صدر هذا الكتاب عام 1998، ويضمُّ مجموعة من أهم مقالات الدكتور مصطفى محمود التي تتناول مظاهر التدهور القِيَمِي والأخلاقي الذي تشهده الحياة المعاصرة نتيجة التطورات الفكرية والاجتماعية والسياسية، وكيف تحوَّل المشهد المعاصر إلى العنف والدموية والصراخ والتشنُّج، وكيف تسبب كل ذلك في الشقاء والإرهاق الذي أصاب الأغلبية العظمى من الناس. ومن ناحية أخرى يُقدِّم تحليلًا للمشهد السياسي الذي تقوم أمريكا بإخراجه وتنفيذه لصالح أجندتها الاستعمارية، من دعمها للوجود الصهيوني في المنطقة، وتمويلها للتطرف والإرهاب والأيدي الخفِيِّة التي تعبث من وراء الستار.

Compulsive Body Spaces presents a spatial understanding of compulsion. Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

Life partner intergenerational marriage developed over centuries, each faith creating their own rules of behavior. At the Founding of the United States of America, Religious Freedom was the cornerstone of society. At the start, couples would enter into the vows of their respective faith without government interference. In 1877, consistent with the Constitution, the United States Supreme Court declared that marital was a private contract. Eleven years later, four Justices declared that the amorphous State had always regulated marriage and divorce.

A critical examination of how inequality and cultural inertia hinder meaningful climate action. The challenges of climate change, like so many issues today, are not evenly distributed across social and economic lines. In this sobering exploration of the interconnected crises of climate change and social inequality, William M. Epstein examines how entrenched cultural values and systemic inequities thwart meaningful climate action, driving humanity closer to catastrophic consequences.

Despite the flames of record-breaking temperatures licking at our feet, most people fail to fully grasp the gravity of environmental overheating. What acquired habits and conveniences allow us to turn a blind eye with an air of detachment? Using examples from the hottest places on earth, Heat, a History shows how scientific methods of accounting for heat and modern forms of acclimatization have desensitized us to climate change.

" Une plongée vertigineuse dans les racines de la violence et dans les ravages du fanatisme. Et un vibrant plaidoyer pour que subsiste, même dans l'horreur, une part d'humanité. " Le Parisien week-end. Comment rester debout face à la violence, à l'horreur ? Comment regarder dans les yeux celui qui vous a enlevé ce que vous aviez de plus précieux ? Comment pardonner à l'assassin d'un des siens ? Comment garder espoir quand tant d'atrocités sont commises au nom de la religion ? Toutes ces questions qui nous assaillent dans une actualité toujours plus tragique, Colum McCann y a été confronté lors de sa rencontre avec Diane Foley.

The Variable of Violence will review exactly that, the aggression, chaos, and tension that broils in and through us. Specifically, the seemingly endless battles we face in our journey to understand God, the purpose of work, those whom we associate with, and our own susceptibilities.

Comment le meurtre sexualisé est-il devenu une pièce centrale de nos mythologies – une évidence visuelle et narrative, un horizon d'attente, la grammaire sempiternelle de nos livres et de nos films ?

Human trafficking, particularly in the context of sex trafficking, represents a grotesque violation of human rights that transcends borders and societal norms. It involves the recruitment, transportation, and exploitation of individuals through coercion, deception, or abuse of power. Victims are often lured with false promises of employment, education, or a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of abuse and degradation.

Shut The Hell Up is not a polite book. It’s a war manual. A hard-hitting, No-excuse blueprint designed to break the chains of delusion, emotional fragility, and societal programming. Timothy Hill, founder of The Life Codes Institute, dismantles the comfort zone and builds a framework for radical self-honesty, personal evolution, and generational change. This book doesn’t beg for attention—it demands action. This is not self-help. This is self-command. And it begins the moment you Shut The Hell Up.

Police Against the Movement shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds.

Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization.

Pendant un mois, et jusqu'au jour du verdict du procès dit " des viols de Mazan ", un collectif d'anthropologues s'est installé à Avignon pour mener ensemble une enquête ethnographique inédite. Le parti-pris de départ était de considérer ce procès comme un " évènement ", concept fertile en sciences sociales – mais aussi en littérature comme l'a montré Annie Ernaux – pour mettre en lumière un basculement ou une pliure dans l'ordre des choses.

The Trillion Dollar Silencer investigates the astounding lack of popular protest at the death and destruction that the military industrial complex is inflicting on people, nations, and the environment, and its budget-draining costs.
