'De prijs die we betalen' schetst in elf korte essays de (voor)geschiedenis van 7 oktober als een serie van desastreuze beslissingen van een nationalistische en alleen op machtsbehoud gefocuste regering, voor wie taal, cultuur en de vrijheid van het denken geen onbetwistbare waarden meer zijn. Is er onder deze deplorabele toestanden überhaupt nog een perspectief van een 'naast elkaar' denkbaar?

When a young Mary McAleese told a priest that she planned to become a lawyer, the priest dismissed the idea: she knew no one in the law, and she was female. The reality of what she went on to achieve - despite those obstacles, and despite a sectarian attack that forced her family to flee their home - is even more improbable. In this luminous memoir, Mary McAleese traces that astonishing arc: from the tight streets of north Belfast, to a professorship in Dublin while still in her twenties, behind-the-scenes work on the peace process, and two triumphant terms as President of Ireland.

Richard III is one of the most mysterious figures in English history, and as such is the source of perennial fascination. Comparatively little is known of his early life, his appearance, his interests, for up to 1483 he played second fiddle to his more glorious older brothers, Edward 'this sun of York', and the feckless Clarence. This new edition of a classic royal biography includes an account of the discovery of Richard’s remains in a Leicester car park in September 2012 and what his skeleton revealed about the physical condition of the last Plantagenet and the manner of his death.

In eighteenth-century Britain, Edmund Burke and Charles Fox made common political cause for twenty-five years. They supported the rebellious American colonies, attacked the British slave trade, defended religious liberty, and attempted to shield Britain's public credit from the crisis-prone East India Company. The two men did not share social position, a way of life, a political legacy, or even a generation—but improbably, they were friends.

From red books to black mirrors, mao.exe pulls back the screen on the world’s most advanced form of control: One that doesn’t need to be believed to work.
