In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. But with an incompetent defense attorney and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in despairing silence.

Throughout history, the Jewish people have faced catastrophe after catastrophe. They have been expelled, ghettoised, murdered and forcibly converted. The question that Jonathan Sacks asks in this original and compelling book is not how Judaism survived four thousand years of persecution, but how it found ways to flourish and thrive. Originally written as a wedding gift for his son over twenty years ago, now featuring a new foreword by Natan Sharansky, this revised edition is a reminder of the enduring beauty and wisdom of one of the world’s oldest religions.

Gefühle und Emotionen sind in vielen Unternehmen immer noch ein Tabu. Der Arbeitsalltag zeigt jedoch, dass diese sich nicht ausklammern lassen: Überall wo Menschen gefordert sind, zusammenzuarbeiten, kommen früher oder später Gefühle ins Spiel, ob es uns gefällt oder nicht. Doch das muss kein Problem sein. Im Gegenteil, sagt Vivian Dittmar: Gefühle sind wichtige Beziehungskompetenzen, die wir auch in Arbeitssituationen dringend benötigen. Doch wie schaffen wir es, dass diese in Teams und Besprechungen, in Führungskräften und Mitarbeitern auch als solche zum Tragen kommen? Emotionale Kompetenz ist mehr als nur Teil eines modernen Skillprofils.

Eamonn McCann’s account of what it is like to grow up a Catholic in a Northern Irish ghetto - first published in 1974 - quickly became a classic account of the feelings generated by British rule. The author was at the center of events in Derry which first brought Northern Ireland to world attention. He witnessed the gradual transformation of the civil rights movement from a mild campaign for “British Democracy” to an all-out military assault on the British state. This book describes the people involved in the war and gives an account of the springs of the "Catholic" opposition.

In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.

One hundred and ten years ago, Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, devised a very different method of educating children, based on her observations of how they naturally learn. In Montessori, Angeline Stoll Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maria Montessori. Lillard presents the research behind nine insights that are foundations of Montessori education, describing how each of these insights is applied in the Montessori classroom.  

Kennen Sie Gender? fragte Birgit Kelle vor fünf Jahren in ihrem Bestseller "Gendergaga". Heute ist klar: Die Realität hat die Satire längst überholt. Wer heute denkt, er sei normal, steht schon morgen als transphob, homophob, antifeministisch oder natürlich als "rechts" am Pranger. Gefühl sticht jetzt Fakten, Frau sticht Mann, homo sticht hetero, schwarz sticht weiß, trans sticht alles. Dafür ruinieren wir Karrieren und Kindheiten, zensieren Sprache, Wissenschaft, Debatte und freies Denken. Statt Probleme zu lösen, schafft die neue Gender- und Identitätspolitik täglich neue Opfer.

Many Remainers reported waking up the day after the Brexit vote feeling as if they were living in a foreign country. In fact, they were merely experiencing the same feeling that many British people have felt every day for years. Goodhart shows us how people have come to be divided into two camps: the 'Anywheres', who have 'achieved' identities, derived from their careers and education, and the 'Somewheres', who get their identity from a sense of place and from the people around them, and who feel a sense of loss due to mass immigration and rapid social change.

Wolfgang Bosbach hat etwas zu sagen - notfalls auch gegen die Linie der eigenen Partei. Seine Geradlinigkeit kommt bei den Bürgern an, die im unübersichtlichen und manchmal auch als unehrlich wahrgenommenen Politikbetrieb nach Orientierung suchen.

Max Weber stellt sich in diesem Werk die zentrale Frage, was die abendländische Moderne so besonders macht und den ihr spezifischen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert voran trieb. Dabei analysiert er die Ursprünge und Voraussetzungen des Kapitalismus und entdeckt eine bestimmte protestantische Ethik, die zu dieser Zeit in Mitteleuropa und Amerika vorherrschte. Im Zuge seiner Analyse untersucht er die Ausbreitung des Protestantismus und wie diese den Kapitalismus begünstige. Die protestantischen Puritaner seien dabei zunächst religiös motiviert gewesen.
