私たちは「背の高い自信過剰な男性」をトップに据えがち？政治家が堕落し、職場にサイコパスがはびこる理由を、進化論や人類学、心理学によって読み解き、権力を腐敗させない方策を示す。

We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding - "tribes". This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.

UM UNS HERUM TOBT DER WAHNSiNN. ›Unter Wahnsinnigen‹ ist eine Zustandsbeschreibung unserer Zeit. Wie gerne würden wir leicht in Freund und Feind trennen, liken oder bashen. Aber so einfach ist der Mensch nicht. Schroeder folgt seinem Drang und seiner Neugier, das Böse zu verstehen. Auf dem Pfad des Bösen trifft er einen Holocaust-Leugner im Gefängnis, begegnet einem Sexualstraftäter auf seinem Weg nach draußen, erlebt einen Mann, der ein Doppelleben geführt hat, ist mit der Letzten Generation unterwegs und besucht NATO-Soldaten in Litauen, die sich auf den Krieg vorbereiten.

What makes the English English? Is it their eccentricity, their passionate love (or, indeed, hatred) of Marmite - or is it something less easily defined? Beginning at the top of a muddy Gloucestershire slope at the Cooper's Hill cheese-rolling contest and traversing a landscape of lawns and queues, coastlines and sporting arenas, Ben Fogle takes us on a journey through the peculiarly English.

Der Code des Bösen. Es entlädt sich in spektakulären Verbrechen, abscheulichen Gräueltaten, Gewalt, Sadismus, Vergewaltigung, Schul-Amokläufen oder sogenannten "Familientragödien". Doch wie entsteht das Böse? Und: Existiert es in jedem von uns? Der Gerichtspsychiater Reinhard Haller hat sich auf die Suche nach den Wurzeln des Bösen begeben. Tausende Stunden saß er im Gefängnis Schwerstverbrechern gegenüber, nur mit Notizblock und Stift bewaffnet: Sexualmörder und Serienkiller, Terroristen, Räuber und Kinderschänder, alte NS-Verbrecher und junge Amokläufer.

From the family to the workplace to the marketplace, every facet of our lives is shaped by cooperative interactions. Yet everywhere we look, we are confronted by proof of how difficult cooperation can be - snarled traffic, polarized politics, overexploited resources, social problems that go ignored. The benefits to oneself of a free ride on the efforts of others mean that collective goals often are not met. But compared to most other species, people actually cooperate a great deal. Why is this?

Can’t Tell Me Nothing is a critical anthology that helps us to talk about things that hurt when it comes to Black hair; what makes us uncomfortable and squeamish with pain as we recall our personal history with hair care from the kitchen to the salon. Sixteen brave Black women have poured out their souls in this book. They share about their unspoken pains and hair traumas; the things we don’t like to talk about when it comes to Black hair, but they impact us just the same. My hope is that this anthology will serve as a guide, helping Black women to become comfortable in their truths ...

Nützliche Mitbewohnerinnen, Ekelobjekte oder verblüffende Wesen? An Spinnen scheiden sich die Geister. Von manchen bewundert für ihre kunstvollen Netze und das Archaische ihrer Erscheinung, von anderen gefürchtet. Aber warum ist das so? Dieses Buch dringt tief in das Beziehungsgeflecht von Spinnen und Menschen vor. Es zeigt den Einfluss der Spinnen auf unsere Sprache, Wissen, Träume und Geschichte. Warum verglich man Napoleon mit einer Spinne? Wie prägte die christliche Symbolik die Abneigung gegenüber Spinnen? Und wieso wurden gleich drei Weltraummissionen von Spinnen begleitet?

Pirates have long lived in the realm of romance and fantasy, symbolizing risk, lawlessness, and radical visions of freedom. But at the root of this mythology is a rich history of pirate societies—vibrant, imaginative experiments in self-governance and alternative social formations at the edges of European empire. David Graeber explores how the proto-democratic, even libertarian practices of the Zana-Malata—an ethnic group made up of mixed descendants of pirates who settled on Madagascar at the beginning of the eighteenth century—came to shape the Enlightenment project.

Humans now live longer and better than ever before, and we are the most populous big animal on earth. Meanwhile, our closest living relatives, the now-endangered chimpanzees, continue to live as they have for millions of years. We are not like the other animals, yet we evolved through the same process. What are we, then? And now we have remade the world, what are we becoming? Setting out to answer this question, Gaia Vince tells a remarkable evolution story about us.

In this fascinating book, Terry O'Connor explores a distinction that is deeply ingrained in much of the language that we use in zoology, human-animal studies, and archaeology - the difference between wild and domestic. For thousands of years, humans have categorized animals in simple terms, often according to the degree of control that we have over them, and have tended to see the long story of human-animal relations as one of increasing control and management for human benefit.

İnsanın Türeyişi", evrim teorisinin öncüsü Charles Darwin'in en çığır açan eserlerinden biridir. Bu kitapta, Darwin insanın doğal seçilim yoluyla nasıl evrildiğine dair derinlemesine bir inceleme sunar.

Race is one of the most elusive phenomena of social life. While we generally know it when we see it, it's not an easy concept to define. Social science literature has argued that race is a Western concept that emerged with the birth of modern imperialism, whether in the 16th century or the 18th century. This book points out that there is a disjuncture between the way race is conceptualized in the social sciences and in recent natural science literature. In the view of some proponents of natural-scientific perspectives, race has a biological - and not just a purely social-dimension.

Cut Throat is a compelling deep dive exposé of the wild journey taxidermy has taken from its toxic and inexpert origins to its fevered growth in popularity as scientific competition and society craved and demanded more in order to wonder and imagine the world beyond their lives in Europe. Cut throat continues on to its modern-day evolvement in collaboration with every level of crime and catastrophe. The motivation to keep the taxidermy machine grinding forward regardless of risk is staggering amounts of money, prestige and ego.
