The Good Divorce
Essential perspectives and insights to get a divorce without devastation In The Good Divorce, author Karen McNenny shares her own divorce journey, teaching readers how to redefine relationship success and find peace in taking the best step for you and your family. She exposes how the divorce industry often sets families up to fail—from outdated FMLA policies that don't recognize divorce as a major life event, to ”divorce penalties” in insurance and banking, to a legal system that incentivizes conflict over cooperation—and reframes divorce as a family evolution instead of a failure. Above all, this book is a call to action—to reform the policies and practices that keep families trapped in destructive patterns, to challenge the assumption that divorce must be a messy event, and to create a new framework for how we handle relationship transitions. Readers will find insights and perspectives on: The concept of “relationship purgatory,” when you want to stay, but know it isn’t healthy for you or your kidsThe grief that comes from a loss of identity during a divorceCommon mistakes before, during, and after a divorce, like offering children too many choicesThe unexpected upsides of divorce, like more personal time, focused relationship with your kids, and reinvention of self The Good Divorce is a must-read for all partners thinking about divorce who want to avoid the all-too-common devastation of dissolving a marriage.
Cesta svobodného ducha: Súfismus a chuť bytí
Každá generace svrhává své někdejší pány, jen aby se stala rabem pánů nových. Páni na sebe berou rozličné masky. Promlouvají coby kněz, politik, vědec, rodič, intelektuál, učitel, guru, kouč a někdy dokonce mluví skrze naše vlastní ego. Naše jistoty a strachy, ambice, přesvědčení i hodnoty jsou diktovány pány, neboť pouze oni definují morálku, filosofii, tradici a ideály. Slova pánů vytvářejí přesvědčivé zdání skutečnosti, které zaměňujeme za skutečnost jako takovou. Pokud zdání uvěříme, budeme polapeni v proradné hříčce, a budeme-li plnit její marné cíle, vysloužíme si jen nespokojenost, utrpení, úzkost a neklid.
Jelikož však Súfí je svobodný duch, dokáže prohlédnout, že ono zdání skutečnosti je závojem, který nám brání setkat se se Skutečností jako takovou, v níž může být život plně zakoušen v celé své slávě.
Ten, kdo kráčí po stezce súfismu, se chce zprostit všech pout, přičemž si je vědom paradoxu, že každá Cesta se může stát okovem okolo jeho krku. K překročení řeky je zapotřebí lodi, a jakmile vystoupíme na břeh, musíme ji opustit, abychom mohli kráčet po zemi. Onou lodí je súfismus. A tak se i Súfí vzdává samotného súfismu a zůstává mu jen bytí. Jinými slovy, Súfí nehledá vysvobození, je si totiž vědom tajemství bytí: on již osvobozený je. Súfí existuje mimo pravdu a lež, dobro a zlo, víru i nevíru a všechna myslitelná dělení. Tam, kde život a smrt, rozum a nerozum, já a ten druhý, Bůh a Nicota jsou jedno a totéž, dotýká se Súfí skrze sebepoznání Základu Bytí a nalézá odpověď na nejzazší otázku: „Kdo jsem?“
Democracy Through the Lens of Chinese Scholars
The first English-language study of Chinese scholars' perspectives on China's quest for democracy. History teaches us that profound transformations are not shaped by ideas alone but are impossible without great ideas. China is known to have a long history during which scholars played a central role in society while their ideas about politics prevailed. Democracy Through the Lens of Chinese Scholars explores six leading schools of thought—including liberalism, New Leftism, neo-Confucianism, democratic socialism, neo-authoritarianism, and good governance—on how to turn China into a democracy. Based on a wealth of primary sources and interview data, author He Li examines the Chinese theoretical debates on democracy from both historical and comparative perspectives. He demonstrates that the crux to understanding China's long march toward democracy lies in appreciating the interrelatedness and interplay of major strands of thought and brings rigor and insight to our understanding of China's leading school of political thought, shedding new light on non-Western political thought in general and comparative democratic theory in particular. Last but not least, the arguments here are a part of global efforts to rethink capitalism and democracy while focusing on liberty, justice, and the rule of law.
Apocalypse
The history of humanity is one of devastating, once-in-a-thousand-year events: rising seas that make land uninhabitable, decades-long droughts, civilisational collapse, epidemics like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu that reduce a city’s population by fifty percent. And yet, despite enormous destruction and very real tragedy, these catastrophes all share one common denominator: we survived.
In APOCALYPSE, Lizzie Wade reframes the story of human history to show how we can learn from these apocalyptic moments, seeing them not just as violent, world-ending events but as moments of progress and transformation. We travel back in deep time to when homo sapiens replaced other human species including the Neanderthals, witness the fall of the kingdom of Old Egypt, the end of the Mayans and the Black Death, as well as lesser-known catastrophes. To weave this unique narrative, Lizzie introduces us to a new generation of archaeologists using cutting-edge technology to tell new stories about our deep past, including flying planes equipped with lasers over Mayan ruins deep in the jungle, scuba diving to the bottom of the ocean, and sequencing the DNA of ancient people to show how we are far more connected to our ancestors than we think.
Written in a gripping style that reads like an Indiana Jones mystery, APOCALYPSE offers a refreshingly optimistic take on the crises our own generation and those after us will face – arguing that yes, catastrophes are painful and destructive, but we can and will survive them.
Wayward and Homebound
Offers an expansion of Desmond's explorations in the philosophy of the between by considering in a fresh way the distinctive features of Irish thought, with reference to religion, culture, and poetry. In Wayward and Homebound, William Desmond explores the philosophy of the between in connection with traditions of Irish thought and culture, especially poetry, drawing upon the metaxological philosophy developed most systematically in the award-winning Being and the Between, Ethics and the Between, and God and the Between. It begins with a broad overview of this notion in connection with Irish thinking and culture by contrast with French, German, and Greek variations of the notion. It touches on figures like John Scotus Eriugena, John Toland, George Berkeley, and Edmund Burke as well as major poets and writers like Swift, Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett. The paradoxical twinning of being at home and not being at home and the relation of thought and exile, in an Irish as well as more cosmopolitan setting, are explored. Desmond presents a synopsis of metaxological philosophy and how it contributes to aesthetics, ethics, religion, and metaphysics. In an extended exploration of Irish betweenings, reflections are offered that move from nature to culture, with four sequences of reflections on islanding, naturing, homing, and wording. Additional concerns come to light such as insular thinking, the ecology of land and sea, religion, postcolonialsm, and the dialogue of poet and philosopher.
A Life of Solid Principles
A translation of the 1843 novella by Edgar Bauer, a significant if overlooked work of German literary history that casts new light on the Young Hegelian movement and, possibly, Karl Marx. In early 1843, the Young Hegelian philosopher and activist Edgar Bauer published a comic novella titled Es leben feste Grundsätze! or A Life of Solid Principles! It told the story of an idealistic young journalist named, significantly enough, Karl. While the work was more or less ignored for one and a half centuries, recent scholarship has suggested that it may contain a fictionalized and deeply critical portrait of Karl Marx. That on its own makes it fascinating and valuable. But it is also an important piece of literary history in its own right. And it offers a powerful way into the life and career of its author—a figure who, despite an enormous amount of interest in the intellectual history of the German Vormärz in recent years, has remained conspicuously overlooked in the literature. This volume combines an original translation of Es leben feste Grundsätze! with a long essay outlining Edgar Bauer’s revolutionary political thought. Along the way, it shows how the Young Hegelian movement constituted a crucial inflection point in the history of the relationship between radical political theory, on one side, and concrete political institutions, on the other.
The City Among Cities
An original interpretation of Aristotle's political thought focusing on war and peace. With the post–Cold War international order under stress, Stephen P. Sims reconsiders the relationship between war, peace, and politics by returning to the thought of Aristotle. The City Among Cities offers new ways of thinking about Aristotle, connecting his themes of inequality—such as slavery or aristocracy—to his observations on war and hegemonic politics. By contrasting Aristotle's approach with the foundational theories of international relations, Sims argues that hierarchy and coercion are permanent features of political life that democratic nations ignore at their own peril.
Maurice Blanchot
Investigates permutations of the terror to examine the complex political and intellectual transformation of literary theorist and novelist Maurice Blanchot between 1933 and 1949. Between 1933 and 1949 Maurice Blanchot's writings underwent a rather infamous political and critical transformation. Its overarching trope is the terror, which features prominently in his work in 1936, 1941, and 1947. The terror is a reflexive discourse about whether language is bound to reality, and so forceful, or merely a series of empty signs. Marty Hiatt provides an in-depth study of Blanchot's political and critical writings from this period, elaborating his various reckonings with the terror so as to demonstrate the categorical nature of his intellectual shift. Blanchot first calls for an insurrection that would violently expurgate the foreign and execute a Jewish prime minister in order to save France. After the Fall of France, he develops an account of how terror and rhetoric dialectically constitute literature as world construction and world destruction. In his first postwar encounter with Hegel, he links this conception back to history by arguing that it corresponds to revolution. He also doubles the dialectical account of revolutionary history through an account of poetic language that makes contact with an unknowable substrate of existence, resulting in a kind of absolute ambiguity, and seeks to explore and inhabit a form of negativity beyond revolution.
Inscriptions of Wisdom
Two important texts in the Sufi tradition made available together in English for the first time. Inscriptions of Wisdom brings together, for the first time in English, two pivotal Sufi texts that illuminate Ibn al-?Arabi's (d. 1240) celebrated work F? ? al-?ikam. The first, Naqsh al-F? ? (the Inscription of the F? ?), is Ibn al-?Arabi's own distillation of F? ? al-?ikam, presenting a concise yet profound articulation of its core teachings. The second, Naqd al-n? ? fi shar? Naqsh al-F? ? (texts commenting on Naqsh al-F? ?), by ?Abd al-R? an Jami, is an anthology of carefully selected passages from the earliest and most authoritative interpreters of F? ? al-?ikam, enriched with Jami's own insights. Together, these works explore the quintessential knowledge and divine principles embodied by each of the twenty-seven major prophetic figures of the Islamic tradition, from Adam to Muhammad. If F? ? al-?ikam represents the culmination of Ibn al-?Arabi's thought, then Naqsh al-F? ? distills its very essence and inner mystery. Mukhtar H. Ali's meticulous presentation of the F? ? al-?ikam commentarial tradition—featuring the first complete English translation of Jami's Naqd al-n? ?, chapter-by-chapter analysis, and extensive notes on key Sufi terms and concepts—establishes this volume as a landmark study in Islamic metaphysics and Sufi thought.
A Scourge of Humanity
As the First World War came to a chaotic end, Europeans feared that a wave of crime and anarchy would sweep across their continent. The upheavals of the war and of the subsequent violent breakup of the Habsburg, German, and Ottoman empires magnified longstanding fears that an increasingly interconnected world offered the enterprising and unscrupulous new opportunities to break the law and evade capture. New kinds of international criminals and criminal enterprises demanded novel forms of international cooperation. Thus was born the International Criminal Police Commission, known today as Interpol. In the 1920s and 1930s, Interpol''s police officials and the lawyers who collaborated with them created lasting programs to combat counterfeiting, sex and drug trafficking, terrorism, and human smuggling, and other forms of international crime, which they labelled "a scourge of humanity." Drawing on press reports, police files, and criminal records in numerous languages and across multiple countries, David Petruccelli explores the origins of Interpol and the role Central and Eastern European actors played in developing criminal policing and law during the interwar period to bring stability to their region and reshape international institutions and norms. He shows how legal experts replaced a liberal focus on individual rights with an emphasis on a collective of international societies and of police officers who looked to the international sphere as a space for eluding the constraints of the rule of law at home. In doing so, their initiatives posed an alternative to the imperial and liberal internationalist programs pursued by many Western Europeans and Americans and laid the groundwork for more radical forms of persecution during the Second World War. While bringing to life the stories of individuals involved in shady activities across borders, A Scourge of Humanity explores the vigorous policing and harsh criminal laws established by Interpol to combat their crimes and highlights illiberal forms of internationalism that have left a lasting mark on our world.

Kiáradt - A Tisza útja a győzelemig
2026. április 12-én Magyarország történelmet írt. Tizenhat év Orbán-rendszer után a Magyar Péter vezette Tisza Párt megnyerte az országgyűlési választásokat - és ezzel új esélyt adott az országnak, hogy visszatérjen a demokrácia útjára.
A győzelem a lehetetlen határát súrolta. Orbán Viktor és pártja a teljes állami apparátust, a titkosszolgálatokat, a másfél évtized alatt kiépített propagandagépezetet és gyakorlatilag korlátlan anyagi erőforrásait mozgósította. A Tiszának mindössze a változásra vágyók lelkesedéséből kellett építkeznie.
Ez a könyv a Tisza-kampány történetét meséli el. Azt, hogy hogyan nőtt ki a kegyelmi botrányból egy olyan politikai mozgalom, amely letarolta a teljes ellenzéki mezőnyt, és végül legyőzte magát Orbán Viktort is.
Magyar Péter története azonban nem csak a magyar politika története. A kampány megmutatta azt is, hogy a perszonalizált politika korszakában minden megváltozott: a hagyományos pártstruktúrák, az aktivisták száma, sőt, az anyagi erőforrások is sokkal kevesebbet számítanak, mint gondoltuk. A 2026-os választási kampány megismerésén keresztül megérthetjük a modern politika működését is, annak minden izgalmával - és árnyoldalával.
A Kiáradt - A Tisza útja a győzelemig a 2024-2026-os időszak legfontosabb politikai eseményeinek története - még soha nem hallott részletekkel, fordulópontokkal, és az ezek mögött húzódó okok és hatások közérthető, de alapos politikai elemzésével.
"Ez vagy nagyot megy, vagy lufi lesz" - írta az egyik legelső kommentelő a Partizán induló élő közvetítése alá Youtube-on, miközben az interjúalanyon még a mikroportot igazítgatták. Aztán megjelent a képernyőn Magyar Péter: ingben és nyakkendőben, nyugodt hangon, magabiztosan ült Gulyás Márton műsorvezetővel szemben. Már a beköszönése valami mást ígért, mint amit eddig látott az ellenzék. Pontosan úgy nézett ki és azt a viselkedést hozta, amit a rendszer bukására vágyó közönség tudat alatt elvárt egy kiábrándult fideszestől. Érződött rajta, hogy jobboldali közegből jön, hogy nincs meg benne az a tipikus ellenzéki DNS, ami miatt a korábbi ellenzéki vezetők rendre idegenül hatottak a választók jelentős részére.

The Dutch Republic
The `Dutch Golden Age'', the age of Grotius, Spinoza, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and a host of other renowned artists and writers was also remarkable for its immense impact in the spheres of commerce, finance, shipping, and technology. It was in fact one of the most spectacularly creative episodes in the history of the world. In this book, Jonathan Israel gives the definitive account of the emergence of the United Provinces as a great power, and explains the subsequent decline in the eighteenth century. He places the thought, politics, religion, and social developments of the Golden Age in their broad context, and examines the changing relationship between the northern Netherlands and the south, which was to develop into modern Belgium.One of the principal aims of the book is to counter the oversimplification which characterizes so much history writing today, and to provide a new type of integrated history which draws the different dimensions of the discipline firmly together in strictly non-technical language. The result is a comprehensive and lucid account as useful to the reader primarily interested in artistic and cultural history as to the student who needs a survey of the Republic''s institutions, class structure, and economic development. At the same time it will provide an invaluable aid to scholars interested in new research and new interpretations.
Marzia
From her childhood in Puli Khumri, Afghanistan, to her courageous advocacy on the global stage today, Judge Marzia Babakarkhail weaves together deeply personal stories that resonate with international audiences. Marzia: A Judge's Fight for Afghan Women's Rights takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through the stark realities of life under Taliban rule following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021—navigating checkpoints, relying on secret networks, and making high-stakes decisions in moments where every second mattered. Through vivid storytelling, Marzia brings to life the fear that gripped so many, as well as the resilience that carried her and countless others forward. As a former judge and advocate, Marzia's commitment to justice never wavered, even in the face of threats, exile, and unimaginable pressure. Her story is not merely one of survival, but also of determination and strength. It reflects the broader struggle faced by women throughout Afghanistan, particularly those in the legal system who risked everything to uphold the rule of law and protect others' rights. Through Marzia's journey, this book stands as a tribute to the International Association of Women Judges, honoring countries, governments, organizations, and individuals who refused to stay silent. It is a call to remember, to act, and to stand in solidarity with Afghanistan—especially with its women of justice, whose bravery and unwavering spirit continue to inspire the world. This is not just Marzia's story—it is the story of a movement, of resistance, and of hope in the darkest of times.
The Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement was among the most important historical developments of the twentieth century and one of the most remarkable mass movements in American history. Not only did it decisively change the legal and political status of African Americans, but it prefigured as well the moral premises and methods of struggle for other historically oppressed groups seeking equal standing in American society. And, yet, despite a vague, sometimes begrudging recognition of its immense import, more often than not the movement has been misrepresented and misunderstood. For many, a singular moment, frozen in time at the Lincoln Memorial, sums up much of what Americans and the world know about that remarkable decade of struggle. In The Civil Rights Movement: A Very Short Introduction, Thomas C. Holt provides an informed and nuanced understanding of the origins, character, and objectives of the mid-twentieth-century freedom struggle, privileging the aspirations and initiatives of the ordinary, grassroots people who made it. Holt conveys a sense of these developments as a social movement, one that shaped its participants even as they shaped it. He emphasizes the conditions of possibility that enabled the heroic initiatives of the common folk over those of their more celebrated leaders. This groundbreaking book reinserts the critical concept of "movement" back into our image and understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.
Modernity in Perspective
Draws on the work of the Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa to offer an alternative to Cartesian subjectivity. The normative history of modernity begins with the Renaissance and the invention of linear perspective, which places man, instead of God, at the center of the world. The vanishing point of linear perspective portrays the world from the perspective of the single right eye of a singular subject, and it is this perspective that inspired Descartes's optics and his isolated cogito as the prime example of modern subjectivity. This book returns to the invention of linear perspective to seek another interpretation, offering an alternative to the Cartesian subject. Using the work of Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa, Arianne Conty traces an alternative genealogy of the modern subject, one that allows the world, and the painting, to return our gaze. In elucidating the critique of the Cartesian subject by twentieth-century philosophers Benjamin, Heidegger, Lacan, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Marion, she asks how modernity could be reconceived if philosophers were to take into account the geometric vision of Nicolas of Cusa and how his alternative vision might enable us to escape narcissism and share our world with the absolute other.
Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet
In his final days in office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt invited dozens of friends to the White House for lunch. They had never met as a group, but they had one thing in common: Each played tennis with the president and advised on policy matters. Roosevelt half-joked that the public would never know how much these tennis partners did to make his administration a success. Journalists dismissively called them the "Tennis Cabinet," making light of their contribution, but Roosevelt knew otherwise. This inner circle led the administration's campaigns against corporate greed, investigated public health violations, and formulated consumer protections. They founded environmental conservation policies, prosecuted civil rights violations, and implemented bureaucratic efficiencies that saved the government billions. Roosevelt's tennis mates shaped the nation's diplomacy, ending wars and promoting American interests abroad. Never had a more eclectic group advised a U.S. president. The Tennis Cabinet included legendary frontier lawman Seth Bullock and the starched-shirt corporate lawyer Henry Stimson, who served in five presidential administrations. Texas wolf wrangler Jack Abernathy played with stuffy bureaucrats like Labor Commissioner Charles Patrick Neill and social activist James Bronson Reynolds. The French ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand spun yarns with football hero George Washington Woodruff and Roosevelt's college friend and banker Robert Bacon. James Garfield, namesake son of a martyred president, sipped mint juleps with Supreme Court Justice William Henry Moody. And J. P. Morgan's silver-spooned son-in-law Herbert Satterlee kept company with rugged soldier Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly. For all their differences, these men shared a desire to help the president transform the nation from a parochial nineteenth-century republic into an imperial and industrial global power. They have escaped the attention of reporters and historians only because of Roosevelt's towering celebrity. Turning away from Roosevelt as the singular force behind his administration, it is possible to see how the contributions of his Tennis Cabinet quietly sowed the seeds of the American Century.
