Trailblazing anthropologist Oliver Sweet has spent decades using cultural insights to help businesses, governments, and NGOs achieve their goals. Now, in The Rules That Make Us, Sweet shows us how to strengthen our own cultural intelligence. Drawing on research conducted in thirty-five countries, he maps culture’s hidden rules: how it governs our behavior and creates our assumptions, how it’s shaped by technology, and even how it can help us predict the future.

Pendant un mois, et jusqu'au jour du verdict du procès dit " des viols de Mazan ", un collectif d'anthropologues s'est installé à Avignon pour mener ensemble une enquête ethnographique inédite. Le parti-pris de départ était de considérer ce procès comme un " évènement ", concept fertile en sciences sociales – mais aussi en littérature comme l'a montré Annie Ernaux – pour mettre en lumière un basculement ou une pliure dans l'ordre des choses.

Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told that he was a ‘do-nothing’ because he lacked initiative. Dispirited and unemployed, it occurred to him that if he was so good at doing nothing, perhaps he could turn it into a business. And with one tweet, he began his business of renting himself out, to do nothing. In Rental Person Who Does Nothing, Morimoto chronicles his extraordinary experiences in his unique line of work and reflects on how we consider relationships, jobs and family in our search for meaningful connection and purpose in life.

As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the 18 months it's taken for a reality star to go from laughingstock to leader of the free world, Jon has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, experiencing it from a perspective that most of us could only dream of: he has flown aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and has even been described as 'a beauty' by none other than Donald Trump.

"Sapiens" retraçait l'histoire de l'humanité. "Homo deus" interroge son avenir. Que deviendront nos démocraties quand Google et Facebook connaîtront nos goûts et nos préférences politiques mieux que nous-mêmes ? Qu'adviendra-t-il de l'État providence lorsque nous, les humains, serons évincés du marché de l'emploi par des ordinateurs plus performants ? Quelle utilisation certaines religions feront-elles de la manipulation génétique ?

If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.

Imagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their rules, their societies and their futures. In reality, all-women communities have always existed, and continue to thrive all over the world. She also takes us into today's women-led spaces, where women live on their own terms, showing us how we can rethink society for new ways of living, working and collaborating, often with less of a profit-driven mindset and a deeper connection to ancestry and nature.

Homo Exul indaga en la pregunta de por qué, en un momento preciso de la historia, los homínidos dejaron de cooperar y comenzaron a mostrar conductas violentas. Defiende, además, que la mayoría de dolencias y enfermedades crónicas que hoy nos afectan (desde la obesidad hasta el alzhéimer) son consecuencia de ese mismo proceso evolutivo que, por fuerza, conllevó importantes cambios sociales y alimenticios en adultos, niños y lactantes. Lanza, además, una importante pregunta: ¿estamos a tiempo de revertir estas marcas evolutivas y convertirnos de nuevo en una sociedad cooperativa?

The Evolution of the Dragon by G. Elliot Smith is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins, symbolism, and diffusion of dragon myths across cultures. Blending anthropology, mythology, and comparative religion, Smith investigates how the archetype of the dragon emerged from ancient serpent-worship traditions and spread globally through cultural contact and migration.

We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive.

From the earliest cave paintings to the present day, humans and deer have a long and complex history. Royal harts were the coveted quarry of European kings, while the first Americans relied on deer for everything from buckskins to arrow heads. Once hunted to the point of extinction in some parts of the world, deer numbers have exploded in recent years, causing tension between scientists and conservationists. And yet, this is our own story, as the fortune of deer is inextricably bound up with the actions that we humans take on the world around us.

Humans are remarkable beings. We have mastered flight, cracked the genetic code, developed quantum mechanics and democracy, been to the moon, and may soon become a multi-planetary species. Yet, despite these unparalleled achievements, we can still be...pretty stupid.
