Claudine Gay's resignation on January 2, 2024, as Harvard University's first Black president, after only six months on the job, sent shock waves across the world.

In 1972, New York Representative Shirley Chisholm broke the ice in American politics when she became the first Black woman to run for president of the United States.

In A More Perfect Party, MSNBC political analyst Juanita Tolliver presents a path to people-centered politics through the lens of this soiree.

Johnson and his secretary of defense, Robert McNamara, made choices central to US strategy in Vietnam, ending in defeat.

Fully updated chapters continue to address how technology and increasing levels of education have exposed people to more information than ever before. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues. Over the past several years, the rise of populism and conspiracy theories have taken this to new levels. All voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism.

Un análisis sagaz de la crisis de los relatos y las narrativas políticas contemporáneas. ¿Qué relación guarda la política con la ficción? ¿Por qué decidimos creer en ciertas ideas políticas en lugar de en otras? ¿Cómo influye la ideología en nuestra forma de imaginar el futuro individual y colectivo?

Since the work's first appearance in 1832, it has been enjoyed throughout the world, and has stimulated generations of soldiers, political leaders, and intellectuals.

The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.

Spanning four sections, the manifesto traces class struggles, critiques the bourgeoisie, reviews socialist and communist literature, and examines the position of communists relative to opposition parties.

William Shakespeare understood power: what it is, how it works, how it is gained, and how it is lost. In The Hollow Crown, Eliot A. Cohen reveals how the battling princes of Henry IV and scheming senators of Julius Caesar can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court—with intrigue and conflict rivaling those on the Globe's stage—as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity.

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.

Die bekannte Kabarettistin Lisa Fitz sagt über das brisante Buch: "Ich habe das Vorwort für "Die Jahrtausendlüge" zugesagt, weil ich Heiko Schrangs Bücher kenne. Ob es "Die Jahrhundertlüge" oder 'Das Geheimnis der Weltstars – zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn' ist, sie lesen sich spannender als viele Krimis – sie sind wahre Thriller.

Sie werden sich bestätigt fühlen – oder Sie werden fassungslos sein, weil Sie wach werden und Ihr inneres Schaf den Wolf in sich entdeckt."
