Politicians have failed us. But democracy doesn't have to. Bought by special interests, detached from real life, obsessed with re-election. Politicians make big promises, deliver little to nothing, and keep the game rigged in their favour. But what can we do? With disarming clarity and a deep sense of urgency, acclaimed political theorist Hélene Landemore argues that electoral politics is broken but democracy isn't. We've just been doing it wrong. Drawing on ancient Athenian practices and contemporary citizens' assemblies, Landemore champions an alternative approach that is alive, working, and growing around the world: civic lotteries that select everyday people to govern, not as career politicians but as temporary stewards of the common good. When regular citizens come together in this way, they make smarter, fairer, more forward-thinking decisions, often bringing out the best in one another. Witnessing this process firsthand, Landemore has learned that democracy should be like a good party where even the shyest guests feel welcome to speak, listen, and be heard. With sharp analysis and real-world examples, drawing from her experience with deliberative processes in France and elsewhere, Landemore shows us how to move beyond democracy as a spectator sport, embracing it as a shared practice-not just in the voting booth but in shaping the laws and policies that govern our lives. If you've ever felt powerless, Politics Without Politicians will show you how we can take back democracy.

In a radically fresh reading of Mary Magdalene’s story, a renowned scholar of mystical traditions sheds new light on the Divine Feminine as a force for change and healing. For more than 20 years, Andrew Harvey has trained his fine scholar’s eye on sacred texts and mystical truths to illuminate the message of inspired activism that they hold. Today, we need this message more urgently than ever. In this new book, Andrew takes a fresh, impassioned look at the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus to distill its meaning for our world and show us how to embody this truth in our own lives. The Magdalene Revolution will:· Examine how Mary Magdalene is presented in the New Testament—sometimes splendidly, but also absurdly and even dangerously· Explore the truths revealed about her in texts such as the Gospel of Mary and other Gnostic gospels· Propose a radical reclamation of the divine feminine by recognizing Mary Magdalene as the Bride to Jesus’s Bridegroom—a female and co-equal Christ in her own right· Illuminate a new paradigm of fully embodied divine and human love that each of us can live out in our daily lives “We are in the time of the Second Coming,” Andrew writes. “The old story is dying, and a new story with Mary Magdalene’s and Jesus's love at the center is being born, because it completes and activates the full range of Christ consciousness.” In Mary Magdalene's great spirit of healing and transfiguration, this book offers us this new human story—and a path to transform not only ourselves, but our world.

The hidden histories of empire, told through the haunted afterlives of colonial migrationsIndian migrants provided the labor that enabled the British Empire to gain control over a quarter of the world’s population and territory. In the mid-1800s, the British government began building an elaborate bureaucracy to govern its mobile subjects, issuing photo IDs, lists of kin, and wills. It amassed records of workers’ belongings such as handwritten IOUs, crumpled newspaper clippings, and copper bangles. Worldly Afterlives uses this trove of artifacts to recover the stories of the hidden subjects of empire. Navigating the remains of imperial bureaucracy—in archives scattered across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas—Julia Stephens follows migrant families as they traverse the Indian Ocean and the British Empire. She draws on in-depth interviews to show how the histories of empire reverberate in the present through the memories and experiences of their descendants, who collected their own remnants of empire in albums and curio cabinets. We encounter women, subaltern migrants, and people of mixed heritage whose family stories upend ethnonationalist and patriarchal approaches to studying Asian diasporas. What emerges is a social history of Indian migration and a political history of British imperial governance, one that offers a new methodological approach to the historian’s craft. Spanning archives, family collections, cemeteries, online ancestry records, and social media, Worldly Afterlives breaks down boundaries that separate academic, amateur, and public history to open new conversations about the ongoing legacies of empire.

**This new hardcover edition of the third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Never After series has specially designed edges, an exclusive case design, and full-color art.** A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been the bad guy. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family's drug empire, she's her father's ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister's murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn't have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she's sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworth's real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. He's an undercover DEA agent, and he's hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realizes the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he's been fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust. Evelina embodies everything he's against, and he's been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each other's hearts, the more alike they seem, and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman, even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin.

A 11 éves Milan halálosan unatkozik franciaországi otthonában; csak a televízión keresztül jutnak el hozzá a távoli tragédiák visszhangtöredékei. Aztán 1994 nyarán a családja befogad egy Ruandából jött állítólagos unokatestvért, Claude-ot. Milant először zavarba ejti ez a hallgatag, sérült fiú, de hamarosan testvérre lel benne: megoszthatja vele a szobáját, a játékait és a szenvedélyeit. Ám az új testvért éppolyan váratlanul ragadják el tőle, ahogyan felbukkant. Milan ismét egyedül marad, és most már a veszteség és a szülők hallgatása is nyomasztja. Később, már fiatalemberként lépésről lépésre, utazásról utazásra eljut a családi titok forrásához, abba az országba, amely a népirtás után próbálja újraépíteni önmagát. Gaël Faye egyedülálló gyengédséggel rajzolja meg szereplői sorsát. Négy generáción át meséli el annak a népnek a történetét, amely a véres múlt dacára párbeszédre, megbocsátásra törekszik. „Apám állította, hogy a bőrszínük különbsége számára sosem volt gond. "A szerelemnek nincs színe", mondogatta. Büszkén mondta, azt hirdetve, hogy nem is látja anyám színét. Mivel anyám hallgatott a származásáról, szinte el is felejtettem, hogy más ég alatt született és nőtt fel, mint mi. Annyira, hogy amikor azon kaptam, hogy kinyarwanda nyelven telefonál, döbbenten megtorpantam, hallva, hogy folyékonyan beszél egy ismeretlen nyelven. Sosem tudtam meg, kivel beszélt.”
