The problems of the 21st century are of unprecedented scale. Climate change, financial instability, the housing crisis, the need for health care: all of these are political issues that could be managed with ease on a much smaller scale. But with an enormous global population, that kind of change is no longer an option.

On February 14, 2018, 17-year-old David Hogg and his 14-year-old sister, Lauren, went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, like any normal Wednesday. That day, of course, the world changed. By the next morning, with 17 classmates and faculty dead, they had joined the leadership of a movement to save their own lives and the lives of all other young people in America. It's a leadership position they did not seek and did not want - but events gave them no choice.

Für dieses Hörbuch wurden Aufnahmen zusammengestellt, in denen nicht der Schriftsteller, sondern der Psychologe und Bürgerrechtler Jürgen Fuchs im Mittelpunkt steht. In den Gesprächen schildert er eindringlich die psychischen Folgen von Unterdrückung und Gewaltherrschaft durch das SED-Regime, sowohl auf der sehr persönlichen Ebene als auch im Hinblick auf die gesamte Gesellschaft. Die Gespräche mit ihm sind Dokumente gegen die Verklärung der DDR.

O crescimento exponencial do movimento evangélico no Brasil tem chamado atenção da grande imprensa e da academia. Por anos, as menções aos evangélicos seguiram estereótipos que nitidamente não davam conta de retratar com fidelidade um segmento tão diverso.

Além disso, estimativas de que a população evangélica se torne maioria no Brasil vêm gerando debates acalorados.

In Breaking Through Power, Ralph Nader draws from a lifetime waging - and often winning - David vs. Goliath battles against big corporations and the US government.

Women are wildly underrepresented at every level of the US government: federal, state, and local. Research has shown that women in executive government positions are far more likely than men to commit to policies that benefit women, girls, and other marginalized groups, so after centuries of underrepresentation, it's clear: Our best bet for creating a system that is more fair, balanced, and just for everyone is electing our first Madam President - as soon as we can.

Callousness toward lack of civic sense, which you would have experienced, and insights on desired etiquettes are drawn in this publication on non-prescriptive tangents.

Michael Slaby identifies four necessary avenues to build a future that serves us all: redesign our platforms; restore journalism, government, and corporations; reclaim the power and diversity of our storytelling; and ultimately redeem ourselves.

Honest, objective, and informed political debates are all too rare in today's polarized and partisan climate. Public policy is increasingly driven by ideology while political spin, distortions, and even demonizing opponents by disseminating outright lies are routine practice from Washington to the local city council.

More citizen involvement is needed in our government processes to ensure the voices of the people are heard over the money of paid lobbyists, unions, and coalitions, both in Washington, DC, and in state capitals across the country. Too often our public officials seem removed from the people who hired them to be their representatives and fail to work on their behalf.

Donald Trump defied expectations, by being nominated and then by being elected. But now the standard of success is even greater. How will President Trump compare with past presidents? Will he have the negotiating skills of Abe Lincoln? The crisis management ability of JFK? The communication capacity of Ronald Reagan? The job creation knack of Bill Clinton? Will he be tremendous, big league? Or will history instead call Donald Trump a middling president?
