Your Party - Grasping the Enormity of the Moment

Roger Allam

Sinossi

What if saving our democracy from collapse means abandoning traditional political parties altogether? What if there’s a proven way to build movements that don’t just fight — but win?
 
From his prison cell, Roger Hallam — co-founder of Extinction Rebellion — distils decades of experience designing world-shaking campaigns into a guide for building political power. With rare clarity and a personal touch, he shows how concepts like negative dialectics and non-linear dynamics can be turned into organising victories for the new British Left.
 
Drawing on struggles from California farm workers to Chilean popular sectors, Hallam reveals why so many movements fail — and what it really takes to win. The result is a revolutionary blueprint: uncompromising, rooted in lived experience, and charged with intellectual depth.
 
A field guide for the 21st century — a call to action and a map for building the movements that can actually change the world.

A World Rewritten

Santiago Machain

In the aftermath of ideological collapse and technological overreach, humanity stands at a critical crossroads. The old empires have fallen, the myths of progress lie shattered, and yet a new vision begins to rise from the ashes. In this sweeping narrative of political reinvention, cultural restoration, and cognitive evolution, Book Three: A World Rewritten explores a world where history is rewritten, myth and memory merge, and a new civilization struggles to define itself. 
Through alternate histories, radical diplomacy, decentralized knowledge systems, and deeply human questions, this book challenges readers to confront what it means to belong in a world unmoored from its past—but alive with possibility. 
From the fall of Athens to the simulated mind of Alexander the Great, from a world without Columbus to the emergence of unified languages and fractured technologies, this book is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful blueprint. Could a better future still be possible? The answer lives in the stories we choose to tell.

How to Have a Life - An Ancient...

Seneca

A vibrant new translation of Seneca's "On the Shortness of Life," a pointed reminder to make the most of our time 
 
 
 
Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth? In the first century AD, the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offered one of the most famous answers to that question in his essay "On the Shortness of Life"—a work that has more to teach us today than ever before. In How to Have a Life, James Romm presents a vibrant new translation of Seneca's brilliant essay, plus two Senecan letters on the same theme, complete with an inviting introduction. 
 
 
 
With devastating satiric wit, skillfully captured in this translation, Seneca lampoons the ways we squander our time and fail to realize how precious it is. We don't allow people to steal our money, yet we allow them to plunder our time, or else we give it away ourselves in useless, idle pursuits. Seneca also describes how we can make better use of our brief days and years. In the process, he argues, we can make our lives longer, or even everlasting, because to live a real life is to attain a kind of immortality.

Clausewitz - The Prussian...

Kelly Mass

Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist, remains one of the most influential figures in the study of warfare. Born in 1780 in Prussia, Clausewitz entered the military at a young age, where he quickly distinguished himself as a talented strategist and thinker. His career spanned the Napoleonic Wars, where he gained practical experience in the field, as well as in the more reflective study of military theory. His best-known work, On War (Vom Kriege), has been regarded as a cornerstone of modern military thought, delving deeply into the nature of war, its relationship with politics, and the importance of understanding its unpredictable and often chaotic character. 
Clausewitz’s career was marked by his involvement in some of the most significant military campaigns of his time, including those against Napoleon Bonaparte. His firsthand experiences with the brutality and unpredictability of warfare informed much of his thinking, and it is within this context that he formulated his theories about war. One of his most famous assertions, "War is merely the continuation of politics by other means," encapsulates his belief that military conflict is inherently connected to political objectives, and that military strategy cannot be understood in isolation from the larger goals of a nation.
