What is the RSS’ imagination for India? If India becomes a Hindu Rashtra, what will be the place of Muslims and other faiths in it? How big is the RSS project of history writing? Will Hindutva override caste politics? And what is the RSS view of social issues pertaining to the changing nature of family, the rights of people with different sexual orientations and the third gender? These contentious questions are just a few of the myriad political and social issues that Sunil Ambekar, a high-ranking pracharak, analyses in his book, The RSS: Roadmaps for the 21st Century.

In the last three decades of the 20th century, LGBT Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The greater Latino community did not often accept sexual minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background, to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to accommodate a “unified” agenda. To disrupt the cycle of sexism, racism, and homophobia that they experienced, LGBT Latinas/os organized themselves on local, state, and national levels.

Das Smartphone zählt unsere Schritte, die Smartwatch misst unsere Herzfrequenz, und das Smart Home detektiert Zigarettenrauch und Schimpfwörter. Endlich gibt es all diese klugen kleinen Helfer, die uns liebevoll behüten und umsorgen, unser Leben erleichtern. Falsch! Adrian Lobe zeigt, wie uns die Digitaltechnik geradewegs in ein Datengefängnis führt, das wir selbst gebaut haben und so bald nicht wieder verlassen werden.

Recurriendo a sus años como activista y comentarista de los problemas de las mujeres en Medio Oriente, Eltahawy explica que desde que comenzó la Primavera Árabe en 2010, las mujeres en el mundo árabe han tenido dos revoluciones que afrontar: una lucha junto a los hombres contra los regímenes opresivos y otro lucha contra todo un sistema político y económico que reprime a las mujeres en estos países.

Author Stephen Birmingham, who chronicled the rise of Jewish immigrants to extraordinary wealth and success in Our Crowd, now turns his attention to the Irish.

Humano, provocativo y conmovedor, este audiolibro nos habla sobre los espacios que unen a las personas y las cosas, acerca de la sexualidad, la mortalidad y las posibilidades mágicas del arte. La ciudad solitaria es un deslumbrante trabajo de biografía, memorándum y crítica cultural, y una celebración de un estado extraño y encantador, alejado del continente más grande de la experiencia humana, pero intrínseco al mismo acto de estar vivo.

Everyone wants to stay healthy and live forever, and everyone wants to find a way to do that. But there is no magic pill which can be popped to achieve this. That said, there are some ways and techniques which can not only make one stay healthy and fit but also increase one's life span. While, and this is mostly accurate, the factors which are behind one's long life are mostly biological and out of our control, there are certain factors which are under our control and which can be regulated to help us achieve a long and fruitful life.

The anti-corruption movement, led by Kisan Baburao Hazare, more famously known as Anna Hazare, and his motley crew of followers at the Jantar Mantar and Ramlila Maidan, was a series of demonstrations and protests held across India but prominently in New Delhi, to establish strong legislation and enforcement against endemic political corruption in Indian politics. This movement was, in India's recent history, the largest which mobilized common citizens on a ground level.

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

In the past half-century, women have revolutionised the way they work and live. But men’s lives have changed remarkably little. Why? Is it because men don’t want to change? Or is it because, every day in various ways, they are told they shouldn’t? In Men at Work, Annabel Crabb deploys political observation, workplace research and her characteristic humour and intelligence to argue that gender equity cannot be achieved until men are as free to leave the workplace (when their lives demand it) as women are to enter it.

Cincuenta años después de su publicación, Muerte y vida de las grandes ciudades es, según el New York Times, «probablemente la obra más influyente en la historia de la planificación urbana». Jane Jacobs, columnista y crítica de arquitectura en Nueva York de principios de los años sesenta, afirmaba que la diversidad y la vitalidad de las ciudades estaban siendo destruidas por algunos arquitectos y urbanistas muy influyentes.

¿Todo el mundo aspira a ser moderno? ¿En qué consiste lograrlo? Hace tiempo que expresiones como indie, hípster, cultureta, moderno y gafapasta son de uso corriente en nuestras conversaciones. Sus límites resultan borrosos, pero remiten a una realidad social que la industria cultural y las agencias de publicidad utilizan para designar un amplio segmento del mercado. Los hipsters son la primera subcultura que, bajo la apariencia de rebeldía, defiende los valores impuestos por el capitalismo contemporáneo.

Vivimos en la edad del algoritmo. Cada vez más, las decisiones que afectan nuestras vidas no están hechas por humanos, sino por modelos matemáticos. En teoría, esto debería conducir a una mayor equidad: todos son juzgados de acuerdo con las mismas reglas y se elimina el sesgo. Pero como revela Cathy O'Neil en Armas de destrucción matemática, ocurre exactamente lo contrario. Los modelos que se utilizan en la actualidad son opacos, no regulados e incontestables, incluso cuando están equivocados.
