Economic and Social History of Medieval Europe
0€ 27,95In this book, Hein Pirenne, the great Belgian economic historian, traces the character and general movement of the economic and social evolution of Western Europe from the end of the Roman Empire to the middle of the fifteenth century. From the breakup of the economic equilibrium of the ancient world to the revival of commerce, the redevelopment of credit, the trade of commodities, the origins of urban industry, and the rebirth of new forms of protectionism, mercantilism, and capitalism, Pirenne presents as complete a picture of the Medieval world as is possible in one volume. “I have tried,” says the author in his preface, “to envisage this great area as a single whole, of which the parts were in constant communication with each other; in other words I have adopted an international standpoint… I have been careful not to resort to theories lest I shoeld do violence to the facts… Finally, I have throughout tried to give s clear an account as possible, even of the most controversial problems.

Embedded in the universal consciousness
0€ 17,95Most people unwillingly limit their awareness to a life as it literally appears before their eyes. Few experience an ‘above’ in everyday life. But to feel truly connected, to be in it, is different. Are there experiences that surpass human understanding? Yes of course there are! Science begins with trying to picture something you want to know more about: something which is in fact already present in our experience or observation but which apparently causes enough curiosity to investigate further. In order to gain an interpretation of spiritual experiences the necessity of the heart consciousness seems the more obvious choice of instrument. This book is about reclaiming, fully living and sharing your own truth about spiritual experiences.

Erich Ludendorff, Mathilde von Kemnitz und der deutsche Gottglaube
0€ 18,95Der katastrophale Ausgang des Ersten Weltkriegs stellte für Deutschland ein großes Trauma dar. Die strengen Friedensbestim-mungen und die dem Land auferlegte Entschädigung, die im Ver-sailler Vertrag festgehalten wurden, verschärften die Situation noch weiter. Für General Erich Ludendorff, der mit Paul von Hinden-burg das entscheidende Duo auf deutscher Seite gebildet hatte, war dieses Ergebnis eigentlich inakzeptabel. Man hatte quasi praktisch gegen die ganze Welt gekämpft und nur um Haaresbreite verlo-ren. Der Heilungsprozess, der auf die Niederlage folgte, nahm für Ludendorff eine wundersame Wendung. Zusammen mit seiner zweiten Frau, Mathilde von Kemnitz, entstand eine neue religiöse Bewegung, um das Leid zu verkraften; der “deutsche Gottglaube”.

This book, should be compulsory reading for new ExpatsThe writer Jacob (Joop) Heilijgers – a Dutch national – is a business man and writer of columns, articles and short stories. He has been living for 30 years in Singapore and Indonesia. Where he witnessed many strange things from close-by. Joop turned these into a book of 300 pages, with 16 independent true stories. Many are about amorous relations of fellow expats with much younger Asian women. The ideal wife in their eyes, but the big differences in age and culture often became a recipe for disappointment. Divorce, loss of money and even dead. Certainly, many mixed relations are going well. But hard to write a juicy story about, according to Joop.

From Anunnaki to Illuminati
0€ 39,95There is an alternative history of life on this planet. Jaap Rameijer, known for his revelations about Rennes-le-Château and Glastonbury, outlines the secrets of the Anunnaki and the Illuminati to the reader. He shows how our early history was a history of slavery, where gold had to be mined for the gods. It was an era of high technology, of old gods and new gods, of very old civilizations and their imposing structures, of the clay tablets, the Bible and other religious scriptures and of the many disasters that befell the earth. Humanity lives and lived among secret societies with their hidden agendas. Lucifer and the Satanists made their ascent, as did UFOs, Orbs, Crop Circles and the Spirit World. Courageous writers rang the bell and try to warn humanity, while alien civilizations watch us carefully.
