After the collapse of the Soviet Union, six US presidential administrations of both parties pursued policies for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia that emboldened Russia, playing into its imperialist, centuries-long mythos of regional hegemony. The result: military aggression and full-scale invasion. It was all too foreseeable. In The Folly of Realism, leading national security expert and bestselling author Alexander Vindman argues that America’s mistakes in Eastern Europe result from policymakers’ fixation on immediate, short-term problem-solving and misplaced hopes and fears.

In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.

America was once a country that did big things—we built the world’s greatest rail network, a vast electrical grid, interstate highways, abundant housing, the Social Security system, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and more. But today, even while facing a host of pressing challenges—a housing shortage, a climate crisis, a dilapidated infrastructure—we feel stuck, unable to move the needle. Why?

In this trailblazing account of the Group’s origins and operations, John Lechner—the only journalist to report across its many warzones—brings us on the ground to witness Wagner partner with fragile nation states, score access to natural resources, oust peacekeeping missions, and cash in on conflicts reframed as Kremlin interests.

Tra israeliani e palestinesi chi ha torto e chi ha ragione? Chi sono i "buoni" e chi i "cattivi"? Gli israeliani, che "da vittime si sono trasformati in carnefici"? O i palestinesi, che "non vogliono altro che distruggere Israele"? E quando comincia il conflitto? A fine Ottocento, con la nascita del sionismo, negli anni Venti del Novecento o nel 1948, quando Israele viene attaccato dai paesi arabi "con l’obiettivo di annientarlo", o quando si verifica la "pulizia etnica dei palestinesi"? E perché la pace non è mai stata raggiunta?

Biasimare gli errori e stigmatizzare l’ignoranza sono considerate pratiche virtuose. Necessarie. Ma le cose, forse, non stanno proprio così. Prendendo spunto da aneddoti, dalla scienza, dallo sport, da pensatori come Machiavelli, Montaigne e Sandel, ma anche da Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee e Roger Federer, Gianrico Carofiglio ci racconta la gioia dell’ignoranza consapevole e le fenomenali opportunità che nascono dal riconoscere i nostri errori. Imparando, quando è possibile, a trarne profitto. Una riflessione inattesa su due parole che non godono di buona fama.

"The Other America: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Call for Economic Justice and Unity" is a powerful exploration of one of Dr. King’s most urgent and socially critical speeches. Delivered at Stanford University in 1967, The Other America goes beyond the struggle for civil rights and exposes the deep economic and racial inequalities that persist in society. In this audiobook, Dr. King’s vision unfolds against the backdrop of a nation divided—one of prosperity and privilege, the other of poverty and neglect.

Nel luglio 1965, le adolescenti Sylvia e Jenny Likens furono affidate temporaneamente a Gertrude Baniszewski, una madre single di mezza età, e ai suoi sette figli. La famiglia Baniszewski era sommersa di bambini. C'erano poche regole e ampia libertà. Purtroppo, l'ambiente creava una pericolosa gerarchia di darwinismo sociale in cui i forti predavano i deboli. Quello che accadde nei tre mesi successivi fu tanto avvincente quanto agghiacciante. Nell'ottobre del 1965, il corpo di Sylvia Likens fu trovato nel seminterrato di casa Baniszewski, dove era stata imprigionata.

La digitalizzazione sta da tempo interessando anche la sfera politica e gli sconvolgimenti che produce nel processo democratico e nelle nostre vite sono massicci, epocali. Storditi dalla frenesia della comunicazione a ciclo continuo, ci ritroviamo impotenti di fronte a un sistema che trasforma l'essere umano in una miniera di dati da estrarre. Il nostro modo di pensare e intervenire nel mondo, il nostro rapporto con la verità stanno inesorabilmente cambiando. Siamo apparentemente liberi, ma incapaci di discutere.
