Fridtjof Nansen (/ˈfrɪd.tjɒf ˈnænsən/ FRID-choff NAN-sən; 10 October 1861 – 13 May 1930) was a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In his youth a champion skier and ice skater, he led the team that made the first crossing of the Greenland interior in 1888, cross-country skiing on the island, and won international fame after reaching a record northern latitude of 86°14′ during his North Pole expedition of 1893–96. Although he retired from exploration after his return to Norway, his techniques of polar travel and his innovations in equipment and clothing influenced a generation of subsequent Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.

Im Vergleich zu den riesigen und bärenstarken Bewohnern des Entwicklungsplaneten Dilbia wirken selbst terranische Schwergewichtlicher wie Zwerge. Trotzdem hat ein Mensch es fertiggebracht, sich auf Dilbia Respekt zu verschaffen: Er besiegte einen berüchtigten dilbianischen Schläger im Zweikampf. Nun ist der junge Bill Waltham, ein Maschinenbau-Student, an der Reihe, auf Dilbia zum Champion der Menschheit zu werden. Bill hat, ohne es zu wollen, Knochenbrecher herausgefordert, den Anführer der dilbianischen Banditen. Dass der Ausgang dieses Duells die zukünftige Politik zwischen Terranern und Hemnoiden, den erbittertsten Konkurrenten Terras, bestimmen soll, ahnt Bill Waltham nicht – denn er ist ein Unbewusster Agent. Das humorvolle SF-Abenteuer DER RAUMFAHRER von Hugo- und Nebula-Preisträger GORDON R. DICKSON erscheint in der Reihe GALAXIS SCIENCE FICTION aus dem Apex-Verlag, in der SF-Pulp-Klassiker als durchgesehene Neuausgaben wiederveröffentlicht werden. [mehr]

"Anna Goosens, his second in command, was positive about the coming changes. Her father owned a business exporting Dutch water technology. He was expecting plenty of work in the future; building sea walls and flood protection systems, but not all countries had the money. Some of those that had, like the English, didn’t have the will. Yes, it took a certain sort of mindset to take on the sea the way the Dutch had. You had to be confident, believe in yourself, in your engineering skills. Maybe the British were losing their dominance. “How would the loss of land to the sea alter the geopolitical balance? That had been the subject of his MSc. His findings had been kept secret. After all, who would want to know that the Dutch would emerge as perhaps the most powerful force on the Atlantic seaboard? And what was wrong with that, argued Willem? Holland was a democratic, stable country, champion of human rights, and energy conscious. Nearly all of his team cycled to work and back, or took a tram" [mehr]

This book argues that the single greatest hindrance to Christian witness amongst Muslims in Europe is fear. Many European Christians fear that Europe will gradually turn into Eurabia, or Islamic domination of Europe, and they ignore the efforts of Muslims to adapt to the European context, a situation pointing to a future scenario of Euro-Islam, or Islam being Europeanized. The author argues that instead of an attitude of fear, which leads to exclusion, Christians should develop an attitude of grace, which leads to embrace. After analyzing books and courses developed to help Christians relate to Muslims, he concludes that these mostly concentrate on providing information and skills, instead of dealing with one’s attitude. Because of this the author developed a short course to help Christians overcome their fear of Islam and Muslims and to encourage Christians to share their lives with Muslims and to share the truth of the Gospel with the purpose of attracting them to Christ. Bert de Ruiter (1958) works with OM Europe as Champion Muslim Ministries in Europe. Bert obtained a Master of Arts in World Evangelization and a Doctor of Ministry in Muslim-Christian relations. During the past 25 years Bert has been ministering in almost 50 countries around the world to help Christians share their lives with Muslims. Bert and his wife live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and have two children and one grandchild. [mehr]
