Beschreibung

A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK
One of the New York Times' Nonfiction Books to Read This Spring


When Vauhini Vara was fourteen, her sister was diagnosed with cancer. Too terrified to discuss it with a human, Vara instead turned to the fledgling internet with her questions. Those seminal early experiences influenced her decision to become a technology reporter; decades later, she used a predecessor to ChatGPT to help her write about her sister's death.


In this provocative, timely and highly personal account of our interdependent relationship with technology, she examines the early days of the internet, the encroachment of social media into our lives and how we might work with AI in the future. Brimming with candour, humour and a probing, roving intelligence, Searches anoints Vara, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, as an essential voice for our moment.

    “Thirty-five years ago few could have predicted that The New Science of Politics would be a best-seller by political theory standards. Compressed within the Draconian economy of the six Walgreen lectures is a complete theory of man, society, and history, presented at the most profound and intellectual level. . . . Voegelin’s [work] stands out in bold relief from much of what has passed under the name of political science in recent decades. . . . The New Science is aptly titled, for Voegelin makes clear at the outset that a ’return to the specific content’ of premodern political theory is out of the question. . . . The subtitle of the book, An Introduction, clearly indicates that The New Science of Politics is an invitation to join the search for the recovery of our full humanity.”—From the new Foreword by Dante Germino“This book must be considered one of the most enlightening essays on the character of European politics that has appeared in half a century. . . . This is a book powerful and vivid enough to make agreement or disagreement with even its main thesis relatively unimportant.”—Times Literary Supplement“Voegelin . . . is one of the most distinguished interpreters to Americans of the non-liberal streams of European thought. . . . He brings a remarkable breadth of knowledge, and a historical imagination that ranges frequently into brilliant insights and generalizations.”—Francis G. Wilson, American Political Science Review“This book is beautifully constructed . . . his erudition constantly brings a startling illumination.”—Martin Wright, International Affairs

    This world is built on lies. Cunning lies can start wars, swindle fortunes, or sway elections. So your status in life depends on how well you maneuver around deception. 
    The rich take in the world differently than the masses do, and it gives them an edge. Since they gather better information, they're able to make better decisions. 
    If you currently don't have as much money, freedom, or health as you'd like it's because you've been a victim of the systemic deception all around you. It's in the TV you watch, the conversations you have, the food you eat, and the things you buy. 
    But here's the good news: there is a simple framework for spotting trickery. Firstly, it requires you unfollow the crowd, because the masses make choices based on what they see and hear, so they're easily fooled. But the powerful hone their ability to feel their way through tough terrain, thus avoiding traps. 
    In Rich Instinct, Alex Cespedes helps us sharpen our awareness so we can attain the wealth, health, and freedom we deserve. Because prosperity is everyone's deepest instinct.

    Through centuries of oppression, we were tenants in our own land.
    Today, despite our independence and new-found affluence, we are in the midst of a crisis.
    The question of who owns Ireland is once again taking on a sense of urgency. Is the land of Ireland still for the people of Ireland?
    In a deep and far-reaching investigation, journalist, broadcaster and No. 1 bestselling author Matt Cooper examines the power wielded by those who control the land where we live, work and play. Who are they, how did they acquire so much and what does it mean for ordinary citizens when the ownership of key resources like shopping centres, wind farms, forestry and data centres comes from outside?
    This is a story about how power and money influence and control the present and the future of Ireland … sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Filled with riveting detail, this compelling story of who really owns Ireland is an essential account of the issues that affect every single one of us living on this island.

    The Benin Empire, one of the most powerful and influential kingdoms in West Africa, flourished for over 1,000 years. Its capital, Benin City, located in present-day southern Nigeria, was an epicenter of art, culture, and political power. The empire’s historical significance extends beyond its impressive architectural feats, remarkable artistry, and military prowess, as it was also a hub of trade and diplomacy. 
    The origins of the Benin Empire can be traced back to the early 11th century, with a history deeply intertwined with the Kingdom of Ife, from which the Benin people are believed to have descended. The development of the kingdom was largely shaped by its early rulers, the Obas, whose leadership and vision helped lay the foundation for the Benin Empire. The Benin monarchy, a vital institution in the kingdom, solidified the rule of the Obas and their divine connection to the people. 
    At its peak, the Benin Empire extended its influence over a vast region in West Africa, establishing a complex political and social structure. The monarchy not only commanded political and military power but also served as a central force in religious and cultural life. The empire was renowned for its rich heritage in art, including the world-famous Benin Bronzes, which showcased the advanced craftsmanship and symbolic significance of Benin artisans. These bronzes, intricate sculptures, and plaques, which depicted scenes of royalty, warriors, and historical events, remain symbols of the empire’s grandeur.
