The future of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and adjacent islands is in flux again – as it has been repeatedly for millennia. This book tells the story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these isles, along with their culture, languages and passions. It charts the kaleidoscope of overlapping and conflicting identities, along with the changing role of women and the stories of emigrants and immigrants.

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.

Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care.

Our odyssey begins in the little-known Sufi lodges in Cyprus, where Muslims arrived in 647AD. From there, we travel through the continent – visiting places such as Sicily, Malta, Portugal and Spain – encountering red-haired European Sultans and Arabic-speaking Christian Kings. We meet forgotten Muslim pioneers, such as Abbas Ibn Firnas who gave us flight and Ibn Sina who gave us modern medicine. We see the Islam-inspired mudejar art of fourteenth-century Christians in Spain, and how such cross fertilisation birthed Europe’s ‘Renaissance’.

Pedofilia, nekrofilia, kazirodztwo, flagelacja, sadyzm, brutalne gwałty, a także czarnoksięstwo, profanacja trupów, miłosne napoje – to tylko niektóre wątki bulwersującej książki Elwiry Watały. Chronologiczne ramy Wielkich zboczeńców są szerokie: od Egiptu faraonów po Rosję Putina. Autorka obnaża różne dewiacje seksualne władców i wielkich tego świata, także tych, których zwykliśmy uważać za wzór cnót. Nie osądza swych bohaterów, nie wnika w motywy ich postepowania, nie piętnuje i nie usprawiedliwia. Z porażającą brutalnością ukazuje perwersyjne oblicze ludzkiej natury.

Human geography offers answers to some of the most important challenges of our time. To understand contemporary struggles over global economic inequality, forced migration, racial injustice, gender justice, and the climate crisis, we must grasp the ways in which these are fought over and through space.

Police Against the Movement shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds.

Young people worldwide face a grave crisis: the relentless assault on their innocence through normalized pedophilia, sex trafficking, forced prostitution, and ruthless violence. Countless children vanish into a vast, malevolent system, while many remain unaware or indifferent. Innocence Shattered exposes these dark realities, challenges the church to awaken from passivity, and calls readers to action.

The explosion of glee and sympathy for Luigi surprised everyone, but it was everywhere. Hours after the shooting of the United Healthcare executive, his company put out a message out on Facebook saying their “hearts go out to Brian’s family and all who were close to him.” People replied with laughing emojis and comments like this one: “No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That’s the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximize profits on your health.”

Our democracy has been purposefully dismantled, first in the states and now at the federal level. With groundbreaking original data and historical insights, Nations Apart is an essential guide to understanding why Americans are so divided on many hot button issues, creating geographic fissures that have been exploited by authoritarians. Colin Woodard shows how colonial era settlement patterns and the cultural geography they left behind are at the root of our political polarization, economic inequality, public health crises, and democratic collapse.

Despite the flames of record-breaking temperatures licking at our feet, most people fail to fully grasp the gravity of environmental overheating. What acquired habits and conveniences allow us to turn a blind eye with an air of detachment? Using examples from the hottest places on earth, Heat, a History shows how scientific methods of accounting for heat and modern forms of acclimatization have desensitized us to climate change.

Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization.

«Si fa presto a dire pace. Quando finisce una guerra, restano irrisolti innumerevoli problemi generati di norma da dettagli trascurati per ragioni di necessità. Anche quando è ben chiaro il confine che divide i vincitori dagli sconfitti, a chi sarà assegnato l'alloro per aver combattuto dalla parte del bene e chi sarà invece dannato come un'incarnazione del male.» Niente di più attuale, verrebbe da dire.

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.

Mountains, meridians, rivers, and borders—these are some of the features that divide the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less set in stone than we might believe, and, as Maxim Samson’s Earth Shapers contends, in our relatively short time on this planet, humans have become experts at fundamentally reshaping our surroundings.
