Synopsis

Banned Books explores the history of literary censorship, particularly within educational settings, and its significant impact on intellectual freedom. It examines why certain books are deemed "dangerous," revealing societal anxieties and power structures. Understanding book censorship requires considering the historical context and social movements, as the reasons books are challenged often reflect a society's values. The book highlights that book banning, often justified as protecting children or upholding standards, can undermine critical thinking, which is essential in a democracy.

 
The book begins by establishing a framework for understanding censorship and then delves into case studies of historical book bannings in schools, analyzing arguments for and against their inclusion in curricula. Particular attention is given to the social and political contexts surrounding these challenges.

 
The book concludes by assessing the contemporary landscape of book censorship in the age of social media and politicized education, offering practical strategies for advocating intellectual freedom.

Just Following Orders -...

Emilie A. Caspar

How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience.
