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.

Ґюстав Лебон — французький психолог, соціолог, антрополог та історик, публіцист, найбільше відомий як засновник соціальної психології і автор одного з перших варіантів доктрини "масового суспільства". Гюстав Ле Бон обстоював ідею расового детермінізму в розвитку цивілізації. Як фундамент соціальної еволюції він розглядав не розум, а ірраціонально-вольову, емоційну сферу психічного життя — почуття і вірування. Психологія народів присвячена питанням утворення, розвитку і згасання людських рас і ролі, яку грають в цих процесах керуючі народом ідеї і люди. Власне, саме ця робота поклала початок соціальній психології як науці.

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.

Nesse novo audiolivro, Marcos Costa, consagrado autor de História do Brasil para quem tem pressa, apresenta uma espécie de doença social que acomete o Brasil desde a chegada dos portugueses e nos impede de construir um projeto de nação.

We face a crisis of sexuality. During the last few years, we have witnessed an unprecedented breakdown of traditions and mores concerning sexuality and the family. Countries across the West have suddenly and seemingly irrevocably instituted same-sex marriage; a former athlete has won awards for publicly changing gender; and no one seems to know what restroom to use any more. What used to be taboo and frowned upon has become normal and even encouraged. What used to be normal and sought after is now viewed as unnecessary and possibly harmful.

Posvátná prostitutka ztělesňuje jak sexuální, tak duchovní stránku ženy. Je symbolem fyzické rozkoše a duchovní extáze, zároveň však zůstává panenská. Její panenství nemá nic společného s fyzickým stavem – je vyjádřením jejího vnitřního postoje. Nespokojuje se s rolí pouhého odrazu muže, ať už jde o otce, bratra, milence, manžela nebo syna. Je vnitřně sjednocená sama se sebou, dělá to, co dělá, nikoli z touhy, aby se líbila, získala nad druhými moc nebo si vydobyla lásku.

We live in a time where the world is facing an invisible enemy. The pandemic surges, and social relations are fraught with turmoil. Emotions are on edge, and people fear for their lives. We face turmoil, but turmoil does not come without emotions. Little has been written about the power of emotions and emotional contagion in this time of global turmoil—until now.

From the American Revolution through the Civil Rights movement, Americans have long mobilized against political, social, and economic privilege. Hierarchies based on inheritance, wealth, and political preferment were treated as obnoxious and a threat to democracy. Mass movements envisioned a new world supplanting dog-eat-dog capitalism. But over the last half-century that political will and cultural imagination have vanished. Why? The Age of Acquiescence seeks to solve that mystery.

This book explores the idea that table activities - the mealtime rituals of food preparation, serving, and dining - lay the foundation for a proper education on the value of civility, the importance of the common good, and what it means to be a good citizen. The arts of conversation and diplomatic speech are learned and practiced at tables, and a political history of food practices recasts thoughtfulness and generosity as virtues that enhance civil society and democracy.

In 1983 Chicago elected Harold Washington as the city's first black mayor. This is the story of Washington's improbable victory over Jane Byrne, heir to the late Richard J. Daley's political empire, and over Daley's eldest son. It's the story of a coalition outside the party's mainstream coming to power and ruling in the country's most political of cities. In Fire on the Prairie, Gary Rivlin reveals the personalities and philosophies of those who were at the center of events, from black separatists such as Lu Palmer to community organizers such as Jesse Jackson....

Former White House director of economic policy Todd G. Buchholz is also a Harvard professor and co-producer of the smash Broadway hit Jersey Boys. In Rush, Buchholz lays out a bold premise: rest and relaxation aren’t the keys to happiness, as so many Zenadhering “Edenists” would propose. Instead, it’s the drive to perform that provides meaning and makes people happier, healthier, and more successful individuals.

A woman of contradictions, "a gun-toting, lesbian, feminist, voted-for-Reagan activist", Tammy Bruce is standing in line to become the next Ann Coulter. The "left wing" is engaged in an enormous conspiracy to make moral values relative, to undercut pride and patriotism in our country, to destroy Christian ideology at any cost, to pollute the minds of our youth by means of leftist professors who rewrite history, and to hijack the justice system through morally bankrupt trial lawyers.
