Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In a world obsessed with predicting and controlling the future, one author dares to ask: What if we embraced uncertainty instead?

In this thought-provoking and timely book, Pasquale De Marco argues that our attempts to control the future are not only futile, but also dangerous. He shows how our obsession with futurecasting has led to a loss of control over our own lives and destinies.

Drawing on a wide range of sources, from history and philosophy to psychology and economics, Pasquale De Marco reveals the hidden costs of our future-oriented society. He shows how our fear of the unknown has led us to become more anxious, more risk-averse, and less creative. He also argues that our attempts to control the future have had a devastating impact on the environment and on our relationships with each other.

But Pasquale De Marco does not simply criticize our obsession with the future. He also offers a path forward. He shows how we can learn to live in the present moment, embrace uncertainty, and create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of humanity. It is a call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship to time and to embrace the beauty and mystery of the unknown.

In this book, you will learn:

* Why our attempts to control the future are futile
* The dangers of our obsession with futurecasting
* How to live in the present moment and embrace uncertainty
* How to create a better future for yourself and for generations to come

If you are ready to let go of the illusion of control and embrace the unknown, then this book is for you.

The American Supreme Court -...

Robert G. McCloskey, Sanford...

For more than fifty years, Robert G. McCloskey’s classic work on the Supreme Court’s role in constructing the US Constitution has introduced generations of students to the workings of our nation’s highest court.
 
As in prior editions, McCloskey’s original text remains unchanged. In his historical interpretation, he argues that the strength of the Court has always been its sensitivity to the changing political scene, as well as its reluctance to stray too far from the main currents of public sentiment. In this new edition, Sanford Levinson extends McCloskey’s magisterial treatment to address developments since the 2010 election, including the Supreme Court’s decisions regarding the Defense of Marriage Act, the Affordable Care Act, and gay marriage.
 
The best and most concise account of the Supreme Court and its place in American politics, McCloskey’s wonderfully readable book is an essential guide to the past, present, and future prospects of this institution.

The Tangut Kingdom - And Its...

Rolf Hedger

The Tangut people, an ethnic group of uncertain origins, gradually emerged as a distinct force in northwestern China. They are believed to have descended from the Qiang tribes, a collection of nomadic and semi-nomadic groups that roamed the Tibetan Plateau and the Ordos region. Over centuries, they migrated and settled in what is now modern-day Ningxia and parts of Gansu and Inner Mongolia, where they established communities and developed a unique cultural identity. Their position between the Tibetan Plateau, the Central Asian steppes, and the Chinese heartland made them an important intermediary in regional affairs.
The Tangut rise to prominence was influenced by their interactions with the dominant powers of the region. The Tibetan Empire, which controlled vast areas of western China until its decline in the ninth century, played a significant role in shaping early Tangut culture and governance. The collapse of the Tibetan Empire created a power vacuum that allowed smaller groups like the Tangut to assert their independence. At the same time, the weakening of the Tang Dynasty left northern China vulnerable to fragmentation, further enabling the Tangut to carve out a space for themselves.
By the tenth century, the Tangut had developed into a formidable military and political entity, leveraging their strategic location along trade routes to establish economic and diplomatic ties with neighboring states. They maintained relations with the Song Dynasty to the east, the Tibetan remnants to the south, and the nomadic Khitan Liao Empire to the north. These interactions not only enriched Tangut society but also introduced them to a variety of political models, from the bureaucratic governance of the Chinese dynasties to the tribal confederations of the steppe.

From Red Terror to Terrorist...

Yuri Felshtinsky, Vladimir Popov

'Detail worthy of a John le Carre novel.' Telegraph The history of modern Russia traditionally has Communism at its centre: Lenin defines its rise, Gorbachev its fall, and Putin its aftermath. In this radical new history, Yuri Felshtinsky and Vladimir Popov, however, introduce a new historical axis: the Cheka―the Bolsheviks' nebulous revolutionary intelligence service. Wrapped around the Party in a fight to the death from 1918 under its first head Felix Dzerzhinsky, only Stalin was able to resist its stranglehold at the cost of enormous bloodshed. Luring Russia into submission over less than a century, its murder-plots and unrivalled scheming culminated in the capture of the Kremlin in 2000. Drawing on Popov's secret documents of over two decades as a senior officer in one of the KGB's key covert sections, and on Felshtinsky's encyclopedic knowledge of Russian state archives open in the 1990s, little-known sources, and access to leading oligarchs, a new Russian history emerges. The story they tell is often unexpected while introducing a new cast of characters still of great influence―potentially surpassing Lenin's role―on our world today. From Red Terror to Terrorist State is the first complete history of the Cheka. Written from the inside, it fundamentally transforms our understanding of Russia and rethinks the way today's Kremlin views itself and the rest of the world. Animated by lifelong study, this authoritative narrative by two exceptional Russian-intelligence experts presents ground-breaking new insights based on an unrivalled wealth of new factual details.
