  This book consists of two titles, which are: 
  Border Control: In today’s interconnected world, the challenge of managing borders has become one of the most contentious issues facing governments, societies, and international organizations. Border control, at its core, is a delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding human rights, between enforcing laws and fostering economic opportunities. As global mobility increases through migration, trade, and technology, managing borders has evolved into a complex issue that transcends national boundaries. It’s no longer just a matter of controlling who enters and exits a country; it’s about managing flows of people, goods, information, and even ideas in ways that protect citizens while also adhering to international law.  
  Refugees: The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions.

  An Ethics for Today - Finding...

  Richard Rorty

  • 0

  One of the most widely discussed philosophers of the 21st century finds common ground between spiritual and secular ethics in this provocative book.As controversial and he was influential, Richard Rorty developed a brand of philosophical pragmatism that rejects all theories of truth. His groundbreaking work also dismisses modern epistemology and its preoccupation with knowledge and representation. Though he was a strict secularist, Rorty believed there could be no universally valid answers to moral questions. This led him to a surprisingly complex view of religion rarely expressed in his writings. In this posthumous publication, Rorty finds in the pragmatic thought of John Dewey, John Stuart Mill, William James, and George Santayana, among others, a political imagination shared by religious traditions. Rather than promote belief or nonbelief, Rorty seeks to locate patterns of similarity and difference so an ethics of decency and a politics of solidarity can rise. He particularly responds to Pope Benedict XVI and his campaign against the relativist vision. Whether holding theologians, metaphysicians, or political ideologues to account, Rorty remains steadfast in his opposition to absolute uniformity and its exploitation of political strength.

  The 20th anniversary edition of the definitive classic on defeating obsessive-compulsive behavior, with all-new material from the author. 
   
  An estimated 5 million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally, OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.  
  In Brain Lock, Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., presents a simple four-step method for overcoming OCD that is so effective, it's now used in academic treatment centers throughout the world. Proven by brain-imaging tests to actually alter the brain's chemistry, this method doesn't rely on psychopharmaceuticals. Instead, patients use cognitive self-therapy and behavior modification to develop new patterns of response to their obsessions. In essence, they use the mind to fix the brain.  
  Using the real-life stories of actual patients, Brain Lock explains this revolutionary method and provides readers with the inspiration and tools to free themselves from their psychic prisons and regain control of their lives.
