The Times    Who is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and how did he lead a democracy on the fringe of Europe into dictatorship? How has chaos in the Middle East blown back over Turkey''s borders? And why doesn''t the West just cut Erdogan and his regime off?  Hannah Lucinda Smith has been living in Turkey as the  Times   correspondent for nearly a decade, reporting on the ground from the onset of the Arab Spring through terrorist attacks, mass protests, civil war, unprecedented refugee influx and the explosive, bloody 2016 coup attempt that threatened to topple - and kill - Erdogan.   Erdogan Rising  introduces Turkey as a vital country, one that borders and buffers Western Europe, the Middle East and the old Soviet Union, marshals the second largest army in NATO and hosts more refugees than any other nation. As president, Erdogan is the face of devotion and division, a leader who mastered macho divide-and-rule politics a decade and a half before Donald Trump cottoned on, and has used it to lead his country into spiralling authoritarianism.  Yet Erdogan is no ordinary dictator. His elections are won only by slivers, and Turkey remains defined by its two warring cults: those who worship Erdogan, the wilful Muslim nationalist with a tightening authoritarian grip, and those who stand behind Ataturk, the secularist, westward-looking leader who founded the republic and remains its best loved icon - now eighty years dead.  Erdogan commands a following so devoted they compose songs in his honour, adorn their homes with his picture, and lay down their lives to keep him in power.  Erdogan Rising  asks how this century''s most successful populist won his position, and where Turkey is headed next.\r","authors":["Hannah Lucinda Smith"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/858\/9780008308858_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/858\/9780008308858_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/858\/9780008308858_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,40&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"5 septembre 2019","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Hannah Lucinda Smith \u2014 William Collins","translator":null,"weight":555,"page_count":395,"readership":null,"editor":"William Collins","price":2140,"published_date":"2019-09-04T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780008308858\/erdogan-rising"},{"id":"9782130885887","title":"Les Vikings","description":"Drakkar terrifiant, insolite casque \u00e0 cornes, pirates sanguinaires buvant dans le cr\u00e2ne de leurs ennemis, guerri\u00e8res farouches : l'imaginaire viking d\u00e9borde de clich\u00e9s.

He outlines why and how, in a time of intensely heightened awareness of minorities, Jews don''t count as a real minority.\r","authors":["David Baddiel"],"category_codes":[],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/474\/9780008399474_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/474\/9780008399474_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/474\/9780008399474_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"15,40&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"4 f\u00e9vrier 2021","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"David Baddiel \u2014 Harper Collins Publishers","translator":null,"weight":220,"page_count":null,"readership":null,"editor":"Harper Collins Publishers","price":1540,"published_date":"2021-02-03T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780008399474\/jews-dont-count"},{"id":"9780008440459","title":"Whites : On Race and Other Falsehoods","description":"''An important, timely personal essay'' OBSERVER BEST BOOKS OF 2020    ''Not taking any bullshit...sharp and stylish...brutal'' GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR   In this powerful and timely personal essay, best-selling author Otegha Uwagba reflects on racism, whiteness, and the mental labour required of Black people to navigate the two. \r\n           \r\n           Presented as a record of Uwagba''s observations on this era-defining moment in history - that is, George Floyd''s brutal murder and the subsequent protests and scrutiny of institutional racism -  Whites  explores the colossal burden of whiteness, as told by someone who is in her own words, ''a reluctant expert''. \r\n           What is it like to endure both racism and white efforts at anti-racism, sometimes from the very same people?

A new, apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is on the move. They're united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, and they welcome a future of shocks, scarcity and collapse, convinced they'll be among the saved on the other side.\r\nThis is the world of End Times Fascism.\r\nIn this blistering reckoning with our age, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex - and show us how to resist it. Around the globe, they investigate how those who are making our world unliveable through climate chaos and job-consuming AI are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it's by repairing to luxurious private islands for the super-rich, rocketing off to Mars or bunkering nations against a dehumanized 'other'.\r\nBut, Klein and Taylor  reveal, the new supremacist survivalists are far from impregnable. They have no vision of a shared future. All they offer are remixes of a bygone past: the nihilistic, sadistic pleasures of domination. If we're to meet this critical moment and defend what's left of democracy before it's smashed up beyond repair, we must break the doom loop, and find a new way of living together, rooted in our existence on this earth, in the here and now.

It has been embedded in every facet of our lives, shaping social bonds, power hierarchies, and interactions with the spirit world. This book tells the story of how hunting evolved from a means of survival practiced with clubs and spears to a genteel display of royal power, and how it has become, in today's world, complicated and hotly contested.\r\nIn this wide-ranging study, Brian Fagan discusses how Neanderthals stalked prey and killed at close range, how hunting evolved as a political spectacle, and how commercial and trophy hunting precipitated an ecological crisis. He invites us to hunt with Charlemagne, explains how there was more to the demise of North American bison herds than rifles, and describes how influential figures such as John Muir, George Bird Grinnell, and Theodore Roosevelt fought for conservation during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Filled with lively stories, fascinating discoveries, and compelling characters, Fagan's exploration of hunting-a companion to his Fishing-offers an informed and entertaining history of an essential human pursuit.","authors":["Brian Fagan"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","medium":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png"},"orderable":false,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"33,80&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"23 juin 2026","publisher_availability_label":"\u00c0 para\u00eetre","short_details":"Brian Fagan \u2014 Yale University Press Ltd","translator":null,"weight":0,"page_count":272,"readership":null,"editor":"Yale University Press Ltd","price":3380,"published_date":"2026-06-22T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":2,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780300273496\/hunting-the-pursuit-that-shaped-humanity"},{"id":"9780349115375","title":"The Last Crusaders ; East, West and the Battle for the Centre of the World","description":"* Timely history of the battle for the Mediterranean in the 15th and 16th centuries by the forces of Islam and Christendom, out now in paperback","authors":["Barnaby Rogerson"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/375\/9780349115375_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/375\/9780349115375_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/375\/9780349115375_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,40&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"4 novembre 2010","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Barnaby Rogerson \u2014 Abacus","translator":null,"weight":334,"page_count":512,"readership":null,"editor":"Abacus","price":2140,"published_date":"2010-11-03T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780349115375\/the-last-crusaders-east-west-and-the-battle-for-the-centre-of-the-world"},{"id":"9780571225248","title":"Red Plenty","description":"Once upon a time in the Soviet Union...\r\n\r\nStrange as it may seem, the grey, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairytale.

And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working.\r\n\r\nRed Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan, and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche.

For the first time, all the contenders for the crown were female.\r\n\r\nIn 1553, England was about to experience the 'monstrous regiment' - the unnatural rule - of a woman. But female rule in England also had a past. Four hundred years before Edward's death, Matilda, daughter of Henry I and granddaughter of William the Conquerer, came tantalisingly close to securing her hold on the power of the crown. And between the 12th and the 15th centuries three more exceptional women - Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, and Margaret of Anjou - discovered, as queens consort and dowager, how much was possible if the presumptions of male rule were not confronted so explicitly.\r\n\r\nThe stories of these women - told here in all their vivid humanity - illustrate the paradox which the female heirs to the Tudor throne had no choice but to negotiate. Man was the head of woman; and the king was the head of all.

Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.\r\n\r\nPrakash ranges over two hundred years of Indian history, from the early days of British rule to the dawn of the postcolonial era. He begins by taking us into colonial museums and exhibitions, where Indian arts, crafts, plants, animals, and even people were categorized, labeled, and displayed in the name of science. He shows how science gave the British the means to build railways, canals, and bridges, to transform agriculture and the treatment of disease, to reconstruct India's economy, and to transfigure India's intellectual life--all to create a stable, rationalized, and profitable colony under British domination.\r\n\r\nBut Prakash points out that science also represented freedom of thought and that for the British to use it to practice despotism was a deeply contradictory enterprise. Seizing on this contradiction, many of the colonized elite began to seek parallels and precedents for scientific thought in India's own intellectual history, creating a hybrid form of knowledge that combined western ideas with local cultural and religious understanding. Their work disrupted accepted notions of colonizer versus colonized, civilized versus savage, modern versus traditional, and created a form of modernity that was at once western and indigenous.\r\n\r\nThroughout, Prakash draws on major and minor figures on both sides of the colonial divide, including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, the nationalist historian and novelist Romesh Chunder Dutt, Prafulla Chandra Ray (author of A History of Hindu Chemistry), Rudyard Kipling, Lord Dalhousie, and John Stuart Mill. With its deft combination of rich historical detail and vigorous new arguments and interpretations, Another Reason will recast how we understand the contradictory and colonial genealogy of the modern nation.","authors":["Gyan Prakash"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050200","9050204"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/532\/9780691004532_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/532\/9780691004532_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/532\/9780691004532_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"60,90&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"29 ao\u00fbt 1999","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Gyan Prakash \u2014 Princeton University Press","translator":null,"weight":494,"page_count":344,"readership":null,"editor":"Princeton University Press","price":6090,"published_date":"1999-08-28T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780691004532\/another-reason-science-and-the-imagination-of-modern-india"},{"id":"9780691180878","title":"A world of struggle : how power, law, and expertise shape global political economy","description":"How today's unjust global order is shaped by uncertain expert knowledge-and how to fix it.\r\n\r\nA World of Struggle reveals the role of expert knowledge in our political and economic life.

He describes the conflicts, unexamined assumptions, and assertions of power and entitlement that lie at the center of expert rule. Kennedy explores the history of intellectual innovation by which experts developed a sophisticated legal vocabulary for global management strangely detached from its distributive consequences. At the center of expert rule is struggle: myriad everyday disputes in which expertise drifts free of its moorings in analytic rigor and observable fact. He proposes tools to model and contest expert work and concludes with an in-depth examination of modern law in warfare as an example of sophisticated expertise in action.\r\n\r\nCharting a major new direction in global governance at a moment when the international order is ready for change, this critically important book explains how we can harness expert knowledge to remake an unjust world.","authors":["David Kennedy"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050200","9050204"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/878\/9780691180878_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/878\/9780691180878_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/878\/9780691180878_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"24,30&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"1er mai 2018","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"David Kennedy \u2014 Princeton University Press","translator":null,"weight":483,"page_count":312,"readership":null,"editor":"Princeton University Press","price":2430,"published_date":"2018-04-30T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780691180878\/a-world-of-struggle-how-power-law-and-expertise-shape-global-political-economy"},{"id":"9780691151571","title":"Masters of the Universe : Hayek, Friedman, and the Birth of Neoliberal Politics","description":"How did American and British policymakers become so enamored with free markets, deregulation, and limited government? This book--the first comprehensive transatlantic history of the rise of neoliberal politics--presents a surprising answer. Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement, Masters of the Universe traces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics. Far from being the story of the simple triumph of right-wing ideas, the neoliberal breakthrough was contingent on the economic crises of the 1970s and the acceptance of the need for new policies by the political left. Masters of the Universe describes neoliberalism's road to power, beginning in interwar Europe but shifting its center of gravity after 1945 to the United States, especially to Chicago and Virginia, where it acquired a simple clarity that was developed into an uncompromising political message.\r\nNeoliberalism was communicated through a transatlantic network of think tanks, businessmen, politicians, and journalists that was held together by Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. After the collapse of Bretton Woods in 1971, and the \"stagflation\" that followed, their ideas finally began to take hold as Keynesianism appeared to self-destruct. Later, after the elections of Reagan and Thatcher, a guileless faith in free markets came to dominate politics. Fascinating, important, and timely, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the history behind the Anglo-American love affair with the free market, as well as the origins of the current economic crisis.","authors":["Daniel Stedman Jones"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/571\/9780691151571_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/571\/9780691151571_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/571\/9780691151571_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"67,60&nbsp;\u20ac","formatted_published_date":"16 septembre 2012","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Daniel Stedman Jones \u2014 Princeton University Press","translator":null,"weight":746,"page_count":432,"readership":null,"editor":"Princeton University Press","price":6760,"published_date":"2012-09-15T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780691151571\/masters-of-the-universe-hayek-friedman-and-the-birth-of-neoliberal-politics"}]}
