What is sanctuary for those who have been displaced? Why do people flee different situations and conflicts worldwide, and what would a perfect version of sanctuary for those forced out of their homes look like? How can art, which has always recorded and reflected the worst experiences of humanity, also be a salve, an escape or a route to somewhere new.

In this startling new memoir, Sibel Edmonds—the most classified woman in U.S. history—takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded. Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public’s right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable.

He chronicles Searchinger’s uphill battles against bad science and bad politics, both driven by the overwhelming influence of agricultural interests.

Met zijn vertrek uit de presidentsverkiezingen van 2024 gaat het weer over Trump.

En ella, con una visión casi profética, se presentan los grandes temas que el filósofo surcoreano desarrollaría luego durante más de una década, alcanzando celebridad mundial. En conmemoración de toda esa trayectoria filosófica, y por su rotunda actualidad, volvemos a presentar ahora esta obra en una nueva traducción.

History is not just made on battlefields—it is written in whispers, coded messages, and the silent betrayals of spies. From World War II resistance fighters to Cold War double agents, the greatest conflicts of the modern era were fought not only with guns and tanks, but with secrets, deception, and intelligence warfare. The Silent Warriors takes you deep into the world of espionage, covert missions, and psychological warfare, uncovering the real-life stories of the spies, saboteurs, and secret operatives who changed history—often without the world ever knowing their names.

Amb un llenguatge evocador i poètic, però alhora amb un estil provocador i sense complexos, ens fa replantejar les prioritats per combatre els discursos de la lògica del capitalisme.

Daniel Gamper sostiene que los tiempos están maduros para nuevos aguafiestas que pongan palos en las ruedas de la risa. La risa es lenguaje y, como las palabras, puede ser cortés, falsa, amigable, mordaz, insultante y discriminadora.
