Sinopsis

Civil Code Origins delves into the rich history of civil law, tracing its roots from ancient Roman legal traditions to its modern manifestations in systems around the world. The book explores how the concept of codification, the systematic organization of legal principles, has shaped legal landscapes. Intriguingly, the Corpus Juris Civilis, commissioned by Emperor Justinian, laid a crucial foundation for later European legal developments. The text argues that civil law systems, while sharing common ancestry, exemplify continuous adaptation and reinvention reflecting unique social and political contexts. The book investigates the rediscovery and adaptation of Roman law in medieval Europe, highlighting the roles of legal scholars and jurists in shaping and interpreting these codes. It then examines the development and impact of specific national civil codes, such as the French Napoleonic Code and the German BGB, including their philosophical underpinnings and societal consequences. By examining the political context in which these codes were implemented and the social forces that shaped their interpretation, the book offers a nuanced understanding of their lasting impact. The book's approach is interdisciplinary, incorporating insights from legal history, political science, and sociology to link the evolution of civil law to broader societal trends. Civil Code Origins begins by introducing the foundational principles of civil law and progresses to a detailed exploration of the Roman legacy, concluding with an examination of contemporary challenges in a globalized world.

    Argentina's history is a rich tapestry that can be divided into four distinct periods: the pre-Columbian or early history (up to the sixteenth century), the colonial period (1530–1810), the nation-building period (1810–1880), and contemporary history (from approximately 1880 to the present). Each phase shaped the region, transforming it from sparsely inhabited land into the modern Argentine Republic. 
    Human presence in what is now Argentina dates back approximately 13,000 years, with evidence of early settlements in Patagonia. Archaeological findings suggest human activity through the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. However, a significant depopulation of large interior areas occurred between 4000 and 2000 B.C., likely due to a prolonged period of drought. Over time, indigenous peoples in the region evolved into diverse cultural groups with varying levels of complexity. 
    Uruguayan archaeologist Raúl Campá Soler categorized Argentina’s indigenous peoples into three groups: basic hunters and food gatherers without pottery; advanced gatherers and hunters; and basic farmers who developed pottery. The Pampas and Patagonia were dominated by the first group, while the second included tribes like the Charrúa, Minuane, and Guaraní. The third group, inhabiting regions such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca, adopted farming practices and pottery.

    As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
     
     
     
    With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
     
     
     
    In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.

    The first biography of Ericka Huggins, a queer Black woman who brought spiritual self-care practices to the Black Panther Party. 
     
     
     
    In this groundbreaking biography, Mary Frances Phillips immerses listeners in the life and legacy of Ericka Huggins, a revered Black Panther Party member, as well as a mother, widow, educator, poet, and former political prisoner. In 1969, the police arrested Ericka Huggins along with Bobby Seale and fellow Black Panther Party members, who were accused of murdering Alex Rackley. This marked the beginning of her ordeal, as she became the subject of political persecution and a well-planned FBI COINTELPRO plot. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on never-before-seen archival sources, including prison records, unpublished letters, FBI records, and oral histories, Phillips foregrounds the paramount role of self-care and community care in Huggins's political journey, shedding light on Ericka's use of spiritual wellness practices she developed during her incarceration. In prison, Huggins was able to survive the repression and terror she faced while navigating motherhood through her unwavering commitment to spiritual practices. In showcasing this history, Phillips reveals the significance of spiritual wellness in the Black Panther Party and Black Power movement.

    'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN 
    'A true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUM 
    From the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland – a world where the rich can buy everything – including the truth. 
    Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. 
    For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland – the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west’s ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will. 
    This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it’s in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK’s High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know – and more importantly, what we are not. 
    From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few. 
    Cuckooland by Tom Burgis, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a non-fiction exploration of corruption and misconduct in the 21st century. The book delves into the world of white-collar crime in modern Russia, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of business, economics, and political history. 
    For fans of Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia), Tim Marshall (Divided), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Chris Blackhurst (The World's Biggest Cash Machine), and Eliot Higgins (We Are Bellingcat).

    THE PROLETARIANS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THEIR CHAINS. 
     
    Originally published on the eve of the 1848 European revolutions, The Communist Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the worldview Marx and Engels developed during their hectic intellectual and political collaboration. Formulating the principles of dialectical materialism (a transition from capitalism to socialism), they believed that labour creates wealth; hence, capitalism is exploitative and antithetical to freedom. 
    The Manifesto's stirring poetic language helped spread Marx and Engels' socialist message far and wide, unleashing a century of political revolution. In an age of great inequality, its message of an exploited and suffering working class that must rise up and claim the means of production and wealth continues to resonate.
