  Why War?

  Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
   
   
   
  Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
   
   
   
  A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.

  The possibility of discovering extra-terrestrial life has captivated the human imagination for centuries, fuelling countless works of fiction and inspiring scientific exploration. As our understanding of the universe expands, so too does the likelihood of finding life beyond Earth. 
   
  This book delves into the profound impact that the discovery of extra-terrestrial life could have on both religion and society. Throughout history, scientific discoveries have often challenged religious beliefs and sparked debates about the nature of our existence. The potential revelation of alien life forms raises profound questions about the relationship between faith and science, ethical considerations, and the broader cultural and societal implications. 
   
  By examining the historical context, theological discussions, societal responses, and ethical frameworks, we aim to explore the multifaceted impact that the discovery of extra-terrestrial life may have on our world.

  Criminal Justice in Divided...

  How a broken criminal justice system has fueled the crisis of American democracy, and how we can address both problems together.Criminal Justice in Divided America shows how police, courts, and prisons helped to break American democracy and how better approaches to public safety and criminal accountability can help to repair it. Engaging critically with concerns from both the left and the right, Sklansky lays out a clear and deeply researched agenda for reforming police departments, prosecutors' offices, criminal trials, and punishment. Sklansky seeks pragmatic solutions that take account of political realities: the lofty ideal of empowering "the people" or "the community" can mean little when members of the public or the community disagree. While efforts to "defund" the police have exacerbated political conflicts without addressing the underlying problem of how and when force should be used to protect public safety, reforms aimed at improving police accountability, restraining prosecutorial power, and expanding the role of juries can bring together warring parties who share a concern for justice.Ultimately, Sklansky argues, reform must be rooted in a strong commitment to pluralism―bridging political divides rather than worsening them, strengthening democracy, and securing the broad support that enables durable change.
