Mein Chefredakteur hatte wirklich einen seltsamen Humor. Denn an Bord befanden sich nicht nur abenteuerlustige Touristen. Tief unten – in den Lagerräumen – da erwachte ein Wesen aus längst vergessenen Tagen. Ein mächtiger Dämon. Und er lechzte nach Blut – nach Tod und Vernichtung.

There have been numerous books examining the 2008 financial crisis from either a US or European perspective. Tamim Bayoumi is the first to explain how the Euro crisis and US housing crash were, in fact, parasitically intertwined. Starting in the 1980s, Bayoumi outlines the cumulative policy errors that undermined the stability of both the European and US financial sectors, highlighting the catalytic role played by European mega banks that exploited lax regulation to expand into the US market and financed unsustainable bubbles on both continents.

In 1974, Pan American Flight 806 was hoping to land safely in Pago Pago, Samoa, but instead plummeted at 140 miles per hour into the jungle floor. The 101 passengers and crew members all survived this devastating crash. Unfortunately, only four of them escaped the wreckage before the ensuing fire that followed and lived to tell their story. After the disaster, Pan American was found guilty of "willful misconduct" after the longest and most expensive trial in aviation history.

Negotiations between the United States and the Taliban led to the 2020 Doha Agreement, which intended to end the American presence in the country and bring peace.

After the Taliban took control of Kabul and declared victory, the next two weeks saw an increasingly chaotic non-combatant evacuation operation.

A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet.

After the unprecedented events of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be hard to imagine a time not so long ago when deadly diseases were a routine part of life. It is harder still to fathom that the best medical thinking at that time blamed these diseases on noxious miasmas, bodily humors, and divine dyspepsia. This all began to change on a day in April 1676, when a little-known Dutch merchant described bacteria for the first time. Ending Epidemics explains how we came to understand and prevent many of our worst infectious diseases—and double average life expectancy.

Der Mann vor dem Fernseher verzog seinen Mund zu einem grausamen Lächeln. Dann griff er nach einer Schale mit goldenen Nadeln, nahm eine heraus und stach sie tief in die Stirn einer vor ihm liegenden Puppe. Die zweite Nadel senkte er in die linke Brusthälfte der Figur, in die Herzgegend. "Durch die Nadel in deinem Herzen stelle ich die Verbindung mit dir her, Derrick Avondale", sprach der Mann in singendem Tonfall weiter.
