br. «Mi è ben chiaro come la teologia e la fisica quantistica agiscano su piani diversi: le scienze naturali spiegano l'origine e l'essenza della natura, e alla natura appartiene anche il nostro cervello, che è in grado di pensare; la teologia cerca invece risposte alle domande sul senso e sullo scopo dell'esistenza umana. Tuttavia, i due piani, quello della scienza e quello della teologia, si toccano. La storia della teologia mostra con chiarezza che tutti i teologi hanno sempre sviluppato il proprio pensiero in un dialogo con la filosofia e con la scienza della loro epoca, studiando la natura e trasferendo la propria concezione del mondo nella teologia. Anche ai nostri giorni la teologia può essere affrontata in maniera responsabile soltanto se in aperto dialogo con la filosofia, la psicologia e la scienza contemporanee.» (Anselm Grün)

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In English and Turkish. 224 p., ills. How do you suppose the Dardanelles front, one of the most important fronts in Turkish history, echoed in a world without radio, television or internet? The fight did not stay only in the land, sea and air; there were deep battles in the writings of the press and in the drawings and art of print media. This book is the culmination of ten years of work to assemble more than eight hundred of the thousands of cartoons, propaganda posters, illustrations and postcards about the battle of the Dardanelles from the world press describing Turkey. What do you say to examining the battle on the media front between the Allied and Central powers through the lens of the visual riches that were published by the press elements and newspapers of that time period? The weapons of this battle are pens sharper than swords, as well as photographs, cartoons, illustrations, propoganda posters and postcards more effective than the bullets in place of which they are used!

274p. Illustrated. Tall 8vo. Harcover. Very Good+. The first edition of this interesting account of a little known Civil War engagement before Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's Confederate cavalry, was riding north to get around the Union army. It met and attacked a Federal cavalry regiment, driving it through the streets of Hanover. Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth's brigade arrived and counterattacked, routing the Confederate vanguard and nearly capturing Stuart himself. Stuart soon counterattacked. Reinforced by Brig. Gen. George A. Custer's Michigan Brigade, Farnsworth held his ground, and a stalemate ensued. Stuart was forced to continue north and east to get around the Union cavalry, further delaying his attempt to rejoin Robert E. Lee's army, which was then concentrating west of Gettysburg. Most of the text was developed from the history by George R. Prowell. PA 33

ill., br. La supremazia dell'Occidente è ormai da secoli un fatto indiscutibile. Ma a cosa è dovuta? Nel tempo sono stati evocati diversi fattori: razziali, tecnologici, di organizzazione economica, politica, morale... Hanson mette insieme tutto questo ma offre anche una sua provocatoria spiegazione: gli occidentali hanno vinto perché sono più bravi a uccidere. Focalizzandosi sull'aspetto militare della civiltà occidentale, Hanson vede nella guerra un momento privilegiato per studiare il carattere di una società. E se un ruolo importante nel costruire la supremazia bellica dell'Occidente lo hanno certo giocato le tecnologie più avanzate e le tattiche più efficaci, ¡1 fattore cruciale è stato di natura culturale: gli eserciti delle «democrazie in armi», basati su disciplina e organizzazione, ma anche sulla libertà individuale del cittadino, sulla discussione e sull'inventiva, si sono rivelati più efficaci anche contro armate imponenti di semplici «sudditi» come è accaduto per gli antichi Greci contro gli Imperi orientali. Per indagare le ragioni e i modi di questa millenaria vicenda, Hanson racconta con verve nove celebri battaglie, ciascuna esemplificativa di un particolare aspetto della «guerra occidentale», da quella di Salamina nel 480 a.C. all'offensiva del Tet nel 1968, passando per la conquista del Messico da parte di Cortes e le Midway, fino a giungere ai giorni nostri e a gettare uno sguardo sul nostro futuro.
