James Scott taught us what's wrong with seeing like a state. Now, in his most accessible and personal book to date, the acclaimed social scientist makes the case for seeing like an anarchist. Inspired by the core anarchist faith in the possibilities of voluntary cooperation without hierarchy, Two Cheers for Anarchism is an engaging, high-spirited, and often very funny defense of an anarchist way of seeing - one that provides a unique and powerful perspective on everything from everyday social and political interactions to mass protests and revolutions.

Hvorfor insisterer vi på at dele mennesker op i normale og unormale? Antropologen Christian Groes gør op med idéen om, at nogle hjerner skal fixes, tæmmes eller isoleres. Vi skal i stedet lære at sætte pris på det anderledes. Han drømmer om et overskudssamfund med ligeværd, omsorg og plads til særpræg. Gennem begrebet neodiversitet beskriver han udviklingen af normsamfundet og det skiftende syn på de naturlige varianter i hjernen. Bogens budskab er, at det ikke er de neurodivergente, der er syge eller forkerte, det er normsamfundets indretning, der skal ændres.

Livy continues his magnificent epic, with Rome in complete ruin after the Gallic invasion and sack of the city in 310 B.C. Led by Camillus, one of Rome's great heroic patricians, the city regains her self-confidence and once more becomes the leader of the Latin people. Painstakingly rebuilding alliances, forging friendships, cementing relations among her own people, and fighting endless wars, Rome soon becomes the dominant power among the fractious Italic tribes on the Latin plain.

As a kid growing up in Manhattan, William Helmreich played a game with his father they called "Last Stop." They would pick a subway line and ride it to its final destination, and explore the neighborhood there. Decades later, Helmreich teaches university courses about New York, and his love for exploring the city is as strong as ever. Putting his feet to the test, he decided that the only way to truly understand New York was to walk virtually every block of all five boroughs - an astonishing 6,000 miles.
