Something has changed in the way we live. Not suddenly, not loudly — but everywhere. Our ambitions feel familiar, yet slightly rehearsed. Our pleasures are polished, but strangely thin. We keep moving upward without quite knowing who built the staircase. This book enters the rooms where status takes shape:
the gallery opening dressed as a social ritual, the office that feels like a stage set, the home improved until it resembles a photograph. It is a study of progress — and its quiet costs. A portrait of a civilisation that prizes momentum while forgetting to ask where it is headed.

عندما تكون مسلمًا وأسمك محمد، ثم تلد زوجتك طفلة جميلة فتعطيها أسمًا مسيحيًا هو "بولا" على اسم الراهبة التي وقفت بجوار الزوجة في معاناتها بالمستشفى القبطي لم يخف الزوج من جيرانه المسلمين ولا من وعيد وتهديد إمام المسجد بتكفيره أو على الأقل الحط من شأنه، هذا ليس دليلًأ فقط على عقل الأب المُتنور ولكنه عقل المجتمع المحترم الذي أوجده.. هذا المجتمع المصري الليبرالي الذي لم يكن فقط يقبل الاختلاف في الدين واللون والرأي بل يحتويهم أيضًا بمنطق الدين لله والوطن للجميع

Brûlé dans une voiture. C'est ainsi qu'est mort Brahim, le frère d'Amine Kessaci. En attendant le procès de ceux qui ont tué son frère, Amine prend la plume et entame un dialogue posthume avec Brahim. Il lui écrit une longue lettre d'amour, de douleur, de révolte, pour rétablir le lien qu'on leur a arraché. Amine refuse que son frère ne soit qu'une statistique, un fait-divers de plus. Il brosse le portrait d'un homme à la trajectoire brisée. Comment en est-on arrivé là ?

His Side brings previously silenced straight male perspectives to light with in-person interviews by psychologist and men's rights advocate Helen Smith, author of Men on Strike.

In The Racial Wealth Gap, Baradaran outlines two tectonic forces that have driven apart the economic fortunes of white and Black families: wealth creation for white Americans, who have been systematically receiving financial subsidies in the century and a half since emancipation, and wealth destruction for Black Americans—either by vigilante violence or by official means, such as allowing Black banks to collapse or building highways through segregated Black communities.

¿Es lo mismo ser una persona negra en Estados Unidos que en Europa? Sin duda, el racismo existe en todos los países y culturas, pero en cada nación los orígenes de la discriminación racial o sus consecuencias son diferentes al del resto de naciones.

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

¿Todo el mundo aspira a ser moderno? ¿En qué consiste lograrlo? Hace tiempo que expresiones como indie, hipster, cultureta, moderno y gafapasta son de uso corriente en nuestras conversaciones. Sus límites resultan borrosos, pero remiten a una realidad social que la industria cultural y las agencias de publicidad utilizan para designar un amplio segmento del mercado. Los hipsters son la primera subcultura que, bajo la apariencia de rebeldía, defiende los valores impuestos por el capitalismo contemporáneo.

Dr. Harold Weaver of the BlackQuaker Project asks Friends to look at societal problems through new lenses: confronting systemic violence with antiviolence; acknowledging institutional and systemic racism, rather than merely individual racism; considering a retrospective justice program that compensates for and helps remove the historical inequities related to the transatlantic slave trade, chattel slavery, and their legacies–Jim Crowism, other forms of dehumanization and exploitation, police brutality, and the school-to-prison pipeline.

Why can’t we seem to agree on facts? In this succinct volume, sociologist Joel Best turns his inimitable eye toward the social construction of what we think is true. He evaluates how facts emerge from our social worlds—including our beliefs, values, tastes, and norms—and how they align with those worlds’ standards. He argues that by developing a sociological perspective toward what we think we know, we can better parse the use of facts and untruths around us.

Unlock life's full potential by embracing the unavoidable. In a world that often shies away from its deepest truth, The Death Mindset dares to explore the profound paradox at the heart of human existence: that our awareness of death is not a source of fear to be avoided, but a powerful catalyst for living a richer, more meaningful life.

In Red vs. Blue, JJ cuts straight through the fog of American politics, tracing how we ended up with two massive political identities that nobody fully understands but everyone is expected to defend. This isn’t a policy book. It’s not a campaign book. It’s a book about labels, identity, and the long, messy history behind why the United States split itself in two.
