A pathbreaking neuroscientist reveals how our social instincts turn Me into Us, but turn Us against Them - and what we can do about it. The great dilemma of our shrinking world is simple: never before have those we disagree with been so present in our lives. The more globalization dissolves national borders, the more clearly we see that human beings are deeply divided on moral lines - about everything from tax codes to sexual practices to energy consumption - and that, when we really disagree, our emotions turn positively tribal.

This second volume begins with the picture of the "glory" of this new dynastic-tribal alliance of European monarchs and their fired-up nationalist people, armed with massive industrial might enabling them to take over massive portions of the rest of the world (Asia and Africa).

In seinem brillanten neuen Hörbuch nimmt Bestsellerautor Christopher Clark uns mit auf eine Zeitreise ins frühe 19. Jahrhundert und in eine Welt voller Intrigen und Verrat, die zwei lutherischen Predigern in Königsberg zum Verhängnis wurde: Königsberg, die ehemalige Hauptstadt der preußischen Provinz Ostpreußen, galt schon immer als eher verschlafener Ort, bekannt vor allem als einstige Residenz von Immanuel Kant. Doch in den späten 1830er-Jahren war das Städtchen plötzlich in aller Munde – allerdings aus den falschen Gründen.

In 1972, America was completing its withdrawal from the long and divisive war in Vietnam. Air power covered the departure of ground forces, and search and rescue teams from all services and Air America covered the airmen and soldiers still in the fight. Day and night these military and civilian aircrews stood alert to respond to "Mayday" calls. The rescue forces were the answer to every man's prayer, and those forces brought home airmen, sailors, marines, and soldiers downed or trapped across the breadth and depth of the entire Southeast Asia theater.
