Crushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids of Britain left almost no reliable evidence behind. Historian Ronald Hutton shows how this lack of definite information has allowed succeeding British generations to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Hutton's captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish, and Welsh attitudes toward the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world.

In 1948, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli War. More than seventy years later, most of their houses are long gone, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees, with many living in refugee camps. This group—unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflicts—has remained unsettled, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a "right of return" is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region.

As the pandemic forced us to socialize at a distance, Kelsey McKinney was mourning the juicy updates and jaw-dropping stories she’d typically collect over drinks with friends—and from her hunger, the blockbuster Normal Gossip podcast was born. With listenership in the millions, Kelsey found herself thinking more critically about gossip as a form, and wanting to better understand the role it plays in our culture. In You Didn't Hear This From Me, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling.

American Christianity tends to view disabled persons as problems to be solved rather than people with experiences and gifts that enrich the church. Churches have generated policies, programs, and curricula geared toward "including" disabled people while still maintaining "able-bodied" theologies, ministries, care, and leadership. Ableism--not a lack of ramps, finances, or accessible worship—is the biggest obstacle for disabled ministry in America.

الكراهيةُ ثقافةٌ تخاطبُ الجانبَ الغرائزيَّ والانتماءات الأولية قي الإنسان، كالقبلية والطائفية والمذهبية والقومية الضَّيقة، وتنمي وتغذي مشاعر البغضاء فيه. وحسب تصور المؤلف، فإنها محصلةٌ لكل الصِّفات والعناصر السَّيئة التي تشكل تمايزًا وفروقًا بين النَّاس، كالتَّعصب والتَّطرف والطَّبقية والتنميط والإقصاء والتَّخوين والتكفير والإستعلاء.

The creators of the internet promised us jetpacks: better experiences, more choices, and deeper relationships. Built on a diversity of voices, our online freedom was supposed to spark a democratic transformation. But our platforms don't work for us—we're the inventory and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit, not civic life. As one of the top digital strategists for Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns, Michael Slaby saw the beginning of a new kind of national division.

UNA SCRITTRICE FEMMINISTA DEI NOSTRI GIORNI CI MOSTRA, ANCORA UNA VOLTA, LA FORZA IMMORTALE DELLA LETTERATURA, LA SUA CAPACITÀ DI PORTARE CORAGGIO E LIBERTÀ. Essere una bambina, e poi una donna, vuol dire imparare fin da subito cosa si può fare e cosa non si può fare, vuol dire imparare che certe qualità, come il coraggio, l’audacia e l’indipendenza, non sono prettamente femminili, e che reprimere i propri desideri è normale, e consigliabile. Meglio restare ai margini e attendere passivamente un salvatore o, nella più sfortunata delle ipotesi, la provvidenza.

Ainsi, cet ouvrage offre une unique contribution à la connaissance et à la compréhension de la pensée classique et de l'éthique, tout en favorisant un dialogue interculturel plus large et la paix entre les peuples.

More people traveled internationally in 2019 than in any year in history. After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders. For the first time, governments took the same tools that have been used against less privileged migrants and asylum seekers and turned them on citizens from countries that had long enjoyed relatively unfettered travel—and sometimes on their own citizens.

In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. Medical experts told her trial that they had never come across a family like hers, where three or more infants had died from natural causes. Extracts from diaries she had written were judged to be virtual admissions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentenced to 40 years in jail. But did she do it?

Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has been the nation’s premier youth organization, espousing self-reliance and honor. More than 100 million Americans have been Boy Scouts, from Bill Gates to Martin Luther King Jr. Today, however, Scouting faces an existential threat of its own making: more than 82,000 former Scouts have filed claims alleging they were sexually abused—seven times the number of similar allegations that rocked the Catholic Church two decades ago.

At the age of eight, Alpha Nkuranga made a fateful decision. With war raging around her, she grabbed the hand of her younger brother, Elijah, and ran from her grandparents' home. When they came to a swamp, they hid until it was safe to escape. Weeks later, they joined a group of refugees, who were fleeing to Tanzania. "If I kept walking," Alpha remembers thinking, "I could tell my story."
