Revolution for Christmas 2026: Learning from Che offers a powerful and timely examination of Ernesto “Che” Guevara's ideas—rooted in compassion, courage, and the belief that ordinary people can help shape a better world. Instead of presenting him as a distant historical figure, this work explores what his teachings can contribute to a time when democratic values feel increasingly strained and human rights are under growing pressure.

Die Lehrerin, die Noten nicht zur Ermutigung vergeben kann, die Ärztin, die Bildschirme statt Patienten behandelt, der Schiri, dessen Augenmaß vom VAR verdrängt wird: Unmerklich verändert sich in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft der Charakter unseres Handelns. Insbesondere im Berufsleben, aber zunehmend auch in der Freizeit zeichnen uns Richtlinien und Formulare, Algorithmen und Apps die Wege zur Entscheidungsfindung minutiös vor. An die Stelle situationssensiblen Überlegens und Urteilens tritt die konstellationsbasierte Vollzugslogik der Maschinen, mit denen wir tagein, tagaus hantieren.

Otage du cirque démocratique, Monsieur Moyen vote, râle, consomme, renonce. Il se résigne à son destin confisqué, à sa nation défigurée. Plutôt fuir qu’affronter ses responsabilités. Plutôt ramper que se battre. Le mal gagne donc par forfait.

It grounds you and launches you into the next level of your life. Whether it’s with family or friends, a boss or bandmate, this book frees you from your limitations so you can be your true, authentic self in any situation.

Why is social justice important, and why does social justice matter?Social justice and diversity have reached the collective consciousness in recent years, with celebrities and politicians alike wading into issues of everyday bias and discrimination. Only now have phrases like equity over equality, discrimination and disparities become mainstream in our vocabulary and consciousness. People finally talk about diversity oppression and change, and human rights for everyone.

Robert Greene hat eine ungewöhnliche, provozierende Enzyklopädie verfaßt und alle Spielregeln der Macht zusammengestellt, die immer und überall gelten.

The Rosicrucian phenomenon is perhaps the greatest "open secret" in the history of Western esotericism. Emerging from the mists of the early 17th century, it did not arrive as a settled institution, but as a series of lightning strikes in the form of anonymous manifestos. These documents claimed the existence of a secret brotherhood of sages, the Order of the Rose Cross, founded by a mythical figure known as Christian Rosenkreuz. The impact was immediate and chaotic.

The mythos of the American power elite is often centered on a windowless, Neo-Gothic brownstone on High Street in New Haven, Connecticut. This is "The Tomb," the windowless headquarters of the Skull and Bones, perhaps the most influential and misunderstood secret society in global history. Founded in 1832 at Yale University, it was never intended to be a mere social club. Instead, it was designed as a crucible for leadership, a place where the scions of the American Brahmin class would be forged into a cohesive unit of political, economic, and cultural influence.

Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal work, Sex and Repression in Savage Society, delves into the intricate dynamics of sexuality and societal control within primitive cultures. Published in 1927, this ethnographic study challenges prevailing Victorian notions of sexuality and sheds light on the nuanced ways in which indigenous societies navigate and regulate sexual behaviors. Malinowski's immersive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands enables him to provide a rich anthropological account, exploring the role of rituals, customs, and taboos in shaping sexual practices.

Two authors with decades of experience promoting human rights argue that, as the world changes around us, rights hardly imaginable today will come into being.

We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also hyper-technical times. As citizens who will elect future presidents of the most powerful and influential world, we need to know - truly understand, not just rely on television's talking heads - if Iran's nascent nuclear capability is a genuine threat to the West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be developed by terrorists, if there are viable alternatives to fossil fuels that should be nurtured and supported by the government, if nuclear power should be encouraged, and if global warming is actually happening.

Technology rules us as much as laws do. It shapes the legal, social, and ethical environments in which we act. Every time we cross a street, drive a car, or go to the doctor, we submit to the silent power of technology. Yet, much of the time, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by citizens and our elected representatives. Our embrace of novel technological pathways, Sheila Jasanoff shows, leads to a complex interplay among technology, ethics, and human rights.

Cohen shows how smart guys like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg fell in love with a radically individualistic ideal and then mainstreamed it. With these very rich men leading the way, unions, libraries, public schools, common courtesy, and even government itself have been pushed aside to make way for supposedly efficient market-based encounters via the Internet. Donald Trump's election victory was an inadvertent triumph of the "disruption" that Silicon Valley has been pushing. A society that belittles civility, empathy, and collaboration can easily be led astray.

Ever wanted to sound unbearably pretentious at dinner parties? Wondered how one French philosopher managed to make an entire career out of writing sentences no human being could understand? Curious why your literature professor keeps muttering about "the death of the author" while staring vacantly into space?

Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself - and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus.
