Die letzten 3,8
Milliarden Jahre lang war die Geschichte des Lebens ein wilder Ritt.
Eine absurde Abfolge aus Scheitern, Neustart, Innovation und
gefährlichen Kipp-Punkten. Alles immer in einem Spannungsfeld
zwischen »hausgemachten« geologischen Prozessen, tödlichen
Bedrohungen aus dem All und den durchs Leben selbst ausgelösten
Kaskaden an positiven oder negativen Feedback-Mechanismen.
Überraschend oft
hat die Erde ihr Aussehen grundlegend verändert. Sie hatte schwarze
und violette Phasen, verwandelte sich in einen riesigen Schneeball
und wurde zum tödlichen Wüstenplanet. Die wahren Herrscher in
diesem Spiel: Mikroben! Sie haben die frühe Atmosphäre vernichtet,
die Meere für Milliarden von Jahren wie mit Leichentüchern verhüllt
und sogar Eiszeiten ausgelöst. Zugleich schufen sie die Grundlagen
für die Entwicklung des höheren Lebens.
Bücher über die
Geschichte der Erde und über die Evolution des Lebens gibt es viele,
doch noch in keinem wurde so kompakt und umfassend hinter die
Kulissen des »Systems Erde« geblickt. Dabei vermittelt das Buch das
nötige Rüstzeug, um sich auch mit möglichen Zukunftsszenarien des
Planeten zu beschäftigen. Werden die Korallenriffe im sauren
Meerwasser zugrunde gehen, weil sich das CO² der Atmosphäre wie vor
250 Millionen Jahren im Wasser löst? Oder wird das Methan der
Kontinentalhänge schmelzen und wie vor 56 Millionen Jahren ein
geologisch kurzes, aber für die Biosphäre verheerendes
Supertreibhaus auslösen?
Nach der Lektüre
des Buches ist klar, seit wann es Schönheit gibt und warum Kühe zu
Zwergen werden können!

BCE) / Одриската династия в периода на македонската хегемония в Тракия и борбата на елинистическите владетели за тракийското наследствоSofia 2025ISBN 978-619-7602-82-1450 S./pp., zahlr. S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverbulgarisch mit englischer Zusammenfassung /bulgarian with english summaryThe object of the study is the Odrysian dynasty, and the subject is the processes that took place in it (including its historical development) in the period from the middle of the 4th to the middle of the 2nd century BCE. The main focus is placed on the state and development of the dynastic house of the Odrysians in the period of the Macedonian hegemony in Thrace and the subsequent era of aspirations toward the Thracian lands by the Hellenistic states – an era that ended with the beginning of the establishment of the military-political presence of the Roman Republic over the territory of the Balkan Peninsula.

The first two volumes of the three-part
scholarly edition on the Victory Monument of Actium at Nicopolis
highlight a monumental complex of fundamental importance for
understanding early Roman imperial ideology and architecture. Erected by
Octavian Augustus on the sacred hill of Apollo, the monument stands as a
tangible expression of his victory at the Battle of Actium (31 B.C.E.)
and of the profound political transformation that followed – the transition from the Roman Republic to the Principate, the new regime named after the title princeps, which would define Roman rule for centuries.
Comprising 14 chapters and contributions
by leading experts across disciplines, this two-volume work offers a
comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to the monument. As one of the
first architectural projects of the Augustan era, combining the
character of a victory tropaeum with that of a sacred cult site, the
monument embodies the emerging imperial ideology and the consolidation
of Augustus’ authority across three continents.
This is a landmark publication of
international relevance, addressed to the global scholarly community in
archaeology, history, classical and humanistic studies, offering crucial
insights into the transition to a new imperial world order.

This study refers to the British, Americans, and Irish who traveled
to Greece and visited the sacred island of Delos, the birthplace of
Apollo and Artemis, as well as the island of Mykonos. It focuses on
fifty-seven American, British, and Irish travelers who visited the
Greek islands of the Archipelago over the course of four centuries
(16th-19th), documenting their experiences and observations on the
islands of Mykonos, Delos, and Renia.
Upon returning to
their homelands, they published their diaries or the letters they
sent to friends or relatives, thus giving us the opportunity to learn
about the life, customs, and economic conditions of the inhabitants
of Mykonos, the fate of the antiquities of Delos, and the prehistoric
relics of Renia during the years 1600 to 1900 A.D.
