Sucesso no Brasil, com mais de 100 mil exemplares vendidos, Ryan Holiday traz em seu novo livro um verdadeiro tratado sobre a coragem, uma virtude celebrada ao longo dos séculos, mas que parece estar em perigo de extinção. Nada é possível sem ela. Nada que valha a pena se alcança sendo covarde. Então por que a bravura é tão escassa? Numa época em que muitos de nossos políticos, líderes e artistas parecem incapazes de defender o que é certo ou mesmo falar a verdade, a coragem se faz ainda mais necessária, e o futuro depende da nossa decisão.

La pandemia de covid-19 parece hoy lejana; incluso hay quienes afirman que es historia pasada. Pero si bien la “nueva normalidad” nos ha permitido retomar la vida de manera prácticamente idéntica a como era antes de 2020, las secuelas emocionales, espirituales y sociales son muy evidentes hay duelos que aún no sanan; vivimos más conectados con la tecnología, pero más aislados unos de otros; la desigualdad se agudizó en todo el mundo. Y por si fuera poco, existe la siempre latente posibilidad de una nueva pandemia. Ante este escenario, Marcelo Rittner nos invita a la reflexión.

Political literacy can be compared to smart shopping. Increasing one's political awareness is like reading the ingredient labels in the grocery store. It gives people a better sense the relevance, accessibility, and potential of political agency on a personal level. This serious, sometimes alarming, but always empowering book offers insight into the benefits to both individuals and societies of cultivating greater political literacy.

What does a good prison look like? Over eleven million people are currently locked up in prisons across the world, but does that mean that prison actually works? Hindpal Singh Bhui, with 25 years’ experience of visiting and working in prisons worldwide, argues that we need to look at who is sent there and why, to disentangle reality from ideology and myth. Introducing the competing histories of prisons and allowing the voices of prisoners, prison staff and victims to be heard, he asks whether there is a better way to achieve what society wants from its prisons.
