In historical surveys, Andrew Johnson has been consistently ranked as one of the worst presidents for well over 150 years. But despite his bad reputation, there is much more to the life of Andrew Johnson than these rankings suggest. Andrew Johnson was a man who had long walked a political tightrope. He was a Southern Democrat who opposed the Democrat-dominated Southern states when they seceded from the Union—in fact, he was the only Southern senator to remain loyal to the United States.

Judge Gilbert Merritt and his circle of young lawyers and journalists in Nashville were among the South’s earliest Kennedy Democrats in the late 1950s. Their brash political strivings, though not always victorious at the polls, affected the shape of many things, including the rise of modern Nashville. As a young legal scholar in his twenties, Merritt was one of the nation’s youngest U.S.

O capitalismo está morto. Bem-vindo ao tecnofeudalismoAs dinâmicas tradicionais do capitalismo não governam mais a economia. O que destituiu esse sistema foi o próprio capital e as mudanças tecnológicas aceleradas das últimas duas décadas, que, como um vírus, destruíram seu hospedeiro. Os dois pilares que sustentavam o capitalismo foram substituídos: os mercados deram lugar às plataformas digitais, que são verdadeiros feudos das grandes tecnologias, e o lucro foi substituído pela pura extração de rendas.

In Song for a Hard-Hit People, Beth Howard shares her story of growing up in Appalachian Kentucky—the economic struggles, trauma, and ever-present sexism along with the loving care of her close-knit rural community. These complex people shaped Howard’s sense of justice and solidarity, and taught her about the inextricable bonds working-class people share, despite our differences. But her childhood also left her with emotional wounds that threatened to destroy the life she built for herself.

Anne Boleyn is the most notorious of England’s queens, but more famous for her death as an adulterer than for her life. Henry’s second wife and mother of Elizabeth I, Anne, was the first English queen to be publicly executed. Yet what do we know of the achievements and the legacy of her short reign? In The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy, Eric Ives provides the most detailed and convincing portrait we have of the queen.

Bitter Fruit is a comprehensive and insightful account of the CIA operation to overthrow the democratically elected government of Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala in 1954. First published in 1982, this book has become a classic, a textbook case of the relationship between the United States and the Third World. The authors make extensive use of U.S. government documents and interviews with former CIA and other officials. It is a warning of what happens when the United States abuses its power.

In this crucial book, former assistant principal, campaigner and TEDxBristol speaker Aisha Thomas demonstrates how race shapes the experiences of Black, Asian and racially minoritised teachers and pupils in the UK education system, and why representation is fundamental in every school. With a particular focus on the experiences of Black educators, parents and pupils, Aisha shares her own lived experience and features over 20 stories from those who have been affected by the racism that is endemic in the education system today.

Billions lack safe water. AI drives energy demand. Resources and time are scarce. Climate anxiety rises; old solutions can't keep up What if the answer is a technology set aside decades ago—not for failure, but because gas was cheap and this fuel wasn't weaponized? Thorium.

كل المبادئ التي طبقها غاندي في الحياة السياسية والاجتماعية، كان لها أسس روحية ودينية قوية، وهذه الأسس هي التي عظَّمت تأثير هذه المبادئ، وربما يكون هذا الكتاب بمثابة تسليط للضوء على هذه الأسس الراسخة لغاندي، والتي كرَّس حياته لها تمامًا، واعتبر أن كل ما يفعله على الصعيد السياسي ما هو إلا شكل من أشكال بحثه عن الحقيقة والله، وكان يؤمن أنه من الممكن العيش وفقًا لحياة روحية وأخلاقية وتطبيق ذلك على المجال السياسي أيضًا: «... لذلك علينا إقامة ملكوت السماوات في السياسة أيضًا.

This is the story of what could happen next. What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC's license fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described 'ill-disciplined pirate ship' survive the rigors of government?

The machines are already here. They diagnose diseases, trade stocks, drive trucks, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization running. Most of us barely notice. But the quiet accumulation of autonomous capability is approaching a threshold beyond which everything changes: the nature of work, the distribution of wealth, the quality of our collective decisions, and even what it means to be a person.

Aclamado como un genio mesiánico y tildado al mismo tiempo de bufón imprudente, Elon Musk ha capturado el imaginario popular de nuestra era. Pero, más allá del personaje, Quinn Slobodian y Ben Tarnoff proponen una tesis inquietante: Musk no es una anomalía del sistema, sino su encarnación más lograda. Bajo esta premisa, su forma de operar definiría la economía del siglo xxi de la misma forma que el fordismo definió el capitalismo del siglo xx.

El nuevo libro de Javier Cercas relata los últimos 50 años de la historia de España, que son los del diario El País, a través de un recorrido personal y una lúcida reflexión sobre los vínculos entre periodismo, literatura, política y libertades. El diario El País salió a la calle el 4 de mayo de 1976, menos de seis meses después de la muerte de Franco, cuando el camino a la democracia apenas empezaba a atisbarse.

En los dos tomos que componen Los engranajes de Occidente, Fabián C. Barrio analiza desde una perspectiva psicosociológica el declive de una civilización que ha pasado de alzar catedrales a cancelar panaderos. Del humanismo al algoritmo. Del sacrificio a la sobreexposición emocional.

From the beginning of American history, free speech has been crucial for the pursuit of justice and expansion of democracy. Yet today, we are seeing growing attempts to roll back free speech protections in America: cultural warriors are banning books from library shelves at a level not seen in decades, and elected officials are attacking free speech principles to undermine other rights and consolidate their own power.

Surgeons and health care professionals are trained to fix the human body, but they are poorly prepared for the nonclinical realities that accompany their careers—complications, harsh criticism, difficult personalities, leadership failures, and the silent weight of moral injury. Most try to push through by imitating senior colleagues who were never taught the nontechnical skills either, and the result can lead to guilt, anxiety, shame, and the belief that they’re the only ones struggling.

Robert Ingersoll (1833-1899) is one of the great lost figures in United States history, all but forgotten at just the time America needs him most. An outspoken and unapologetic agnostic, fervent champion of the separation of church and state, and advocate of the rights of women and Black Americans, he drew enormous audiences in the late 19th century with his lectures on “freethought.”

Am 19. Juli 1936 besteigt General Francisco Franco ein Flugzeug in Richtung Tetuán, um sich einem Aufstand gegen die spanische Republik anzuschließen. Spontan brechen mutige Freiwillige aus mehr als fünfzig Ländern auf, um Spanien gegen den faschistischen Umsturz zu verteidigen. Spontan beschließen Zehntausende Freiwillige aus aller Welt, Spanien im heraufziehenden Bürgerkrieg beizustehen. Es sind Künstler, Reporterinnen, Intellektuelle und Verfolgte, es sind Helfer und Krankenschwestern, Idealistinnen und Abenteurer.

Die USA, innenpolitisch zerstritten, treten in den Krieg ein, aber viel zu spät: China hat Taiwan schon annektiert, unterstützt von Russland, Iran und Nordkorea. Die globalen geopolitischen und ökonomischen Folgen sind verheerend: Die USA und China ringen um die Weltherrschaft, es droht ein dritter Weltkrieg, die Wirtschaft in Europa schmiert ab.
