Dr. Peter H. Kim, the world’s leading expert in the rapidly growing field of trust repair, has conducted over two decades of groundbreaking research to answer that question. In How Trust Works, he draws on this research and the work of other social scientists to reveal the surprising truths about how relationships are built, how they are broken, and how they are repaired. Dr. Kim’s work shows how we are often more trusting than we think and how easily our trust in others can be distorted.

Tribalism is one of the most complex and ancient evolutionary forces; it gave us the capacity for cooperation and competition, and allowed us to navigate increasingly complex social landscapes. It is so powerful that it can predict our behavior even better than race, class, gender, or religion. But in our vast modern world, has this blessing become a curse? Our Tribal Future explores a central paradox of our species: how altruism, community, kindness, and genocide are all driven by the same core adaptation.

Behind our current caregiving crisis, in which a broken system has left parents and caregivers exhausted, sits a fierce addiction to independence. But what would happen if we started to appreciate dependency, and the deep meaning of one person caring for another? If we start to care about care? With a curiosity and desire to understand more fully one of humanity’s most profound and essential relationships, journalist Elissa Strauss she interrogates our societal obsession with going it alone and poses a challenge to let ourselves be transformed by the act of caregiving.

Sembra ormai chiaro che il mondo che verrà, anzi il mondo che si sta già delineando, ci obbligherà a rinunciare a tanti privilegi o semplici abitudini. Quello che invece sarà meno immediato è come alzarci dal «comodo divano» su cui gran parte dell'Occidente riposa da tempo e tornare, come facevano i nostri antenati, esploratori. Come si esce dalla comfort zone a cui siamo assuefatti? E cosa siamo disposti a sacrificare in cambio di una vita avventurosa e dinamica?

In the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of coverage and discussion about the growing frustration between these generations. Some call it a generational war. Much of the debate has to do with the Boomer generation, with younger generations claiming various failures of this generation to provide a world or country that is sustainable and affordable.

Você acha que sabe como e por que faz suas escolhas? Suas preferências políticas, a gorjeta que dá ao garçom, aquele colega de trabalho com uma cara tão amigável de quem você desconfia e até a pessoa com quem você se casa não são opções tão objetivas assim. Leonard Mlodinow, autor do best-seller O andar do bêbado, investiga, de forma divertida e brilhante, como o inconsciente modela nosso comportamento e determina nossas decisões e juízos sobre o mundo, as pessoas, as coisas.

Zieht sich eine liberale Gesellschaft gerade den Boden weg, auf dem sie fest stehen sollte? Ein Essay darüber, was die digitale Massenkommunikation zwischenmenschlich anrichtet. Nichts hat das Zusammenleben so umfassend verändert wie die Digitalisierung – wir denken, fühlen und streiten anders, seit wir dauervernetzt und überinformiert sind. Demokratiepolitisch bedeutsam wird dies bei der vielbeschworenen Debattenkultur. Denn die Umgangsformen der sogenannten Sozialen Medien haben längst auf die anderen Arenen übergegriffen, Politik und Journalismus spielen schon nach den neuen, erbarmungsloseren Regeln.

This is not a taste, nor an anti-taste, manual. This is an interrogation of the importance we place on seemingly objective ideas of taste in a culture that is saturated by imagery, and the dangerous impact this has on our identities, communities and politics. This book is dedicated to understanding the industries of taste. From the food we eat to the way we spend our free time, Olah exposes the shallow waters of 'good' and 'bad' taste and the rigid hierarchies that uphold this age-old dichotomy.

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

What if the Western world does not have its ultimate origins in a single cultural bloodline but rather a messy bramble of ancestors and influences? As battles over privilege, identity and prejudice rock the cultural wars, it's never been more important to understand how the concept of The West came to be. This book tells a bold, empowering new story of how the idea of the West was created, how it has been used to justify imperialism and racism, and also why it's still a powerful ideological tool to understand our world.

What does a good prison look like? Over eleven million people are currently locked up in prisons across the world, but does that mean that prison actually works? Hindpal Singh Bhui, with 25 years’ experience of visiting and working in prisons worldwide, argues that we need to look at who is sent there and why, to disentangle reality from ideology and myth. Introducing the competing histories of prisons and allowing the voices of prisoners, prison staff and victims to be heard, he asks whether there is a better way to achieve what society wants from its prisons.

Mit seiner Schrift "Die Kernpunkte der sozialen Frage" aus dem Jahre 1919 reagiert Steiner auf die Krise des modernen Bewusstseins, die in den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im Ersten Weltkrieg ihren destruktiven Ausdruck gefunden hat. Er schlägt einen spirituell begründeten Ansatz zur Lösung der sozialen Frage vor, der als ein dritter Weg zwischen Sozialismus und Kapitalismus verstanden werden kann.

Powerful institutions, from schools to tech and social media companies, create breeding grounds for isolation by failing to invest in relational work. This obstacle stands in the way of our fight for racial equity, economic justice, and climate resilience. In Relationality, asexuality and relationship activist David Jay brings clarity to the crisis with a fresh perspective that expands upon the fundamental idea that all entities in the universe are connected. Jay draws from a range of personal experiences, including his time spent helping tech workers and policymakers reform social media.

Уилфред Троттер (1872–1939) – талантливый английский хирург и выдающийся социолог. Развивая идеи Гюстава Лебона, изложенные в его знаменитой книге Психология народов и масс, он совершил настоящий прорыв в изучении группового поведения человека и способов управления толпой, которые в наши дни активно используют политтехнологи и маркетологи. Книга Уилфреда Троттера о "стадном инстинкте" была опубликована практически сразу после окончания Первой мировой войны.
