  Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels, and white supremacists. When it materializes, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use?Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy, and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammeled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world.In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiraling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.

  Combining poignant memoir and historical research, a son of Holocaust survivors grapples with the dream of Zionism and its consequences.Israel: A Personal History takes off where Göran Rosenberg's internationally acclaimed and award-winning childhood memoir, A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz, ends. After his father's suicide in 1960 in a small industrial town in Sweden, the remainder of the family, a single mother with two children, emigrates to Israel. At first fully absorbed into the world of pioneer Zionism, enchanted by its visions, formed by its ethos, Rosenberg would eventually embark on a journey of discovery among betrayed ideals, buried stories, false promises, and erased villages.The result is a deeply personal, painstakingly researched, and beautifully written exploration of the contradictory visions that went into the Zionist project, as well as of the ethnic violence, oppression, discrimination, and dispossession caused by its realization. This book is both an exciting history of ideas and the political autobiography of a Jewish European intellectual, a child of dreams and disillusionments, an astute observer of our times.

  Geratology - Understanding Old...

  Geratology is the scientific study of aging, encompassing its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. While often confused with geriatrics, which focuses on medical care for older adults, geratology takes a broader approach, examining aging as a lifelong process that affects individuals and societies in complex ways. Understanding geratology is crucial as global life expectancy rises and aging populations reshape economic, healthcare, and social structures. 
  The origins of geratology trace back to early philosophical and medical inquiries into longevity. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars explored aging as a natural phenomenon, while modern scientific advancements have provided deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Over the past century, geratology has evolved into an interdisciplinary field, drawing from biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to analyze how people age and how societies can better support aging populations. 
  At its core, geratology investigates the biological changes that occur with age. These include cellular senescence, genetic factors, and the gradual decline of organ function. Research into longevity has uncovered key processes such as telomere shortening, oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in age-related diseases. While aging is an inevitable process, scientific advancements continue to explore ways to slow its progression and improve quality of life in later years.

  The Rise and Fall of the...

  The origins of Ancient Egypt trace back to a time when the Nile River served as the lifeline for scattered communities that gradually developed into one of the world’s first great civilizations. The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE marked a turning point, traditionally credited to King Narmer (also known as Menes). This consolidation of power not only brought political unity but also forged a shared identity among the people along the Nile, creating the foundation for the dynastic rule that would follow for centuries. 
  Geography played a central role in shaping early Egyptian civilization. The Nile River, flowing from south to north, provided a reliable source of water and fertile soil through its annual inundation. These floods deposited nutrient-rich silt on the riverbanks, enabling agriculture to flourish in an otherwise arid environment. Settlements grew along the river, connected by the waterway, which also served as a route for trade and communication. Natural barriers such as deserts and the Mediterranean Sea offered protection from external invasions, allowing Egyptian culture to evolve with limited outside interference in its formative years. 
  The Early Dynastic Period (c. 3100–2686 BCE) saw the establishment of the first centralized state under pharaonic rule. Kings were not merely political leaders but were also regarded as divine beings, intermediaries between the gods and the people. This belief in divine kingship helped maintain stability and order in a society where religion permeated all aspects of life. Temples, tombs, and other ceremonial structures began to emerge during this era, laying the groundwork for the grand architectural achievements of later periods.
