Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully.

Charlotte is a tale of one city, a meditation and inquiry into the inner life of one Southern metro of 2.6 million. It is also a story of life in cities across America.

This book calls it Soul, referring to Sense of Place, Home, the universal and innate need of people to form attachment to and shape where they live.

This book explores the ethical, psychological, and existential tensions between the will to live and the desire to let go in extreme conditions of suffering.

Through reflections on assisted suicide, biological compulsion, resistance, and the burden of consciousness, the text challenges the sanctity of survival as a universal good.
