Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

Hundreds of thousands of Kurds were murdered under the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein. Some four thousand Kurdish villages were destroyed. Betrayed again and again by the nations of the world, the Kurds were as decimated as any people in history. Then came the Kurdish Miracle, that combination of ancient wisdom and modern economic genius that is now making the Kurdish homeland one of the most prosperous places on earth.

Eine Expedition in die Tiefen des Unfassbaren: In Bis zum Nullpunkt des Seins , einer visionären Erzählung von Kurd Laßwitz – dem „Vater der deutschen Science-Fiction" – begibst du dich auf eine Reise, bei der Zeit, Raum und Realität ihre gewohnten Grenzen verlieren. Zwischen philosophischen Gedankenspielen und atemberaubender Fantasie lotet Laßwitz die letzten Fragen der Existenz aus: Was bleibt, wenn alles verschwindet?

Eine Ameise beobachtet unsere Zivilisation, unsere Erfindungen – und unsere Widersprüche. In ihrer Welt sind Organisation, Fleiß und Ordnung selbstverständlich – was also soll das Chaos da draußen? Benjamin Werner bringt diese charmant-satirische Erzählung mit feinem Gespür für Humor und Nachdenklichkeit zum Leben.

We spent two weeks in Iraqi Kurdistan in order to gain a better understanding of ISIS and the war against it. Our research involved interviewing Kurdish security officials, peshmerga commanders, intelligence officers, and Kurdish prisoners who had joined ISIS. We learned more about the conditions that take someone away from his or her home, family, and friends to the so-called caliphate.

Sie soll die „überflüssigste Frage der Welt" finden, um heiraten zu dürfen. Ein humorvolles und tiefgründiges Märchen über Fragen, die keine Antworten brauchen.

In dieser Geschichte wird die Frage aufgeworfen: Was, wenn wir unsere Gedanken direkt übertragen könnten? Tauche ein in Kurd Laßwitz' visionäre Erzählung Der Gehirnspiegel, die 1904 erstmals erschien. Ein faszinierender Blick in die Zukunft der Kommunikation – spannend und zum Nachdenken anregend.

In Der Traumfabrikant (1886) entwirft Kurd Laßwitz eine Zukunft, in der die Menschheit ihre Nahrungsaufnahme durch Schlaf ersetzt – eine brillante satirische Vision über den menschlichen Drang nach Effizienz und die Folgen von Überarbeitung.

Any U.S. policy toward the Kurds must contemplate the wide-ranging implications of Kurdish autonomy rather than simply viewing the group as an instrument in the fight against ISIS.

In this urgent and timely book, Patrick Cockburn writes the first draft of the history of the current crisis in the Middle East. Here he charts the period from the recapture of Mosul in 2017 to Turkey's attack on Kurdish territory in November 2019, and recounts the new phase in the wars of disintegration that have plagued the region. The ground battle with the caliphate is perhaps over, but was this the end of the conflict that has scarred these nations for decades?
