Maison d'édition: Publifye

Synopsis

"Living in Russia" offers a comprehensive exploration of the world's largest nation, where ancient traditions and modern life converge across eleven time zones. The book masterfully weaves together three fundamental aspects of Russian society: its vast geographical and cultural diversity, the evolution of post-Soviet communities, and the complex social codes that govern daily life.

 
Through careful analysis of demographic data, sociological surveys, and firsthand accounts, the book reveals how different regions develop distinct cultural identities while maintaining connections to broader Russian traditions. The narrative progresses from an examination of Russia's geographical influence on local communities to an in-depth analysis of urban transformation in major cities and regional centers. Readers discover how Siberian communities adapt to extreme conditions while Baltic coastal regions develop their unique maritime-influenced cultures.

 
The book particularly shines in its detailed exploration of social structures, examining how traditional communal values intersect with modern individualistic tendencies in contemporary Russian society. Throughout its chapters, the work balances academic insight with practical knowledge, making it valuable for both scholars and those planning extended stays in Russia.

 
The book's unique approach combines various disciplines, from economics to linguistics, providing a multifaceted view of Russian life. By examining regional variations in social norms, business practices, and daily routines, while incorporating detailed maps and case studies, the text offers an essential resource for understanding the complexities of modern Russian society.

The Importance of Being Educable...

Leslie Valiant

If we hope to share our planet successfully with one another and the AI systems we are creating, we must reflect on who we are, how we got here, and where we are heading. The Importance of Being Educable puts forward a provocative new exploration of the extraordinary facility of humans to absorb and apply knowledge. The remarkable "educability" of the human brain can be understood as an information processing ability. It sets our species apart, enables the civilization we have, and gives us the power and potential to set our planet on a steady course. While we can readily absorb systems of thought about worlds of experience beyond our own, we struggle to judge correctly what information we should trust. 
 
 
 
In this visionary book, Leslie Valiant argues that understanding the nature of our own educability is crucial to safeguarding our future. After breaking down how we process information to learn and apply knowledge, and drawing comparisons with other animals and AI systems, he explains why education should be humankind's central preoccupation. 
 
 
 
Will the unique capability that has been so foundational to our achievements and civilization continue to drive our progress, or will we fall victim to our vulnerabilities? If we want to protect our collective future, we must better understand and prioritize the importance of being educable.

The Great Retreat - How...

Didi Kuo

Once a centralizing force of the democratic process, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society—less trusted than business, the police, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a "good" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them? 
 
 
 
The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. 
 
 
 
For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties—socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth, while the breakdown of party systems, on the other hand, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties—for without parties, democratic representation is impossible.
