On aurait tort de considérer le XIXe siècle comme lointain ou révolu. Sur bien des points, comme l'intense politisation des sociétés européennes, la diversité des pratiques de mobilisation et de contestation, l'inventivité idéologique et culturelle, la réflexion critique sur la modernité et le progrès, cette période est un laboratoire riche d'expériences et d'enseignements. Restituer les grandes dynamiques et tensions politiques qui la traversent permet non seulement de mieux comprendre les formes du changement historique, mais aussi de se repérer dans un présent incertain.

How was it possible for one woman, later joined by a handful of others, to overcome a large organisation and bring about a gender equality sea change in higher education in her country? This is the story of how the granddaughter of Ireland's most famous suffragette won a gender discrimination case for lack of promotion, the first such win in either Ireland or the UK; then donated her €70,000 award to five other women, also passed over in that promotion round, for their High Court case.

How did "the West" come to be used as a collective self-designation signaling political and cultural commonality? Was the idea handed down from the ancient Greeks, or coined by nineteenth-century imperialists? Neither, writes Georgios Varouxakis in The West, his ambitious and fascinating genealogy of the idea. "The West" was not used by Plato, Cicero, Locke, Mill, or other canonized figures of what we today call the Western tradition. It was not first wielded by empire-builders.

Desde el nacimiento de la Quinta República el Estado francés ha librado una guerra latente contra parte de su población. Los jóvenes de los barrios obreros que son descendientes de la inmigración poscolonial sufren una repetida operación diaria de "desinfantilización": no son tratados como niños sino como amenazas a la supervivencia del sistema. ¿Cuántos de ellos murieron a causa de esta "desinfantilización"? ¿Cuántos fueron asesinados impunemente por la policía? ¿Cuántas madres han llorado ante los tribunales a sus hijos víctimas de crímenes racistas?

من لم يندهش عندما شاهد المعابد المهجورة في أنغكور وات أو مدن المايا التي تلفها الأدغال، ويتساءل: "هل يمكن أن نلقى المصير نفسه؟". في هذا الكتاب المثير للاهتمام، يتحرّى جارد دياموند ـــ الذي أحدث كتابه (أسلحة وجراثيم وفولاذ) ثورة في فهمنا للتاريخ ـــ كيف أن استعمال

A riveting, real-life thriller about 1983 - the year tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union nearly brought the world to the point of nuclear Armageddon. The year 1983 was an extremely dangerous one - more dangerous than 1962, the year of the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the United States, President Reagan vastly increased defense spending, described the Soviet Union as an "evil empire," and launched the "Star Wars" Strategic Defense Initiative to shield the country from incoming missiles.

The West wasn’t conquered. It self-destructed. The Reich You Deserve is a ruthless postmortem of a dying civilization — not killed by invasion, but by its own cowardice, comfort, and delusion.

Nicolas Machiavel (Niccolò Machiavelli en italien) est né en 1469 à Florence, en Italie, à une époque marquée par les troubles politiques et les luttes de pouvoir entre les grandes cités-États italiennes. Fonctionnaire et diplomate de la République florentine, il a voyagé à travers l’Europe et observé de près les pratiques des cours princières et des gouvernants de son temps. Ces expériences ont profondément nourri sa réflexion sur le pouvoir, la politique et la nature humaine.

As much a sweeping story about lost worlds as it is a philosophical inquiry, Indignity shows what it is like to make choices against the tide of history. Through reports of communist spies, court depositions, anecdotes and characters that live on in Ypi’s memory, we move between “now” and ”then”, fact and fiction, what we learn from archives and what we can imagine, to reckon with the injustices of the past. By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity is a meditation on the fragility of truth, both personal and political.

Este libro le invita a explorar la historia de los mecanismos del poder, desde las intrigas de las cortes reales hasta las revoluciones que han dado forma a nuestras democracias contemporáneas. Al adentrarse en este libro, descubrirá las luchas por la influencia que han cambiado el curso de las civilizaciones.

Is America Doomed? Uncover the Hidden Forces Driving Our Decline and How We Can Still Reverse It. Is America on the brink of total collapse? Are we witnessing the final days of a once-great superpower? The Death of America: Understanding the Age of Decadence holds the answers you need. This shocking book pulls back the curtain on the hidden forces unraveling the very fabric of American society—forces that threaten to plunge the nation into irreversible decline if left unchecked.

The United States is in a partisan gridlock. As our constitutional principles erode away and the decline of civic engagement threatens the foundation of American democracy, navy veteran turned preservation leader Michael Bedenbaugh presents a compelling vision for the future of our country.

En El Libro Secreto de la Propaganda , Alejandro Llantada explora las poderosas técnicas detrás de los mensajes que mueven masas y transforman sociedades. Desde líderes políticos hasta marcas icónicas, quienes han alcanzado el éxito duradero lo han hecho siguiendo principios fundamentales que ahora puedes descubrir. No importa si cuentas con millones de dólares como los partidos políticos o apenas una idea y una hoja en blanco como Lenin o Lutero: el poder de la propaganda está al alcance de cualquiera que se atreva a dominarlo.

The Lie We Refuse to End is not a book of predictions. It is a map of the collapse we’ve already chosen. In these essays, Elias Winter names the invisible machinery of decline: fiscal illusion, moral cowardice, linguistic decay. With piercing clarity and prophetic calm, he dismantles the polite lies of empire and reclaims language as an instrument of truth.

Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective reading of Italian Fascism or National Socialism.

In the popular imagination, lethal injection is a slight pinch and a swift nodding off to forever-sleep. It is performed by well-qualified medical professionals. It is regulated and carefully conducted. And it usually provides a "humane" death. In reality, however, not one of those things is true. Secrets of the Killing State pulls back the curtain on this clandestine punishment practice, presenting a view of lethal injection that states have worked hard to hide. Botched executions are a part of this story, but they are just the tip of the iceberg.

Gough Whitlam: charismatic, inspirational, a trailblazer. There has been no one like him in our nation's public life - a dynamic and visionary leader determined to modernise Australia, who ushered in a new era and left a lasting legacy. But Whitlam's immense self-belief, mistakes and misjudgements, blunders and blind spots were truly Shakespearean and help explain his downfall.

Российская государственность и внешнеполитическая стратегия появились не вдруг и не по воле конкретного властителя или правящей династии. У них не было одного автора-демиурга, они – результат череды усилий, вереницы сменявших друг друга побед и неудач. Борьба с даннической зависимостью от Золотой Орды постепенно перетекла в наступление на прежних захватчиков, а отражение крестоносной агрессии на Балтике незаметно сменилось уже русским давлением на западных соседей. Разделить хронологически эти этапы международных отношений Русских земель практически невозможно, но к концу XV в.

The Middle East is in upheaval: a widening chasm between state and society, the failure of governing elites to address citizens' genuine grievances, massive economic mismanagement—all made worse by repeated interventions by Western powers. Why has political change been so difficult to achieve? In The Great Betrayal, Fawaz Gerges argues that the convergence of political authoritarianism, meddling by the West, and the effects of prolonged regional conflicts have produced political paralysis and economic stagnation.

Nach der vorgezogenen Bundestagswahl geht es an die Regierungsbildung, zu der die FDP, die die Ampel-Koalition letztlich zum Platzen gebracht hat, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr gebraucht wird. Aber was ist mit den Grünen, deren klimaneutral moralisierende Besserwisserei mit Hang zum Staatsdirigismus längst zur Bedrohung des Wirtschaftsstandorts Deutschland geworden war? Gar mit der SPD, die eben noch gar nicht wusste, wo ihr der Kopf steht und ihn deshalb in den Treibsand vergangener Klassenkampfzeiten steckte?
