Antonio Bernal is a Guatemalan refugee in Los Angeles haunted by memories of his wife and child, who were murdered at the hands of a man marked with yellow ink. In a park near Antonio's apartment, Guillermo Longoria extends his arm and reveals a sinister tattoo--yellow pelt, black spots, red mouth. It is the sign of the death squad, the Jaguar Battalion of the Guatemalan army. This chance encounter between Antonio and his family's killer ignites a psychological showdown between these two men. Each will discover that the war in Central America has migrated with them as they are engulfed by the quemazones--"the great burning" of the Los Angeles riots. A tragic tale of loss and destiny in the underbelly of an American city, The Tattooed Soldier is Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Héctor Tobar's mesmerizing exploration of violence and the marks it leaves upon us.

Wir waren niemals freier, reicher und gesünder als heute. Nie hatten wir mehr Möglichkeiten, geschweige denn das Geld dazu. Dennoch gehts uns beschissen und ein Gefühl der Hoffnungslosigkeit macht sich breit. Der Planet erwärmt sich, Regierungen versagen, die Wirtschaft bricht zusammen und auf Twitter sind ständig alle beleidigt. In Everything is Fucked wirft Bestsellerautor Mark Manson einen Blick auf dieses Paradox. Humorvoll stellt er unsere gängigen Definitionen von Glück, Hoffnung und Freiheit auf den Prüfstand. Ausgehend von den Erkenntnissen der Psychologie sowie der zeitlosen Weisheit großer Philosophen hinterfragt er unsere Beziehung zu Geld, Vergnügungen und dem Internet. Er beweist: Zu viel von einer guten Sache überfordert und macht uns schlicht fertig - aber es gibt Hoffnung. Mit seinem gewohnten Mix aus Ernsthaftigkeit und lockerem Humor fordert er uns auf, ehrlicher mit uns selbst zu sein und uns auf eine ganz neue Weise mit der Welt zu verbinden. Denn noch ist nicht all...

This is the most important post-9/11 analysis of war and it comes none too soon. Every politician should read this book before deciding on war. In the 20th century, 170 million human beings have died in wars. That makes 4630 casualties a day, 193 every hour, and 3 every minute. While 1035 billion dollars were spent on warfare in 2004, only 78.6 billion were spent on aid to developing countries. Russia and the U.S. boast 3.6 and 5.9 wars each generation respectively - that is 49.3 and 48.3 years of warfare for each generation. "The Most Dangerous Animal" takes the reader on a journey through evolution, anthropology, and psychology and asks what about human nature makes war possible. Meticulously researched and far-reaching in scope, Smith delivers a sobering lesson for an increasingly dangerous world. Product details Format ...
