A Different Kind of Power


This is not just a book for people who follow politics, but for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, or wanted to make a difference. The deeply personal memoir from the former prime minister of New Zealand, then the world's youngest female head of government and just the second to become a mother in office. Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye. This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be. A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir. Powerfully evocative and refreshingly open, it is a profound insight into how it feels to lead and it asks: what if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?

The Political Thought of David Hume


Aaron Alexander Zubia argues that the Epicurean roots of David Hume's philosophy gave rise to liberalism's unrelenting grip on the modern political imagination.Eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher David Hume has had an outsized impact on the political thinkers who came after him, from the nineteenth-century British Utilitarians to modern American social contract theorists. In this thorough and thoughtful new work, Aaron Alexander Zubia examines the forces that shaped Hume's thinking within the broad context of intellectual history, with particular focus on the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and the skeptical tradition.Zubia argues that through Hume's influence, Epicureanism—which elevates utility over moral truth—became the foundation of liberal political philosophy, which continues to dominate and limit political discourse today.

Segítség, francia lettem!


Bretagne az új Toszkána - csak több vajjal és almaborral. Harminc évvel ezelőtt Mark Greenside beleszeretett Bretagne-ba. Aztán - minden józan ész ellenére - kölcsönkért pénzből vett egy százéves parasztházat egy ötszáz lelkes faluban, úgy, hogy egy szót sem tudott franciául, semmit nem értett a házakhoz, és halvány fogalma sem volt arról, hogyan boldoguljon egy teljesen idegen környezetben. Azóta eltelt három évtized. Mark még mindig rendszeresen félreérti a franciákat, a franciák pedig még mindig türelmesen próbálják megérteni őt. Szomszédai vigyáznak rá: lefordítják a hivatalos leveleit, kijavítják a beszédét, és időről időre megmentik a kisebb-nagyobb katasztrófáktól. A Segítség, francia lettem! szellemes, melegszívű és ismerősen emberi történet mindazoknak, akik érezték már magukat elveszettnek vagy reménytelenül kívülállónak - egészen addig a pillanatig, amíg meg nem találták a helyüket.
