‎Ackerman Elliot, Admiral James Stavridis‎

‎2034: A Novel of the Next World War‎

‎8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.303. From two former military officers and award-winning authors, a chillingly authentic, geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034--and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration. On March 12, 2034, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is on the bridge of her flagship, the guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones, conducting a routine freedom of navigation patrol in the South China Sea when her ship detects an unflagged trawler in clear distress, smoke billowing from its bridge. On that same day, US Marine aviator Major Chris "Wedge" Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of Hormuz, testing a new stealth technology as he flirts with Iranian airspace. By the end of that day, Wedge will be an Iranian prisoner, and Sarah Hunt's destroyer will lie at the bottom of the sea, sunk by the Chinese Navy. Iran and China have clearly coordinated their moves, which involve the use of powerful new forms of cyber weaponry that render US ships and planes defenseless. In a single day, America's faith in its military's strategic pre-eminence is in tatters. A new, terrifying era is at hand. So begins a disturbingly plausible work of speculative fiction, co-authored by an award-winning novelist and decorated Marine veteran and the former commander of NATO, a legendary admiral who has spent much of his career strategically out maneuvering America's most tenacious adversaries. Written with a powerful blend of geopolitical sophistication and literary, human empathy, 2034 takes us inside the minds of a global cast of characters--Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Indians--as a series of arrogant miscalculations on all sides leads the world into an intensifying international storm. In the end, China and the United States will have paid a staggering cost, one that forever alters the global balance of power. Everything in 2034 is an imaginative extrapolation from present-day facts on the ground combined with the authors' years working at the highest and most classified levels of national security. Sometimes it takes a brilliant work of fiction to illuminate the most dire of warnings: 2034 is all too close at hand, and this cautionary tale presents the reader a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid. Admiral Jim Stavridis, USN (Ret.) spent more than thirty years in the US Navy, rising to the rank of four-star admiral. He was Supreme Allied Commander at NATO and previously commanded US Southern Command, overseeing military operations through Latin America. At sea, he commanded a Navy destroyer, a destroyer squadron, and an aircraft carrier battle group in combat. He holds a PhD from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he recently served five years as dean. He has published eight previous books. Admiral Stavridis is Chief International Security and Diplomacy Analyst for NBC News, and a columnist at both Time magazine and Bloomberg Opinion. Based in Washington, D.C., he is an operating executive of the Carlyle Group, an international private equity firm. Elliot Ackerman is the author of the novels Red Dress In Black and White, Waiting for Eden, Dark at the Crossing, and Green on Blue, as well as the memoir Places and Names: On War, Revolution and Returning. His books have been nominated for the National Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal in both fiction and non-fiction, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He is both a former White House Fellow and Marine, and served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart.‎

‎The stone of heaven. The secret history of Imperial Green Jade.‎

‎As New As New English Original binding with original dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). [xvii], 429 p. Color ills. Mint. Asked to name the most valuable stone in the world, most of us would think of diamonds, rubies - possibly emeralds. But there is something far more precious buried deep in the bedrock of the remotest mine in the world, a valley in the shadow of the Himalayas. Imperial Jade Green has been famed in the East for a thousand years, eulogized by the Chinese as the color of the kingfisher's neck feathers, the only thing on earth that was said to match its astonishing green hue. By the end of the 18th century, Europe could barely contain its curiosity and explorers were dispatched to a 'barbaric land', forced to negotiate with the Lord of Mines, a King who they reported 'shone like the sun'. But they all returned empty handed, bearing only stolen glimpses of a smoking thicket that 'rang with wild incantations'. It would be another 100 years before Imperial Jade Green traveled to the west, and when it did, it left behind a trail of rubble and misery.‎

‎Mit Mängelstempel auf Fußschnitt erworben, sonst gut. - Ai Weiweis verbotener Blog erstmals auf Deutsch: einer der spannendsten Texte über das moderne China ? und das ergreifende Dokument wachsender Wut und wachsenden Widerstands. Nicht erst seit seiner Verhaftung wurde Ai Weiwei zur Ikone des Kampfes für Meinungsfreiheit, Menschenwürde und das Recht des Einzelnen auf individuelle Selbstentfaltung. Fast vier Jahre lang dokumentierte er im Internet, was er in seiner Heimat erlebte und was er sich dazu dachte ? ein Glücksfall allein schon dies, liest man doch endlich einmal nicht die Analyse eines westlichen Experten, sondern den Bericht eines Chinesen, der sein Land liebt, viele Entwicklungen aber mit immer größerer Skepsis beobachtet: SARS, Milchpulverskandal, Olympische Spiele, Korruption, Organhandel, der Umgang mit dem Gedenken an das Massaker auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens ? zuviel stößt ihm auf. Nach einem großen Erdbeben, bei dem 20.000 Menschen zum Teil deshalb starben, weil aus minderwertigem Material gebaute öffentliche Gebäude zusammenfielen wie Kartenhäuser, beginnt er ? öffentlich und mit der Kamera in der Hand ? nach den Verantwortlichen zu fragen. Und die Bevölkerung dazu aufzurufen, sich zu organisieren. Zweimal wird er bei seinen Recherchen zusammengeschlagen. Sein Blog gewinnt an Wut ? 2009 schreiten die Behörden ein, die Seite wird gesperrt, alle Einträge werden gelöscht. Eine in Vorbereitung befindliche chinesische Buchausgabe wird zurückgezogen. Ai Weiwei twittert weiter, mit je 120 chinesischen Zeichen pro Nachricht. 2011 verhaftet man ihn unter fadenscheinigen Gründen. Ein amerikanischer Verlag erarbeitete mit Ai Weiwei eine Buchausgabe, jetzt gibt es sie erstmals auf Deutsch. Der Kampf um Ai Weiweis Blog steht beispielhaft für den Kampf ums Internet in China. In seinen Texten sieht man einer Revolution beim Wachsen zu. Sie sind spannende persönliche Zeugnisse und haben das Zeug zum Klassiker der engagierten Literatur. (Verlagstext). ISBN 9783869710495‎
