Identiteit
waardigheid, ressentiment en identiteitspolitiekIdentiteitspolitiek op basis van religie, ras, etniciteit of gender heeft op dit moment de overhand. De opleving van de gepolitiseerde islam, identiteitspolitiek gericht op etnische minderheden, activisme op universiteiten en het anti-immigranten-populisme zijn daar voorbeelden van. De behoefte aan identiteit kan niet zomaar opzij worden gezet. Daarom moet zij ingevuld worden op een manier die de democratie ondersteunt in plaats van ondermijnt. 'Identiteit' is een noodzakelijk boek – een ernstige waarschuwing dat we onszelf veroordelen tot voortdurend conflict, tenzij we een universele invulling aan menselijke waardigheid geven. Fukuyama bekijkt in ‘Identiteit’ het electorale succes van populisten. Dit succes wordt vaak verklaard vanuit economische motieven, maar komt in feite voort uit een behoefte aan identiteit. In ‘Het einde van de geschiedenis’ schreef Fukuyama al dat mensen hechten aan erkenning van hun waardigheid. Nu verklaart hij vanuit dit begrip het huidige tijdsgewricht.

Evolution
"Evolution" provides an accessible and authoritative exploration of the fundamental principles of biological transformation and the history of life on Earth. Written during a pivotal era in scientific discourse, this work demystifies the complex mechanisms of natural selection, heredity, and the origin of species for a general audience. Vernon L. Kellogg, a distinguished entomologist and biologist, examines the evidence for evolution found in the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and embryology. He addresses the then-emerging fields of genetics and cytology, bridging the gap between Darwinian theory and modern scientific understanding. The book delves into the philosophical and social implications of evolutionary thought, emphasizing its role as a unifying concept in the natural sciences. Rich in historical significance, "Evolution" remains a vital document for understanding the development of scientific education in the early twentieth century. It offers readers a clear-eyed perspective on the continuity of life and the intricate processes that shape the diversity of the natural world. This work serves as both an educational primer and a compelling defense of scientific inquiry into the origins and progress of life.

Ghosted
A social, historical and scientific exploration of ghost-hunting, and why our fascination with the paranormal is as timeless as the ghosts we hope to find.The history of ghosts is ancient, but the history of active ghost-hunting is relatively recent, and investigations into the paranormal have developed hand-in-spirit-hand with scientific discoveries, from radio waves to smartphone apps. Now, more than ever, we want to find our own ghosts. Is it to help process grief? Become influencers? Or ease our fears of death?Ghosted follows the story of paranormal investigations from the Victorian era to the modern day, examining how our fascination with ghost hunting has changed alongside technology and culture. Where we once gathered around tables, observing and recording every movement of the medium, we now take electronic equipment and app-laden phones around haunted locations to catch ghosts digitally. Where theatres and concert halls held sold-out performances by conjurers recreating the tricks of fraudulent mediums, we now delight in picking apart and exposing the evidence presented on reality television programmes. In this book, Alice Vernon embarks on a journey to encounter a ghost, travelling to some of the UK's most haunted locations and encouraging readers to interrogate their own scepticism and belief. Ghosted examines what we are looking for, why we are looking for it, and why have we never given up the ghost.

Three's Company
Does third party military intervention help or hurt an incumbent government during an insurgency? This study attempts to answer this question by testing prevailing military theories of counterinsurgency in the context of third party intervention using basic tests for statistical significance and bivariate contingency. The results show that intervention on behalf of a counterinsurgent decreases the likelihood of a successful government outcome, and specifically, interventions in general, interventions involving the deployment of combat forces, interventions involving military occupation, and interventions by democratic states decrease the likelihood of counterinsurgent success. Early intervention, meaning the commitment of third-party support within the first year of conflict, does not appear to have a significant effect on counterinsurgency success. Likewise, the decision to end an intervention early does not appear to significantly alter the chance of counterinsurgent failure. Interventions in support of an "indirect" approach to counterinsurgencies are the only cases that exhibit a significant improvement for the chances of successful outcome.

Primary Motivators of Suicide Terrorism
After September 11th 2001, the United States (US) has come to regard terrorism, specifically catastrophic terrorism, as one of the gravest threats to its national security. In particular, the threat from terrorism involves the use weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or attacks that generate mass casualties, enormous economic damage, catastrophic psychological effects, or some combination thereof. From 1980 to 2003, suicide terrorists conducted only three percent of all terrorist attacks yet they caused more than forty-eight percent of the casualties.2 The particular case of suicide terrorism deserves extra attention due to its demonstrated lethality and targeting accuracy. Thus, this paper focuses on the primary motivators of suicide terrorism because of the expectation that terrorist groups will most likely carry out catastrophic events through the use of suicide attacks.

Werner Rügemer Amitié fatale
Le capitalisme des États-Unis en plein essor se présentait au monde avec Freedom, Democracy et prospérité. Mais les pratiques de l¿"American First", avec le génocide, l'exploitation du travail, le pillage par la guerre de biens étrangers, n'ont été que modernisées. La Première Guerre mondiale est devenue la première entreprise mondiale, les partenaires alliés sont devenus dépendants. Après la guerre, les entreprises des USA ont investi en Europe occidentale. Mussolini a été submergé de crédits. Les entreprises des USA ont approvisionné Franco et ont équipé l'armée allemande pour une guerre contre la « Russie ». En Suisse, la nouvelle banque centrale dirigée par les États-Unis blanchissait l'or volé par les nazis. La persécution des juifs a été occultée. Avec le largage de deux bombes atomiques sur la population civile, de nouvelles guerres ont commencé contre de nouveaux ennemis ¿ en violation systématique du droit international.Dr. Werner Rügemer, Köln ( Cologne) / Allemagne, publiciste et philosophe engagé. Depuis les années 1980, il publie sur la dégradation politique et morale de la société capitaliste guidée par les Etats Unis, sur l¿opposition extrême entre riches et pauvres, sur les relations entre l'armée, les services secrets et la haute technologie, sur la destruction de l'environnement et les atteintes à la santé des travailleurs immigrés bien peu rémunérés.

The United Nations
"UN officials call their private allies and agents "Non-Governmental Organizations," or NGOs. They know that, without these NGOs, the UN would be just another quiet and ineffectual bureaucracy, growing in size and power no faster than bureaucracy in general. Only with the help of thousands of private organization leaders scattered throughout the country can the UN put on programs of propaganda like that of UN week in Pasadena. And only by such nation-wide campaigning can the UN exercise its growing control over American tax monies and American Government officials."

Forerunners
Did you see someone who really wasn't there? Did you hear three unexplained knocks on your door or window, or when you were alone, did someone whisper your name in your ear. Did a family picture fall off the wall and shatter for no good reason? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, then you may have experienced what is commonly referred to as a forerunner. Forerunners are serious business. And forerunners, in all their forms, are a harbinger of death. Those who have experienced them confess that the presence of such a force has touched their soul, leaving them, in many cases, shaken to their core. These are their stories.

Adela Pankhurst
First biography of Pankhurst, daughter of the famous suffragist family and a wayward and passionate participant in early Australian radical politics. As the youngest daughter of the famous British suffragette family, Adela Pankhurst's life began as it would continue: among thinkers and activists. She was arrested for her part in the fight for female suffrage in the United Kingdom but, after differences with her mother she was sent to Australia. Arriving in Melbourne in 1914, Adela quickly became involved with the women's movement and the anti-war and anti-conscription movements. Wayward and passionate, she zigzagged from cause to cause. Adela was a founding member of the Communist Party of Australia, but later became involved with the extreme right-wing Australia First movement. During her fast-paced life she managed to offend socialists, communists, trade unionists, patriots, pacifists, feminists, nationalists, imperialists and conservatives. Verna Coleman vividly brings this extraordinary woman to life. Feisty and inspirational, Adela Pankhurst brought a whole-hearted commitment to her various campaigns, and to read her biography is to be caught up in the heady excitement of some of the most significant political causes of the twentieth century.
