Sinopse

Cattle Raising Norms explores the deep-seated connections between humans and cattle, revealing how these relationships have shaped societies across history. This book highlights cattle herding as more than just an economic activity; it's a cornerstone of social identity, cultural continuity, and ecological balance in pastoral communities. It examines diverse aspects such as land tenure systems, the transmission of indigenous knowledge, and the social structures within pastoral families. The book emphasizes that understanding these systems offers valuable lessons for addressing contemporary challenges in food security, land management, and cultural preservation.

The book uses historical perspectives and economic analyses to trace the evolution of cattle raising, from its ancient roots to modern commercial practices, noting the impact of environmental change, governmental policies, and market forces. For example, it uncovers how climate change directly impacts grazing patterns. Through case studies from various regions, it illustrates the diverse strategies pastoral families use to manage herds, navigate environmental constraints, and maintain social cohesion. This approach integrates indigenous knowledge with scientific research, offering a culturally sensitive understanding of cattle herding practices.

Structured to systematically explore its central thesis, the book begins with foundational concepts like pastoralism and transhumance before moving to specific case studies. Concluding with policy implications, Cattle Raising Norms champions inclusive approaches that recognize the value of pastoral systems and support their long-term sustainability.

White Thinking - Behind the Mask...

Lilian Thuram

What does it mean to be white? Beyond just a skin colour, is it also a way of thinking? If so, how did it come about, and why? 
 
In this book, drawing on history, personal experience and activist literature, the former footballer and World Champion Lilian Thuram looks at the origins and workings of white thinking, how it divides us and how it has become ubiquitous and accepted without challenge. He demonstrates how centuries of white bias and denial justified slavery and colonialism, and have reinforced norms and structures of oppression, limiting the roles and horizons of both non-whites and whites alike. 
Crucially, while White Thinking is a critique of ingrained structural inequities, it calls for an inclusive approach to solving the problem, and aims to raise awareness and imagine a new world in which all of humanity is given equal weight. 
“White Thinking patiently demonstrates… how European societies, through their creation of Black people, also invented White people.” LE MONDE 
“Strikes another blow in his battle against racial stereotypes.” LA VIE 
“This book is not interested in repentance or white guilt but in the ability to face up to historical reality and to the fact that others might have a very different understanding of that history.” REVUE DES DEUX MONDES

The Anarchist Movement - A...

Arlo Holders

Anarchism, as both a philosophy and a political movement, seeks to abolish hierarchical structures of power, particularly the state, and promote a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and self-governance. The term “anarchy” is often misunderstood and associated with chaos or disorder, but in the context of anarchism, it refers to the absence of coercive authority, not lawlessness. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of centralized governments, institutions, and systems that perpetuate inequality and domination, advocating instead for decentralized, egalitarian forms of social organization. 
The roots of anarchism can be traced back to the philosophical and political developments of the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in the Enlightenment. Thinkers such as William Godwin and Jean-Jacques Rousseau laid the groundwork for anarchist thought by critiquing the rise of centralized authority and envisioning societies based on the autonomy of individuals and communities. However, it was in the 19th century that anarchism began to take shape as a distinct political ideology, largely influenced by the writings and activism of figures like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin. 
Central to anarchist theory is the belief in individual freedom and autonomy. Anarchists argue that all individuals should have the right to govern their own lives without interference from external authorities, whether those authorities are political, economic, or social. Anarchism posits that society can function without the need for a state, which is often seen as a coercive and oppressive institution. Instead, anarchists advocate for decentralized forms of governance, such as direct democracy, mutual aid, and voluntary association, where decisions are made collectively by communities rather than imposed by a centralized authority.

Minos - What Is Law? – Plato’s...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
•	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
•	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
•	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.
