Summary

Information Control Strategies explores how societies attempt to manage and manipulate the flow of information, examining both historical methods and modern digital propaganda. The book highlights the techniques used to control narratives and their profound impact on public opinion, policy decisions, and democratic institutions. It reveals that while access to information has grown exponentially, so has the sophistication of methods designed to mislead, such as the strategic deployment of censorship and surveillance. 

 
The book begins by tracing the evolution of information control through history, from ancient censorship to 20th-century propaganda, providing a foundation for understanding current trends. It argues that these strategies consistently exploit psychological vulnerabilities and manipulate social dynamics.

 
Structured in three parts, the book introduces theoretical frameworks, examines specific techniques like fake news and bots, and analyzes real-world case studies. By merging insights from political science, communication studies, and cybersecurity, the book offers a holistic perspective.

 
Ultimately, Information Control Strategies equips readers with the knowledge to critically evaluate information, identify disinformation campaigns, and contribute to a more informed society. It emphasizes the enduring principles of information control in the digital age, providing valuable insights for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding information warfare.

    Breaking the Gender Code - Women...

    From the closing years of the nineteenth century, women received subtle—and not so subtle—messages that they shouldn't be in public. Or, if they were, that they were not safe. Breaking the Gender Code tells the story of both this danger narrative and the resistance to it. 
 
 
 
Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts. In doing so, Hickey explores how gender segregation intertwined with other systems of social control, as well as how class, race, and sexuality shaped activists' agendas and women's experiences of urban space. Drawing connections between the vulnerability of women in public spaces, real and presumed, and contemporary debates surrounding rape culture, bathroom bills, and domestic violence, Hickey unveils both the strikingly successful and the incomplete initiatives of activists who worked to open up public space to women.

    The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat hahayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” The third volume deals with justice (Volume 3, chapters 1-3) and friendship (chapters 4-8 and 13), love (chapter 9), the five intellectual virtues: understanding, science, wisdom, prudence, and art (chapter 10-11), and the learning of sciences as a path to virtue (chapter 12). This work presents itself as a pedagogical endeavor, intended to provide advice for leading a virtuous life.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.

Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and de facto ruler, is one of the most influential political figures in the world, yet much about him remains mysterious, even to those who are impressed by his groundbreaking economic and social decisions and unprecedented reforms.  
In Blood and Oil (2020), journalists Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck immerse readers into the twisted world of the Saudi dynasty. They explore the political and foreign agenda of the 36-year-old ruler, who, despite claiming openness and modernity, uses coercion and deadly means to silence dissidents and impose fear. They tackle Saudi Arabia’s strategic relations with the US and its regional allies, as well as its moves against its arch-enemy Iran.
