Jefferson was a soft-spoken man who recoiled from direct conflict, yet a master puppeteer in politics. Whenever he left Monticello, where he could control his environment, he suffered debilitating headaches that plagued him for decades, until he finally retired from public life. So, what did it feel like to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged.

Cuidar de ellos es cuidar de una de las principales herramientas para salvaguardar las condiciones mínimas de existencia y expresión de la diversidad social y política.

Andrew Jackson: The Republic’s Iron Fist traces the full arc of one of the most polarizing figures in U.S. history.

This audiobook doesn’t glorify. It doesn’t condemn.

Books preserve ideas, yes, but they also provoke new ones— they are true tools for thinking. In The Idea Machine, Joel J. Miller shows that books are one of the most important but overlooked factors in the making of our contemporary world.

Over the course of their decade-long friendship, Martin revealed secretive details of the Vatican's efforts to combat Stalinist Iron Curtain governments during the Cold War.

What if your therapist’s business model depends on you never getting better? In this hard-hitting exposé, Dr. Hugh Brisbane pulls back the curtain on the mental health industry and reveals how compassion itself has been commodified. From Freud’s “talking cure” to TikTok therapists, the empathy economy has grown into a billion-dollar machine where the incentives reward endless sessions, quick prescriptions, and patient dependence—not healing.

In Islam, Israel and the West, Danny Burmawi makes sure you get Islam right. Writing as a former Muslim who left the Middle East for freedom in the West, Burmawi exposes what Islam truly is: not simply a private religion, but a political-theological system with global ambitions.

For the past thirty years, post-Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous.

The French Constitution of 1791 has a major legacy that overturned many centuries of historical tradition but remains little known outside of France. Its powerful impact served as the inspiration for the wave of constitution-making that engulfed Europe during the nineteenth century and expanded globally thereafter. Furthermore, with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen as its original preamble, the Constitution of 1791 is associated with the concept of human rights proclaimed by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

When states die, there are massive consequences. Somalia's death in 1991 created a safe haven for criminal non-state actors and has unsettled the Horn of Africa for decades. When the Iraqi state was dismantled in 2003, a similar set of consequences plagued the Middle East and the international system more broadly. In How States Die, Douglas Lemke provides an analysis of this phenomenon by reconceptualizing the definitions of the state and state death. A state exists, according to Lemke, whenever a set of state-like political entities exercise control over a populated territory.

Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing.

How do separatist conflicts arise and spread? When does separatism become a cover for a foreign aggression? How do local communities respond when state institutions collapse, and militants take over?

March 2028: Russian troops capture the small Estonian town of Narva and the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea. After victory in Ukraine, Putin's long-mooted encroachment into the Baltic states has begun.

Will they risk nuclear war?
