The American university―one of the most successful institutions in human history―is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the US. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to other countries where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet, as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his account of the university's significance, in such dire times, one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for.

Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada.

Since the invasion of Ukraine and ban on foreign reporters, Russia seems to have sunk into an even deeper shadow than in the darkest times of the Soviet Union.

From Myanmar's highlands to the British Pennines, from slow travel between coffee plantations in Borneo to a cross-continent odyssey on African railways, from the pioneers of the American West to European trains in war, this is a new prism through which to explore human lives, and global landscapes, politics and history. The Untold Railway Stories is a testament to both the joy and impact of train travel - to the ambition and ingenuity, and also to destruction and sacrifice within its history - and is published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the first passenger railway line.

1834 veröffentlicht, prangert Georg Büchner darin mit scharfer Feder die sozialen Missstände seiner Zeit an – ein mutiges, eindringliches Plädoyer für Gerechtigkeit und Menschenwürde. Büchner analysiert die Kluft zwischen arm und reich, kritisiert die Unterdrückung der Landbevölkerung und ruft zum Widerstand auf. Trotz der Kürze ist der Text von immenser politischer Sprengkraft – und hat bis heute an Relevanz nichts verloren.

Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels formulierten im Jahr 1848 mit dem Kommunistischen Manifest eine radikale Analyse des Kapitalismus und seiner Widersprüche – verbunden mit dem Aufruf zur politischen Aktion.

Ein Klassiker der politischen Theorie – wortgewaltig, analytisch & historisch bedeutsam.

Leafing through photos from the January 6 insurrection, extremist researcher Noelle Cook was struck by how many women looked like her: middle-aged white women in puffy coats. Women were not on the fringes of the extreme right, she realized. They were radicalizing each other, and the pandemic was changing them. So who were the women of J6? And why did some of them believe in shape-shifting reptilians and the health benefits of colloidal silver?

Max Stirners Der Einzige und sein Eigentum erschien 1844 – und wirkt bis heute provokant. In einer Zeit politischer und religiöser Umbrüche formuliert Stirner ein kompromissloses Plädoyer für das Ich als einzig legitime Instanz. Alles, was über dem Individuum steht – Staat, Kirche, Moral –, erklärt er zum „Spuk". Ein radikaler Gegenentwurf zu Hegel, ein Vorgriff auf Nietzsche – und ein Werk, das den Individualismus in seiner schärfsten Form entfaltet.

Lo que está ocurriendo hoy en España es consecuencia de un pasado en el que no siempre hicimos las cosas bien. Rosa Díez resume en este libro los hechos tal y como ocurrieron para impedir que se altere la verdad, para que cada cual asuma la parte de responsabilidad que le corresponde, por acción o por falta de respuesta. Porque la historia no es solo lo que pasó, es también el análisis de por qué pasó. Por eso estas páginas son un testimonio de los acontecimientos y del comportamiento de quienes fueron —y siguen siendo— los protagonistas del tiempo político.

Non so come i nostri pittori non abbiano sentito il bisogno di tramandare ai posteri la faccia del fanatico! È una faccia che di tanto in tanto emerge dal mare dell’umanità, ma forse mai, nemmeno ai tempi della Riforma e Controriforma, con l’opacità, chiusura, assolutezza di questi ultimi vent’anni. I libri e le opere (leggi: distruzioni) di siffatti rapiti, entusiasti, obbedienti, disposti a tutto fuorché a tollerare, ragionare e amare, rimarranno senza dubbio come una grave testimonianza; ma tutti insieme i libri, i giornali, gli opuscoli, le distruzioni…
