In the late nineteenth century, the great Tory leader Lord Salisbury and his closest collaborators were haunted by the looming threat of Home Rule in Ireland. Salisbury, an anxious man obsessed by visions of social disintegration, was determined to undermine the legitimacy of what he saw as a revolutionary project, one that would damage the prestige and integrity of the British Empire, then at its zenith. He was willing to tarnish the reputation of the Irish leadership by any means necessary.

Will has been—and always will be—the basis for succeeding in any conflict or competition. To win in a conflict or competition, decision-makers must comprehend the meaning and implications of will and successfully transform theories about it into practice.

Dark Racism examines how racism persists in modern society without relying on overt hatred or explicit language. Rather than focusing on individual prejudice, the book reveals how inequality is produced and sustained through policies, economic incentives, and institutions that present themselves as neutral and fair. Racism's harm today is often bureaucratic, procedural, and normalized—making it harder to see, easier to deny, and more difficult to challenge.

A reflection on everyday existence in the ‘sphere of consumption of late Capitalism’, this work is Adorno’s literary and philosophical masterpiece. Built from aphorisms and reflections, he shifts in register from personal experience to the most general theoretical problems.

Dissatisfied with the reductive clichés that now define Jefferson’s legacy, Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano restore the founding father to his historical context, elucidating in three essays how Jefferson’s understanding of history shaped his responses to the crises of his time, how he conceived of the physical entity that became the United States, and how he articulated a new national identity in 1776. Through their search for understanding, Onuf and Cogliano demonstrate not only why Jefferson matters, but how his wisdom can be applied today.

Banning Books in America features novelists on banning and being banned, arguments about the histories and politics of book banning, readings of banned books in national and international contexts, and responses to new legislation by anti-censorship advocates, teachers, and librarians. Together, these writers and educators provide a view from the trenches of the wars on reading. They offer, if not a single blueprint, models for how to think about what it means to ban books and how to fight back against the forces that would ban them.

America has always been a constitutionally classless society, yet an American aristocracy emerged anyway—a private club whose members run in the same circles and observe the same unwritten rules. He identifies which families in which cities have always mattered, and how they've defined America. America's Secret Aristocracy offers an inside look at the estates, marriages, and financial empires of America's most powerful families—from the Randolphs of Virginia and the Roosevelts of New York to the Carillos and Ortegas of California.

Giulia Blasi parte da una serie di riflessioni personali da attivista in preda a un momento di sconforto per decostruire la narrazione dell'isolamento e mettersi alla ricerca di un'alternativa concreta al senso di impotenza che attraversa il nostro tempo. Il risultato è un libro che non fornisce soluzioni facili per problemi complessi ma prova a disegnare una mappa per orientarsi in un periodo di grande difficoltà collettiva, cercando una via d'uscita dal Tapinocene, l'era dell'infelicità.

Why Not U.S.? Steal the Good Stuff—Better Pay, Saner Schedules, Safer Worksites, Calmer Schools—Real Fixes for Workers and Families is for anyone who’s felt the daily math doesn’t work: a nurse expected to clock in before childcare opens, a parent trapped between school hours and shift work, or a family one surprise bill away from chaos. Avery Hartwell translates policy into plain English—no partisan shouting, no academic fog—so you can actually see how real solutions could land in your town, your workplace, and your kid’s classroom.

More than a toolkit, Transforming Public Safety is a rallying cry for those committed to doing the work right. At a time when CVI is gaining national attention—but also risks dilution—this book reinforces what must never be lost: precision, purpose, and proximity to those at the center of gun violence.

Operation Ajax is the gripping, unsettling true story of one of the Cold War’s most influential covert missions—the 1953 coup that removed Iran’s elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, and restored the Shah to power.

Individual liberty rarely vanishes overnight. It erodes gradually—quietly, incrementally, and often in the name of good intentions. In The Forbidden Idea, Mark A. Monoscalco challenges the assumptions that have shaped modern political and economic thought, arguing that human flourishing depends on unfettered minds and voluntary cooperation—not coercion, central planning, or wealth redistribution.

This is not a Memoir. It's Memory. When author, scholar, and educator Cassiopeia Fletcher accepted an invitation to visit Israel, she expected history. She didn’t expect heartbreak. In The Price of Peace: A Memory, Fletcher traces her ten-day journey across the land of covenant and conflict—from the still waters of Galilee to the scarred fields near Gaza, from ancient olive groves to modern memorials of unthinkable loss. What began as a trip of learning became a pilgrimage of witness.

Helmuth James von Moltke, am 11. März 1907 auf dem Familiengut im schlesischen Kreisau geboren, war einer der wenigen, die diese Eigenschaften mit sich brachten. Anders als die meisten Mitglieder der bürgerlich-konservativen und der militärischen Opposition gegen Hitler war er ein kompromissloser Gegner des Nationalsozialismus von allem Anfang an. Und er war der Spiritus Rector des Kreisauer Kreises, jener Widerstandsgruppe, die sich wie keine zweite in einem jahrelangen mühevollen Diskussionsprozess auf ein detailliertes Programm für eine Neuordnung nach Hitler verständigte.

Xi Jinping herrscht über 1,4 Milliarden Menschen und die zweitgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt. Dennoch ist überraschend wenig über ihn bekannt. Der erfahrene Auslandskorrespondent Michael Sheridan hat alles zusammengetragen, was er in 20 Jahren aus Insiderberichten und eigenen Reportagen über den chinesischen Staatspräsidenten recherchieren konnte, und zeichnet das bislang wohl detaillierteste Bild des starken Mannes in Peking und seines Werdegangs.

¿Qué opinaría Franco de los suyos si levantara la cabeza? El 20 de noviembre de 1975, la vida para la familia Franco cambió para siempre. El apellido que hasta entonces solo suponía privilegios empezó a ser también una fuente de resquemores y hasta un estigma. A lo largo de cinco décadas, los descendientes del dictador han vivido mil y un escándalos, aparte de dos entierros. El primero, en el Valle de los Caídos, fue seguido de un largo peregrinaje por el desierto y de años de desunión por parte de la viuda, la hija y los nietos.

In Talkshows, in Bundestagsdebatten, am Abendbrottisch – überall wird über »Opfer« gesprochen. Doch zunehmend sind damit nicht Menschen gemeint, denen Unrecht widerfahren ist. Sondern solche, die die Harmonie stören, als verweichlicht gelten, andere herunterziehen oder sich über sie stellen wollen. »Opfer« – das ist längst ein Vorwurf geworden. Wenn Menschen nicht so viel jammern würden, heißt es, hätten wir nicht so viele Probleme. Was passiert in unserer Gesellschaft, wenn Sensibilität als elitär gilt, das »Recht des Stärkeren« dagegen als egalitär und authentisch?
