The Geopolitics of Fear


The intensified securitization of the borderlands between Europe and the Middle East/North Africa over the past decade has turned the Mediterranean Sea into a graveyard. This book delves into the most vulnerable, yet understudied, area of the EU's anti-immigrant security regime: the port cities in border zones on major refugee routes. Turam shifts the predominant focus from the global scale of fear to the urban scale of native–migrant solidarity in Greece and Sicily—Europe's two major entrance points in the East and Central Mediterranean. Building upon a rapidly growing scholarship on emotional geographies and affective geopolitics, Turam brings emotions to the center and emphasizes their role in forming, transforming, contesting, interrupting, and even evading the securitization of migration. Within the context of rising racism, nativism, and Islamophobia, readers will discover surprising and inspiring acts of day-to-day resistance to securitization empowered by a sense of safety and local trust, as well as cooperation between municipalities, pro-migrant locals, and asylum-seekers. Uncovering how racialized migrants become the catalyst of transformation from the violent legacy of borderlands to peaceful resistance, the ethnography reveals how intense emotions affect pro-migrant practices, contribute to the formation of safe places, and open the way for dynamic Black and Muslim migrant activism and solidarity at Europe's racial borders.

Weimar Under the Palms


The story of the German exiles—and cultural titans—who settled in Pacific Palisades and influenced American culture.    In the early twentieth century, Pacific Palisades was home to America’s most modern film studio of the time as well as the proposed site of the world’s largest Christian center. But by the end of the 1920s, the Los Angeles neighborhood had become the refuge of the rich and beautiful as German and Austrian filmmakers, among them Salka and Berthold Viertel, settled there. They were soon followed by cultural and intellectual giants of the Weimar Republic who were fleeing Europe, such as Max Reinhardt, Hanns Eisler, or Max Horkheimer. These great minds turned Pacific Palisades into a “Weimar under the palm trees.” Though many were successful in exile—including Vicki Baum, Thomas Mann, and Lion Feuchtwanger—others felt as if they were in a “sun prison” far from home.   Recounting a story of glamor and great minds, Thomas Blubacher tells of the history of German-speaking exiles that is still alive there today, going on a foray through the film industry, taking us on a journey to this special place that was so recently devastated by fire. Many of the homes in this book have now gone, but Marta Feuchtwanger’s Villa Aurora and the Thomas Mann house still stand as a testament to luck, resilience, and history.

Fight Oligarchy


Today, Trump's USA is a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires. As inequalities grow starker and authoritarianism takes hold, people are deprived of both the basic necessities of life and the right to hold to account the ever-smaller number of corporations in whose hands wealth and power are vested. What's more, throughout the world, wherever you look it's the same: from Britain to Brunei, the rich have never had it so good. So, amid the wreckage of this broken system, where do we go from here? In this powerful, urgent book, Bernie Sanders shows us how. If we are to restore our democracies and build back societies for the good of all, he argues, we must start by questioning the fundamental moral values that underlie the dominant behaviour in our society today, by asking ourselves what wealth really means, and what we are really striving for: for our communities, for our children, for the future of our planet. Democracy, Sanders emphasizes, is not a spectator sport. If we are to bring about political revolution, we must all join the fight, in whatever way we can. As history shows us, when the ruling class divides us, we lose; when we stand together, we win. Let's do it.

Heart of a Stranger


Angela Buchdahl was born in Korea and grew up in Tacoma, Washington, the daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and Jewish American father. Profoundly spiritual from a young age, she felt a connection to God when only a child and felt the first stirrings to become a rabbi at age sixteen. Despite the naysayers and periods of self-doubt - would a mixed-race woman ever be seen as authentically Jewish and entitled to lead a congregation - she stayed the course, which took her first to Yale, then to rabbinical school, cantorial school, and finally to the pulpit of one of the largest, most influential congregations in the world. Today, Angela Buchdahl is revered by Jews and non-Jews alike for her invigorating, joyful approach to worship, and her belief in the power of faith, gratitude, and responsibility for each other, regardless of religion. She does not shy away from challenging topics, be it racism within the Jewish community to sexism she confronted when she aspired to the top job. Buchdahl has also been a sought-after leader and voice through some of the most challenging moments in recent history, from the murder of George Floyd to the hostage standoff in Colleyville, Texas to the horrors of October 7th. Buchdahl''s consistent message is that it is up to us to strive for a world of more humanity, especially in today''s challenging times. Angela Buchdahl has gone from outsider to officiant, from feeling estranged to feeling embraced - and she''s emerged with a deep feeling of being bound to a larger whole and mission. Here, she has written a book that is both a memoir and a spiritual guide for everyday living, which is exactly what so many of us crave right now.

Wisdom Takes Work


Wisdom depends on curiosity. It demands humility. It requires a willingness to learn from the past in order to overcome the obstacles of the present - and we need it more than ever. In this fourth and final instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday reveals a method of self-education that can be honed throughout our lives.

Playful


A designer, educator, and play expert calls for adults to add more fun, exploration, and imagination to their lives We are all born playful. But when we grow up, we learn to suppress this critical, hardwired instinct and our lives become ruled by ?getting things done.? As world-famous designer Cas Holman explains, this disconnection from our playful selves is hazardous to everything from our emotional wellbeing to our ability to problem solve and innovate. The emerging science of play shows that it sparks joy, wonder, creativity, and insight at any age. It is through play that we shape our identities and continue to evolve at every stage of our lives. We think we?re making room for play we join a pickup sports game, catch a new movie, or go out to dinner for fun. But here, Holman advocates for a deeper level of ?free play? through open-ended, unstructured activities that we become absorbed in with no obvious goal or purpose. The ways we can play are endless and what recharges us most is unique to each of us: whether it?s a piece of art we create, an entertaining conversation with a stranger, or an experiment to shake up a task we take for granted. Holman shows us how to adopt a playful mindset and incorporate everyday moments of play into all areas of our lives so that we can destress, recharge, connect with each other, and grow as creative individuals. The power of play can buffer us in bleak times, and it can make our working lives far more fulfilling, helping us explore without fear of failure and consider new ways of thinking. Playful draws on psychology, history, art, and design thinking to make a powerful case for the vital importance of play for grown-ups in a world obsessed with productivity. Provocative, wise, and full of spirit, it will inspire you to (re) learn how to play.

Piaty začiatok


Nekonvenčný archeológ Robert Kelly pri pozorovaní evolúcie ľudstva počas 6 miliónov rokov našiel päť kľúčových „mutácií“ v ľudskej spoločnosti. Každá z nich znamenala zlomový bod, každý zlomový bod ohlasoval začiatok novej éry: „Technológia“ umožnila ľudstvu prevládnuť nad živočíšnou ríšou, čím sa začal prvý zlomový bod; „Kultúra“ nás urobila skutočne ľudskými a znamenala druhý zlomový bod; „Poľnohospodárstvo“ premenilo ľudstvo z nomádskych lovcov na usadených ľudí a iniciovalo tretí zlomový bod; „Národné štáty“ vtlačili civilizácii nerovnosť, násilie a vojny, čím znamenali štvrtý zlomový bod; Dnes stojíme na prahu piateho zlomového bodu. Celé ľudstvo sa podieľa na bezprecedentnej globálnej transformácii. Ľudská spoločnosť prechádza hlbokými zmenami, začína nová éra a my všetci sme jej súčasťou – nikto jej nemôže uniknúť. Prostredníctvom piatich začiatkov kniha osviežuje naše chápanie minulosti, prítomnosti a budúcnosti. Málokedy sa archeológ tak hlboko zaoberá budúcnosťou a ešte málokedy je vedec, ktorý sa tak hlboko zaoberá budúcnosťou, tak hlboko optimistický.

Barbaři


Římané po staletí pohlíželi na „barbary“ jako na nekultivované cizince ohrožující jejich moc a civilizaci. Zároveň však právě vymezování se vůči těmto nepřátelům formovalo samotnou římskou identitu – určovalo, jaké ctnosti, chování a hodnoty má mít ideální Říman. Od Gala Brenna přes Hannibala, egyptskou královnu Kleopatru či Spartaka až po germánské a hunské vůdce a mnohé další tato kniha ukazuje, jak tito cizí protivníci impérium nejen ohrožovali, ale zároveň ho významným způsobem spoluutvářeli.

Velké dějiny světa


Kniha Velké dějiny světa sleduje celý příběh vesmíru a Země - od velkého třesku přes vznik hvězd, galaxií a planet až po současnost. V souladu s moderním historiografickým konceptem "big history" nám autor představuje pohled na celých 13,8 miliardy let trvání kosmu z velkého odstupu, který umožňuje povznést se nad chaos lidských dějů a spatřit celkový tvar i směřování historie. My sami nestojíme v tomto příběhu na jeho začátku ani na jeho konci ? vynořili jsme se uprostřed vyprávění, jež bude pokračovat ještě dlouho poté, co zmizíme z povrchu zemského. Takový pohled v nás může vyvolat pocit nedůležitosti a pomíjivosti, také nám ale připomíná, jak zázračný a úžasný život je.
