        Ein angesehener Privatbankier wird erpresst. In einem Luxushotel wird ein Escort-Girl brutal ermordet und die Vereinten Nationen sind Ziel eines Anschlagplans islamistischer Terrorristen.    In dem ersten Teil der Thriller-Trilogie »Geneva Girl – Todesursache unbekannt« geht es um Schwarzgeld, Mord und Terrorgefahr in einer der teuersten Städte der Welt: Genf. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht eine deutsche Praktikantin bei den Vereinten Nationen, die an Angststörungen und Klaustrophobie leidet, und zwischen die Fronten von Geheimdienst und Diplomatie gerät. Es handelt sich um eine brisante Mischung aus Psycho- und Politthriller. Die Idee zu dem Roman lieferte der nie aufgeklärte Tod des ehemaligen Ministerpräsidenten von Schleswig-Holstein Uwe Barschel im Genfer Hotel Beau-Rivage.

        Potential Invasive Pests of Agricultural Crops

        by Jose Romeno Faleiro, Alvaro Castañeda Vildózola, Robert A Haack, Crebio Avila, Jose Roberto Parra, Mark S Hoddle, Alberto Urbaneja, Ana E Diaz Montilla, Juli Gould, Andrea Birke, Aldo Malavasi, V J Satarkar, Raymond J Gagne, Juliet Goldsmith, J.

Edited by Jorge E Peña.

        Invasive arthropods cause significant damage in agricultural crops and natural environments across the globe. Potentially threatened regions need to be prepared to prevent new pests from becoming established. Therefore, information on pest identity, host range, geographical distribution, biology, tools for detection and identification are all essential to researchers and regulatory personnel. This book focuses on the most recent invasive pests of agricultural crops in temperate subtropical and tropical areas and on potential invaders, discussing their spread, biology and control.

        The End of the Past

        Ancient Rome and the Modern West

        by Aldo Schiavone

        This searching interpretation of past and present addresses fundamental questions about the fall of the Roman Empire. Why did ancient culture, once so strong and rich, come to an end? Was it destroyed by weaknesses inherent in its nature? Or were mistakes made that could have been avoided—was there a point at which Greco-Roman society took a wrong turn? And in what ways is modern society different? Western history is split into two discontinuous eras, Aldo Schiavone tells us: the ancient world was fundamentally different from the modern one. He locates the essential difference in a series of economic factors: a slave-based economy, relative lack of mechanization and technology, the dominance of agriculture over urban industry. Also crucial are aspects of the ancient mentality: disdain for manual work, a preference for transcending (rather than transforming) nature, a basic belief in the permanence of limits. Schiavone’s lively and provocative examination of the ancient world, “the eternal theater of history and power,” offers a stimulating opportunity to view modern society in light of the experience of antiquity.

        Progress

        by Aldo Schiavone

        The twentieth century saw a faster and more radical transformation of the material and cultural conditions of life than any previous century in the history of the human species. It was also the first century that saw huge masses of women and men in every part of the planet become protagonists of their own destiny. But it was also the century which, particularly in its last two decades – with an increasing tendency, transmitted with even greater force to the following century – saw the crumbling of the idea that human history had a meaning and a direction, and that it had a general tendency to improve from generation to generation. That is to say, it destroyed the idea of progress, hitherto a banner of modernity (the ancient world had never conceived of anything similar, being imprisoned in a closed and limited representation of time and historicity). And this at the very time when it should have been celebrating its triumph. How was it possible for this to happen? What lies behind this seeming paradox? And what does it tell us about the difficulty of the period through which we are passing? What future does it suggest? This book tries to answer these questions by standing at the crossroads between different disciplines, in a perspective of the social history of ideas: philosophy, science, politics, anthropology, material culture. But it is also intended as a modest suggestion that may help us rediscover a sense of our history – one that is not linearly optimistic or providentialistic, but still conscious of the extraordinary potential of the human species, at this point in its development.

        Pontius Pilate

        Deciphering a Memory

        by Aldo Schiavone

        The biography of Pontius Pilate is the crucial dramatic point of intersection between Christian memory as preserved in the Gospels, Jewish history and Roman imperial history. It includes an episode of unparalleled importance in the history of the West – the death of Jesus. Pilate is the only historical figure whom Christian tradition records as having had a long dialogue with Jesus. He appears to have uttered and listened to words, made and witnessed gestures, that have accompanied us for two thousand years. Who was he really? A despot? An accomplice? A bungler? Why do the Gospels flood his figure in a light that blurs its outlines, making all his features ambiguous and elusive? What are they trying to hide? The book approaches the theme as if for the first time. It does not ignore the huge mass of previous studies, but filters and reworks them in a reconstruction that sets out simply to describe and explain what might have happened. In so doing, however, it offers a surprising solution to an enigma.

        Diario de un olvidista (Diary of a forgetful person)

        by Paolo Pagliai

        Diary of a Forgetful Man shows us 1978, the year in which the Italian Red Brigades kidnapped the Christian Democrat leader Aldo Moro. Those were fateful days for the Italian nation: Pope Paul VI implored, the UN and countless other actors were on tenterhooks as letters from Aldo Moro and communiqués from the Brigades appeared. The country was discussing the end, the means. And there were other underlying questions: what is the intimacy of the debate? Are the actions premeditated, do they govern themselves? Can a movement be transformed, who transforms it? These are, precisely, the latent questions here. This novel, based on Moro's letters, creates a post-revolutionary (perhaps Mexican) reality to pose the transformation of a utopia. The moral crossroads of those who defend or attack it are probably the same.
