Irmãos Koch, think tanks e coletivos juvenis
Encontrando ensejo nas manifestações que ficaram conhecidas como Jornadas de Junho, deflagradas em 2013, alguns jovens ganharam projeção no cenário político brasileiro. Eles já estavam previamente organizados, manejavam as redes sociais e passaram a replicar táticas já utilizadas nos Estados Unidos. Diziam-se libertarianos – anarcocapitalistas, os mais radicais – e vinham de treinamentos e intenso intercâmbio em think tanks, que atuam numa rede em expansão vendendo o livre mercado como fórmula mágica para resolver todos os males sociais. No epicentro dessa rede estão os irmãos Koch, bilionários do setor petroquímico, que financiam think tanks e intelectuais difusores do libertarianismo por meio da prática de uma espécie de "filantropia" que os consolidou como verdadeiros plutocratas. Assim, os Koch encontraram na educação da juventude um meio promissor para a construção de sua visão de mundo como algo inevitável e natural.
Think!
This isn't the time to Blink. It's time to THINK! -- before it's too late. Outraged by the downward spiral of American intellect and culture, Michael R. LeGault offers the flip side of Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling phenomenon, Blink, which theorized that our best decision-making is done on impulse, without factual knowledge or critical analysis. If bestselling books are advising us to not think, LeGault argues, it comes as no surprise that sharp, incisive reasoning has become a lost art in the daily life of Americans. Somewhere along the line, the Age of Reason morphed into the Age of Emotion; this systemic erosion is costing time, money, jobs, and lives in the twenty-first century, leading...
The Next Pope
Watch the Highlights Video of the June 24 live panel discussion from Rome.??????? When Pope Francis' pontificate has passed, it's very likely that one of the nineteen cardinals featured in these pages will be elected to become the next Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics and the most influential and widely respected moral and religious figure in the world. Yet outside the Vatican walls, despite the considerable roles that some of these men play in the Church and in the world, few of them are known by the public — or even by their brother cardinals. Hence this book, an engrossing and thoroughly documented instrument through which a future pope may be known

Pwa90
"In a remarkable career spanning more than six decades, Philip W. Anderson has made many fundamental contributions to physics. As codified in his oft-quoted phrase "More is Different", Anderson has been the most forceful and persuasive proponent of the radical, but now ubiquitous, viewpoint of emergent phenomena: truly fundamental concepts that can and do emerge from studies of Nature at each layer of complexity or energy scale. Anderson's ideas have also extended deeply into other areas of physics, including the Anderson-Higgs mechanism and the dynamics of pulsars. PWA90: A Lifetime of Emergence is a volume of original scientific essays and personal reminiscences of Philip W Anderson by experts in the field, that were presented as part of "PWA90: Emergent Frontiers of Condensed Matter" meeting held at Princeton in December 2013 to highlight Anderson's contributions to physics"--
Us and Them
This groundbreaking and eloquently written book explains how and why people are wedded to the notion that they belong to differing human kinds--tribe-type categories like races, ethnic groups, nations, religions, casts, street gangs, sports fandom, and high school cliques.
Historia Patria
Based on a broad range of archival and published sources, including parliamentary and ministerial records, pedagogical treatises and journals, teachers' manuals, memoirs, and a sample of over 200 primary and secondary school textbooks, the study examines ideological and political conflict among groups of elites seeking to shape popular understanding of national history and identity through the schools, both public and private.
Exactions of Colonial Governing
Colonial governing in Northern Nigeria has not been without emotions, tensions and struggles. Conflicts and misunderstandings plagues the foreign rulers themselves and their African employees, in dealing with the African Studies. The British political officers on the ground did their best at work but they were sometimes frustrated by their African political agents and local rulers. Yet, the political officers knew moments of joy, as much as the political agents. This monograph is instructive on emotions and their management at the workplace in Northern Nigeria.
The Development of Modern Spain
This reinterpretation of the history of modern Spain from the Enlightenment to the threshold of the twenty-first century explains the surprising changes that took Spain from a backward and impoverished nation, with decades of stagnation, civil disorder, and military rule, to one of the ten most developed economies in the world. The culmination of twenty years' work by the dean of economic history in Spain, founder of the Revista de Historia Económica and recipient of the Premio Rey Juan Carlos, Spain's highest honor for an academic, the book is rigorously analytical and quantitative, but eminently accessible. It reveals views and approaches little explored until now, showing how the main stages of Spanish political history have been largely determined by economic developments and by a seldom mentioned factor: human capital formation. It is comparative throughout, and concludes by applying the lessons of Spanish history to the plight of today's developing nations.
