Humanism is an expansive tradition of thought that places shared humanity, cultural vibrancy, and moral responsibility at the center of our lives. For centuries, this worldview has inspired people to make their choices by principles of freethinking, intellectual inquiry, fellow feeling, and optimism. In this sweeping new history, Sarah Bakewell, herself a lifelong humanist, illuminates the very personal, individual, and, well, human matter of humanism and takes listeners on a grand intellectual adventure.

Humanity's last best hope
Revisado: 04-27-23
This excellent historical journey is one I wish all human beings would consider taking especially in these dark days of increasing fascism, nationalism, religious extremism, racism, political posturing and pandering. Sarah Bakewell offers an antidote and antivenom to all that poison, one readily available to any and all human beings. She takes you through this remarkable collection of fellow travellers on the human journey. She is a masterful storyteller.

Called “one of the nation's most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past 15 years, Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it - and she wants to teach you how.

From a New York Times investigative reporter, this “authoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media” (New York Times Book Review) tracks the high-stakes inside story of how Big Tech’s breakneck race to drive engagement—and profits—at all costs fractured the world, and is “an essential book for our times” (Ezra Klein).

Revisado: 09-23-22
a must read...social media is the cigarette crisis of our time, killing us in plain sight. It also reveals the darkest heart of capitalistic pursuit of profit at all costs. Facebook, You Tube, Twitter etc are the monsters created by human beings that are now destroying humanity.

Political violence rips apart several towns in southwest Texas. A far-right militia plots to kidnap the governor of Michigan and try her for treason. An armed mob of Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists storms the U.S. Capitol. Are these isolated incidents? Or is this the start of something bigger? Barbara F. Walter has spent her career studying civil conflict in places like Iraq, Ukraine, and Sri Lanka, but now she has become increasingly worried about her own country.

A frightening and sobering analysis of how factionalism can and often does lead to autocracy. I hope we Americans are paying close attention and voting accordingly.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Mystal makes a compelling case against our constitution by using it's language and more importantly it's history and the truth about it's creators to demolish the facile arguments of conservatives, libertarians and other cranks use it to hurt people.

Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in 20th-century literature. In this charged collection of 15 essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class and propounds social difference as a vehicle for action and change. Her prose is incisive, unflinching, and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope.

Revisado: 07-25-22
a thoughtful history of one black woman's account of coming to terms with her place in a society that cares very little about her feelings and thoughts in such a world. Lorde finds a way to love herself on her terms. Brilliant writing and crystal clear thinking.

The events of that day are now tragically familiar: on May 25, 2020, George Floyd became the latest Black person to die at the hands of the police, murdered outside of a Minneapolis convenience store by White officer Derek Chauvin. The video recording of his death set off the largest protest movement in the history of the United States, awakening millions to the pervasiveness of racial injustice.

Thorough and fair telling of the tragic arc of George Floyd's life and this rich country of ours that doesn't care much about what happens to most of us, but especially those that start their journey with so many historical and situational obstacles placed in their way before they even get the chance to try to find a way to succeed in this world.

Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single history, in the time and place where they occurred: between Germany and Russia, when Hitler and Stalin both held power. Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands will be required listening for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history.

Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against "big government" led to the rise of a broad-based conservative movement.

Mayer Nails It
Revisado: 04-27-22
Jane Mayer's thoroughly researched probe into the morass created by these soulless Kochs and the other rich crazies that make up the tiny group of American oligarchs, shows clearly what it means to be under this tyranny of an extremely small minority. They buy people like Mitch McConnel and Mark Meadows to make sure their vacuous ideology gets implemented. Wake up America before the John Bircher Libertarians destroy our great democratic experiment. They believe in freedom and riches for themselves alone and the rest of us can be and are being damned to drudgery and dissolution.

By the time she became US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch had seen her share of corruption, instability, and tragedy in developing countries. But it came as a shock when, in early 2019, she was recalled from her post after a smear campaign by President Trump’s personal attorney and his associates—men operating outside of normal governmental channels, and apparently motivated by personal gain. Her courageous participation in the subsequent impeachment inquiry earned Yovanovitch the nation’s respect, and her dignified response to the president’s attacks won our hearts.
