Als neuer Kanzler steht Friedrich Merz vor gewaltigen Herausforderungen. Die Feinde der Demokratie im Innern und Äußeren rüsten zum Sturm auf die liberale Ordnung. Der Wahlerfolg der AfD droht die politische Mitte zu sprengen. Mit Trumps Wiederwahl und Russlands Vormarsch wird sich Deutschlands Rolle in der Welt radikal verändern. Dazu muss der Kanzler meistern, woran schon die Ampel gescheitert ist: Wirtschaftskrise, Klimawandel, Migration und Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr.

In this book, renowned rhetorical scholar Robin Reames argues that, in today's polarized political climate, we should all care deeply about learning rhetoric. Drawing on examples ranging from the destructive ancient Greek demagogue Alcibiades to modern-day conspiracists like Alex Jones, Reames breaks down the major techniques of rhetoric, pulling back the curtain on how politicians, journalists, and "journalists" convince us to believe what we believe—and to talk, vote, and act accordingly.

A true collective account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. There are few days in American history so immortalized in public memory as November 22, 1963, the date of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

An energizing case for hope about the climate comes from Rebecca Solnit, called “the voice of the resistance” by the New York Times, and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua, along with a chorus of voices calling on us to rise to the moment. Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers. As the contributors to this volume make clear, the future will be decided by whether we act in the present—and we must act to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests, and political obduracy.

Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology, published in three parts from 1794, was a best seller in America, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival. Promoting a creator-God while advocating reason in the place of revelation, Paine’s controversial pamphlet caused his native British audience, fearing the results of the French Revolution, to receive it with more hostility than their American counterparts.

Zum Ende ihrer Amtszeit hat Angela Merkel ihre wohl größte Herausforderung zu bestehen. Doch die Kanzlerin, die in Notsituationen oft zur Hochform aufgelaufen ist, gerät in dieser Krise an die Grenzen ihrer Autorität. Die Pandemie, so Robin Alexander, ist dabei nur ein weiteres, spektakuläres Kapitel in einem noch größeren Drama: dem Ende einer ganzen Ära. In seinem neuen Hörbuch erzählt der Bestsellerautor die Geschichte hinter den Kulissen: vom harten, langen Kampf in den inneren Machtzirkeln der Republik und vom Showdown um Merkels Nachfolge, der die Union fast zerreißt.

Most people can tell you two things about Clarence Thomas: Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment, and he almost never speaks from the bench. Here are some things they don’t know: Thomas is a Black nationalist. In college he memorized the speeches of Malcolm X. He believes white people are incurably racist. Corey Robin - one of the foremost analysts of the right - delves deeply into both Thomas’s biography and his jurisprudence, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches.

Die Grenzöffnung für Flüchtlinge im Herbst 2015 hat das Land gespalten - die einen preisen Angela Merkels moralische Haltung, die andern geißeln die Preisgabe von Souveränität. Doch was als planvolles Handeln erscheint, ist in Wahrheit eine Politik des Durchwurstelns, des Taktierens und Lavierens, befeuert von hehren Idealen und Opportunismus. Robin Alexander zeigt, dass die politischen Akteure Getriebene sind, zerrieben zwischen selbst auferlegten Zwängen und den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen.

To some, it is the voice of the nation, yet to others it has never been clearer that the BBC is in the grip of an ideology that prevents it reporting fairly on the world. Robin Aitken, who spent 25 years working for the BBC as a reporter and executive, argues that the Corporation needs to be reminded that what is 'fake' rather depends on where one is standing. This punchy polemic galvanises the debate over how our licence-fee money is spent and asks whether the BBC is a fair arbiter of the news, or whether it is a conduit for institutional liberal left-wing bias.
