Sinopsis

In "The American Crisis," Thomas Paine delivers a series of compelling pamphlets that serve as a rallying cry for the American Revolution during its most tumultuous moments. Written in a clear, persuasive style, Paine employs rhetorical strategies that invoke both reason and emotion, making his arguments accessible and impactful. The pamphlets address the challenges facing the colonies, emphasizing themes of resilience, freedom, and the moral imperative of independence, while also critiquing complacency and advocating for greater commitment to the revolutionary cause. Paine's work is situated within the broader context of Enlightenment thought and republican ideals, positioning it as both a historical document and a foundational text of American political philosophy. Thomas Paine, an English-born political theorist and activist, played a pivotal role in the emergence of American democratic ideals. His experiences with oppression in England and his belief in the rights of individuals shaped his staunch advocacy for liberty and self-governance. Paine's prior work, including "Common Sense," established him as a revolutionary figure, and "The American Crisis" further demonstrates his commitment to political activism during the formative years of the United States. Recommended not only for its historical significance but also for its elegant prose and enduring message, "The American Crisis" is essential reading for those interested in the philosophy of revolution, the struggle for independence, and the birth of American identity. Paine'Äôs unapologetic passion and incisive logic resonate powerfully, making this a pivotal text for understanding the spirit of the American Revolution.

Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.

In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. 
 
 
 
Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from nineteenth century imperial feminists and police officers to twentieth century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. 
 
 
 
At once a left transfeminist battle cry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.

An eye-opening examination of the ties between American gun culture and white male supremacy from the American Revolution to today. 
 
 
 
One-third of American adults—approximately 86 million people—own firearms. This is not just for protection or hunting. Although many associate gun-centric ideology with individualist and libertarian traditions in American political culture, Race, Rights, and Rifles shows that it rests on an equally old but different foundation. Instead, Alexandra Frilindra shows that American gun culture can be traced back to the American Revolution when republican notions of civic duty were fused with a belief in white male supremacy and a commitment to maintaining racial and gender hierarchies. 
 
 
 
Drawing on wide-ranging historical and contemporary evidence, Race, Rights, and Rifles traces how this ideology emerged during the Revolution and became embedded in America's institutions, from state militias to the National Rifle Association (NRA). Utilizing original survey data, Filindra reveals how many white Americans—including those outside of the NRA's direct orbit—embrace these beliefs, and as a result, they are more likely than other Americans to value gun rights over voting rights, embrace antidemocratic norms, and justify political violence.

"The Prince" is a political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli, written in 1513 and published in 1532. The book is a pragmatic guide for political leaders, focused on how to maintain power and navigate the complex and often ruthless world of governance. Although the text is commonly viewed as a manual for manipulation and a justification for Machiavellian deceit and cunning, it has also been interpreted as a realistic, if cynical, analysis of power dynamics. The work is a foundational text in political theory and continues to be studied and debated today.
