Story
From the tremendous hope for a new century embodied in the 1900 Worlds Fair in Paris to the shattering assassination of a Habsburg archduke in Sarajevo in 1914, historian Philipp Blom chronicles this extraordinary epoch year by year. Prime Ministers and peasants, anarchists and actresses, scientists and psychopaths intermingle on the stage of a new century in this portrait of an opulent, unstable age on the brink of disaster.

Story
Although hints of a crisis appeared as early as the 1570s, the temperature by the end of the 16th century plummeted so drastically that Mediterranean harbors were covered with ice, birds literally dropped out of the sky, and "frost fairs" were erected on a frozen Thames - with kiosks, taverns, and even brothels that become a semi-permanent part of the city. Recounting the deep legacy and far-ranging consequences of this "Little Ice Age", acclaimed historian Philipp Blom reveals how the European landscape had subtly, but ineradicably, changed by the mid-17th century.

Story
Una esclarecedora crónica que es a su vez una llamada a enfrentar los retos climáticos del presente y el futuro. Hacia finales del siglo XVI, las temperaturas empezaron a caer, hasta tal punto que se helaron las aguas de algunos puertos mediterráneos y las aves se congelaban en pleno vuelo... Sobre el hielo del Támesis se organizaban animadas ferias. A mediados del siglo siguiente, Europa se transformó: cosechas arruinadas, hambrunas, migraciones...

Story
Freiheit, Demokratie, Gerechtigkeit: Die Ideen des modernen Staats entstanden während der Aufklärung. Im 21. Jahrhundert haben wir uns längst daran gewöhnt. Dass Populisten mit dem Versprechen einer autoritären Gesellschaft Mehrheiten organisieren, ist dagegen eine neue Erfahrung. Der Historiker Philipp Blom sieht die westlichen Gesellschaften vor einer prekären Wahl: radikale Marktliberale einerseits, autoritäre Populisten andererseits. Sie gaukeln uns einfache Lösungen für die globalen Herausforderungen vor.

Story
Dieses Buch ist der Aufruf zu einer neuen Klarheit des Denkens. Denn die Probleme von morgen können wir nicht mit der Denkweise und Philosophie von gestern bekämpfen. Wenn die wichtigsten politischen und philosophischen Errungenschaften der Aufklärung - Demokratie, Menschenrechte, evidenzbasiertes Denken - überleben sollen, müssen wir eine Lebensweise und ein Verständnis der Welt entwickeln, die dem menschlichen Wohlergehen verpflichtet sind und von planetarischer Gerechtigkeit getragen werden.
