David Gordon Wilson

    1. Jänner 1928 – 2. Mai 2019

    David Sloan Wilson ist ein führender Evolutionsbiologe, dessen Werk sich mit den komplexen Fragen der menschlichen Natur und Gesellschaft auseinandersetzt. Er untersucht, wie evolutionäre Prinzipien unser Verhalten, unsere Moral und unser kollektives Leben prägen. Sein Ansatz konzentriert sich darauf, zu verstehen, wie die Evolution nicht nur Organismen, sondern auch Kulturen und Institutionen hervorbringt. Wilson bietet eine provokante Perspektive, durch die das evolutionäre Denken zeitgenössische Herausforderungen beleuchten kann.

    Das Gesetz des Bösen
    • Greenbank ist eine einzigartige Strafanstalt, zugleich Gefängnis und Therapiezentrum für die schlimmsten Serienmörder des Landes. Als sich ein Häftling auf schreckliche Weise selbst tötet und kurz darauf ein zweiter bestialisch ermordet wird, kann es der neue Gefängnisdirektor Munro nicht mehr leugnen: Jemand hat es auf sie alle abgesehen. Gemeinsam mit der Psychologin Kate und dem Polizisten Knight begibt Munro sich auf Spurensuche. Doch die Zeit rennt ihnen davon. Denn der Mörder treibt immer noch sein Unwesen, innerhalb wie außerhalb der Gefängnismauern. Und sein blutiges Werk ist noch lange nicht beendet ...

      The book explores the decentralized nature of Britain and its empire, emphasizing that the reduction of piracy during this period was not due to a strong central authority but rather a result of diverse activities across various colonial centers. It illustrates how different colonial arrangements contributed to managing and mitigating the piracy surge, highlighting the complexity of imperial governance and the interactions between local and imperial forces.

      THE PERFECT COMPANION TO PETER MAY'S LEWIS TRILOGY, AND A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEBRIDEAN ISLANDS. The landscape of the Outer Hebrides, with its stark cliffs, ghostly mists and lonely beaches, has become a definitive character of Peter May's Lewis trilogy. In Hebrides, readers will accompany him on an odyssey in prose and images, through a history of the Vikings' 'Long Island' and his own deep personal connection with the islands that influenced his bestselling work. Travelling as if alongside his protagonist Fin Macleod, he describes the island life - as bewitching as it is treacherous - his encounter with the bird-hunters of Sula Sgeir, the savage seas of Ness and the churches of Eriskay. With extracts from the trilogy and specially commissioned photographs, this book places his writing and characters within the land that gave them form. Couldn't get enough of the Lewis trilogy and its extraordinary setting? Check out Peter May's latest bestseller, Coffin Road, in which the million-selling master of crime brings murder back to the Outer Hebrides.
