Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend. Mit dem Ziel, die Welt besser zu verstehen und der lebensweltlichen Enge zu entfliehen, gehen sie zwischen Frankfurt, Paris, London, Berkeley und New York neue Wege, die direkt zu den großen Bruchlinien unserer Gegenwart führen.

Hubert Humphrey was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office, he has been largely overlooked by biographers. Historian Arnold A. Offner has explored vast troves of archival records to recapture Humphrey's life, giving us previously unknown details of the vice president's fractious relationship with Lyndon Johnson, showing how Johnson colluded with Richard Nixon to deny Humphrey the presidency, and describing the most neglected aspect of Humphrey's career.

Mit gespenstischer Klarsicht nahm Aldous Huxley schon 1946 unsere Gegenwart vorweg: Durch technologischen Fortschritt konzentriert sich politische Macht plötzlich in den Händen weniger. In Zeiten gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs haben Nationalismus und geopolitische Machtspiele Hochkonjunktur, während Demokratie und Solidarität leiden. Stilistisch brillant beschreibt Aldous Huxley das aufziehende Zeitalter einer Tech-Oligarchie – einer Welt, in der Boy Gangsters in den Regierungen sitzen und das Recht des Stärkeren die Freiheit aller bedroht.

Der authentische Bericht des einzigen Überlebenden von Operation Red Wings. Auf einmal stand da eine Armee... SEAL-Team 10: eine Elitetruppe. Die Mission: einen Al-Qaida-Führer zur Strecke bringen.
