Story
In this innovative and compelling work of environmental history, Philipp Blom chronicles the great climate crisis of the 1600s, a crisis that would transform the entire social and political fabric of Europe. While hints of a crisis appeared as early as the 1570s, by the end of the 16th century the temperature plummeted so drastically that Mediterranean harbours were covered with ice, birds literally dropped out of the sky and ‘frost fairs’ were erected on a frozen Thames - with kiosks, taverns and even brothels that became a semipermanent part of the city.

Story
The flourishing of radical philosophy in Baron Thierry Holbach’s Paris salon from the 1750s to the 1770s stands as a seminal event in Western history. Holbach’s house was an international epicenter of revolutionary ideas and intellectual daring, bringing together such original minds as Denis Diderot, Laurence Sterne, David Hume, Adam Smith, Ferdinando Galiani, Horace Walpole, Benjamin Franklin, Guillaume Raynal, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In A Wicked Company, acclaimed historian Philipp Blom retraces the fortunes of this exceptional group of friends.

Story
Kann man heutzutage noch hoffen? Ein Hörbuch für alle, die klar denken und trotzdem optimistisch bleiben wollen! Es ist noch nicht lange her, da stand die Zukunft für eine bessere Welt. Inzwischen haben wir uns angewöhnt, mit dem Schlimmsten zu rechnen, und mussten oft genug erleben, dass es noch schlimmer kam. Gibt es wirklich keinen vernünftigen Grund mehr, zu hoffen? Philipp Blom findet die Ursprünge der Hoffnung in einem religiösen Weltverständnis, mit dem die Gegenwart nicht mehr viel anfangen kann: Das Dasein war sinnvoll, weil es in ein ewiges Leben münden würde.

Story
Una esclarecedora crónica que es a su vez una llamada a enfrentar los retos climáticos del presente y el futuro. Hacia finales del siglo XVI, las temperaturas empezaron a caer, hasta tal punto que se helaron las aguas de algunos puertos mediterráneos y las aves se congelaban en pleno vuelo... Sobre el hielo del Támesis se organizaban animadas ferias. A mediados del siglo siguiente, Europa se transformó: cosechas arruinadas, hambrunas, migraciones...

Story
Freiheit, Demokratie, Gerechtigkeit: Die Ideen des modernen Staats entstanden während der Aufklärung. Im 21. Jahrhundert haben wir uns längst daran gewöhnt. Dass Populisten mit dem Versprechen einer autoritären Gesellschaft Mehrheiten organisieren, ist dagegen eine neue Erfahrung. Der Historiker Philipp Blom sieht die westlichen Gesellschaften vor einer prekären Wahl: radikale Marktliberale einerseits, autoritäre Populisten andererseits. Sie gaukeln uns einfache Lösungen für die globalen Herausforderungen vor.

Story
Dieses Buch ist der Aufruf zu einer neuen Klarheit des Denkens. Denn die Probleme von morgen können wir nicht mit der Denkweise und Philosophie von gestern bekämpfen. Wenn die wichtigsten politischen und philosophischen Errungenschaften der Aufklärung - Demokratie, Menschenrechte, evidenzbasiertes Denken - überleben sollen, müssen wir eine Lebensweise und ein Verständnis der Welt entwickeln, die dem menschlichen Wohlergehen verpflichtet sind und von planetarischer Gerechtigkeit getragen werden.
