Durante siglos, las sociedades han tratado la dominación masculina como lo "natural". ¿Y si viéramos, no obstante, la desigualdad de género como algo más frágil que ha tenido que ser constantemente reconstruido y reafirmado? En este audiolibro audaz y radical, la reconocida periodista científica Angela Saini explora las raíces de lo que llamamos "patriarcado", descubriendo una historia compleja de cómo se incrustó por primera vez en las sociedades y se extendió por todo el mundo, desde la Prehistoria hasta el presente.

Not since the last American troops left Vietnam have we faced such a sudden vacuum in our foreign policy—not only of authority, but also of explanations of what happened, and what the future holds.

Evan Stark, founder of one of America's first battered women's shelters, shows how "domestic violence" is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking. Drawing on court records, interviews, and FBI statistics, Stark details coercive strategies that men use to deny women their very personhood, from "beeper games" to food logs to micromanaging dress, speech, sexual activity, and work. 

Cómo la policía nos pone en peligro y por qué necesitamos encontrar una alternativa. En los últimos años se ha producido una explosión de protesta contra la brutalidad y la represión policial, sobre todo en Ferguson, Misuri, donde estallaron quejas de larga data en violentas manifestaciones tras el asesinato policial de Michael Brown. Entre activistas, periodistas y políticos, la conversación sobre cómo responder y mejorar la policía se ha centrado en la rendición de cuentas, la diversidad, la capacitación y las relaciones comunitarias.

Gun rights and control are well-trodden subjects, with prior work supporting the right of citizens to own firearms, discussing the failure of gun control efforts, or warning about or exhorting citizen gun ownership, among other things. Although social media in their many forms have only come to dominate modern U.S. life during the past decade, there has been little academic exploration of gun owner communities on the Internet and social media.

When Reagan and Gorbachev sat down in Reykjavik in 1986, George Shultz said that it was “the poker game with the highest stakes ever played”. It was the last time the world had a chance to do away entirely with nuclear weapons. This is the behind-the-scenes story of this remarkable summit conference. An Impossible Dream is the first exploration of recently available archives of both sides - top-secret archives of the Kremlin, the personal papers of Gorbachev, as well as Reagan's archives.

Imagine a world where a boy's dreams dictate the behavior of warriors in battle; where a young couple's only release from forbidden love is death; where religious extremism, blind hatred, and endemic corruption combine to form a lethal ideology. This is the world of Terrorists in Love. A gifted listener and storyteller, Ken Ballen takes us where no one has dared to go - deep into the secret heart of Islamic fundamentalism.

A timely primer on the conflict between the United States and Iran by scholars of Middle Eastern politics who advocate diplomacy and de-escalation.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.

Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika is the definitive history of the implementation of the INF Treaty signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in all its complexities, and the lengths both sides went to “trust, but verify” this successful and unique historic disarmament process.

Revolution's End fully explains the most famous kidnapping in US history, detailing Patty Hearst's relationship with Donald DeFreeze, known as Cinque, the head of the Symbionese Liberation Army.

America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party. Radical infiltrators have been quietly transforming America's societal, cultural, and political institutions for more than a generation. Now, backed by George Soros, they are ready to make their move.

For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States. Provision of an essential service to largely dependent consumers invited government oversight and ever more sophisticated market intervention. The industry has sought to manage, coopt, and profit from government regulation. In The Power Brokers, Jeremiah Lambert maps this complex interaction from the late 19th century to the present day.

When it comes to the gun control debate, there are two kinds of data: data that's accurate and data that left-wing billionaires, politicians, and media want you to believe is accurate. In The War on Guns, economist and gun rights advocate John Lott turns a skeptical eye to well-funded antigun studies and stories that perpetuate false statistics to frighten Americans into giving up their guns.
