From the acclaimed historian of global empire, the dramatic story of how steam power reshaped our cities and our seas, and forged a new world order Steam power transformed our world, initiating the complex, resource-devouring industrial system the consequences of which we live with today. It revolutionized work and production, but also the ease and cost of movement over land and water. The result was to throw open vast areas of the world to the rampaging expansion of Europeans and Americans on a scale previously unimaginable. Unlocking the World is the captivating history of the great port cities which emerged as the bridgeheads of this new steam-driven economy, reshaping not just the trade and industry of the regions around them but their culture and politics as well. They were the agents of what we now call 'globalization', but their impact and influence, and the reactions they provoked, were far from predictable. Nor were they immune to the great upheavals in world politics across the 'steam century'. This book is global history at its very best. Packed with fascinating case histories (from New Orleans to Montreal, Bombay to Singapore, Calcutta to Shanghai), individual stories and original ideas, Darwin's book allows us, for better or worse, to see the modern age taking shape. 'A fine, important and original book ... wonderful' Paul Kennedy, Literary Review

Winter blankets the land, and more than just hope has died. Prevented from invading the Fhrey homeland by the tower of Avempartha, the western army seeks a way across the Nidwalden River before the fane obtains the secret of dragons. As time runs out for both humanity and the mystic Suri, the only chance for the living rests with the dead. Having made their fateful choice, can a handful of misfits do the impossible, or are they forever lost to an inescapable grave? Do gods truly exist? Is it possible to know the future? And what lies beyond the veil of death? In the tradition of Virgil's Aeneid, Dante's Divine Comedy, and Milton's Paradise Lost, the most epic of tales transcend the world of the living. It's time to see what lies in Elan's Age of Death. From Michael J. Sullivan (New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post best-selling author), comes the second to the last installment in the epic fantasy series, Legends of the First Empire. The series chronicles a pivotal point in Elan's history when humans rise against the Fhrey who they once saw as gods. Set 3,000 years before the Riyria tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series which is independent of all other Elan stories. That said, if you do listen to the other books, you'll see lies revealed and the truth about historical figures unmasked.

Diese Dissertation nimmt – ausgehend von den Beschlüssen der Kultusministerkonferenz zur Bildung in der digitalen Welt – die Frage in den Blick, was digitale Souveränität im Kontext jugendlicher Lebenswelten bedeutet. Grundlage ist ein qualitativ-empirisches Forschungsdesign, in dessen Rahmen Gruppendiskussionen an Gesamtschulen in Hessen sowie an einem Gymnasium durchgeführt wurden. Die Auswertung erfolgte mit Hilfe der Dokumentarischen Methode. Im Zentrum steht die Analyse der Herstellungsprozesse des Selbst von Jugendlichen in einer postdigitalen Welt: Welche Alltagserfahrungen prägen Jugendliche? Wie beschreiben sie sich selbst? Und welche Bedeutung kommt diesen Erfahrungen für die Herausbildung selbstbestimmten und digital-souveränen Handelns zu? Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung eröffnen neue Perspektiven für die Religionspädagogik. In dem Maße, wie Digitalisierung zum Querschnittsthema religiöser Bildungsprozesse wird, stellt sich die Frage nach der religionspädagogischen Verantwortung neu. Die Studie plädiert für eine techniksensibel-informierte Religionspädagogik in postdigitalen Zeiten. [Self-Concepts of digital natives in a digitalized world. An empirical view in postdigital age] Based on the resolutions of the Conference of Ministers of Education »Bildung in der digitalen Welt«, this dissertation examines the question of what digital sovereignty means in the context of young people's lives. It is based on a qualitative empirical research design, which involved group discussions at comprehensive schools in Hessen. The evaluation was carried out using the documentary method. The focus is on analyzing the processes of self-construction among young people in a post-digital world: What everyday experiences shape young people? How do they describe themselves? What significance do these experiences have for the development of self-determined and digitally sovereign behavior? The results of this research open up new avenues for religious education. In post-digital times, there is a need for technology-sensitive and informed religious education.

The condition of a true strong man in this era, found in the history of 2500 years! This audiobook explores the essential conditions for becoming a true strongman through the examples of countries and leaders who have led the world. Unlike in the past, in the present age, people with strong power and power are not simply called strong people. This book, which says that strong leadership arises from 'tolerance' and 'inclusion through openness', re-examines Korea's closed attitude and suggests a future strategy for the 21st century through the history of the rise and fall of great powers and cool advice from world-class scholars. From Rome, which grew into an ancient hegemon, to Britain, which overcame Spain's invincible fleet and led the British Empire, Mongolia, which conquered the world for 50 years, and the United States, the superpower, the reality of leadership that made a great power in the 2,500-year history is that It is 'plurality'. Looking at the countries that have conquered the world, they acknowledged pluralism and took an open stance than any other neighboring countries. The author emphasizes that the leadership that an individual must possess is not much different from that of the state, and states that it is the condition for a truly strong person to recognize pluralism with an open mind.

'A compelling storyteller, with a striking talent for historical reconstruction' Mary Beard A.D. 165: The empire of Rome has reached its pinnacle. Pax Roma reigns from Britannia to Egypt, from Gaul to Greece. Emperor Marcus Aurelius oversees a golden age and the ancient Pinarius family of artisans embellish the greatest city on Earth with gilded statues and towering marble monuments. But history does not stand still. The years to come bring wars, plagues, fires, and famines. The best emperors in history are succeeded by some of the worst. Barbarians descend, eventually appearing before the gates of Rome itself. Chaos engulfs the empire. Through it all, the Pinarius family endures, thanks in no small part to the fascinum, a protective talisman older than Rome itself, handed down through countless generations. But on the fringes of society, a band of troublesome cultists disseminate dangerous and seditious ideas. They call themselves Christians. Some emperors deal with the Christians with toleration, others with bloody persecution. Then one emperor does the unthinkable. He becomes a Christian himself and the revolution he sets in motion will change the world forever. Spanning 160 years and seven generations, teeming with some of ancient Rome's most vivid figures, Saylor's epic brings to vivid life some of the most tumultuous chapters of human history, events which reverberate still. Praise for Steven Saylor: 'Saylor expertly weaves the true history of Rome with the lives and loves of its fictional citizens.' Daily Express 'Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking and his writing enthrals' Ruth Rendell 'With the scalpel-like deftness of a Hollywood director, Saylor puts his finger on the very essence of Roman history.' Times Literary Supplement 'Readers will find his work wonderfully (and gracefully) researched... this is entertainment of the first order.' Washington Post 'Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking and his writing enthrals' Ruth Rendell 'The most reliably entertaining and well-researched novels about the ancient world [are] Steven Saylor's tales of the Roman proto-detective Gordianus the Finder. The Throne of Caesar brings the series to a satisfying conclusion [and offers] a new, compelling perspective on familiar historic events' Sunday Times

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,8, University of Hannover, language: English, abstract: The Victorian period (1835-1903) describes an important time span in English history in social, political and cultural matters. Terms like ¿splendid isolation¿ (in the field of foreign-policy) or ¿laissez-faire¿ (in the field of economy) and the philosophical theories of Utilitarianism and Intuitivism were fundamental concepts to influence life in the ¿Empire¿ in the second half of the 19th Century. During that time, the Industrial Revolution took place and the parliament was reformed three times (1830s ¿1880s). The Victorian period can be seen as the most glorious time of colonial England (if one thinks of colonialism and imperialism as glorious) but ironically also marks the decay of the ¿Empire¿, which many Englishmen had been so proud of. In the literary world, English Romanticism dominated the early Victorian decades. Later on, Realism and Naturalism became more and more influential and in the 1890s, the New Realism and Aestheticism (including Decadence and Symbolism) took over. One important author of Victorian literature was Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). He achieved tremendous fame and his literary field stretched from newspaper-publications and essay-writing to novel writing and poetry. But the increasingly popular short story was the kind of literature he indulged in the most. It is interesting to see that he went through quite an unusual educational career before he rose to fame: Kipling lived in India (a British Colony until 1950, when it became a federal state of the Commonwealth) and wrote newspaper-stories (so-called ¿turn overs¿). This is unusual, because most of the popular authors of the Victorian Age who came from the bourgeois middle-class, which was very powerful at that time, started out directly in their writing-career in England.. Some of those were Dickens, Stevenson, Thackeray, George Eliot, H. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and Thomas Hardy, who was an architect at first, though. Thus, Kipling¿s seven years of short story writing is comparatively exceptional. As a consequence of this Asian background, Kipling developed a special kind of literature, called Anglo-Indian prose. Of his output of short stories, ¿A Matter of Fact¿ is not the most famous, and in secondary literature about Kipling the story plays a minor role, but it nonetheless explicitly portrays various features of Late-Victorian fiction. It is especially useful for discussing different conceptions of writing in that period.

With the invasion of Dara complete, and the Wall of Storms breached, the world has opened to new possibilities for the gods and peoples of both empires as the sweeping saga of the award-winning Dandelion Dynasty continues in this third book of the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR). Princess Théra, once known as Empress Üna of Dara, entrusted the throne to her younger brother in order to journey to Ukyu-Gondé to war with the Lyucu. She has crossed the fabled Wall of Storms with a fleet of advanced warships and ten thousand people. Beset by adversity, Théra and her most trusted companions attempt to overcome every challenge by doing the most interesting thing. But is not letting the past dictate the present always possible or even desirable? In Dara, the Lyucu leadership as well as the surviving Dandelion Court bristle with rivalries as currents of power surge and ebb and perspectives spin and shift. Here, parents and children, teachers and students, Empress and Pékyu, all nurture the seeds of plans that will take years to bloom. Will tradition yield to new justifications for power? Everywhere, the spirit of innovation dances like dandelion seeds on the wind, and the commoners, the forgotten, the ignored begin to engineer new solutions for a new age. Ken Liu returns to the series that draws from a tradition of the great epics of our history from the Aeneid to the Romance on the Three Kingdoms and builds a new tale unsurpassed in its scope and ambition.

Has there ever been a history of the world as readable as this? In The Human Story, James C. Davis takes us on a journey to ancient times, telling how peoples of the world settled down and founded cities, conquered neighbors, and established religions, and continues over the course of history, when they fought two nearly global wars and journeyed into space. Davis's account is swift and clear, never dull or dry. He lightens it with pungent anecdotes and witty quotes. Although this compact volume may not be hard to pick up, it's definitely hard to put down. For example, on the death of Alexander the Great, who in a decade had never lost a single battle, and who had staked out an empire that spanned the entire Near East and Egypt, Davis writes: "When they heard how ill he was, the king's devoted troops insisted on seeing him. He couldn't speak, but as his soldiers -- every one -- filed by in silence, Alexander's eyes uttered his farewells. He died in June 323 B.C., at the ripe old age of thirty-two." In similar fashion Davis recounts Russia's triumph in the space race as it happened on an autumn night in 1957: "A bugle sounded, flames erupted, and with a roar like rolling thunder, Russia's rocket lifted off. It bore aloft the earth's first artificial satellite, a shiny sphere the size of a basketball. Its name was Sputnik, meaning 'companion' or 'fellow traveler' (through space). The watchers shouted, 'Off. She's off. Our baby's off!' Some danced; others kissed and waved their arms." Though we live in an age of many doubts, James C. Davis thinks we humans are advancing. As The Human Story ends, he concludes, "The world's still cruel; that's understood, / But once was worse. So far so good."
