Austerity and neoliberal policies have depleted our shared wealth; our national utilities have been sold off to foreign conglomerates, social housing is almost non-existent, our parks are cordoned off for private events and our national art galleries are sponsored by banks and oil companies. This plunder deprives us all of our common rights, recognized as far back as the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest of 1217, to share fairly and equitably in our public wealth.  Guy Standing leads us through a new appraisal of the commons, stemming from the medieval concept of common land reserved in ancient law from marauding barons, to his modern reappraisal of the resources we all hold in common - a brilliant new synthesis that crystallises quite how much public wealth has been redirected to the 1% in recent decades through the state-approved exploitation of everything from our land to our state housing, health and benefit systems, to our justice system, schools, newspapers and even the air we breathe.  Plunder of the Commons  proposes a charter for a new form of commoning, of remembering, guarding and sharing that which belongs to us all, to slash inequality and soothe our current political instability.","authors":["Guy Standing"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050200","9050204"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/620\/9780141990620_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/620\/9780141990620_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/620\/9780141990620_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"15,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"29 ao\u00fbt 2019","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Guy Standing \u2014 Cr\u00e9ations du P\u00e9lican","translator":null,"weight":249,"page_count":432,"readership":null,"editor":"Cr\u00e9ations du P\u00e9lican","price":1540,"published_date":"2019-08-28T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141990620\/plunder-of-the-commons-a-manifesto-for-sharing-public-wealth"},{"id":"9780141017648","title":"The mystery of olga chekhova","description":"The true story of a family torn apart by revolition and war, by the author of 'Stalingrad' and 'Berlin'.\r","authors":["Antony Beevor"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/648\/9780141017648_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/648\/9780141017648_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/648\/9780141017648_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,95 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"11 mai 2005","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Antony Beevor \u2014 Adult Pbs","translator":null,"weight":258,"page_count":300,"readership":null,"editor":"Adult Pbs","price":1895,"published_date":"2005-05-10T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141017648\/the-mystery-of-olga-chekhova"},{"id":"9780241143506","title":"Failed states - the abuse of power and the assault on democracy","description":"The United States asserts the right to use military force against 'failed states' around the globe.

It thus seeks to integrate what most other surveys pull apart. It gives a graphic account of the effects of a century-long period during which population was growing inexorably and faster than both the food supply and the employment market. It looks at the failed attempts of successive governments to make all those under their authority obedient members of a unified national church; it looks at how Charles I blundered into a civil war which then took on a terrifying momentum of its own. The result was his trial and execution, the abolition of the monarchy, the house of lords, the bishops, the prayer book and the celebration of Christmas. As a result everything else that people took for granted came up for challenge, and this book shows how painfully and with what difficulty order and obedience was restored. Vividly illustrated and full of startling detail, this is an ideal introduction to those interested in getting into the period, and also contains much to challenge and stimulate those who already feel at home in Stuart England.\r\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

But this is relatively recent compared to whole history of the earth of some 4.5 billion years. A key aspect of prehistory is that it provides a sense of scale, throwing recent ways of life into perspective. Humans and their ancestors lived in many different ways and the cultural variety we see now is just a tiny fraction of that which has existed over millions of years. Humans are part of the broader evolution of landscapes and communities of plants and animals, but Homo sapiens is also the only species to have made a real impact on planetary systems. To understand such an impact, we need a grasp of our longest term development and ways of life.\r\nIn this new edition of his Very Short Introduction, Chris Gosden invites us to think seriously about who we are by considering who we have been. As he explains, many new discoveries have been made in archaeology over the last ten years, and a new framework for prehistory is emerging. A greater understanding of Chinese and central Asian prehistory has thrown Eurasian prehistory in quite a different light, with flows of the influence of culture over large areas now evident. This has eaten away at the traditional view of human progress around the invention of agriculture, the development of cities and (much later) the industrial revolution, and given us new geographies to think about. Chris Gosden explores the new landscape of our prehistory, and considers the way the different geographical locations weave together.\r\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Does it have a future, or has it become an outdated ideology in the 21st century?\r\nThis Very Short Introduction considers the major theories in socialism, and explores its historical evolution from the French Revolution to the present day. Michael Newman argues that socialism has always been a diverse doctrine, while nevertheless containing a central core of interconnected values and goals: a critique of capitalism; an optimistic view of human beings; and the belief that it is possible to establish societies based on egalitarianism, social solidarity, and co-operation. In this new edition, he draws on case studies such as Cuba, Sweden, and Bolivia, to consider attempts to implement socialism in practice, before discussing New Left challenges to conventional notions of socialism on such questions as feminism, climate change, and direct action.

Different periods in politics have used the past differently. At times political thought can be said to have been drawn directly from the study of history; at others, perhaps including our own time, the relationship is more indirect. \r\nThis Very Short Introduction explores the core concerns and questions in the field of the history of political thought. Richard Whatmore considers the history of political thought as a branch of political philosophy\/political science, and examines the approaches of core theorists such as Reinhart Koselleck, Strauss, Michel Foucault, and the so-called Cambridge School of Quentin Skinner and John Pocock. Assessing the current relationship between political history, theory and action, Whatmore concludes with an analysis of its relevant for current politics.\r\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

It seemed beautiful to her, rich and strong and glorious.' Willa Cather's second novel, O Pioneers! (1913) tells the story of Alexandra Bergson and her determination to save her immigrant family's Nebraska farm. Clear-headed and fiercely independent, Alexandra's passionate faith in the prairie makes her a wealthy landowner. By placing a strong, self-reliant woman at the centre of her tale, Cather gives the quintessentially American novel of the soil a radical cast. Yet, although influenced by the democratic utopianism of Walt Whitman and the serene regionalism of Sarah Orne Jewett, O Pioneers! is more than merely an elegy for the lost glories of America's pioneer past. In its rage for order and efficiency, the novel testifies to the cultural politics of the Progressive Era, the period of massive social and economic transformations that helped to modernize the United States in the years between the Civil War and World War.

AI will change democracy. The only question is how. AI s impact on democracy will go far beyond headline-grabbing political deepfakes and automated misinformation. Everywhere it will be used, it will create risks and opportunities to shake up long-standing power structures. In this highly readable and advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI could dramatically change every aspect of democracy for both good and ill. The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive and altering the balance of power between legislators and administrators. They show how the scalability of AI is enabling civil servants to enforce regulations on corporations used to skirting the rules, which will reshape private-sector behavior. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution. Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations to drive shareholder value aren t designed to deliver the fairness and trust necessary to enhance democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, the broad scope of an AI-augmented democracy would help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and organize against anti-democratic policies. Democracy is facing new challenges worldwide, and AI will be a part of that. It can inform, empower, and engage citizens. It can also disinform, disempower, and disengage them. The choice is up to us. Schneier and Sanders blaze the path forward, showing us how we can use it to make an AI-infused democracy stronger and more participatory.","authors":["Bruce Schneier","Nathan E.

No one knows where it is going but the best way to future-cast is to look at the past. John Simpson animates for us a tradition of researching and editing, showing us both the technical lexicography needed to understand a word, and the careful poetry needed to construct its definition. He challenges both the idea that dictionaries are definitive, and the notion that language is falling apart. With a sense of humour, an ability to laugh at bureaucracy and an inclination to question the status quo, John Simpson gives life to the colourful characters at the OED and to the English language itself. He splices his stories with entertaining and erudite diversions into the history and origin of words such as 'kangaroo', 'hot-dog' , 'pommie', 'bicycle' , not ignoring those swearwords often classed as 'Anglo-Saxon' !

They expected to drive the Axis forces north and be in Rome by Christmas. And although Italy surrendered, the German forces resisted fiercely and the swift hoped-for victory descended into one of the most brutal battles of the war.\r\nEven though shipping and materiel were already being safeguarded for the D-Day landings, there were still huge expectations on the progress of the invading armies, but those shortages were to slow the advance with tragic consequences. As the weather closed in, the critical weeks leading up to Monte Cassino would inflict a heavy price for every bloody, hard fought mile the Allied troops covered.\r\nChronicling those dark, dramatic months in unflinching and insightful detail, The Savage Storm is unlike any campaign history yet written. James Holland has always recounted the Second World War at ground level, but this version telling brings the story vividly to life like never before. Weaving together a wealth of letters, diaries, and other incredible documents, Holland traces the battles as they were fought - across plains, over mountains, through shattered villages and cities, in intense heat and, towards the end, frigid cold and relentless rain - putting readers at the heart of the action to create an entirely fresh and revealing telling of this most pivotal phase of the war.\r\n_____________________\r\nPraise for James Holland\r\n'Impeccably researched and superbly written' Observer\r\n'Holland has something new to say....

What is the mediator's responsibility when two belligerents conclude a peace agreement to the detriment of a third? Should mediators never be party to 'ethnic cleansing', even if it saves lives? Is a fragile peace worth sacrificing justice for-or will that sacrifice fuel another cycle of violence?\r\n\r\nIn an increasingly dystopian world, Negotiating with the Devil offers both practical guidelines and a moral compass for mediators whose field of action has transformed dramatically. We have gone from soft to hard power; from 'peace dividends' to war in Europe; from the end of one Cold War to a new East-West confrontation in Ukraine; from Pax Americana to a multipolar world; from the dream of an all-powerful UN to the organisation's marginalisation.\r\n\r\nAgainst this tapestry, Hazan sheds light on the complex work of those steering peace negotiations, blending vivid first-hand observation with sharp insights into the psychology of compromise as a first step towards peace.","authors":["Pierre Hazan"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/110\/9781911723110_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/110\/9781911723110_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/110\/9781911723110_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"26,90 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"1er f\u00e9vrier 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Pierre Hazan \u2014 Hurst House","translator":null,"weight":313,"page_count":224,"readership":null,"editor":"Hurst House","price":2690,"published_date":"2024-01-31T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781911723110\/negotiating-with-the-devil-inside-the-world-of-armed-conflict-mediation"},{"id":"9780375726347","title":"The Human Stain ; film tie in","description":"A college professor with a sexual indiscretion in his past is hounded from his job by academic enemies who label him a racist.","authors":["Philip Roth"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/347\/9780375726347_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/347\/9780375726347_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/347\/9780375726347_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"19,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"15 novembre 2003","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Philip Roth \u2014 Vintage Usa","translator":null,"weight":285,"page_count":384,"readership":null,"editor":"Vintage Usa","price":1980,"published_date":"2003-11-14T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780375726347\/the-human-stain-film-tie-in"},{"id":"9780241986974","title":"Colditz : Prisoners of the Castle","description":"THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - AND PERFECT GIFT FOR HISTORY BUFFS!\r\n'A master at setting the pulse racing' Daily Mail\r\n'A fine feat of storytelling . . . will surely become the last word on the subject' Telegraph\r\n_____________________________\r\nFROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SAS: ROGUE HEROES\r\nColditz Castle: a forbidding Gothic tower on a hill in Nazi Germany.
