Summary

Ride the Oasis rollercoaster ahead of Live '25.
Oasis were Artful Dodgers from a housing estate who created stadium anthems that connected with millions. They became the band of the people by giving the people what they wanted: rock 'n' roll.
Ahead of the Live '25 Tour, Definitely Maybe offers a unique take on their story. The euphoric highs, spectacular implosions, chaos, excesses and sibling rivalry. How the Gallagher brothers captured the zeitgeist of the 1990s by embodying the hopes and frustrations of a disillusioned generation.
In a rollercoaster ride from their humble beginnings in Manchester through Britpop jousts with Blur and legendary shows at Knebworth, Andy Bollen unveils how their relentless drive, swagger, Irish blood and English heart left an indelible mark on pop history. 
Available since: 05/22/2025.

    The dialogue centers around the nature of pleasure and its relationship to the good life. The two main interlocutors in the dialogue are Socrates and Philebus, a prominent Athenian intellectual. Throughout the dialogue, Socrates and Philebus engage in a complex and nuanced discussion about the nature of pleasure and its place in the good life. They explore questions such as whether pleasure is the ultimate good, whether there are different kinds of pleasure, and whether pleasure can be reconciled with reason and virtue. The dialogue highlights the importance of balance and harmony in the pursuit of a good life, and it remains a significant work of philosophy to this day. Read in English, unabridged.

    The Problem of Democracy -...

    What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This "democratic dilemma" is one of the most persistent, vexing problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle East—we want democracy in theory but not necessarily in practice. 
     
     
     
    When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy. Why has the United States failed so completely to live up to its own stated ideals in the Arab world? And is it possible for it to change? 
     
     
     
    In The Problem of Democracy, Hamid offers an ambitious reimagining of this ongoing debate and argues for "democratic minimalism" as a path to resolving democratic dilemmas in the Middle East and beyond. In the seemingly eternal tension between democracy and liberalism, recognized by the ancient Greeks and the American founders alike, it may be time to prioritize one over the other, rather than acting as if the two are intertwined when increasingly they are not.
