The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, marking the founding of the United States. Following its adoption by the Continental Congress, this declaration declared the thirteen American colonies' independence from British domination.

Award-winning author Michael Harris examines why our experience of solitude has become so impoverished and how we may grow to love it again in the frenzy of our digital landscape. Solitude is an optimistic and encouraging story about discovering true quiet inside the city, inside the crowd, inside our busy and urbane lives. Harris guides listeners away from a life of ceaseless pings toward a state of measured connectivity, one that balances solitude and companionship.

Imagine this: You’ve just hired someone for a job, but instead of showing initiative, they spend more time scrolling on their phone, wondering why they’re not the boss yet. Or perhaps you’ve seen a viral video of someone celebrated for doing… absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, your own hard work feels undervalued in a culture that rewards mediocrity. Sound familiar? In today’s world, intelligence, skill, and grit seem to take a back seat to viral fame and unearned entitlement. You’re left wondering: When did ambition become a dirty word?

In The Shape of Change, Dynamic Materialism and Adaptive Realism are introduced as complementary frameworks that redefine how we understand and navigate the complexities of interconnected systems in a rapidly changing world. Dynamic Materialism emphasizes the material and structural forces that drive systemic behavior, focusing on feedback loops, constraints, and emergent properties that govern the evolution of ecosystems, economies, and technologies.

For 2500 years people have been debating how literature changes lives, and versions of those debates continue today in classrooms, school and library boardrooms, and state legislatures. The life-transforming potential of books caught the attention of Dante, Cervantes, Jane Austen, Percy Shelley, and many others. Better Living through Literature surveys what the great thinkers have said on the subject, from Plato and Aristotle to Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud to W. E. B Du Bois, Harold Bloom, and Martha Nussbaum.

Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences – ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history’s most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones.

"Everything is sad," wrote the Ancient poets. But is this sadness merely a human experience, projected onto the world, or is there a gloom attributable to the world itself? Could the universe be forever weeping the "tears of things"? In this series of meditations, Dominic Pettman and Eugene Thacker explore some of the key "negative affects"—both eternal and emergent—associated with climate change, environmental destruction, and cosmic solitude. In so doing they unearth something so obvious that it has gone largely unnoticed: the question of how we should feel about climate change.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Staatsphilosophen der Neuzeit. Sein Standardwerk "Der Fürst" ist noch immer Pflichtlektüre für Manager und BWL-Studenten. Sein zweites Hauptwerk, die "Discorsi", befasst sich mit dem idealen Staat - und wie er zu bewahren sei. Er bedient sich dabei der römischen Geschichte und zeigt viele Beispiele, wie das zu Machiavellis Zeit darniederliegende Italien zu neuem Ruhm gelangen könne. "Mensch und Staat" ist die ideale Ergänzung zum "Fürsten" - genau so klar in der Argumentation, genau so zeitlos in den Schlussfolgerungen.

Wherever there’s a rule, there is someone with the power to apply or ignore it—or add to it, in the interest of justice. From enforcing chores to issuing life sentences, decision-makers deliver flawed and sometimes arbitrary outcomes. But is their use of discretion good or bad overall? As a society, should we seek to minimize or maximize discretion, with all its potential for bias and other kinds of human error? Reframing our understanding of justice and ethics, philosopher Barry Lam argues that while use of discretion can never be perfect, removing it has even more problematic effects.

Behind every market shift, technological breakthrough, and social movement lie invisible forces that shape our world with staggering power. These forces—network effects, power laws, emergence—create empires, transform societies, and determine who wins and who loses, yet remain invisible to most. By understanding these deeper patterns, we step through a one-way door into a radically expanded view of how reality actually works.
