In an immersive and mesmerizing discussion, Cohn considers what makes societies (throughout history) collapse. All Societies Die points us to the historical examples of the Byzantine empire, the collapse of Somalia, the rise of Middle Eastern terrorism, the rise of drug cartels in Latin America, and the French Revolution to explain how societal decline has common features and themes. Cohn takes us on an easily digestible journey through history. While he unveils the past, his message to us about the present is searing.

In this remarkable and deeply felt book, Virginia Kerns uncovers the singular and forgotten life of a young Indian woman, who was captured in 1847 in what was then Mexican territory. Sold to a settler, a son-in-law of Brigham Young, the woman spent the next thirty years as a servant to Young’s family. Sally, as they called her, lived in the shadows, largely unseen.

Arbeit ist der Kern unserer modernen Gesellschaften. Das hat die Corona-Krise eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Doch warum überlassen wir ihr einen so großen Teil unseres Lebens? Und warum arbeiten wir immer mehr, obwohl wir so viel produzieren wie noch nie? Entspricht das unserer Natur? Warum fühlen sich dann immer mehr Menschen überlastet und ausgebrannt? James Suzman legt eine andere Geschichte der Menschheit vor, die zeigt, wie die Arbeit von uns Besitz ergreifen konnte.

Many millions of species have existed in Earth’s past. What distinguishes those which survive like humanity and those who don’t survive? And what is it about man’s ability to survive which has made us the dominant mammals on Earth? In this book, we look at the things man has done uniquely to succeed. This includes the use of fire for all of our existence as Home sapiens and much of our history as hominids.

Aí encontramos a explicação de nossa lentidão histórica e a postergação da ascensão social dos condenados à servidão.

Indigenous peoples have faced the end of the world before. Now, humankind is on a collective march toward the abyss. Global pandemics, extreme weather, and massive wildfires define this era many now call the Anthropocene. From Brazil comes Ailton Krenak, renowned Indigenous activist and leader, who demonstrates that our current environmental crisis is rooted in society’s flawed concept of “humanity” - that human beings are superior to other forms of nature and are justified in exploiting it as we please.

In this most original examination of America's post-9/11 culture, Susan Faludi shines a light on the country's psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, Faludi unearths a barely acknowledged but bedrock societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. Why, she asks, did our culture respond to an assault against American global dominance with a frenzied summons to restore "traditional" manhood, marriage, and maternity?

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.
