A groundbreaking and authoritative examination of Israel by one of the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East today.Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today is at a moment of existential crisis. My Promised Land tells the story of Israel as it has never been told before, and asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? And can Israel survive?Through revealing stories of significant events and lives of ordinary individuals ¿ the youth group leader who recognised the potential of Masada as a powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange grove from his Arab neighbour in the 1920s, and helped to create a booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in developing Israel¿s nuclear program; the religious Zionists who started the settler movement ¿ Israeli journalist Ari Shavit illuminates the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing and uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present.The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today¿s global political landscape.

En tidligere bog om tørvemosen indeholdt autentiske historier om naturen og livets vante gang i og omkring den, på den tid da der endnu blev gravet tørv her. I denne bog er fortællingerne fiktive myter, som ikke kan bevises. Mystiske væsner har til alle tider fascineret menneskeheden og gjort os nysgerrige, men også utrygge og ængstelige. Mosens væsner er bestemt ikke nogen undtagelse. I nærværende bog fortælles om: mosekonen, søuhyrer/monsterål, lygtemænd, sumpmanden, kummermanden, mosehekse, mosetrolde, moserøvere, mosens troldmænd og -kvinder, elverkongen, hans elverpiger og deres ammer, slattenpatterne – og sågar om nissens venskab med mosetrolden og meget mere. Der fortælles om væsnernes mange intriger med mennesker, men også om bemærkelsesværdige, finurlige alliancer, når de to parter har fælles interesser. Historierne er fiktion, men konkrete fund, reelle steder, historiske facts og autentiske hændelser gør, at handlingerne virker mere sandsynlige og endnu mere interessante. Uddrag af bogen Endskønt den forklædte mosekone er meget nysgerrig, så holder hun sig klogelig nok på sikker afstand. Hun skal ikke nyde noget af at have noget praktisk at gøre med udgravningen eller være i nærheden, når kilden for første gang springer. Men inde fra huset venter hun i åndeløs spænding på, at bunden er nået, mens hun intenst lytter til gravearbejdet. Pludselig lyder et højlydt skvulp i søen, og vandet samt deri svømmende fisk og frøer sprøjter op til alle sider. Straks efter farves vandet rødt af blod og Karl Gravers krop kommer op til overfladen i hoved- og lemmeløs tilstand. Efter episoden syder og bobler det endnu en tid i søen og ingen tør længere søge efter den store guldskat. Om forfatteren Jens S. Holt er opvokset i grænselandet et stykke nord for den dansk-tyske grænse. Oprindelig er han handelsuddannet inden for trælastbranchen, men har herefter i godt 30 år arbejdet i finanssektoren som især it- og systemansvarlig. Han har tidligere udgivet flere bøger både for børn og for voksne.

"e;My eyes have never seen anything better than you. No woman has ever given birth to anyone as beautiful as you. You were created free from all flaws. As if you were created exactly as you wished. - Hassan Ibn Thabit (RA)Allah has never sent a Prophet except that Prophet had a beautiful face and a beautiful voice.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be in the presence of Prophet Muhammad i , as his companions were? What would it be like to see him, to host him in your home, pray behind him, and have him as a teacher and friend?Through 30 beautifully detailed chapters with narrations from companions, take a journey from only knowing about him to knowing him and loving him and feel what it was like to be a companion of his in this life and strive to be companions of his in the next.

De dansksindede sønderjyders førstemand H. P. Hanssen var arkitekten bag Sønderjyllands genforening med Danmark i 1920. Allerede under 1. Verdenskrig satte han de første streger til en ny grænse, og han tegnede den bærende konstruktion for Genforeningen: folkeafstemningen i to zoner. H. P. Hanssen blev også hovedperson i den bitre grænsestrid, og det kostede dyrt. Han blev afskediget som minister og trængt til side under genforeningsfestlighederne. Men hans grænsepolitik sejrede og lagde fundamentet til nutidens fredelige forhold mellem danskere og tyskere. Bogen er andet bind i Hans Schultz Hansens biografi om H.P. Hanssen. Bind 1 er ”De danske sønderjyders førstemand”.

The Dolomites, a range of mountains in the Southern Alps, are widely celebrated for their bizarre rock formations, light colour hues, and pristine nature. It is no coincidence that UNESCO declared the Pale Mountains a World Heritage Site and that, every single year, they attract tourists and nature enthusiasts from all around the globe. This enchanting mountain landscape, which is oftentimes cool and forbidding, has left an indelible mark on its inhabitants. Their veritable treasure trove of myths, legends and mystery stories is an integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the Dolomites: the older generation has always passed down this heritage to a wide-eyed audience comprised of both the young and the young-at-heart.This compilation by Karl Felix Wolff (1879-1966), probably the most prominent regional writer-explorer of legends, contains well-known tales like "King Laurin and the Alp-Glow" and "The Kingdom of the Fanes" in addition to lesser known stories such as "The Nightingale of the Sasslong", "Iron Hand" and "Merisana's Wedding". This book is a unique collection of legends that will shed a new and mystic light on your perspective of the Dolomites.

Birgitte Possing stiller skarpt på en ofte overset befolkningsgruppe, som trods sine hårde vilkår og lave status har spillet en stor rolle i danmarkshistorien. I slutningen af 1800-tallet var mange kvinder nødt til at komme ud på arbejdsmarkedet for at tjene til familien, men i modsætning til mændene blev de nødt til at justere arbejdet efter familiesituationen – at justere produktionen i forhold til reproduktionen, så at sige.De kvinder, hvis rettigheder og vilkår Birgitte Possing undersøger, var tjenestepiger, prostituerede, hjemmearbejdersker, fabriksarbejdersker, vaske-, rengørings- og aviskoner, gadesælgersker og tøjrullersker. Birgitte Possing gør op med mange myter og fordomme omkring arbejderkvinderne og påpeger blandt andet, hvordan den socialdemokratiske arbejderbevægelse, der gjorde så meget godt for arbejderne, var indrettet efter de mandlige arbejderes liv og behov – ikke kvindernes.Birgitte Possing (f. 1952) er cand.mag. i historie og etnografi og har i flere år arbejdet med kvindehistorie og –teori ved Historisk Institut i Århus. I 1980 udgav hun bogen "Arbejderkvinder og kvindearbejde i København ca. 1879-1906".

An essential book for anyone interested in the role of the media in development.
