Jews and the Italian Left
Alessandra Tarquini, an expert in Italian Fascism, untangles the complicated relationship between the Italian Left and Jews since the late nineteenth century. Due largely to indifference, and sometimes to antisemitism, Italian leftists consistently overlooked Jews in their visions for a collectivist future. Yet, from the birth of the Socialist Party in 1892 until 1992, when the heirs of the Marxist tradition dispersed or set out on a new path, questions continually arose in revolutionary efforts to remake the Italian state: Should Jews be seen as oppressed, and therefore welcome to participate in the struggle that would lead to the advent of a new civilization? Or might they hinder the realization of socialism because of their attachment to a religious identity? Tarquini’s research fills an important lacuna by analyzing the antisemitism of twentieth-century socialist movements. Crucially, however, Tarquini makes important distinctions between antisemitism on the Italian Left and Right, and identifies the relationship between leftism and antisemitism as a distinct formation.

How to AI
AI is nothing to be afraid of.
After all, AI is merely software.
It's great at some things and (at least right now) terrible at others. But for workers who take time to experiment with AI and develop expertise, AI will make them more productive and more creative, saving them time, giving them job security, and boosting their income.
In How to AI, Wall Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims introduces readers to people just like them who are at the forefront of using AI in the world of work. Imagine a freelance lawyer who suddenly has a whip-smart assistant to help her nail every deposition. Or a family-run construction company whose new software tool is automating construction bids that used to eat up hundreds of hours.
But even as half a billion people around the world have leapt at the chance to use ChatGPT and other tools, millions of us have stayed on the sidelines. Are you one of them? Maybe you feel you should be using AI tools, but you don't know where to begin. Or maybe you love AI but find yourself struggling to get your co-workers or employees on board. In How to AI, Mims teaches readers twenty-four simple but eye-opening "laws" of AI and how we should approach it, including:
• AI is an assistant, not a replacement.
• AI isn't creative, but it can help you be.
• Give AI your least favorite things to do.
• AI can't create finished products, but it's great at prototypes.
Animated by the wit and brilliant explanatory power that have earned Mims's Wall Street Journal columns a devoted following, How to AI will prepare readers to become a part of the AI revolution-and, most importantly, arm them with the tools to make it work for them.
World Politics
World Politics: A Critical Introduction to International Relations offers an engaging and accessible exploration of critical theories in international relations. Drawing on a rich array of narratives and perspectives, it provides a systematic introduction to feminist, queer, decolonial, and other critical approaches. The book examines how politics in the 20th and 21st centuries have been instrumental in creating, shaping, and perpetuating global hierarchies of power and status. It critically analyses how the Eurocentrism embedded in the international system is the result of deliberate, often violent, political actions aimed at establishing world order. These actions continue to influence daily lives and shape societies in profound ways. Complete with practical examples, case studies, and vignettes, this textbook is an essential resource for students seeking to decolonise, feminise, and integrate a broader range of critical perspectives into their study of international relations, history and politics.
The Islands and the Stars
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is among the six largest national space agencies in the world, along with China's CNSA, US's NASA, and Russia's Roscosmos. JAXA's budget is more than $1 billion USD—bigger than France or Germany individually, and more than that of Italy, India, Canada, and the UK combined. And yet, Japan's significant contributions have largely been absent in the history of space exploration, and space exploration largely absent in the history of technology in Japan. The Islands and the Stars corrects this conspicuous oversight. Through meticulous archival research in Japanese and anglophone archives, Subodhana Wijeyeratne examines the history of Japan's space exploration efforts over nearly a century. Wijeyeratne traces the evolution of Japan's space program from its early origins in the 1920s, through the postwar period of rapid technological innovation, to the consolidation of its various institutional elements into JAXA in 2003. He situates Japan's space programs within the broader history of the country's postwar recovery, economic growth, and cultural identity, while also considering their place within global trends in space exploration. Through this narrative, Wijeyeratne not only illuminates Japan's centrality to the global history of science and technology, but also offers insights into the future of global space exploration, emphasizing the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in the quest to understand our place in the cosmos.
Feeling at Home
Housing is more than bricks and mortar. Feeling at Home grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing - domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby shows that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It means revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.
George Templeton Strong: Civil War Diaries (LOA #396)
Based on the original manuscripts, this new annotated edition vividly captures the impact of the nation''s worst conflict on the Northern home front. George Templeton Strong (1820-1875) was perhaps the most trenchant civilian observer of the experience of the Civil War in the North. His diary, alternating between despair and exultation and punctuated by crises and explosive episodes, unfolds like a brilliant historical novel. Strong was particularly attuned to the shifting moods in the North, to what he called ''the great mass of selfishness, frivolity, invincible prejudice and indifference to national life'' that hampered the Union war effort. His eyewitness accounts - whether of the 1863 Draft Riots, field hospitals teeming with wounded men, or his meetings with leaders such as Grant and Lincoln - are remarkably vivid and suffused with novelistic detail. And while Strong''s reflections on the war and the political situation are valuable because they often reflect ''the pulse of public opinion'' in the North, as the historian James M. McPherson writes, they also reveal the singular intelligence of an extraordinary writer whose views - above all toward President Lincoln - evolved over the course of the war. Carefully selected and rigorously faithful to Strong''s handwritten diaries, this Library of America edition presents an entirely new transcription of Strong''s text, superseding the only previous version, published in 1952 and now long out of print.
The Global Casino
The global market in money - housed in the offshore 'shadow' banking system - holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation's taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world's savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of globalized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpredictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and governments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

Texty k dekonstrukci. Práce z let 1967–1972
Je-li Derridova diferance zároveň odstupem, spacializací, a odkladem, temporalizací, pak nám sama nabízí způsob, jak po letech číst jeho rané texty, jejichž výbor se českým čtenářům dostal do rukou poprvé v roce 1993. Znovu a znovu nás vtahují do hry, která není o nic méně podivná a podivuhodná než dřív, neboť význam se při ní rodí z diferencí, trhlin v prostoru i čase, které rozrušují zdánlivě pevnou a kompaktní tkáň našeho světa a jazyka. Dekonstrukce je nevyhnutelným krokem k tomu, abychom se dokázali znovu stvořit. Podobni plavcům ve studené vodě se noříme do živlu, jenž je nám cizí, abychom se stali jinými, aniž bychom se rozpadli nebo rozpustili.

The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw
Wyatt Outlaw’s story was one of Black success: He was a Union League leader, business owner, and the first Black town constable and commissioner in Graham, a small town located in North Carolina’s Alamance County. But in 1870, Outlaw was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan, setting off a dramatic series of events: more lynchings, a Republican-led “war” against the Klan, and a white supremacist crackdown on Black political power that continues today. As a child, Black activist, musician, and Graham native Sylvester Allen frequently passed the site where Outlaw was killed without ever learning his name. Belle Boggs, white and also from the South, taught high school in Alamance County without knowing Outlaw’s importance. Allen and Boggs both sought to discover why Outlaw had been erased from mainstream history books. In The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw, they share what they found in artful detail and connect Outlaw’s story to the violence against Black people in Alamance and throughout the United States, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow, the civil rights era, and Black Lives Matter. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and their own personal stories, Allen and Boggs join the conversation begun by historian Peniel Joseph and activist William Barber II about a third Reconstruction in America, but they also offer ways to move forward for any community struggling with a history of racism.
Traitor
The story of John Dunn Hunter's remarkable life, tragic betrayal, and disgraceful murder. John Dunn Hunter was many things: a frontier hero, a writer, a celebrity at home and abroad, and, ultimately, the victim of a deadly conspiracy. Born to white parents in 1800, he was captured as a young child by the Kickapoo and later raised by the Kansa and then the Osage. As a young man, he left his Osage family and crossed the Mississippi into the United States, where he became an ardent and persuasive voice in favor of Indigenous sovereignty in the face of western expansion and the removal of native populations. In this gripping biography, Andy Doolen chronicles Hunter's compelling life and disgraceful murder. Often referred to as the "white Indian," Hunter published a gripping account of his life story and held court with esteemed figures of his day, from Presidents Jefferson and Madison to the Duke of Sussex and visionary reformer Robert Owen. But advocating for the rights of Indigenous people and nations painted a target on his back. Officials in the War Department accused him of being an imposter and the author of a hoax, but Hunter never had the chance to defend himself. He was in Texas at the time, one of the leaders in a pan-Indian movement for sovereignty, when he was assassinated in the infamous Fredonian Rebellion. Although Hunter could not have known it at the time, he was at the vanguard of a movement for an inclusive vision of democracy that embraced Indigenous rights and humanity rather than excluding and denying them. Hunter's story is a stark reminder of the work that still must be done to fulfill the promises of the American experiment.
Abolitionists and the Politics of Correspondence
Argues that letter writing enabled a disparate and politically marginal assortment of abolitionists to take shape as a mass movementAbolitionists and the Politics of Correspondence examines how opponents of slavery harnessed the power of letter writing to further their political aims, arguing that this practice enabled a disparate and politically marginal assortment of people to take shape as a coherent and powerful movement. Mary T. Freeman fuses a political and social study of abolitionists with a focus on letter writing and epistolary culture. Through the analysis of correspondence, Freeman portrays abolitionism as a mass movement, made up of participants from a wide range of backgrounds, and she emphasizes the diversity of the movement's geography, membership, and political activities. The book highlights everyday Americans' involvement in abolition, shifting focus away from the affluent and publicly prominent white leadership. It pays particular attention to those who used letters to intervene in politics when other avenues were closed to them, especially women and Black Americans. Freeman expands scholarly understandings of abolitionism by showing how letters enabled activists to transmit information and ideas across long distances in a relatively secure format and how they connected people who otherwise would remain strangers. Correspondence also provided a means of political expression to people on the political fringes and disfranchised persons. Even antislavery leaders and those whose social positions were seemingly secure often used the semi-private medium of correspondence strategically. Letter writers could hone their ideas beyond the purview of public audiences, or, when private letters became public, cultural norms granted their contents a stamp of authenticity and directness. Abolitionists and the Politics of Correspondence concerns not just what people wrote about but also how they wrote about it: how they manipulated, exploited, and subverted cultural conventions to make political statements and claims.

Truth
A clear-eyed look at thinking straight in a world crowded with noise, bias, and misinformation. "Fake news." "Alternative facts." "Post-truth." Misinformation is everywhere, sparking public confusion and polarization. In Truth, best-selling author Michael Shermer cuts through the noise to argue that not only does truth still matter—but also that it's essential to our individual and collective flourishing. This sharp-sighted and accessible book provides a framework for thinking more clearly in an age clouded by doubt and distortion. Shermer, the author of Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational, explores why truth deserves our attention, how falsehoods take hold in the public's imagination, and how we can resist manipulation through reason, evidence, and open inquiry. This book introduces powerful tools for evaluating claims, including the concepts of causality, correlation, and Bayesian reasoning. Beyond these abstract ideas, Shermer also examines how we determine truth in specific domains—such as science, history, and religion—and brings clarity to hot-button topics like UFOs, conspiracy theories, miracles, mystical experiences, consciousness, morality, God, and even existence. With his trademark wit and intellectual rigor, Shermer reveals how even the most intelligent among us fall prey to such pitfalls as "myside bias" and motivated reasoning and how a commitment to universal realism can help push back against tribalism and misinformation. Truth offers a timely antidote to cynicism and confusion. It emphasizes critical thinking and urges readers to rebuild the intellectual foundations of a functioning democracy by embracing the pursuit of truth, however complex or inconvenient it may be.
What''s True About You
“Insightful and powerful ideas from a world-famous therapist!” —Carol Dweck, New York Times bestselling author of MindsetBreak free from your past, embrace the true you, and unleash your brightest future A lot of us have been trying to “fix” ourselves for a really long time. We’ve spent years “working on ourselves” and analyzing our past to try to get beyond it. We assume that once we understand why we are the way we are and heal all the wounds of our past, we’ll finally be free to live the lives we yearn to be living. Yet healing and transformation are two different domains. The truth is that while healing your past can certainly save your life, it won’t necessarily change your life. In What’s True About You, licensed therapist and New York Times bestselling author Katherine Woodward Thomas reveals a revolutionary way to leave behind a painful past and grow into the abundant and fulfilling future you desire.In this book, Thomas guides us through her radically effective, life-altering seven-step process. This process liberates us from the false beliefs we have about ourselves—born of past pain—and empowers us to begin living and loving as our true selves. The version of ourselves we’ve always sensed we could, and should be. We no longer need let our past define or limit what’s possible. Instead, by following Thomas’s groundbreaking and refreshingly inspiring protocol, we can change who we are today. We can manifest the positive possibilities we hold for a bright and beautiful future for ourselves and for our world.
Riziková společnost, 4. vydání
Kniha Ulricha Becka Riziková společnost patří k nejvýznamnějším knihám, které byly v posledních více než třiceti letech na toto téma napsány. Ovlivnila nejen řadu dalších myslitelů, ale celý způsob uvažování o tomto problému. Pro mnohé se stal Beck zosobněním zcela nového přístupu sociologie k ekologii. Jeho práce reflektují existenci mezí růstu a snaží se ukázat, jak se tato skutečnost promítá do charakteru moderní společnosti, jak je zároveň tímto charakterem spolupodmiňována a stále znovu reprodukována. Beckova koncepce rizikové společnosti ve světové sociologii zdomácněla, tím spíše, že je spjata s podnětným vstupem do probíhající debaty o skutečné povaze modernity a o celkovém smyslu procesu modernizace. Jako doslov je v knize otištěn text přednášky Ulricha Becka World Risk Society Revisited z února 2002.

This powerful tool shows that emotions, moods and behaviours are all infectious and can profoundly impact our health and wellbeing for good or bad.
In this enthralling book, discover the superpower of "interpersonal synchrony" and its extraordinary benefits so you can learn how to detect and encourage this phenomenon when beneficial, and "desynchronise" from others when it is not.
