In the more than five tumultuous, paradigm-shifting years of Donald Trump’s presidency and beyond, his near-constant lying has become a fixture of political life. It is inextricably linked with how his party behaves, how the Democrats respond to it, and how he remains relevant, even after a decisive loss in 2020. Jonathan Lemire brings his connections, profile, and reportorial instincts to bear in his first book that explores how this phenomenon shapes our politics. The Big Lie is the first audiobook to examine this unprecedented and tenuous moment in our nation’s politics.

Gli esperti di politica fanno sempre più fatica a orientarsi in un territorio mobile, di cui è facile smarrire la mappa. Anche perché concentrano l'attenzione sui protagonisti della ribalta politica - i governi, le istituzioni, i partiti - e trascurano il retroscena sociale. In particolare, ignorano quei "microclimi d'opinione" che improntano i mondi locali e i rapporti interpersonali. In questo modo, però, molti fenomeni diventano invisibili e inspiegabili.

The story of America is the struggle between our liberal ideal and illiberal resistance. Donald Trump catalyzed a reactionary revolution by tapping into the dark, shadowy side of American democracy that embraces exclusion and inequality. Throughout American history these alarming impulses have come to the forefront of our culture — during the Civil War, the era of the Robber Barons, and the Civil Rights Movement — but have now come to fruition in the presidency of Donald Trump.

Vad händer med de mänskliga relationerna när en större och större del av våra liv spenderas i den digitala världen? När de verkliga mötena blir allt färre förändras vårt sätt att förhålla oss till varandra. Positiva effekter, såsom ökad empati och djupare relationer, uteblir när vårt sociala umgänge inte längre innebär fysiska träffar. Vi är mer tillgängliga än någonsin - ändå förflyttas vi allt längre ifrån varandra. Hur balanserar man egentligen det digitala och det fysiska? Och hur vårdar man, på riktigt, en relation i de sociala mediernas tid?

En junio de 2018, la más atroz decisión de Donald Trump como presidente, llevaba meses operando en secreto, antes de que la mayoría de los estadounidenses se percatara de la inconcebible falta de humanidad que estaba siendo perpetrada por su propio Gobierno. Jacob Soboroff fue de los primeros periodistas en exhibir esta realidad después de observar, de primera mano, las condiciones bajo las que vivían los menores en custodia.

The Capitalist and the Activist offers an engaging and thoughtful look at the new reality of corporate social activism - its driving forces, promises and perils, and implications for our businesses and personal lives.

Die Antideutschen sind eine kleine, aber schrille Politsekte, die so weit links ist, dass sie schon wieder rechts angelangt ist. Einige waren mal Funktionäre von K-Gruppen, andere kommen vom Schwarzen Block oder sind bloß Anti-Ostdeutsche, die Kleinbürger verachten. Sie haben viele Sympathisanten in den Medien. Das verleiht ihnen mehr Einfluss, als für Deutschland gut ist. Eva Schweitzer zeigt die Ursprünge dieser Ideologie in den USA auf, und legt den schädlichen Einfluss der Antideutschen offen und erklärt, wer hinter diesem Phänomen steckt.

Having access to natural, green spaces is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. But, as urban development spreads, grey has become the new green. Already, concrete outweighs every tree, bush and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide - especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. To combat this, Nature Is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognised right for all, not a privilege.

Michael Lynch, the central figure of this book, was a long-time gay activist and a dynamic force in organizing an early response to the AIDS epidemic. Lynch’s prescient articles in The Body Politic spoke to the gay communities of Toronto, New York, and San Francisco. His organizing efforts meant change and hope.

For 22 years, politicians and businessmen pushed for the Adams Mine landfill as a solution to Ontario’s garbage disposal crisis. This plan to dump millions of tonnes of waste into the fractured pits of the Adams Mine prompted five separate civil resistance campaigns by a rural region of 35,000 in Northern Ontario.

Superheroes, Movies, and the State sets a new standard for exploring the government-Hollywood relationship as it persuasively documents the critical role different government agencies have played in shaping characters, stories, and even the ideas behind the hottest entertainment products.

Europa steht vor einem Make-it-or-Break-it-Moment. Nie waren die inneren Fliehkräfte so stark, nie der äußere Druck auf die Europäische Union und ihre Mitglieder so groß. Wir stecken in einem Systemkonflikt mit autoritären Regimen wie China und Russland. Die renommierte Europaexpertin und Politikberaterin Daniela Schwarzer analysiert so nüchtern wie überzeugend: Der Zusammenhalt und die Handlungsfähigkeit müssen intern gestärkt werden, und nach außen muss Europa nach einer Klärung seiner Interessen viel strategischer auftreten. Denn unsere Herausforderer schlafen nicht.

Una buena estrategia trata de que nuestro candidato actúe con la racionalidad del torero y su adversario con la furia del toro. La política es fuerza, pero ante todo es inteligencia. El candidato más exitoso no es el más alto y fornido, sino el que piensa y planifica mejor

Bloody Crossroads 2020 takes a deep dive into the role that mass-appeal movies, television, videos, and music played in America's political culture in the year of Donald Trump's failed reelection campaign. The book also explores the impact of entertainment celebrities in communications, fundraising, and campaigning to support the election of Joe Biden.

#Ibridocene è un breve saggio che raccoglie le riflessioni a margine di una serie di dialoghi, condotti da Paolo Iabichino in pieno lockdown e chiusi insieme a Luciano Floridi, che qui fornisce un vademecum per l'età ibrida, attorno al tempo sospeso e carico di contraddizioni che chiunque di noi sta vivendo.

Siamo di fronte a un bivio antropologico: da una parte il ritorno alle strade già battute, dall'altra un sentiero decisamente inesplorato dove ci sono solo pochissime tracce, quelle di chi sta provando a mostrare rotte misteriose, ma ricco di nuove opportunità.

Lis Smith isn’t your average political strategist and Any Given Tuesday isn’t your typical political memoir. At once a revealing look at human nature at the highest levels of power and an intimate portrayal of a sometimes rocky personal journey, it breaks all the rules. Smith doesn’t pretend to be perfect—she owns the controversial choices that landed her in the tabloids, as well as the unorthodox ones that have paid off and defined her successful career.

George Washington’s nightmare has been realized. Despite his warning about the negative effects of party loyalties, the US government has become paralyzed by partisanship, allowing national challenges to go unaddressed. As an independent candidate for US Senate in 2018, Neal Simon witnessed the destructive nature of modern American politics. He experienced firsthand the perverse incentives that push candidates and lawmakers to ideological extremes. He watched as party leaders resisted pragmatic solutions to our nation’s problems.

For decades, the Republican Party has been known as the party of the rich: arguing for “business-friendly” policies like deregulation and tax cuts. But this incisive political history shows that the current inequality crisis was also enabled by a Democratic Party that catered to the affluent. The result is one of the great missed opportunities in political history: a moment when we had the chance to change the lives of future generations and were too short-sighted to take it.

Behind the deeply contentious 2020 election stands a real story of a broken election process. Election fraud that alters election outcomes and dilutes legitimate votes occurs all too often, as is the bungling of election bureaucrats. Our election process is full of vulnerabilities that can be - and are - taken advantage of, raising questions about, and damaging public confidence in, the legitimacy of the outcome of elections.

Porque solo una derecha sin complejos, unida, que plante cara a los dogmas de lo políticamente correcto y esté humildemente orgullosa de la Historia de España, puede ofrecer una alternativa ilusionante y atractiva a los españoles.
