An examination of the Scientific Revolution that shows how the mechanistic world view of modern science has sanctioned the exploitation of nature, unrestrained commercial expansion, and a new socioeconomic order that subordinates women.

The Western world is undergoing a dramatic demographic shift. By 2020, for the first time in history, the number of people aged 65 and over will outnumber children aged five and under. But our systems are lagging woefully behind this new reality. In Extra Time, Camilla Cavendish embarks on a journey to understand how different countries are responding to these unprecedented challenges.

In How to Draw a Map, father and son cartographers Alexander and Malcolm Swanston demonstrate the skill, creativity and care involved in the timeless art of creating maps - and what these artefacts reveal about the legion of mapmakers who went before us.

Human history mirrors the history of climate change. Human origins, for example, can be traced to five million years ago when the climate of East Africa became progressively hotter and drier. This caused the lush tropical jungles to disappear and be replaced by arid plains and savannahs. Our pre-human ancestors learned to exploit those new ecosystems by gathering the seed-bearing grasses, nuts, and tubers that thrived in these semi-arid conditions. Also, by foraging in the heat of the day, proto-humans could minimize unwelcome contact with nocturnal predators.

In How to Lose the Hounds, Celeste Winston explores marronage—the practice of flight from and placemaking beyond slavery—as a guide to police abolition. She examines historically Black maroon communities in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, that have been subjected to violent excesses of police power from slavery until the present day.

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.”

الكراهيةُ ثقافةٌ تخاطبُ الجانبَ الغرائزيَّ والانتماءات الأولية قي الإنسان، كالقبلية والطائفية والمذهبية والقومية الضَّيقة، وتنمي وتغذي مشاعر البغضاء فيه. وحسب تصور المؤلف، فإنها محصلةٌ لكل الصِّفات والعناصر السَّيئة التي تشكل تمايزًا وفروقًا بين النَّاس، كالتَّعصب والتَّطرف والطَّبقية والتنميط والإقصاء والتَّخوين والتكفير والإستعلاء.

Apoyado en entrevistas con psicólogos, abogados, activistas y mujeres sobrevivientes, expone el vacío legal que rodea a este crimen, el desconocimiento de servidores públicos cuando una mujer trans desea arreglar sus documentos, la brutalidad de policías que las agreden y el silencio desdeñoso de la población cuando son lastimadas en las calles o en sus viviendas.

More people traveled internationally in 2019 than in any year in history. After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders. For the first time, governments took the same tools that have been used against less privileged migrants and asylum seekers and turned them on citizens from countries that had long enjoyed relatively unfettered travel—and sometimes on their own citizens.

This sweeping account confronts and upends old fantasies, revealing the far more startling reality of our world's largest hot desert. Drawing on decades of research, and years spent living in the region, anthropologist Judith Scheele takes us from Libya to Mali, Algeria to Chad, from the ancient Roman Empire to the bloody colonial era to contemporary regional battles and fraught international diplomacy, questioning every easy cliché and exposing fascinating truths along the way.

Veganism as an ethics and a practice has a recorded history dating back to Antiquity. Yet, it is only recently that researchers have begun the process of formalizing the study of veganism. Whereas occasional publications have recently emerged from sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, or critical animal studies, a comprehensive geographical analysis is missing. Until now.

" Une plongée vertigineuse dans les racines de la violence et dans les ravages du fanatisme. Et un vibrant plaidoyer pour que subsiste, même dans l'horreur, une part d'humanité. " Le Parisien week-end. Comment rester debout face à la violence, à l'horreur ? Comment regarder dans les yeux celui qui vous a enlevé ce que vous aviez de plus précieux ? Comment pardonner à l'assassin d'un des siens ? Comment garder espoir quand tant d'atrocités sont commises au nom de la religion ? Toutes ces questions qui nous assaillent dans une actualité toujours plus tragique, Colum McCann y a été confronté lors de sa rencontre avec Diane Foley.

أضحى العنف بكل صوره ظاهرة عامّة بين فئة الشباب، فأيَّن كانت مبرراته نجد لفئة الشباب حضور فيه، ويأخذ العنف عدة مظاهر، ينطبع بها السلوك الشبابي العنيف، ولهذا التنوع من العنف أسباب تقود إليه، كما وله نتائج أيضاً لن تكون إلا سلبيّة، كما وهناك حل لظاهرة العنف الشبابي، إن اتبعت خطواته بشكل فاعل ومتكامل من الجميع.

The Variable of Violence will review exactly that, the aggression, chaos, and tension that broils in and through us. Specifically, the seemingly endless battles we face in our journey to understand God, the purpose of work, those whom we associate with, and our own susceptibilities.

El destacado politólogo Yascha Mounk investiga el origen de las ideas sobre la identidad y la justicia social que están transformando rápidamente la sociedad norteamericana y la de los países occidentales, y nos explica por qué no lograrán alcanzar sus nobles objetivos.

We all know that at some point in life, we will experience pain, uncertainty and loss. Widowhood, redundancy, a life-changing diagnosis, pregnancy loss, or a global pandemic. So how can we weather the storms, and cope with whatever comes next? No one can answer this better than Lucy Easthope, an emergency planner whose job is to support survivors of major disasters. She has been there after countless earthquakes, fires and floods. Time and again she has watched how people rebuild: the work, the pitfalls and the fragile joy.

In today's modern world, we are largely isolated from the kind of savagery our ancestors faced on a daily basis. Although violence was as natural to our evolutionary development as sex and food, it has become foreign to most of us. At once demonized and glamorized, but almost always deeply misunderstood.

We are currently experiencing the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time. Across the world, from Ukraine to Sudan to Mexico, people are forced to flee their homes every day due to conflict, climate change and persecution. And devastatingly, the scale of this crisis is only predicted to get worse: by 2050, 1 in 10 people on earth will be displaced. Having met and interviewed hundreds of people impacted by migration, charity founder Jaz O'Hara shares 31 remarkable and inspiring stories, from refugees to volunteers working on the frontline: ordinary people with extraordinary experiences.

Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of "extracontinentales"—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States. Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes a narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants.

Most of us have enjoyed walking on a bridleway at some time, but we rarely stop to think about how these old routes came to be. These ancient networks criss-cross the British countryside and are so familiar to walkers and riders that they have become almost invisible as we meander our way along them. From atop a horse and on foot, Tiffany Francis-Baker provides listeners with a new perspective on bridleways and a glimpse into their intriguing history.
