für die Kampfhandlungen bereitstellte. Die Autorin zeigt auf, mit welcher eindeutigen Uneindeutigkeit sich die tschechische Außenpolitik darstellt. Welche Erklärungen gibt es für die taktisch kluge Sicherheits-Strategie eines kleinen mittelosteuropäischen Landes, um weder die EU noch die USA zu brüskieren? Eine Švejk’sche Außenpolitik.

Free Download Brave Genius: A Scientist, a Philosopher, and Their Daring Adventures from the French Resistance to the Nobel Prize By Sean B. Carroll
2013 | 576 Pages | ISBN: 0307952339 | EPUB | 6 MB
The never-before-told account of the intersection ofsome of the most insightful minds of the 20th century, and a fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius.In the spring of 1940, the aspiring but unknown writer Albert Camus and budding scientist Jacques Monod were quietly pursuing ordinary, separate lives in Paris. After the German invasion and occupation of France, each joined the Resistance to help liberate the country from the Nazis, ascended to prominent, dangerous roles, and were very lucky to survive. After the war and through twists of circumstance, they became friends, and through their passionate determination and rare talent they emerged as leading voices of modern literature and biology, each receiving the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth century and then blossomed into extraordinarily creative and engaged individuals. It is a story of the transformation of ordinary lives into exceptional lives by extraordinary events–of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, the flowering of creative genius, deep friendship, and of profound concern for and insight into the human condition.

Author: Africa Brooke
Narrator: Africa Brooke
In our deeply divided, binary world, honest discussion is stressful for all sides. Entrepreneur and thought leader Africa Brooke charts a path for understanding in this groundbreaking guide for finding common ground. In this manifesto, Africa teaches us how to return to critical thinking and reduce societal divides by opening our minds and being more self-questioning in difficult discussions. This book will help you figure out what you truly believe-as opposed to parroting or having knee-jerk reactions in conversation. You’ll learn to share your views, hear theirs, make a point you feel must be made, and try to find common ground without self-censorship or self-sabotage. This personal guide helps listeners move away from rigid thinking, allowing them to enter any potentially difficult discussion about politics, work, personal responsibility, race, sex, gender, religion-whatever the subject-while maintaining integrity, authenticity, and openness, and successfully expressing opinions while listening to contrary points of view.
