Why are behaviors associated with masculinity increasing the risk of illness, injury, and premature death among young men? What makes these men vulnerable to substance misuse, interpersonal violence, and suicide? How can recovery look like? This book draws on more than eight years of recurrent ethnographic fieldwork in urban South Africa to answer these globally urgent questions from a systems perspective.

In his best-selling Darkest England, Idries Shah asserts that the English hail from a little-known place called "Hathaby", but their roots go back much farther, perhaps to the distant Asian realm of Sakasina. Once a nomadic tribe of warriors, the English fled westward, bringing with them epic tales, traditions, and an Oriental way of thought.

Democracy is, by its very nature, often rude. But there are limits to how uncivil we should be. In the 2010 edition of Rude Democracy, Susan Herbst explored the ways we discuss public policy, how we treat each other as we do, and how we can create a more civil national culture. She used the examples of Sarah Palin and Barack Obama to illustrate her case. In a new preface for this 2020 edition, the author connects her book to our current highly contentious politics and what it means for the future of democratic argument.

The Basques live in a modestly small, triangular-shaped country that straddles the farthest northeastern portion of Spain and the southeastern portion of France. While some live outside this area today, many still call this region home. These hardy people have dwelt in the foothills of the jagged Pyrenees Mountains since prehistoric times, and they’re still there to this day.

From this perspective of the multifaceted social world, it is crucial to bear in mind that it was written from a type of historical and panoramic bird's-eye view in 2006. As telling as it is arousing, it leaves in its wake compelling implications for the future.

Every get the feeling that your company culture is completely insane? That your organisation is inherently dysfunctional and seems to emphasize pointless drama over getting work done? The good news is that you’re right: Your company’s culture is screwed up. The bad news is that most everyone else’s company culture is throwing sparks too. Culture is the product of the people that you work with, and people are...really quite interesting, given all the ways that well-meaning people can screw things up.

Si scriveranno tante storie della pandemia, ma questa è una controstoria. Diranno che siamo vittime, ma non siamo senza colpe. Diranno che l'isolamento ci ha salvato, ma è stato una selezione. Ha tagliato fuori gli anziani." "Stiamo attraversando un'epidemia e curiamo quelli che costano meno, lasciamo perdere i vecchi, perché costano di più. Distinguiamo tra le morti 'inaccettabili', perché i pazienti sono giovani e intelligenti, e le morti 'accettabili', perché i malati sono vecchi, hanno altre patologie, o sono dementi.

Questo libro inizia con un episodio dell'Eneide: il naufragio dei Troiani sulle coste di Cartagine (nei pressi dell'odierna Tunisi, nel canale di Sicilia) mentre sono diretti in Italia. Enea e i suoi vengono accolti dalla regina Didone in nome dell'umanità e del rispetto verso gli dèi, perché le frontiere si chiudono di fronte agli aggressori, non ai naufraghi. Scrive Bettini: "Ci sono troppi dispersi nel mare che fu di Virgilio, troppi cadaveri che fluttuano a mezz'acqua perché quei versi si possano ancora leggere solo come poesia. Sono diventati cronaca".

Con "El legado de los monstruos" Ignacio Padilla quiere pensar el poder de los miedos para proyectarse en imágenes. Analiza entonces los artefactos y maquinarias que caracterizan a esa producción de los temores en la mitología, la ficción literaria y otras representaciones sociales. De ahí surge la idea de un "mercado pánico" como lugar de cruce en una economía del miedo ("recurso escandalosamente renovable"). Y se plantean las preguntas: ¿Por qué desde hace milenios consumimos tantos espantos reelaborados? ¿Qué motivaciones traen a nuestras vidas?

Bestseller nacional e internacional, este libro explora las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y han mejorado nuestra comprensión de lo que significa ser "humano".

Hace 13.000 años la evolución de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzó a tomar rumbos diferentes. La temprana domesticación de animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en el Creciente Fértil, China, Mesoamérica y otras zonas geográficas otorgó una ventaja inicial a sus habitantes. Sin embargo, los orígenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganadería son solo una parte de la explicación de los diferentes destinos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con más probabilidades de desarrollo, supervivencia y poder bélico.

La guerra eterna entre lo masculino y lo femenino que marcó el origen y el devenir de la civilización, desde la revolución agrícola hasta la industrial, desde las antiguas mitologías hasta las estrategias de comunicación masiva, desde los tiempos lejanos en que la divinidad era mujer hasta la guerra de los dioses en que los hombres tomaron el poder. Paz en la guerra de los sexos es un viaje a través de la historia y del universo, desde las profundidades más místicas hasta las más mundanas.

Robert Greene versteht es auf meisterhafte Weise, Weisheit und Philosophie der alten Denker für Millionen von Lesern auf der Suche nach Wissen, Macht und Selbstvervollkommnung zugänglich zu machen. In seinem neuen Buch ist er dem wichtigsten Thema überhaupt auf der Spur: Der Entschlüsselung menschlicher Antriebe und Motivationen, auch derer, die uns selbst nicht bewusst sind. Der Mensch ist ein Gesellschaftstier. Sein Leben hängt von der Beziehung zu Seinesgleichen ab.

Rudolf Eisler stellte schon vor über 100 Jahren fest: "Die organisierten Massen haben zu allen Zeiten eine wichtige Rolle im Völkerleben gespielt, niemals aber in solchem Maße wie heute. Die unbewusste Wirksamkeit der Massen, die an die Stelle der bewussten Tatkraft der einzelnen tritt, bildet ein wesentliches Kennzeichen der Gegenwart." Eine Masse von Intellektuellen ist nicht besser als eine Masse von Proletariern. Eine Masse ist immer nur Gefühlen und einfachen Parolen zugänglich, niemals der Logik.
