The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval.

Veinticinco años después de la publicación de su primer libro, Malcolm Gladwell retoma las lecciones de El punto clave con la intención de iniciar un debate difícil sobre las epidemias. Es el momento de reconocer nuestro papel en su génesis y ser honestos acerca de todas las formas sutiles y a veces ocultas en las que intentamos manipularlas. Necesitamos una guía sobre los patógenos y contagios que nos rodean.

Sucesso no Brasil, com mais de 100 mil exemplares vendidos, Ryan Holiday traz em seu novo livro um verdadeiro tratado sobre a coragem, uma virtude celebrada ao longo dos séculos, mas que parece estar em perigo de extinção. Nada é possível sem ela. Nada que valha a pena se alcança sendo covarde. Então por que a bravura é tão escassa? Numa época em que muitos de nossos políticos, líderes e artistas parecem incapazes de defender o que é certo ou mesmo falar a verdade, a coragem se faz ainda mais necessária, e o futuro depende da nossa decisão.

Verbrechen aus "Ehre": Hintergründe und Strategien zur Prävention. Obwohl sogenannte Ehrenmorde nur einen kleinen Teil der Tötungsdelikte hierzulande ausmachen, erschüttern sie uns besonders, wir sind kaum in der Lage, sie rational und emotional zu verstehen. Der Gedanke, einen womöglich sogar nahestehenden Menschen zu ermorden, nur um die vermeintliche Familienehre zu erhalten oder wiederherzustellen, macht uns rat- und fassungslos.

For too long, under the influence of corporate giants and tech enthusiasts, we’ve accepted the idea that change always means better. But rapidly developing technology isn’t neutral – it’s ambivalent, and capable of enormous harm. To improve our well-being, help future generations flourish and recover our shared humanity, we must become more critical, mindful users of technology, and more discerning of how it uses us.

In Talk, Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks shows how simple changes in how we communicate can enhance our relationships, our performance at work and our lives; who we talk to affects our happiness; and how to talk across differences.

A autora constrói sua argumentação sobretudo a partir dos textos norte-americanos fundadores da ética do cuidado e de três grandes eixos: as novas vozes a serem ouvidas em um mundo tão plural e a constatação das desigualdades de gênero; o cuidado para com a vulnerabilidade e as grandes dependências; e a reivindicação de políticas públicas para a promoção de uma igualdade real entre mulheres e homens e dos novos regimes de proteção.

With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

Lewis Mumford (1895 - 1990) is an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer.

Un llamamiento a involucrarnos cívicamente para tomar las riendas de nuestro futuro. Los ciudadanos tendemos a culpar al Estado, al mercado o a cualquier otra entidad abstracta cuando estamos insatisfechos. Los actores económicos, ocupados únicamente en la maximización del beneficio propio, no tienen ninguna motivación racional para interrogarse por el bien común. Asimismo, los poderes públicos se desentienden de las consecuencias finales de sus acciones.

Madness, sexuality, power, knowledge—are these facts of life or simply parts of speech? In a series of works of astonishing brilliance, historian Michel Foucault excavated the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and the way we think. The Archaeology of Knowledge begins at the level of things aid and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal. A summing up of Foucault's own methodological assumptions, this book is also a first step toward a genealogy of the way we live now.

Un sincero y revelador análisis de las posibilidades energéticas de nuestro futuro.
