Описание: Mark Zuckerberg`s inaugural pick for his "Year of Books" challenge, The End of Power updates the very notion of power for the 21st century. Power, we know, is shifting: From West to East and North to South, from presidential palaces to public squares, from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and, slowly but surely, from men to women. But power is not merely dispersing it is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before.In The End of Power , award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moises Naim illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research, Naim shows how the antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Naim deftly covers the seismic changes underway in business, religion, education, within families, and in all matters of war and peace. Examples abound in all walks of life: In 1977, eighty-nine countries were ruled by autocrats while today more than half the world`s population lives in democracies. CEO`s are more constrained and have shorter tenures than their predecessors. Modern tools of war, cheaper and more accessible, make it possible for groups like Hezbollah to afford their own drones. In the second half of 2010, the top ten hedge funds earned more than the world`s largest six banks combined. Those in power retain it by erecting powerful barriers to keep challengers at bay. Today, insurgent forces dismantle those barriers more quickly and easily than ever, only to find that they themselves become vulnerable in the process. In this accessible and captivating book, Naim offers a revolutionary look at the inevitable end of power,and shows how it will change your world.

Описание: In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book interrogates what impacts, if any, this global protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States, Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this collection is essential reading for all those interested in the power of protest to shape our world.

Описание: From asthma to Crohn s disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that s because it has to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five and likely more Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune system malfunction. Why? One possibility is that we have systematically cleaned ourselves to illness; this belief challenges deeply entrenched notions about the value of societal hygiene and the harmful nature of microbes. Yet scientists investigating the rampant immune dysfunction in the developed world have inevitably arrived at this conclusion. To address this global epidemic of absence, they must restore the human ecosystem. This groundbreaking book explores the promising but controversial worm therapy deliberate infection with parasitic worms in development to treat autoimmune disease. It explains why farmers children so rarely get hay fever, why allergy is less prevalent in former Eastern Bloc countries, and how one cancer-causing bacterium may be good for us. It probes the link between autism and a dysfunctional immune system. It investigates the newly apparent fetal origins of allergic disease that a mother s inflammatory response imprints on her unborn child, tipping the scales toward allergy. "An Epidemic of Absence" is a brilliant, cutting-edge exploration of the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune diseases and the controversial, potentially groundbreaking therapies that scientists are developing to correct these disorders."

Описание: From 1642 to 1654 Isaac Aboab da Fonseca was the hakham (Torah scholar) and spiritual leader of the oldest Jewish community in the New World. As a Hebrew grammarian, a poet, and a mystic, as well as an excellent and very popular preacher, Aboab da Fonseca (born 1605) was not only one of the most interesting Jewish personalities of the seventeenth century, but his writings are an invaluable historical resource with regard to many aspects of Jewish life in Dutch Colonial Brazil, the local attitudes towards Jews, and corroboration of events outlined in contemporary literary sources. His forebears were so-called New Christians, having undergone compulsory conversion to Catholicism in Portugal. In order to be able to live freely as professing Jews, the family moved in about 1612 to Amsterdam. There, Hakham Isaac Uziel of Fez became his Talmud teacher; among his colleagues was Menasseh Ben Israel. In 1638 he was confirmed as one of the four hakhamim of the new congregation Talmud Torah of Amsterdam. In 1641/42 he accepted the nomination for hakham of the growing Jewish community in Recife, Brazil, where he was in charge of all rabbinical functions and gave lectures in Talmud and Hebrew. In the interim he wrote the Hebrew grammar Melekhet ha-Dikduk, published here in translation for the first time. Aboab da Fonseca enjoyed a few prosperous years until the Portuguese rebellion caused the economic ruin of the Jews of Dutch Brazil. His salary much reduced, he nevertheless remained to lead and help his people until the occupation of Recife by Brazilian-Portuguese troops on January 26, 1654. Upon returning to Amsterdam, his inclination toward mysticism made him one of the leading believers in the false messiah Shabbetai Zvi. But his writing and scholarship remained undiminished: In 1646 he wrote Zekher asiti leniflaot El, in which he described events in Dutch Brazil after the outbreak of the war; he also published a Hebrew translation of the Spanish cabbalistic works of Abraham Cohen Herrera, Casa de Dios y Puerta del Cielo, under the title Shaar ha-Shamayim (The Gate of Heaven). This first scholarly monograph on Isaac Aboab da Fonseca and his intellectual and spiritual contributions, includes discussion of his commentary on the Pentateuch entitled Parafrasis Comentada sobre el Pentateuco, as well as a consideration of Aboabs involvement in the ban of Spinoza.

Описание: El contrato c vico es un ensayo mediante el cual el autor repasa los principales problemas que afectan a la evoluci n social del ser humano. La sobrepoblaci n mundial, la injusticia, la perdida de valores o el cada vez mayor distanciamiento entre pa ses pobres y ricos son tratados con rigurosa claridad y analizados desde la m s simple de las perspectivas. En El Contrato C vico, adem s, el autor identifica claramente a los principales actores de esta obra que es el teatro de la vida, as como sus errores y por supuesto nos da, las que a su juicio, son las soluciones que nos permitan vivir como lo que somos, seres humanos racionales, con derechos y obligaciones, con independencia de donde hayamos nacido. Nos enfrentamos a hechos extremadamente simples y aceptados por la inmensa mayor a de la humanidad, pero al mismo tiempo no actuamos y permanecemos indolentes a la espera de que las peores p ginas de la historia vuelvan a ser escritas.

Описание: Una serie de brutales asesinatos cometidos sobre mujeres, ponen en jaque a todo el departamento de policнa de Ciudad de Mйxico. El asesino, un hombre perturbado, pero a la vez inteligente y hбbil en extremo, quiere poner en prбctica los experimentos desarrollados por los mйdicos nazis durante la II Guerra Mundial con un solo fin: DEVOLVERLE LA VIDA A LA MUJER QUE OCUPA SU MENTE, pero realmente sin saber si lo que siente por ella es amor, o un odio descomunal, es un metуdico cazador que no pararб hasta ver completada su obra compuesta por diferentes piezas que conforman un todo. Dos policнas son asignados al caso, Gabriel Salazar y Polo Guzmбn, quienes a pesar de ser fieles compaсeros y grandes amigos, son distintos en todo, pues uno es un amoroso esposo, y el otro, un sбdico drogadicto que disfruta de visitar a Sasha, una experimentada prostituta. Alina, una creaciуn de la desequilibrada mente del asesino, lo tortura y seduce todas las noches, mientras le recita poemas y canta sugestivas melodнas, exhortбndolo a seguir despedazando gente para que ella puede regresar a la vida. Como buena trama, el escritor nos lleva a un final tenso y a contrarreloj, donde la lucha del poder polнtico toma cartas en el asunto y se exponen de manera cruda los actuales intereses econуmicos y la corrupciуn que todo lo salpica.

Описание: A celebrity in his own day, who gave lectures dressed as Napoleon or seated on the back of an elephant, Ramon Gomez de la Serna is the most representative writer of the interwar Spanish avant-garde.This book explores Gomez de la Serna's art and his quest to break down the barriers between literature and life, addressing two elements - already present in his work - of radical relevance in today's cultural debates: the relation of humans to the material world and the reduction of all experience to a singular individuality. Bringing Gomez de la Serna to an Anglophone audience, it reveals him to be the embodiment of a new kind of art on both sides of the Atlantic.
