  • Nature - cover

    Nature

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Emerson's Nature is not just an essay—it's a rebellion against confinement, an argument against secondhand wisdom. He strips away artifice, forcing us to confront the raw, untamed presence of the world. To walk through the woods, he suggests, is to be undressed of civilization, to shed the weight of customs, history, and ego. Nature demands no commentary, no theory—it simply is.
    This is not the sentimental nature of poets, nor the docile landscape of painters. Emerson's nature is unsettling, absolute. It dwarfs human concerns, shames our institutions, and reduces grandeur to irrelevance. It teaches, but never speaks. It heals, but never consoles. It is, above all, free—and it mocks those who try to own or define it.
    He challenges us: why do we live in exile from the elemental? Why do we build palaces only to stare longingly at the horizon? The stars, the trees, the shifting light—they whisper something we've forgotten. To listen is not just to understand nature, but to remember who we were before we forgot to look.

    A Brief Global History of the Left

    The Left seems to be dying a slow death. While many commenters have predicted its demise, the Left has always defied these bleak prognoses and risen from the ashes in the most unexpected ways. Nevertheless, we are witnessing today a global decline in organized movements on the Left, and while social struggles and rebellious citizens continue to challenge dominant political regimes, these efforts do not translate into support for traditional left parties or into the creation of dynamic movements on the left. 
     
     
     
    Bestselling historian Shlomo Sand argues that the global decline of the Left is linked to the waning of the idea of equality that has united citizens in the past and inspired them to engage in collective action. Sand retraces the evolution of this idea in a wide-ranging account that includes seventeenth-century England, the French Revolution, the birth of anarchism and Marxism, the decolonial, feminist, and civil rights revolts, and the left populism of our time. In piecing together the thinkers and movements that built the Left, Sand illuminates the global and transnational dynamics which pushed them forward, often picking up the gauntlets their predecessors had laid down. He outlines how they shaped the notion of equality, while also analyzing how they were confronted by its material reality, and the lessons that they did—or did not—draw from this.

In 2025, critically acclaimed writer Matt Majendie spent a season behind the scenes with Formula One team Red Bull Racing during one of the most controversial and dramatic years in the history of the sport. No journalist has been given the level of access that Majendie enjoyed as he found himself walking the secretive corridors of the hi-tech team factory in the UK; trackside at race after race; inside the garage, on the driver's luxury yachts, and even racing the streets of Monaco with Max Verstappen, the greatest driver of this, and perhaps any, era, as he chases history.  Join Majendie on the pit wall as Christian Horner's dominant reign as team supremo finally runs its course, as drivers come and go - youngster Liam Lawson brutally axed after just two races - and Verstappen wrestles with the limitations of a car that refuses to be tamed, fighting with rivals like Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, taking the season down to its final minutes. From mechanics to engineers, race strategists to team leaders, head honchos to the thousands who ensure the machine turns, this is F1 racing as you've never seen it.AUDIO EXCLUSIVES: LISTEN TO LIVE AUDIO DIARIES FROM THE TRACKSIDE AS MATT DOCUMENTS THE FINAL EXHILARATING RACES OF THE YEAR, FOLLOWED BY A BONUS Q&A WITH MATT'S EDITOR AND PUBLISHER AS THEY DISCUSS WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE THERE, INSIDE RED BULL RACING, FOR THE MOST THRILLING SEASON IN F1 HISTORY...
