    A prophetic and experimental masterpiece by J. G. Ballard, the acclaimed author of Crash and Super-Cannes. This edition features explanatory notes from the author. The irrational, all-pervading violence of the modern world is the subject of this extraordinary tour de force. The central character’s dreams are haunted by images of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, dead astronauts and car-crash victims as he traverses the screaming wastes of nervous breakdown. Seeking his sanity, he casts himself in a number of roles: H-bomber pilot, presidential assassin, crash victim, psychopath. Finally, through the black, perverse magic of violence he transcends his psychic turmoil to find the key to a bizarre new sexuality. J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961. His 1984 best seller Empire of the Sun won the Guardian Fiction Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It was later filmed by Steven Spielberg. His memoir Miracles of Life was published in 2008. J. G. Ballard died in 2009. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Gaminara.

    Fasting is one of the many eating trends that has only taken over the fitness community in the past years. It has been in practice since the ancient times to promote health. Fasting is also the cause of many conservatives rolling their eyes in an attempt to express their disgust toward the atrocity of starving one's self just to look and feel good. Atrocity and starvation - these are emotional and subjective words that put fasting in a very bad light. To put things in the right perspective, allow us to quickly define starvation, and take a trip back in history. Starvation is involuntary. It occurs because there is an absolute absence of food. It's a circumstance the person who is starving cannot control. On the other hand, fasting is a voluntary action. When you choose to fast, you still have control of your circumstance. Therefore, fasting only becomes atrocious when the body is already suffering, but you still choose to continue. This is not what fasting promotes. Apart from weight loss, fasting encourages the formation of an eating pattern that leads to a healthier and fuller life. With the fact that there is still "eating" involved with fasting, comparing it to starvation is the real atrocity. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: A dieting pattern that you can implement right away Breaking the breakfast belief The Warrior Diet 16/8 fasting The science behind intermittent fasting And much, much more! ungekürzt.

    What motivates Islamic terrorists? What's in the mind of terror? News reports cover the tragic events - the bombings, the massacres, and the suicide attacks. Our newscasters take time to explain who the players are - from Hezbollah to the Iranian Quds, from ISIS to the Palestinian National Authority. But what is behind these events that fuels atrocity after atrocity? Tass Saada provides the answer as he delves into the mind of terror, explaining what motivates extremist groups throughout the Middle East. A former Muslim and a onetime sniper with Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization, Tass has had that mind-set himself. But at age 42, he steered his life in a radical new direction. Tass not only describes the motivations and aspirations of those who live in the Middle East, he also outlines a peaceful solution. We can plant seeds of hope that will transform not only the Middle East but also our increasingly diverse neighborhoods at home.

Supported by the nation’s treasury, Joka assembled a group of armed men, gangsters who followed his words without question, without fear, spreading misery through the land and placing fear into people’s hearts and minds. His terror lasted for years, and the Zobian people lost their will and joy. They were empty. Joka’s oppression and repression was ruining their great country, draining their spirit, and destroying everything they held dear.Then...Shibaka, their savor, their beacon of hope in the dark night, shone across his people, giving them hope, granting them strength, and leading them to freedom. A new government was installed. A new ruler was put in place. The land of Zoba was cheerful again.The question that remains is, how long will it last?Wielding his powerful pen and crafting the words of a painful but true reality, the author takes you into a world in which we all live. Using the magical power of metaphors and allegories, you will be led into the world of politics, of dictatorship, of people’s suffering.
