In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.Ver libro
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and effective approach to mental health treatment that focuses on the powerful connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The premise behind CBT is simple: our thoughts shape how we feel, and how we feel influences how we behave. In turn, our behaviors can either reinforce or challenge our thought patterns. By learning to identify, challenge, and reframe negative or distorted thoughts, CBT offers a roadmap to breaking unhealthy cycles and fostering positive change. The key to lasting improvement in mental health often lies in addressing the underlying thought patterns that influence our emotional states. Our minds can become entrenched in negative thinking habits, which can lead to persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress. These patterns can often seem automatic or out of our control, but through CBT, we gain the tools to not only understand but actively change how we think. The first step in this process is understanding the role of thought patterns in mental health. We all experience a wide range of thoughts throughout the day, some positive and others negative. While we may not always be able to control what thoughts arise, we can gain control over how we respond to them. Negative thoughts such as self-doubt, catastrophizing, and overgeneralizing can trigger emotional distress, which in turn influences our behaviors. If left unaddressed, these cycles can become entrenched, affecting our overall well-being and quality of life.Ver libro

When you think of Ancient Greece and Rome, what do you see? The Acropolis and the Colosseum? Perhaps the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and the rule of the Caesars? Or the birth of democracy and the vast reach of an empire? This well-trodden history of great thinkers, military leaders, and early state formation in the classical world still enthralls us, but it tells only half the story . . . How democratic was Athenian democracy? How much power did states wield beyond their city walls? And who looked upon the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something different? Radical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the listener to communities of escaped enslaved people, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. This history from below brings the experiences of ordinary and marginal people out of obscurity and radically expands our understanding of social and political life in the classical world.Ver libro
Economic inequality has become one of the defining challenges of our era, shaping the trajectory of societies across the globe. The income gap between the wealthiest and the poorest continues to widen, creating a stark divide that influences not only financial security but also access to education, healthcare, and opportunities. This growing disparity raises questions about the fairness of our systems and the sustainability of our futures. The roots of inequality are complex, intertwining historical legacies with contemporary policies and practices. In many nations, the transition from agrarian economies to industrialized and globalized markets created unprecedented wealth. However, this wealth was not evenly distributed. The rise of capitalism, technological advancements, and shifts in labor dynamics often concentrated power and resources in the hands of a few, leaving vast populations struggling to make ends meet. The income gap is more than just an economic issue; it has profound social, political, and cultural implications. At the societal level, inequality fosters divisions, creating barriers between different classes and perpetuating cycles of poverty. Social trust diminishes as communities perceive disparities as injustices, leading to increased tension and reduced cohesion. Politically, the influence of wealth on decision-making undermines democratic ideals, allowing a small elite to shape policies that serve their interests rather than those of the broader population.Ver libro
