Xi'an, the former Chang'an - home to the terracotta army and capital to 13 dynasties of Chinese emperors - experienced World Heritage fame in 1987 when the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was listed. In 2014, five more heritage sites in Xi'an were listed as part of the Silk Roads World Heritage nomination. The ancient capital represents glorious moments of Chinese history and local citizens are proud of Xi'an's archaeological and historical status. However, the modern cityscape is as much shaped by high rises as by historical buildings and heritage policies intersect with demands for urbanization, modernization, and economic growth. This book seeks to understand how modernity, history, and heritage are reconciled in this city where the past meets the future.

From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, “a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day” (Harper’s Magazine) Hannah Arendt’s insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.

He wanted to create. He wanted his creation to look like him. But he, he didn't still know who and what he was, who and what he wanted to copy Financed by the government, the greatest biotechnological attempt in the century, far away from cameras and publicity, a giant venture buried in the Amazon jungle that was meant to develop into danger that mankind has ever faced! Alive war machines with free will that were inherited with the best characteristics of every life form, the first perfect species that ever breathed on our planet! It took human intelligence, swiftness, lethal arms, and rapid reproduction rate to finally build an organism that would attempt to replace its own creator! The careless thoughts were to blame for that, the dreams of a man that played god but didn't manage to control his creations! The only thing sure was that no mind that originated in human intelligence would remain constrained in the narrow space of a prison. It was only a matter of time when they would escape, so that a day when 1.000.000 dead would sound few and would bring tears of happiness to the eyes of those who managed to survive would come!
