  • av Stephen M Walt & John J Mearsheimer

    Does America s pro-Israel lobby wield inappropriate control over US foreign policy? This book has created a storm of controversy by bringing out into the open America s relationship with the Israel lobby: a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape foreign policy in a way that is profoundly damaging both to the United States and Israel itself. Israel is an important, valued American ally, yet Mearsheimer and Walt show that, by encouraging unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for Israel and promoting the use of its power to remake the Middle East, the lobby has jeopardized America s and Israel s long-term security and put other countries including Britain at risk.

    The figures and events of classical myths underpin our culture and the constellations named after them fill the night sky. Whether it s the raging Minotaur trapped in the Cretan labyrinth or the twelve labours of Hercules, Aphrodite s birth from the waves or Zeus visiting Danae as a shower of gold, the mythology of Greece and Rome is full of unforgettable stories. All the stories of the Greek tragedies Oedipus, Medea, Antigone are there; all the events of the Trojan wars and of Odysseus and Aeneas epic journeys; the founding of Athens and of Rome These are the strangest tales of love, war, betrayal and heroism ever told and, while brilliantly retelling them, this book shows how they echo through the works of much later writers from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Camus and Ted Hughes. Full of attractive illustrations and laid out in eighteen clear chapters (the titles include Dangerous Women and Heroes ), Dr Jennifer March has written a fascinating guide to the myths of classical civilization that is as readable as a novel.

  • av Various & Ursula (Ed.) Doyle
    147 - 241

    From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve); for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here - as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.

It's a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women - or anywhere in between.Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul, and becoming a woman - at last, there is a clear map of girls' minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling-out of your daughter's potential or uniqueness.All the hazards are signposted - bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps - as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another, as it's so often portrayed.Steve talks to the world's leading voices on girls' needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour and experience through stories that you will never forget. Even the illustrations, by Kimio Kubo, provide unique and moving glimpses into the inner lives of girls.Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With Raising Girls in the 21st Century he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping parents to deal with the modern world, and getting the media off the backs of our daughters.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message.

Böcker om samhället

Ett samhälle är en gemenskap av individer och det förändras mycket genom historien. Samhället vi har levt i har haft många olika faser, vilket har gjort att vårt stora urval har varit en nödvändighet då vi vill ge alla en bok de tycker är spännande. Om du är intresserad av de konkreta samhällen som har funnits genom tiderna kan du hitta böcker om allt från det traditionella, det moderna och det senmoderna samhället till det humanistiska samhället.
Här kan du till exempel läsa om de sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella relationerna mellan befolkningen, eftersom det har varit stora fluktuationer över tiden. Om du till exempel är intresserad av Kväkarna, kan en bok som ”Kväkarnas människosyn” av Henning E. Sandström vara en spännande bok att läsa. En fascinerande berättelse om kväkarna i det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Annars kanske du tycker att boken ”Society without God” av Phil Zuckerman är intressant? Boken behandlar många frågor om hur vårt samhälle kan fungera när Sverige tror mycket mindre på Gud än resten av världen. Vi har en bok för alla.

På Tales.se hittar du därför ett stort urval av svenska och utländska böcker, som ger en inblick i hur historien har påverkat vår värld. Vi har också böcker om den värld vi lever i idag och vilka svåra samhällen människor har varit med om tidigare och naturligtvis vilket inflytande det har haft på oss idag. Så skynda dig att utforska vårt historiska universum och lär dig mer om världens historia.
