A fly-on-the-wall narrative of the Oval Office in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, using JFK’s secret White House tapes. On October 28, 1962, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove nuclear missiles from Cuba. Popular history has marked that day as the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a seminal moment in American history. As President Kennedy’s secretly recorded White House tapes now reveal, the reality was not so simple.

For all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue/red divide, we've ignored what economic and cultural loss can do to pride. What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks, when a proud people in a hard-hit region suffer the deep loss of pride and are confronted with a powerful political appeal that makes it feel "stolen"? Hochschild's research drew her to Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia, within the whitest and second-poorest congressional district in the nation.

After the United Nations established International Women's Year (IWY) in 1975, Congress mandated and funded state conferences to elect delegates to attend the National Women's Conference in Houston in 1977. At that conference, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and other feminists adopted a National Plan of Action, endorsing the hot-button issues of abortion rights, the Equal Rights Amendment, and gay rights - then a new issue in national politics.

Antonio Gramsci was born in Sardinia in 1891, became the leader of the Italian Communist Party in his early 30s, was arrested by Mussolini’s police in 1927, and remained imprisoned until shortly before his death 10 years later. The posthumous publication of his Prison Notebooks established him as a major thinker whose influence continues to increase. Fiori’s biography enlarges upon the facts of Gramsci’s life through personal accounts, and through Gramsci’s own writings to relatives and friends.

Living and dying with bravery and honor is at the heart of Hagakure, a series of texts written by an 18th-century samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo. It is a window into the samurai mind, illuminating the concept of bushido (the Way of the Warrior), which dictated how samurai were expected to behave, conduct themselves, live, and die.

Questa è una storia della filosofia liofilizzata, in modica quantità, per uso personale, come non ve l'hanno mai raccontata. È una storia vera, o almeno verosimile, divertente, irriverente e utile. Rende conto delle diverse correnti, sintetizza le riflessioni più brillanti in un pensiero stupendo, suggerisce le applicazioni pratiche, elenca i tifosi presunti, riflette persino sul valore di mercato delle diverse teorie.

O leitor é um bom julgador quando se alegra e quando se irrita. Ele existe como conceito e como comunicação real. Tenho quem me ame por princípio e, claro, desenvolvi os haters sistemáticos. A rigor, ambos me procuram e analisam. Um dos aprendizados da grande mídia é que a responsabilidade do autor sobre o texto é vaga. Solto ao ar, como pluma de cinco mil toques, desperta tudo ao sabor de um vento subjetivo. É um gesto de humildade do autor não querer dominar ou dirigir a hermenêutica do leitor.

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?

Obra-prima em termos de pensamento original e pesquisa, A era do capitalismo de vigilância, de Shoshana Zuboff, apresenta ideias alarmantes sobre o fenômeno que ela nomeou capitalismo de vigilância. Os riscos não poderiam ser maiores: uma arquitetura global de modificação comportamental ameaça impactar a humanidade no século XXI de forma tão radical quanto o capitalismo industrial desfigurou o mundo natural no século XX.

The judiciary has been the one sturdy dyke that has saved us from the excesses of rulers. But recent events remind us of the cracks that have formed: the quality of individuals apart, even the institutional arrangements that had been put in place to preserve the purity and independence of the institution the collegium, conventions governing the way cases are to be assigned among judges have frayed. These cracks provide a dangerous opportunity to political rulers to suborn this institution also.

No dia 15 de novembro de 1889, no Campo de Santana, no centro do Rio de Janeiro, o marechal Deodoro proclamava o início da nossa República. Éramos à época um país que havia abolido a escravidão recentemente, com a população de apenas 14 milhões de habitantes, dos quais 82% eram analfabetos e 90% viviam em áreas rurais.

De l'émergence d'homo sapiens à nos jours, cette brève histoire de l'humanité est délibérément tournée vers l'intelligence du monde tel qu'il se recompose sous nos yeux. Or, c'est dans les profondeurs les moins conscientes de la vie sociale, celles auxquelles Emmanuel Todd a consacré sa vie de chercheur, que gît l'explication de ce qui nous apparaît aujourd'hui comme le grand désordre du monde.

Taking his lead from his subject, Gershom Scholem - the 20th-century thinker who cracked open Jewish theology and history with a radical reading of Kabbalah - Prochnik combines biography and memoir to counter our contemporary political crisis with an original and urgent reimagining of the future of Israel.

Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? Radical Markets turns this thinking - and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against - on its head. The book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone.

A disturbing chronicle of the US government’s mistreatment of American soldiers and veterans throughout history, with a new introduction by Charles Sheehan-Miles.
