A clear-eyed look at thinking straight in a world crowded with noise, bias, and misinformation. “Fake news.” “Alternative facts.” “Post-truth.” Misinformation is everywhere, sparking public confusion and polarization. In Truth, best-selling author Michael Shermer cuts through the...

Un giorno non ci saremo più. Ma rimarranno online tutte le tracce che abbiamo lasciato, la nostra storia a portata di click: dai profili social ai nostri ricordi più intimi. Senza accorgercene, Internet si è riempito di fantasmi digitali, account inattivi pronti a ricordarci la loro esistenza: ecco cosa significa vivere (e morire) nell'era social. Il lutto non è più un'esperienza privata: si è espanso nel mondo virtuale esattamente come tutto il resto, ridefinendo la nostra relazione con la perdita e la memoria.

Evangelicalism in America has cracked, split on the shoals of the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath, leaving many wondering if they want to be in or out of the evangelical tribe. The contentiousness brought to the fore surrounds what it means to affirm and demonstrate evangelical Christian faith amid the messy and polarized realities gripping our country and world. Who or what is defining the evangelical social and political vision? Is it the Gospel or is it culture?

A call to courage from a soldier who refused to stand by as antisemitism surged and Western values came under siege. The world is shifting. Antisemitism is on the rise.

When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

OM C. Parkin führt in den weiten Raum innerer Stille. "Es ist dieses Innerste, das Bewusstsein selbst, welches die Welt absorbiert, transzendiert – anstrengungslos. Es ist nichts einfacher, als loszulassen und einzukehren in dich selbst. Du kennst diesen Ort, er ist dir nicht fremd, er ist dein Zuhause. Es ist deine Seele, die dein Zuhause ist. Folge diesem Ruf, der leise ist, schweigsam, still."

Pop culture does more than entertain us. At its best, it is a mirror—maybe sometimes a distorted fun house mirror—reflecting back to us beauty, absurdity, and profound truth of what it means to be human. These musicians, actors, writers, and producers often sit in the prophet's chair and...

Tretton år gammal söker Sara tillflykt hos den elva år äldre Jesper, som är vän till familjen. Hennes hemförhållanden är trassliga och Sara är ung och skör. Hos Jesper finner hon trygghet, och för första gången upplever hon att någon lyssnar på henne och bryr sig om henne. Tills hon en natt vaknar utan kläder, med honom över sig. På en enda natt förstörs allt. Men det som Sara försöker se som en engångsföreteelse, ett misstag, händer plötsligt igen, och igen, och igen. Sara skäms och mår dåligt, och för varje gång Jesper våldtar henne växer hennes hat.

Albert Bandura’s ideas about the methods people use to avoid feeling guilty about harming others have led to valuable insights about many forms of mass violence, from wartime atrocities to terrorism and genocide. Happy Meat, Humane Animal Research, and Other Myths applies these insights to another form of mass violence: the many ways people harm animals. Each of the first eight chapters discusses how people use a particular method of moral disengagement to feel better about harming animals.

There is a question that every human civilization has asked independently, in its own language, through its own mythology and ritual and architecture. No culture discovered it from another. No migration carried it. It arose, separately, in every corner of the inhabited world.

The current school system churns out millions of illiterates and mental zombies—but here's how we're going to fix it, starting today. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents across the nation grapple with a new and horrifying understanding of just how bad our educational system has become. It all adds up to a system that seems hopelessly, terribly, and irrevocably broken.

Der brutale Terroranschlag der Hamas vom 7. Oktober ist zu einer Nagelprobe politischer und moralischer Haltung weltweit geworden. Das Schweigen der deutschen Linken und der Jubel muslimischer Einwanderer, die Unterstützung der Palästinenser durch die Klima-Aktivistin Greta Thunberg, die abgerissenen Plakate der Entführten in London, das Entsetzen der Politiker, die die Aufnahmen der Täter gesehen haben–viele Gewissheiten hat der 7. Oktober erledigt. In Deutschland–selbst in Deutschland–zeigt sich der Antisemitismus wieder so offen, dass man vermuten könnte, er wäre nie weg gewesen.

The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line.

Women have made up roughly half of the college-educated workforce for years, and before the onset of the economic crisis of 2020, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the labor force was the lowest on record. But women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status. The endurance of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress? Ammerman and Groysberg focus on the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions that create gender imbalance.
