Listening Like a Girl


Apocalypse is in the air. And the far right knows it. Since the pandemic, it has successfully cultivated crises, conspiracy theories, and coalitions to fight a green energy transition. Mobilising online and in the streets, far-right actors cast decarbonisation measures as a 'war on cars' endangering individual liberty, the nuclear family, the nation, and western civilisation.In The Great Driving Right Show, the Zetkin Collective traces the evolution of these conflicts and shows how, as the climate crisis worsens, the political right constructs an 'inverted crisis' in which climate action - not climate change - represents the gravest existential threat. Rising through this shared strategy are movements and parties from anti-road-pricing saboteurs, 'freedom' convoys and farmers' protests, to the Trump-led opposition to electric vehicles. Powering such actors are not only fossil-fuel and automobile interests, but an ever-expanding cycle of moral panics about climate and racial justice protesters, trans people, and migrants.With the planet at stake, we must confront the new climate denialism and the violent mobility regime fuelling the rise of fossil fascism.

The Dervish finds himself bound to a sweet, brilliant, and above all kind young man.

We the People


WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN HISTORY 2026ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2025LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION 2025THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA THE ECONOMIST, HISTORY TODAY, NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORKER AND WASHINGTON POST BOOK OF THE YEAROn the 250th anniversary of America's founding - a landmark history of the US Constitution for a troubling new era.The US Constitution is among the oldest constitutions in the world - and one of the most difficult to amend. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments have been proposed since 1789, only twenty-seven have ever been ratified. Tellingly, the Constitution has not been meaningfully amended since 1971. Without amendment, the risk of political violence rises. So does the risk of constitutional change by presidential power.Leading Harvard historian Jill Lepore captures the stories of generations of ordinary people who have attempted everything from abolishing the Electoral College to guaranteeing environmental rights, hoping to mend their nation. Recounting the history of America through centuries of efforts to realize the promise of the Constitution, we witness how nearly all those bids have failed.We the People is the sweeping account of a struggle, arguing that the Constitution was never intended to be preserved, but was expected to be gradually altered. At a time when the risk of political violence is all too real, it hints at the prospects for a better, amended America.

Leonhart Fuchs


Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566) was a founding father of modern botany, honored to this day in the vivid flower, and corresponding color, Fuchsia. In 1543, Fuchs combined his masterful botanical knowledge with groundbreaking medical research in his New Herbal, a catalog of some 500 types of plants and their healing properties.While a dependable scientific reference, The New Herbal won fame above all with the detail and quality of its illustrations. Alongside essays describing the plants’ features, origins, and medicinal powers, Fuchs presented each plant with meticulous woodcut illustrations, refining the ability for swift species identification and setting new standards for accuracy and quality in botanical publications. From the age of great exploration, The New Herbal also documented plant types from the recently discovered New World, offering the first visual record of tobacco, maize, kidney bean, and cactus.This edition is based on Fuchs’s personal, hand-colored copy, which has miraculously survived four-and-a-half centuries in pristine condition. Fascinating for historians of medicine and art, gardeners, and anyone interested in herbal medicine, the volume features over 500 splendid illustrations, and an essay exploring the history of healing herbs.

Architectural Floor Plans


Floor plans comprise all the attributes that elevate building from a trade to an art form: proportion, balance, coherence, structure, matter, and dynamism. Each one is a work of art in and of itself. This fascinating compendium is an inquiry into and celebration of the artistic qualities intrinsic to plan drawings. With each one distilled down to its basics, devoid of any superfluous lines or colors, every building’s core is exposed in blue against a white background.Thus simplified, they convey each structure’s spatial essence—its reason for being—in its purest form.  With more than 3500 plans, ranging from humankind’s first dwellings to today’s incredibly varied constructions, the collection becomes a narrative of architectural handwriting across millennia. Displayed chronologically, it can be digested by the reader in different dimensions—architectural or geographical, temporal or technological.  Plan drafting is a key element in the daily practice of all architects—both an expressive medium and an essential artisanal skill.Plan reading, likewise, is the first step in making the acquaintance of a building, decoding its spatial intelligence and the intent of its creators. Because floor plans are at the very core of any structure’s identity, any students or teachers of architecture will find this remarkable repository an invaluable resource and tool for research and theory. They’re likely to relish dissecting plans of familiar buildings—wellsprings of inspiration and ideas—but also delight in discovering projects they’ve probably never encountered before.

The Artist as Ecologist


How are contemporary artists responding to the climate crisis? Filipa Ramos takes an original approach to the subject by addressing two parallel strands. She looks firstly at pioneering approaches to ecology by key contemporary artists from different generations and cultural backgrounds working in different art media; and she considers the balance between ecology as theme and ecology as practice, underscoring the imperative for both artists and art institutions to adopt responsible environmental positions in their practice. This topical and important book discusses the work of artists who have returned to the land; reviews how questions of shared rights and environmental justice are represented in contemporary artistic practice; highlights the renewed importance of performance and time-based media in ecologically themed art; and looks at artists’ and art institutions’ complex relationship to environmental action.
