Sinossi

Storm Prophets explores the historical intersection of weather and belief, revealing how ancient cultures interpreted atmospheric phenomena as divine communication. The book argues that these interpretations profoundly influenced religious practices, social structures, and early scientific inquiry.

 
Intriguingly, the roar of thunder was once perceived as the voice of a god, and those who could seemingly predict or influence weather events often gained significant social and political power.

 
Beginning with ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, the book examines the origins of weather oracles and rainmaking rituals. It progresses through the classical world, analyzing weather divination in Greece and Rome, before broadening its scope to include non-European traditions, such as indigenous North American rain dances.

 
The book uniquely compares weather-related beliefs across diverse cultures, highlighting commonalities and differences in human responses to the natural world.

 
Understanding these historical perspectives offers valuable insights into the cultural impact of climate change and the enduring power of human belief systems.

  • The Plea of Innocence - Restoring Truth to the American Justice System - cover

    The Plea of Innocence -...

    The Plea of Innocence offers a fundamental reform of the adversarial system: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth. 
     
     
     
    While almost all the participants within the system hope that only guilty people will be convicted, the unfortunate reality is that innocent people are convicted and imprisoned at an alarming rate. With the privatization of defense institutions, accused innocent people are themselves responsible for finding the facts that could exonerate them. Though the poor are represented by public defenders— almost no one who is charged with a crime has enough money to pay for a complete defense—it is still accused people, not public officials, who bear the entire burden of proving their innocence. 
     
     
     
    Tim Bakken believes that reform of the three-hundred-year-old adversarial system is overdue, and that the government should be responsible for searching for truth rather than being satisfied with due process. Featuring compelling evidence and concrete steps for reform, The Plea of Innocence is at once sensible and revolutionary, a must-listen for anyone invested in restoring truth to the justice system.

    Money Parties and Democracy -...

    Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron. However, there have been numerous scandals and controversies involving political finance, which pose a serious challenge to fundamental democratic principles.Matteo Bonotti and Zim Nwokora analyze the nature of these democratic risks and how they differ across various models of political finance. They argue that political finance rules ought to counterbalance the weaknesses of the party system they are being used alongside. To do so, political finance rules and party systems should be assessed together, in terms of three distinctive normative dimensions—collegiality, systemic voice, and systemic accountability—which capture what parties, at their best, can contribute to democratic politics. Money, Parties, and Democracy sets out a framework for evaluating political finance systems so that they can be designed or reformed to better support good governance.
