Publisher's Summary:

Learn about the Apartheid Policy of South Africa with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.

Until 1994, only one quarter of the South African population voted in elections. People classified as non-White were denied basic rights, including the right to vote. This system was known as apartheid. The word comes from Afrikaners, a South African language. It literally means separateness or apartness.

Colonialism in Africa occurred in waves. The first was in 1488, when a Portuguese boat moored in southern Africa. But it was not until 1652 that Europeans, this time the Dutch, established a base there which became known as Cape Town. The base was staffed by ninety men with the aim of providing provisions to the Dutch East India Company. This group became known as Boers.

Editorial Reviews:

BBC documentarian David Whitely leads this inquiry into South Africa's turbulent history of racial inequality. From the forced labor practices of 17th-century Boer settlers, to colonial Britain's policy of segregation, to the formal institution of apartheid under Daniel Francois Malan, listeners will understand the history behind South Africa's centuries-long struggle for peace and equality. Whiteley explores apartheid from multiple angles: the heavy-handed and oppressive measures taken by the ruling Nationalist Party, the formation of anti-apartheid organizations such as the African National Congress, the bravery of activist leaders like Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, and international resistance efforts, including boycotts and sanctions. Whiteley is fluid and direct, proving himself more than capable of synthesizing a remarkable amount of information into a brief but informative analysis.

Critic Reviews:

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Members Reviews:

Good basis, needs editing

For a short history, this book is successful. However, there are too many small errors in the book; this is not necessary

don't waste your money

Please save your $2.99 don't buy this little book because the description of apartheid is something that you could easily get from a dictionary or wikipedia so save your money people.

Excellent

A wonderfully arranged list of the most important days that steered human history, and an extended explanation as to why it is important. A must have.

"Days that Changed the World (Unabridged)"

I absolutely hated this book. Author doesnt stick to the topic. He writes a lot about not important things around one evevnt, that the reader loose intrest and it is impossible, completely impossible to remember cause and effect of the event. Dont listen this such a waste of time. Author wrote this book for himself.

Clear and readable for people like myself with limited German and a strong desire to deepen their knowledge of one f the great military-political thinkers of all time. His various writings illuminate the NApoleonic Wars as no other.

Great German Edition for the price.

Super cheap and original language edition. Can't beat this edition if you read German and want to re Clausewitz in his own words. It is good.

Nice

with this book I can practice my German language, amazing!!!

I recommend this product very good quality and fast to read

Classic of modern philosophy of warfare

This is no doubt the no.1 classic of philosophy of warfare, though written with a modern view, the rational and enlightenments.

a must for every politician today

Although von Clausewitz's book refers to wars that cannot be compared with the state of the world today, his message remains extremely important: "... dass der Krieg nichts anderes ist als die fortgesetzte Staatspolitik mit anderen Mitteln" (that war is nothing else than the continuation of state politics with different means). If that is the case, the first question is always: how effective (and efficient) will these means be? What is the chance of effectively winning the war? Winning the war, according to Von Clausewitz, is: making sure that the ennemy loses all its power: "... so müsste es immer und ganz allein darauf ankommen, den Gegner niederzuwerfen, d.h. ihn wehrlos zu machen." George Bush would never had attacked Irak, if he had taken Von Clausewitz's arguments seriously: there was no perspective of winning the war. In Syria today, it is not even clear who the enemy is. Starting a war on moral (or even emotional) grounds only, is - following this theory - an absurdity. Although Von Clausewitz's German style is hardly readable, the content remains highly relevant.

Publisher's Summary:

The unique history of Brick Lane is brought to life by author Tarquin Hall in this mesmerising walk down the street that has played host to over 300 years of immigrants. From French Huguenots weaving silk in the lofts of Spitalfields to becoming the heart of Jewish London, Brick Lane has impacted millions of lives. It is now an astonishing mix of cutting edge fashion as well as the centre of the Bangladeshi community.

Critic Reviews:

"Soundmap is the 5-star option for iPod toting tourists... the guides are packed with character and atmosphere and the music and sound effects are ladled on with the enthusiasm of a high-gloss television documentary." (Mail on Sunday)

"Soundmap's audio tours offer a very personal perspective... It's a way of becoming immersed in an area, a bit like being in your own film complete with a soundtrack." (Time Out London)

"Walking, iPods and London trivia are the holy trinity as far as Londonist is concerned. The three have reached conjoined perfection in Soundmap." (Londonist.com)

"London has such a wealth of history and things to do, that it can become a little bewildering for visitors. Even for seasoned Londoners like myself, it's always surprising how little we actually know about this great city. Soundmap offers a solution." (Journeylist.com)

Fascinate colección de historias

Una fascinante colección de historias de ficción con maravillosos apuntes sobre personajes históricos. Un deleite que satisface el apetito por la ficción histórica. Las aventuras del fotógrafo Castellón se entrelazan con relatos de personajes reales del calibre de Rubén Darío, Chopin y George Sand y de lo acontecido o no en Mallorca. Narra la suerte trágica de reyes y princesas del pasado y la no menos venturada de los personajes del presente; describe diversos escenarios desde palacios en la selva y reinos miserables a lugares que pertenecen a mundos demasiado diferentes entre sí. Una alabanza a los ideales derrotados y a los sueños esquivos como el del canal por Nicaragua. La lucha y el desencanto pertenecen tanto a los perseguidos como a los que creen ser dueños del poder. "El escenario de las ilusiones, que es el escenario de las catástrofes", como lo describe el autor, ve al espíritu valiente, la sensibilidad artística y los sueños de prosperidad relegados a meras fantasías cuando enfrentados a la debilidad humana y al azar desfavorable se desvanecen. Una lectura muy variada que vale la pena y que mantiene vivo el interés del lector.

Termino con la siguiente reflexión del autor Sergio Ramírez sobre la vejez que nos la comunica a través de los ojos de un fotógrafo y que me pareció diciente y acertada: "Envejecer es solamente ver a alguien cambiarse de tanto en tanto de disfraz hasta quedarse con el más ridículo de todos, que es el disfraz de la decrepitud".

Mil y una historias

Cinco estrellas. Esta prosa, tan sabrosa, deja en los labios la miel. Después de leer esta novela me siento más "nica" y al mismo tiempo más universal. La novela nos hace agua la boca al darnos datos históricos tan curiosos (y algún que otro chisme sabrosón) que nos obliga a inquirir más e indagar en los libros de historia para aclarar dudas o confirmar datos. La técnica narrativa de Sergio Ramírez nos hace confundir la ficción con lo histórico o lo biográfico. Convincentes historias escritas (supuestamente) por Rubén Darío o Vargas Vila se cruzan con las anécdotas autobiográficas o contemporáneas del autor. El tiempo pasado, el presente, y distintos espacios geográfico se mezclan con la imaginación y la realidad para formar un universo multidimensional en donde el lector, aunque un poco perdido (como el personaje en el ULISES de Joyce), agradece el entretenido viaje de un continente a otro, pasando por Nicaragua, Francia, Mallorca, Polonia, y rozándose con personajes como el archiduque Luis Salvador, George Sand, Chopin, William Walker, Castellón, Flaubert o el rey Mosco.

Esta novela es novela histórica simplemente porque es toda historia, o toda anécdota. Mentira o verdad? No podemos ser ni tan inocentes ni tan exigentes. Recordemos que, alguna o muchas veces, un Robert Graves, una Mary Renault o un Menéndez Pidal pueden exagerar, embellecer, e incluso falsificar la "verdad" o lo que llamamos "Historia".
