United in Grace, Beyond DebateConversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? But what if thats the wrong question? Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as: What if conversations about abortion didnt have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing? What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved? How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict? What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace? Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.Jesus led with grace. As we reimagine our approach to the abortion conversation, so can we.

The new ruling elite in the west the ultra-wealthy tech magnates, financial wizards and corporate bosses that wield enormous power over us embrace extremely progressive political ideas. What explains this apparent paradox?In this scintillating critique of these new radical plutocrats, conservative commentator Ed West argues that the luxury beliefs of the new Brahmin caste are perfectly consistent with their accumulation of ever greater wealth. Ultra-liberalism, with its inherent bias towards valorising autonomy, freedom, and cosmopolitanism, is a creed that inherently benefits the rich. Examining how this new elite allies itself with both younger, poorer knowledge workers and immigrants against the more culturally conservative working classes, he argues that the rise of identity politics allows the wealthy to pose as social justice warriors in a way that poses no threat to their own privilege and power.A must-read for both conservatives and traditional leftists, Brahmins is a razor-sharp diagnosis of a culture that is combining the worst element of capitalism and progressivism.

Award-winning broadcaster and journalist John Kampfner has had a front-row seat at some of the most seismic turning-points in modern history - from the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet communism, to the consequences of the Iraq war and the killing fields of Rwanda. He also written several acclaimed books including the bestselling conversation-starter Why The Germans Do It Better: Notes from a Grown-up Country.Braver New World is Kampfners most timely and urgent book to date. At a moment when it feels the world is falling apart, he reports from ten countries that are forging new paths forward and coming up with innovative solutions to the questions that ultimately we all want answers for: Where am I going to live? What happens when I get sick? Am I learning the right skills? Are there ways of ensuring my children arent being brainwashed with disinformation? How is my environment going to be protected without costing me my livelihood?From Austria to Taiwan, and Estonia to India, Kampfner introduces us to the people and places where the most daring things are happening. A book of hope for hard times, Braver New World shows us that it is when countries have their backs against the wall that they come up with the best and bravest solutions - and reminds us never to lose hope, as the answers are out there if we look for them.

Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience. Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London. Bridgertons Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featheringtons house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street. Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austens world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series dance card. A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Baths former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunters Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street. Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel. The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.

Desde la perspectiva de la izquierda crítica que no deja de crecer en la Cuba actual, el sociólogo cubano Frank García Hernández encara una obra monumental y necesaria: historiar la Revolución cubana desde el levantamiento que le dio origen hasta la actualidad. Lejos de la hagiografia y de la diatriba antirrevolucionaria, este libro permite recorrer las diferentes etapas, procesos, marchas y contramarchas de la Cuba socialista. La Revolucion cubana es un mito y, se sabe, los mitos no se avienen a ser historiados. Garcia Hernandez, formado en la Cuba revolucionaria, logra taladrar esa estructura mitica y desarma creencias arraigadas. Con numerosas fuentes, muchas de ellas ineditas, censuradas o poco conocidas fuera de la isla, indaga temas sensibles como la adscripcion comunista del primer Fidel Castro, los motivos del alejamiento del gobierno revolucionario del Che Guevara, las causas de la radicalizacion politica ininterrumpida del castrismo o la historia detras de la Reforma Agraria. ¿Como vivio Cuba el fin de la Union Sovietica? ¿Como sobrevivio al "Periodo Especial"? ¿En que momento Cuba comenzo a seguir el modelo chino? ¿Se encamina la isla hacia un capitalismo amparado en simbolos socialistas? Este ensayo reconstruye como la Revolucion cubana promesa de libertad y socialismo desemboco en la crisis politica que sacude hoy a la isla, sin borrar su camino heroico. Es imprescindible para comprender la verdadera complejidad historica de Cuba y sus revoluciones, con profundidad y compromiso intelectual.

Una mirada crítica a la ley contra la Violencia de Género.Las mujeres maltratadas recibieron un escudo necesario con la Ley Orgánica de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género de 2004. En veinte años de vigencia, muchas se han salvado gracias a el, pero nadie ha querido mirar a esas otras mujeres que, fingiendose victimas, emplean el escudo como espada. La sociedad ha respondido siempre con un Esto no existe a cada denuncia falsa que estas mujeres han utilizado como arma arrojadiza.Hay quien dice que es mejor no hablar de esto. Pero no se hace daño diciendo la verdad, sino callando. Si ayer se callaba sobre la vida oculta y martirizante de las mujeres maltratadas y encerradas con un bestia, hoy se calla sobre la vida oculta y martirizante de los hombres enganchados en los resortes puntiagudos de un mecanismo de proteccion empleado como trampa mortal.Es un fracaso palmario de un pais en su lucha por la igualdad. Se ha tachado de negacionista a quien mencionaba este fenomeno y se ha impuesto una espiral de silencio. Este libro, donde todas las victimas tienen su lugar con independencia de su sexo, pretende contribuir a destruirla.Sobre NADIE SE VA A REIR se dijo: La literalidad achica el mundo, lo convierte en un claustro de gente cognitivamente plana y perezosa, insensible a la ironia y al humor. La critica de Soto Ivars a este mundo literal es su nuevo libro, Nadie se va a reir, publicado en Debate, en el que cuenta la extravagante historia de Anonimo Garcia, un artista que acabo enfrentandose a una pena de carcel por una satira y una critica que los medios y la sociedad española se tomaron de forma literal. Carlos Granes, The ObjectiveSobre LA CASA DEL AHORCADO se dijo: Soto Ivars desmonta la simpleza de los debates binarios y demuestra que el duelo a garrotazos de Goya es un fenomeno global. No contento con eso, reivindica el valor del pensamiento critico e individual frente a las obcecaciones grupales, ideologicas y casi ecumenicas como nuevas formas de persecucion y censura. Karina Sainz Borgo, VozpopuliSobre ARDEN LAS REDES se dijo: Soto Ivars toma la palabra y lleva a cabo, a fuerza de buen periodista, una investigacion encaminada a desvelar los entresijos del sucio asunto de los linchamientos digitales. Fernando AramburuSi has escrito tuits y los has borrado antes de publicarlos, Soto Ivars te explica el porque. Jordi Evole

***LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION***IN SEPTEMBER 2022, in response to the death of Mahsa J na Amini in police custody, after being arrested and beaten for not wearing her hijab properly, thousands of Iranians - mostly women - took to the streets in one of the countrys largest uprisings in decades: the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.Despite the threat of imprisonment or death for her work as a journalist, Fatemeh Jamalpour joined the throngs of people fighting to topple Irans religious extremist regime. Meanwhile, Nilo Tabrizy was covering the protests from New York, knowing that spotlighting the brutality of the Iranian government meant she would not be able to safely return to her birth country.Though they had only met once, united by sisterhood and shared purpose, Nilo and Fatemeh corresponded constantly as they worked to shed light on what was happening on the ground. For the Sun After Long Nights is their extraordinary and deeply moving chronicle of the spirit and legacy of this historic movement, as well as the history, geopolitics and influences that led to this pivotal moment.

Freya Indias writing is compassionate, gripping, and deeply psychological Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious GenerationComing of age has always been a time of angst and inner turmoil, especially for girls. But today girls have to contend with those worries in a world of AR filters, TikTok plastic surgeons, dating apps, hook up culture, online porn, modern sex-positivity, profit-driven online therapy apps, direct-to-door medication and even fully customisable AI girlfriends. All personalised by algorithms to play on their innermost fears and insecurities. It is an onslaught of advertising, it is on portable platforms designed to be maximally addictive, and it is far beyond what any previous generation of girls have ever faced.Girls teases out and traces both technological and cultural shifts in the last decadefrom social media to shifting family structures, waning religious attachment and the collapse of communal spaces. And Girls exposes the sinister and rapid intensification and ruthless commercialisation of the inner lives of girls and young women which leads to the loss of their authentic selvesa loss that corporations are all too ready to exploit.Girls is a personal journey and intimate portrait of girls today, in all their mystery and torment: one that captures the soul of the most complex and misunderstood generation so far, and that empowers them to see their lives through a different lens.

In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it.With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliche or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside.Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identitiesas worker, writer, woman, and witness.

This engaging work blends wisdom and drama, at times reading like a telenovela and others like a detective chronicle. June Carolyn Erlick, Harvard UniversityIn the 1970s and 80s, while ABC, NBC, and CBS were battling for every screen in America, a Mexican family, together with a shrewd American operator, was quietly building the foundations of a media empire. Facing television magnates like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch, they achieved the unthinkable: to break into the ruthless competitive world of U.S. media. Later, forced out of the market by political and corporate interests, they formed an alliance as improbable as it was strategic, with none other than the former talent agent of Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando.This book unravels the personal intrigues, hidden tensions, power plays, and cultural twists behind the media empire now known as Univision, and reveals how its programming including telenovelas, soccer, news, and musicdefined an identity and won over an audience that grew at the same pace as the network.A fascinating tale of ambition, risk, and the dream of giving a voice to millions of Hispanics in the United States, Live from America tells the story of how Spanish-language television forever changed the countrys media landscape.
