Dag Hammarskjöld
Dag Hammarskjöld (1905-1961), UN-Generalsekretär und Friedensnobelpreisträger, hat Spuren hinterlassen. Einer seiner Nachfolger, Kofi Annan, bekannte: "Für einen Generalsekretär der Vereinten Nationen gibt es keine bessere Methode, als sich zu fragen: Wie hätte Hammarskjöld gehandelt?"Der erste Teil der Biografie zeichnet die Lebensstationen des schwedischen Diplomaten nach. Kenntnisreich wird dargestellt, wie Hammarskjöld in den zahlreichen Krisensituationen während seiner Amtszeit agierte. Der zweite Teil lenkt den Blick auf die verborgene Seite seiner Person: auf sein inneres Ringen, seine Einsamkeit, seine Hoffnungen und seinen Glauben, wie sie in den bilderreich-poetischen, meist fragmentarischen Tagebuchnotizen aufscheinen.Bennings einfühlsame Annäherung vermittelt eine Ahnung von der Größe dieses Menschen, dem es vermutlich zu verdanken ist, dass es nicht zu einem Dritten Weltkrieg gekommen ist.Aktualisiert, bearbeitete Neuausagabe zum 60.

Ökonomie für den Menschen
Das große Buch des Friedens- und Nobelpreisträgers Amartya SenIm Jahr 2020 erhält er für sein Lebenswerk den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels. Bereits 1998 wurde er mit dem Nobelpreis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften ausgezeichnet. "Ökonomie für den Menschen", erstmal im Jahr 2000 auf deutsch erschienen, ist das Hauptwerk Amartya Sens. Es zeigt: Ökonomische Vernunft, politischer Realismus und soziale Verantwortung müssen keine Widersprüche sein - denn nicht an unserem Wohlstand, sondern an unserer Freiheit zeigt sich wirklicher wirtschaftlicher Fortschritt."Die Armen und Besitzlosen dieser Welt könnten unter den Ökonomen keinen klareren und kenntnisreicheren Fürsprecher haben als Amartya Sen." Kofi Annan"Ein großer Intellektueller und engagierter Humanist, der sich nie gescheut hat, Mögliches zu wagen und seine Überlegungen einem Praxistest zu unterziehen."

Interventions
A "candid, courageous, and unsparing memoir” (The New York Review of Books) of post-Cold War politics and global statecraft Written with eloquence and unprecedented candor, Interventions is the story of Kofi Annan's remarkable time at the center of the world stage. After forty years of service at the United Nations, Annan—who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001—shares his unique experiences during the terrorist attacks of September 11; the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan; the war between Israel, Hizbollah, and Lebanon; the brutal conflicts of Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia; and the geopolitical transformations following the end of the Cold War. A personal biography of global statecraft, Interventions is as much a memoir as a guide to world order—past, present, and future.- Shop: buecher

Robert Burns: A Collection of Poems & Songs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
Many nations have produced outstanding poets who they would gladly have represent their Culture. But can any Nation say they have an equivalent of Robert Burns...The Ploughman Poet, The Bard Of Scotland? This one poet is indelibly linked and intertwined with the culture and people of Scotland. His life, loves, politics, verse, and songs speak as them and for them. Politically, he was an inspiration to both liberalism and socialism as well as a Scottish parliament. His unique ability enabled him to appeal to all and quite rightly to be viewed as the National poet. His fame today is worldwide and celebrated in January each year with the Traditional Burns night. Each New Years Eve friends and families the world over link arms to 'Auld Lang Syne', giving immortality to his words and aims. The former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, has said that Burn's poems dignify and illuminate the struggle faced by the vast majority of the world's population today. Our selection of poems is read to you by Gordon Kennedy. Perhaps most well known as Little John in the ITV series Robin Hood, Gordon is an accomplished actor and a familar sight on TV. ungekürzt.

The Greatest Threat: Iraq, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the Crisis of Global Security , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min
Civilization may face no greater enemy than Saddam Hussein, and yet, as Richard Butler makes clear in his gripping and terrifying The Greatest Threat, the major powers allowed Saddam to face them down. Richard Butler was not the type to surrender to the Iraqis, not when he knew what was at stake. As the head of UNSCOM, the special United Nations Commission that was supposed to regularly inspect Iraq for weapons violations, Butler was the world's "sheriff" - the one person on the ground with the authority to shut the Iraqis down if he caught them cheating. But that authority was undermined behind his back. Kofi Annan, in the name of diplomacy, agreed to Hussein's outrageous demands and then claimed victory. Russia's Foreign Minister took secret payoffs from the Iraqis in exchange for his support. The French, eager to do business with the dictator, undercut American efforts to force Hussein to comply. Butler found himself the target of a major Iraqi and Russian propaganda campaign and, ultimately, alone. The Greatest Threat tells the inside story of the UN's failed attempt to stop Saddam and explains the terrible cost of that failure. A disturbing and important work, The Greatest Threat is essential listening for anyone who cares about the fate of the globe. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Whitfield.
