Brought to you by Penguin. The team at YouGov reveal how public opinion really works – and reveal that we’re not as divided as we think. Are anti-democratic authoritarians really on the rise? Is British politics actually more polarised than ever before? And do Britons genuinely hold strong...

Over the past five years, medical aid-in-dying (also known as assisted suicide) has expanded rapidly in the United States and is now legally available to one in five Americans. This growing social and political movement heralds the possibility of a new era of choice in dying. Yet very little is publicly known about how medical aid-in-dying laws affect ordinary citizens once they are put into practice.

Nesta nova temporada, Apartheid Tropical narra como, diante do fracasso das promessas constitucionais, a população negra precisou se reorganizar e reinventar a resistência.

Race isn’t real. But it changed the world. This book is the full history of how, and why, we made it up. From ancient tribal instincts to Enlightenment pseudoscience, from slavery and empire to redlining and algorithmic bias, Black and White walks through the invention of race as a system: where it started, how it spread, and why it still shapes everything. Biology didn’t create race. Power did. And the only way to dismantle the system is to understand how it was built. Brutal, clear, and global in scope, Black and White is a bullet through the myth and a blueprint for seeing through the lie.

For centuries, people have argued about whether humans are moral animals—good or bad, cooperative or competitive, altruistic or selfish. The debates continue today, dressed up in the language of modern science. In this book, Jonathan R. Goodman makes the case for synthesizing the two sides. Drawing on insights from anthropology, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, he argues that rather than being fundamentally cooperative or competitive, we are capable of being both—and of exploiting each other when there is an opportunity to do so.

Our society is constantly made to serve the needs of two systems: technology and capitalism. Neither exists outside humans, but both are treated as above and beyond us. The Mechanic and the Luddite offers the critical tools needed to deconstruct these systems—how they work, whom they work for, and what work they do in our lives. With signature style and energy, Jathan Sadowski presents a provocative one-stop shop for understanding the political economy of technology and capitalism.

Die Jahre zwischen den großen Kriegen gelten bis heute als die wichtigste Epoche der modernen deutschen Geistesgeschichte, und an keinem Ort verdichtet sich die geistige Produktivität dieser Zeit auf so einzigartige Weise wie in der Universitätsstadt Marburg.

Leben in einer männergemachten Welt schlaucht: angefangen bei ungleichen Job- und Gehaltsaussichten über fragwürdige Sprach- und Schönheitsnormen bis hin zu gravierenden Ungerechtigkeiten in Medizin oder Sexualität. Fundiert und unterhaltsam zeigt Evelyn Höllrigl Tschaikner, was kleine Gesten, alltägliche Handlungen und leicht umsetzbare Strategien bewirken. Eine Form der Revolution im Kleinen, die zeigt: so nicht.

Angry: One Black Woman’s Playbook for Surviving Stereotypes and Saving Her Sanity is not a rage-fueled manifesto—it’s a revelation. With her signature blend of humor, honesty, and holy side-eye, author India Trotter dismantles the “angry Black woman” stereotype and exposes what’s really beneath it: exhaustion, boundary violations, microaggressions, and the constant demand to be “strong” even when breaking.

Aquí, Adrián Chávez pone su experiencia en la lingüística y en la divulgación al servicio de desenmarañar el entramado de fake news, teorías conspirativas y pseudociencias que pueblan el entorno digital, donde las certezas se multiplican como cabezas de Hidra. Estas páginas —más que un dedo acusatorio— son la pausa antes de dar clic en un titular: una exploración de qué se dice y cómo, de quién enuncia y con qué fin, de la diferencia entre malinformar y desinformar, y de cómo la posverdad se delata con la lengua.

BLACK MAN CAN’T DO is a bold, unfiltered journey into the life of a Black man navigating the raw, demanding world of heavy equipment operations—an industry built on muscle, precision, and an unspoken racial divide. James A Rietz exposes the truth behind the construction fences, where bulldozers, cranes, and excavators roar—and so do centuries-old stereotypes. As the only Black face on many job sites, James didn’t just learn how to move earth—he learned how to move mountains of doubt, prejudice, and exclusion.

Do you ever feel like making friends as an adult is harder than it should be? You’re not alone. In today’s world, millions struggle with loneliness, shallow connections, and social isolation—but building genuine friendships is absolutely possible with the right strategies.

In the 1970s, scientist John B. Calhoun created a “mouse utopia.” A world without hunger, disease, or danger. Food was endless, water was clean, shelter was plentiful. It was meant to be paradise. Instead, it became a nightmare. Violence, neglect, and sterility spread until the entire colony died out. The project became infamous as Universe 25—a chilling lesson about the dangers of comfort without purpose.

La obra más emotiva de Julia Navarro es un homenaje lleno de amor y ternura por los animales. Aquellos que han vivido con un perro saben que su presencia aligera los días y los llena de felicidad. Amigos fieles, cariñosos e inteligentes, cada instante a su lado supone una lección de todo lo que merece la pena ser aprendido. Es posible rastrear el especial vínculo entre perros y hombres desde el principio de los tiempos, pero uno de los ejemplos más hermosos y emocionantes lo encontramos en la Odisea.

Unsere Umwelt wurde von Männern für Männer gestaltet. In Das Patriarchat der Dinge öffnet Rebekka Endler uns die Augen für das am Mann ausgerichtete Design, das uns überall umgibt. Und sie zeigt, welche mitunter lebensgefährlichen Folgen es für Frauen hat. Unsere westliche Medizin ist beispielsweise – mit Ausnahme der Gynäkologie – auf den Mann geeicht: von Diagnoseverfahren und medizinischen Geräten bis hin zur Dosierung von Medikamenten. Aber auch die Dummys für Crashtests haben den männlichen Körper zum Vorbild – und damit das ganze Auto samt Airbags und Sicherheitsgurten.

In The Racial Wealth Gap, Baradaran outlines two tectonic forces that have driven apart the economic fortunes of white and Black families: wealth creation for white Americans, who have been systematically receiving financial subsidies in the century and a half since emancipation, and wealth destruction for Black Americans—either by vigilante violence or by official means, such as allowing Black banks to collapse or building highways through segregated Black communities.
