Sinopse

Human Rights Evolution explores the historical development of human rights, from early concepts of justice to modern international law. It examines how these rights have been codified and the significant obstacles that impede their global enforcement. Understanding the history of human rights is critical, especially considering that violations persist worldwide. For example, while the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) set a foundational standard, political repression and economic inequality continue to undermine its principles. The book delves into the architecture of international human rights law, including the role of treaties and conventions, while also grappling with the challenges of enforcement. It acknowledges the tension between national sovereignty and international norms, providing a comprehensive overview that traces the evolution of human rights ideas through landmark events like the Enlightenment and World Wars. By analyzing the content and scope of key international treaties, the book rigorously examines the key challenges facing the international human rights system.

 
The book progresses through different parts, first laying the groundwork by tracing the historical roots of human rights ideas. It then dissects the legal architecture, analyzing the content and scope of key international treaties. Next, the book will rigorously analyze the key challenges facing the international human rights system. Finally, it assesses the role of international organizations as well as NGOs in promoting and protecting human rights, evaluating their effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement. This approach offers a balanced assessment of different perspectives, making it valuable for anyone interested in the history and future of global human rights.

    Seamus Justin Heaney (April 13, 1939 to August 30, 2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. Among his best-known works is Death of a Naturalist (1966), his first major published volume. American poet Robert Lowell described Heaney as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats." Heaney delivered his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech in Stockholm on December 7, 1995--a powerful defense of poetry as "the ship and the anchor" of our spirit within an ocean of violent, divisive politics and world-sorrow.

    Whitehead's The Function Of Reason

    Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being anti-scientific.
     
    This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain). It is hard to find a contemporary thinker with a better perspective on the nature and role of natural science than Whitehead who, with Bertrand Russell, published the Principia Mathematica in 1910; who taught logic and mathematics at Trinity College of Cambridge University; who taught philosophy of science at University College London; and who was professor of philosophy at Harvard University beginning in 1924. Whitehead’s cosmology is far from anti-scientific, but he does explain why scientific method and technological practice alone are not able to provide a comprehensive understanding of the full range of human thought and experience. This work explains what we must do to achieve such a comprehensive understanding.

    The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn't come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society. Drawing on his twenty years of experience as a scholar of science denial, McIntyre explains how autocrats wield disinformation to manipulate a populace and deny obvious realities, why the best way to combat disinformation is to disrupt its spread, and most importantly, how we can win the war on truth. 
     
     
     
    McIntyre goes through the history of strategic denialism to show how we arrived at this precarious political moment and identifies the creators, amplifiers, and believers of disinformation. On Disinformation lays out ten everyday practical steps that we can take as ordinary citizens—from resisting polarization to pressuring our Congresspeople to regulate social media—as well as the important steps our government (if we elect the right leaders) must take. 
     
     
     
    On Disinformation empowers us to save our republic from autocracy before it is too late.

    This program is ready by Audie Award–winning narrator Holter Graham.A bridge-burning, riotous memoir by a top PR operative in Washington who exposes the secrets of the $129-billion industry that controls so much of what we see and hear in the media—from a man who used to pull the strings, and who is now pulling back the curtain.After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that’s made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he’s been up to for the past twenty years—and it isn’t pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer’s row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public—not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career.This is a piercing look into the corridors of money, power, politics, and control, all told in Elwood’s disarmingly funny and entertaining voice. He recounts a four-day Las Vegas bacchanal with a dictator’s son, plotting communications strategies against a terrorist organization in Western Africa, and helping to land a Middle Eastern dictator’s wife a glowing profile in Vogue on the same time the Arab Spring broke out. And he reveals all his slippery tricks for seducing journalists in order to create chaos and ultimately cover for politicians, dictators, and spies—the industry-secret tactics that led to his rise as a political PR pro. Along the way, Phil walks the halls of the Capitol, rides in armored cars through Abuja, and watches his client lose his annual income at the roulette table. But as he moved up the ranks, he felt worse and worse about the sleaziness of it all—until Elwood receives a shocking wake-up call from the FBI. This risky game nearly cost Elwood his life and his freedom. Seeing the light, Elwood decides to change his ways, and his clients, and to tell the full truth about who is the worst human.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  • Designed to Fail - How Modern Economic Systems Evolved to Feed on Perpetual Crisis — And How We Can Save Ourselves from Our Own Destruction - cover

    Designed to Fail - How Modern...

    What if the systems we rely on don’t just fail to solve societal problems, but are designed to perpetuate them? If the very things that make life meaningful—well-being, human connection, and stability—are sacrificed to uphold fragile economic structures, is life within these systems truly worth living? When health declines, relationships fracture, and communities dissolve, what remains? 
    Uncovering the hidden mechanics of the crisis economy, this book reveals how manufactured crises fuel economic growth, turning fear, division, and instability into the most valuable commodities. It explores how industries sustain themselves not by solving problems, but by ensuring they never truly disappear. From the processed food industry to digital isolation, media-driven polarization, and pharmaceutical dependence, systemic instability isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of the modern economic model. 
    Beyond exposing the problem, this book asks whether an alternative is possible. Can ethical industry scale without being consumed by the system it seeks to challenge? How can modern technologies like AI and blockchain be harnessed to ensure integrity? Can individuals reclaim autonomy in a world designed to keep them in a perpetual state of anger and uncertainty? And if ethical industry is achievable, can it meaningfully reduce the suffering embedded in the systems that sustain it, or is profit through human hardship an unavoidable reality? 
    This book doesn’t just expose these systems—it challenges the individual to look within, reclaim their agency, and recognize their ability to chip away at the structures of suffering, generating small but powerful ripples of positive change that may one day shape a brighter future. 
    For those seeking to understand the quiet, systemic degeneration of modern societies, this book is your starting point.
