Sinossi

In "Why Men Fight: A Method of Abolishing the International Duel," renowned philosopher and social critic Bertrand Russell delves into the psychological and sociopolitical underpinnings of warfare. Written in a lucid and accessible style, the book critiques the romanticization of conflict while presenting a rational discourse on the mechanisms of militarism and international tension. Russell's examination is informed by the backdrop of the early 20th century, particularly the tumult of World War I, as he seeks to dissect the root causes of violence and propose systematic approaches to dismantle the confrontational paradigms of nation-states engaged in perpetual strife. Bertrand Russell, a prominent figure in analytic philosophy and a vocal advocate for peace, wrote this work during a period when his pacifist convictions were profoundly tested by global events. His experiences in the war, along with his engagement in the debates surrounding ethics and human nature, inspired him to challenge societal norms that perpetuate conflict. Russell's keen intellect and experiential insights lend an authoritative voice to his arguments, reinforcing the relevance of his observations on human behavior and societal structures. This book is essential for readers interested in philosophy, peace studies, and political theory. Russell's profound insights invite critical reflection on humanity's propensity for violence, making it a transformative read for those who seek to understand and address the root causes of global conflict. His explorations provoke us to envision a world wherein rationality triumphs over aggression, encouraging the pursuit of peaceful resolutions.

    There's no such thing as a former KGB man. 
     
     
     
    Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world. 
     
     
     
    More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilize Western democracy.

    You will no longer suffer with the thoughts:I'm not good enough or The only way I can get my songs heard is to be a worship leader or Nobody is going to listen to my songs or There are no schools or teachers showing how to write songs for God.

    Saving Ourselves - From Climate...

    We've known for decades that climate change is an existential crisis. For just as long, we've seen the complete failure of our institutions to rise to the challenge. Fossil fuel interests maintain a stranglehold on political and economic power. Even though we have seen growing concern from everyday people, civil society has succeeded only in pressuring decision makers to adopt watered-down policies. Is there any hope of achieving the systemic change we need? 
     
     
     
    Dana R. Fisher argues that there is a realistic path forward for climate action—but only through mass mobilization that responds to the growing severity and frequency of disastrous events. She assesses the current state of affairs and shows why public policy and private-sector efforts have been ineffective. Spurred by this lack of progress, climate activism has become increasingly confrontational. Fisher examines the radical flank of the climate movement: its emergence and growth, its use of direct action, and how it might evolve as the climate crisis worsens. She considers when and how activism is most successful, identifying the importance of creating community, capitalizing on shocking moments, and cultivating resilience. Clear-eyed yet optimistic, Saving Ourselves offers timely insights on how social movements can take power back and open windows of opportunity for transformative climate action.
