صدر هذا الكتاب عام 1998، ويضمُّ مجموعة من أهم مقالات الدكتور مصطفى محمود التي تتناول مظاهر التدهور القِيَمِي والأخلاقي الذي تشهده الحياة المعاصرة نتيجة التطورات الفكرية والاجتماعية والسياسية، وكيف تحوَّل المشهد المعاصر إلى العنف والدموية والصراخ والتشنُّج، وكيف تسبب كل ذلك في الشقاء والإرهاق الذي أصاب الأغلبية العظمى من الناس. ومن ناحية أخرى يُقدِّم تحليلًا للمشهد السياسي الذي تقوم أمريكا بإخراجه وتنفيذه لصالح أجندتها الاستعمارية، من دعمها للوجود الصهيوني في المنطقة، وتمويلها للتطرف والإرهاب والأيدي الخفِيِّة التي تعبث من وراء الستار.

In March 1946, scientists began to track thousands of children born in one cold week. No one imagined that this would become the longest-running study of human development in the world, growing to encompass five generations of children. Today, they are some of the best-studied people on the planet, and the simple act of observing human life has changed the way we are born, schooled, parent and die. This is the tale of these studies and the remarkable discoveries that have come from them. Touching almost every person in Britain today, they are one of our best-kept secrets.

Why have Russian resorts sprung up in seaside towns in Northern Cyprus? What can Sarajevo's local politics tell us about Trump, Putin and Erdogan? How has the Syrian revolution turned the state into a new Cold War frontier? In Hinterlands, acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith reveals the...

Llegar a pisar la Luna, alcanzar el Polo Sur, ser capaces de captar y reproducir la voz o poder mandar un correo electrónico desde Barcelona hasta un bar remoto en la selva de Borneo en pocos segundos son logros de la humanidad que tienen un denominador común: la voluntad del Homo sapiens para cruzar fronteras que a muchos congéneres les habían parecido infranqueables. La idea de frontera implica que hay un más allá de ella; también sugiere una diferencia entre lo conocido y lo ignoto, entre la seguridad de lo cierto y el miedo de la incertidumbre.

Compulsive Body Spaces presents a spatial understanding of compulsion. Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

For readers seeking solutions to finally end the gun violence that kills tens of thousands of people each year in the United States— from a Harvard-trained trauma surgeon treating victims in Chicago If hope for ending gun violence can take hold in Chicago’s South Side, then it can take hold...

Come si fa oggi a stare nel mondo? In questo mondo. A trovare un modo, un posto adatto a noi che siamo consapevoli di essere privilegiati ma dobbiamo fare i conti anche coi nostri, di traumi, piccoli o grandi, oltre che con quelli giganteschi di chi è sotto le bombe, di chi è oppresso, povero, svantaggiato. Ci si vergogna a dire che ci si sente soli, ma lo siamo sempre di più. Daria Bignardi lo dice con sincerità, ironia, coraggio. Sente che la solitudine può essere una prigione ma anche un posto da cui ascoltare il battito del cuore del mondo. Il mondo la chiama e lei parte.

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.

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.

The United States is an exceptionally violent country, increasingly unable or unwilling to stem violence in its many forms. A growing corporate crime wave has gone unprosecuted and unpunished. Meanwhile, the country has doubled down on pursuing people accused of street and drug crimes and immigration offenses. Corporate impunity, the financialization of the economy, militarized policing, the burgeoning carceral state, and the forever wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere all have fostered corporate, economic, and state violence in America.

An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home. Acclaimed author and journalist Brian Groom reveals the colourful and often-contested history of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have...

«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.

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.

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.

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.

This book seeks to explores the entirety of the black man. It's a journey that gives us insight into what makes him who he is and why he has become the most desirable man to women from all races. It shares the intricacies of the black man and how that influences his person and relationships.

Few cities are so dramatically identified with their environment as San Francisco—the landscape of hills, the expansive bay, the engulfing fog, and even the deadly fault line shifting below. Yet most residents think of the city itself as separate from the natural environment on which it depends. In Our Better Nature, Philip J. Dreyfus recounts the history of San Francisco from Indian village to world-class metropolis, focusing on the interactions between the city and the land and on the generations of people who have transformed them both.

Über Jahrzehnte sind junge Frauen in der Musikindustrie benutzt und diskriminiert worden: Egal ob Fans, Groupies, Journalistinnen, Mitarbeiterinnen oder Sängerinnen selbst - der Mythos von Sex, Drugs und Rock’n Roll, das viele Geld und das extreme Machtgefälle haben sexualisierter Gewalt über alle Genres hinweg den Boden bereitet. Die Diskussion um die Vorwürfe gegen Rammstein-Sänger Till Lindemann zeigt: Diese Zustände brechen jetzt auf. Frauen wehren sich. Und sie finden endlich Gehör. Dieses Buch erzählt vom Machtmissbrauch in der Musikindustrie.

This book is a study of the relationship between revolution and terror. Historically, many have claimed that revolution inevitably devolves into terror, best reflected in the way in which after coming to power the revolutionary elite turns on itself, and one section of it uses terrorist means to eliminate another section. Graeme Gill argues that in order to understand the relationship between revolution and terror, it is necessary to distinguish between different types of terror.

When Dr. Tim Lewis was twenty-eight years old, his father shot his mother while she was sleeping in his childhood bedroom, and then he turned the gun on himself. As he sat in the hospital waiting room while his mother clung to her life, his friends and family seemed to have only one question for him: "Why?" This book is his attempt at an answer. While Daddy is the story of Dr. Lewis's trauma, substance abuse, and his lifelong dedication to PTSD research as a clinical psychologist, it turns out it is also the story of America and American men.

Identity politics occupies the front line in today’s culture wars, pitting generations against each other, and progressive cities against the rural traditions of our past. Rich in data and detail, Who Are We Now? goes beyond today’s headlines to connect our current reality to a larger more-than-human story. At the heart of the book is a set of surveys conducted between 2016 and 2021, asking thousands of anonymous respondents all over the United States questions about their behavior and identity, and especially about gender and sexuality.

Zeit der Zäune erzählt von Orten der Flucht, zu denen Katja Riemann allein und ohne ein Team an ihrer Seite reiste. Wo sind diese Orte und wie leben Menschen im Interim? Sie geht der Frage nach, ob Menschen in offiziellen Camps, inoffiziellen Dschungeln, im Warten und der Ungewissheit erfinderisch sind und gestaltend. Und begegnete erstaunlichen Personen und Situationen. Sie begleitete vor Ort die Projekte von Filmschaffenden, Theaterleuten, Traumatologinnen, Ärzten, Köchen und vielen anderen und schreibt einfühlsam mit dem Blick für Details über deren Ideen und Herausforderungen.

Is geography really destiny? Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration. Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours. In his punchy and authoritative book, Paul Richardson challenges recent popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how we see the world represented often isn't how it really is - that the map is not the territory.

Blending science and technology studies, sociology, and geography with a host of archival material, in-depth interviews, and ethnographies, The Politics of Maps explores how the geographical sciences came to be entangled with the politics, territorial claim-making, and nation-state building of Israel/Palestine.

Inspiring urban explorers and armchair travellers alike to consider a new way of understanding the world we live in, this unique atlas explores the modern world from surprising new vantage points. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even...

Long at the forefront of a movement advocating for gun reform as a matter of public health, Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl has been on constant media call in the aftermath of fatal shootings. But the 2018 Nashville killings led him on a path toward recognizing the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the impassioned complexities of American gun politics. As he came to understand it, public health is a harder sell in a nation that fundamentally disagrees about what it means to be safe, healthy, or free.

Migratie-expert Hein de Haas vertelt het ware verhaal over migratie en de effecten ervan Al jaren zorgt het debat over migratie voor verdeeldheid binnen de wereldpolitiek en inmiddels lijkt de kloof groter dan ooit. De media tonen bijna wekelijks beelden van gevaarlijke overtochten op de Middellandse Zee en politici beloven de toestroom van migranten en asielzoekers in te perken. Anderen beweren dat we immigranten juist hard nodig hebben om groei en innovatie te stimuleren. Maar wat zijn de feiten achter de krantenkoppen, de beweringen van politici en de beslissingen die zij nemen?

Die Auseinandersetzung um Migration und Integration, um Flüchtlings- und Asylpolitik ist angesichts des neuen Zuwanderungshochs wieder in vollem Gange. Gleichzeitig aber gibt es keine europäische Asylpolitik, sind die Außengrenzen der EU löchrig, geht die Bundesregierung von überzogenen Zahlen für die qualifizierte Einwanderung aus, werden die Alarmrufe der Städte und Kommunen kleingeredet, wächst das Unbehagen von immer größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung.

Cuando el asesino es el Estado: un libro durísimo, pero necesario, que recoge los desgarradores testimonios de las víctimas civiles de la violencia ejercida por las fuerzas de seguridad. "Esta es una guerra contra el pueblo de México. Se dice que es una guerra contra el crimen organizado, pero no. Nosotros pensamos que es una guerra contra el pueblo, porque es al pueblo al que han estado desapareciendo y matando".- Yolanda Morán, mamá de Dan Jeremeel Fernández Morán, desaparecido por el Ejército en 2008.

Gang violence and mass shooting prevention are critical issues in the contemporary world. It is first and foremost a matter of life preservation. These violent acts result in the unfortunate demise of innocent lives, and it is a fundamental responsibility to safeguard communities and individuals from the profound repercussions of trauma and violence by preventing their occurrence. Additionally, safeguarding the public is an essential component of society. Gang violence and mass shootings erode confidence in institutions and law enforcement by fostering an environment of terror and insecurity.

Urban survival focuses on keeping safe in your daily life as well as a crisis. It’s having a plan, and developing the skills needed to not just survive, but thrive in an urban environment. It is not a “prepper” mentality of waiting for a pending threat. It is accepting the fact that we live in turbulent times. Just watch the news. Every day there is a shooting, people being beaten, stabbed, pushed in front of oncoming subway trains, social unrest, and political threats. Forewarned is forearmed. Let’s get to that plan!

Glaciers figure prominently in both ancient and contemporary narratives around the world. They inspire art and literature. They spark both fear and awe. And they give and take life. In The Age of Melt, environmental journalist Lisa Baril explores the deep-rooted cultural connection between humans and ice through time.

On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees.
