Bosch (eBook, ePUB)

Bosch is a company with a rich history. It stands for important trends of the modern world, such as the motorization of transport or the electrification of the household, and was one of the pioneers of globalization. Its founder Robert Bosch was as well known for his liberal views as he was for the social principles he applied to company management. With this book, Johannes Bähr and Paul Erker present the first comprehensive history of Bosch to be written by independent historians. In undertaking their research, the authors had unrestricted access to the company archives. Starting from the figure of the company founder, his business principles, and the early days of his company as a modest, courtyard-entrance workshop in the west end of Stuttgart, they go on to describe the company’s rise to become the world’s leading automotive supplier, as well as the emergence of a distinctive corporate culture oriented to social concerns. The authors also profile the company’s most important subsidiaries, charting the development of the diverse business activities that characterize today’s supplier of technology and services. The work’s focal points include the company’s conduct during the Third Reich as well as the later evolution of its corporate constitution. Spanning a period of more than 100 years, the authors recount the history of one of the world’s first global enterprises, a history of outstanding innovations and triumphs, but also of crises that time and again put the company founder’s principles to the test.

Thus Spake Zarathustra , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a philosophical novel by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The work’s hybrid narrative encompasses philosophical sayings, fiction, and poetry, and also serves as a parody of and amendment to the Bible. The plot, a chronicle of fictitious speeches and travels attributed to the ancient sage Zarathustra or Zoroaster, emerges only sporadically throughout the text. Quite different from the historical figure, Nietzsche’s Zarathustra turns morality around and severely criticizes religion, which he views as "the worship of death".Nietzschean concepts such as the "eternal recurrence of the same events", the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Übermensch or "Superman" recur in the text. Nietzsche considered Thus Spake Zarathustra as his masterpiece, and today, it is regarded as the primary precursor to modern existentialist thought. ungekürzt. Language: English.
