Терроризм—не просто ужасное зло, это одна из самых сложных проб­лем современности, решение которой человечеству еще предстоит найти. Джон Хорган, признанный эксперт в области психологии терроризма, в своей книге описывает механизмы, приводящие обычных людей на путь насильственного экстремизма. Их действия зачастую продиктованы разрушительной идеологией, которая оправдывает применение насилия во имя больших целей, однако мотивация террористов может казаться рациональными только им самим.

Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence.

Hate crimes are spiralling to an all-time high on both sides of the Atlantic, with minorities experiencing the largest increase in hostility towards their race, nationality, sexuality and religion since records began.

In Ukraine, such questions have been part of the daily calculus of life.

Everyday War considers where peace can be cultivated at an everyday level.

O indivíduo, a sociedade e o Estado é uma antologia de textos de Emma Goldman. Defesa intransigente da liberdade do indivíduo e crítica ferrenha à submissão ao poder estatal, o artigo que dá título ao conjunto já antecipava muitas das questões fundamentais do século XX, como a militarização estratégica dos EUA. A presente edição conta ainda com o posfácio do livro "My disillusionment in Russia" (1923), e "O comunismo não existe na Rússia", artigo publicado em 1935, no qual a autora critica o autoritarismo e a centralização de poder dos sovietes.

En este ensayo lúcido, directo y profundamente documentado, la periodista francesa Salomé Saqué radiografía el ascenso de la extrema derecha en Francia y Europa, desvelando cómo ha conseguido imponer su visión del mundo y debilitar los valores democráticos sin disparar una sola bala. Con una escritura ágil y valiente, la autora denuncia la eficacia de una estrategia cultural de fondo: la normalización del discurso del odio, el recorte de derechos y la banalización de lo inaceptable.

Despite its reputation as a carnival of vice, Tijuana, was, until recently, no more or less violent than neighboring San Diego. But then something changed. Over the past 10 years, Mexico’s third-largest city became one of the world’s most dangerous. Hundreds of women are now found dead in the city each year, or bound and mutilated along the highway that lines the Baja coast. When Dan Werb began to study these murders in 2013, rather than viewing them in isolation, he discovered that they could be understood only as one symptom among many.

What is the connection between a rise in the number of random attacks against Jews on the streets of France and strategically planned terrorist acts targeting the French population at large? Before the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan night club, and others made international headlines, Marc Weitzmann had noticed a surge of seemingly random acts of violence against the Jews of France. His disturbing and eye-opening new book, Hate, proposes that both the small-scale and large-scale acts of violence have their roots in not one, but two very specific forms of populism.

From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure. In Tropic of Chaos, investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe - the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's mid-latitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters.

Hate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Hate in the Homeland shows how tomorrow's far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms, and YouTube cooking channels.

WER HAT DIE MACHT ZU HASSEN? – Erkundung eines politischen Gefühls. Der Hass, dieses knirschende, zersetzende Gefühl, ist allgegenwärtig. Er brüllt von den Straßen oder flüstert in gutbürgerlicher Feindseligkeit. Er wächst in Parlamentsreden, Querköpfen und Kinderzimmern, und ganz bestimmt nicht im Verborgenen, auch wenn viele ihn gerne dorthin verdammen würden. Şeyda Kurt holt den Hass raus aus der Verbannung und begibt sich auf die Spuren seines widerständigen Potentials.

Fast täglich wird Sawsan Chebli mit Hasskommentaren und Online-Hetze überhäuft. Wenn sie sich auf Social Media äußert, in einem Interview oder mit einem Zeitungsbeitrag in die öffentliche Debatte einmischt; wenn sie sich, wie so oft, leidenschaftlich für eine diverse und inklusive Gesellschaft ausspricht, türmt sich die Flut an Hate Speech mitunter zu brutalen Shitstorms auf. Dass aus digitaler schnell körperliche Gewalt werden kann, erlebte sie ganz unmittelbar, als sie eines Tages mitten in Berlin von einem Unbekannten körperlich angegriffen wurde.

Two experts of extremist radicalization take us down the QAnon rabbit hole, exposing how the conspiracy theory ensnared countless Americans, and show us a way back to sanity.

There are two supreme predators on the planet with the most complex brains in nature: humans and orcas. In the 20th century alone, one of these animals killed 200 million members of its own species, the other killed none. Jeffrey Masson’s fascinating new book begins here: There is something different about us. In Beasts he demonstrates that the violence we perceive in the "wild" is mostly a matter of projection. We link the basest human behavior to animals, to "beasts" ("he behaved no better than a beast"), and claim the high ground for our species.

In queste pagine le storie di Maria Chindamo, Giulia Cecchettin e Saman Abbas diventano non solo testimonianze di orrori privati, ma anche denuncia di un sistema che troppo spesso si gira dall'altra parte o che, nella migliore delle ipotesi, fraintende, lasciando che le vittime diventino numeri in una statistica che cresce di anno in anno.
