Murray D: On Democracies and Death Cults
/ B

On Democracies and Death Cults

Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West

For more than two decades, Marwan Barghouti has been held in an Israeli prison cell, much of that time in total isolation. Yet his voice has never been forgotten. Described by the Economist as 'the world's most important prisoner' and often referred to as Palestine's Mandela, Barghouti remains the most widely supported Palestinian political leader. As a long-standing advocate of peace grounded in justice and equality, he has become an enduring symbol of unity and hope - even from behind bars. Unbroken brings together, for the first time, a powerful and intimate portrait of Barghouti's life and struggle for a free Palestine: private letters to his family, personal writings, correspondence with global public figures, press interviews, public statements and rare personal photographs. This is his story, in his own words. Unsilenced, unbroken.

In Pursuit of Freedom for Palestine

Unbroken

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

Decisions that Fit: How Self-Knowledge Shapes Better Choices offers a practical, research-based approach to one of life's most essential skills: making sound choices.
I present decision-making as a learnable discipline that depends on three key resources: personality, knowledge, and skills. The book guides readers through the psychological foundations of choice, examining how cognitive biases, emotional states, and personal values shape every decision we make-often without our awareness.
Beginning with fundamental concepts, I distinguish decision-making from critical thinking and explore why intelligent people frequently make poor choices. Readers learn how mental shortcuts (heuristics) can both help and hinder judgment.
The heart of the book provides an extensive toolkit for better decisions: analytical frameworks such as SWOT analysis and decision matrices alongside strategic concepts like scenario planning, no-regret actions, and the stop-loss principle. I draw on sources ranging from Stoic philosophy and Chinese stratagems to modern therapeutic approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Practical exercises form a substantial portion of the work. Six-week training plans address decision-making under stress and during anger. Journaling templates, reflection exercises, and role-based planning methods help readers apply concepts immediately. Special attention is given to personality traits (the Big Five) and how individuals with different tendencies can optimize their decision-making processes.
The book concludes with advanced concepts including design thinking, the consulting approach, and naturalistic decision-making. A historical appendix traces the evolution of decision-making practices from ancient philosophy through the age of artificial intelligence.
Written for anyone seeking to improve their choices-professionals, leaders, students, or anyone facing important life decisions-this book combines intellectual depth with actionable guidance. My goal is simple yet profound: to help readers make fewer wrong decisions and live a life that is truly their own.

Decisions that fit

Diese Anthologie will von Brücken sprechen, die das Überwinden der Lebenshindernisse bedeuten, das Erreichen des anderen Ufers, egal wie voller Löcher, Barrieren oder Blockaden der Weg dorthin auch sein mag. Und gerade die Worte, die sich durch ihre Melodik, ihren Rhythmus und ihre Inspiration zur Poesie vereinen, sind der Weg, das andere Ufer zu erreichen. Durch die Poesie "überbrücken" wir unsere Meere, Träume und Sorgen. In dieser Anthologie schaffen neun Autorinnen und Autoren poetische Brücken, die gesellschaftliche, kulturelle und zwischenmenschliche Hindernisse überwinden. Die Idee war es, in diese Anthologie so viele junge Autorinnen und Autoren wie möglich aufzunehmen, um sie zu weiterem Schaffen zu ermutigen und sie mit einer "Brücke der Worte" zu verbinden. Gerade die Poesie ist jene literarische Gattung, die unterschiedliche Kulturen, gesellschaftliche Schichten und Altersgruppen miteinander vereint.

Gedichte von Autorinnen und Autoren aus Serbien, Bosnien und Herzegowina, Österreich und Deutschland. Pjesme autora i autorki iz Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine, Austrije i Njema¿ke

A unique look at crisis leadership and the hard but invaluable lessons that can be learned in difficult and uncertain times. Our fascination with leadership runs deep and has done so for centuries - just witness the books on Nelson, Churchill and Thatcher. But what exactly are the attributes and competencies that separate those who lead effectively from those who won't, don't or can't? For many people, the acid test of true leadership comes during moments of crisis, when the stakes are highest and the decisions most difficult. It's no surprise, then, that our fascination with stories of leaders overcoming great adversity is endless. This interest has been exacerbated in recent years as every organization in the world has found itself in a crisis at some level, whether due to a collapse in sales, an unexpected spike in demand, a logistics nightmare or the sheer uncertainty that the Covid-19 pandemic wrought. Leading from the Frontline offers multiple perspectives of leadership from across multiple types of crisis. Each chapter tells the story of a leader who steered their organization through a particularly tumultuous period. It looks at the challenges they faced, the decisions they were forced to make, the personal pressures they encountered, the lessons they learned and the mistakes they made. It also examines how the crisis they responded to subsequently changed their organization or the environment in which they operate. Including issues of a medical, socio-political, environmental and military nature, while featuring a range of reputational crises case studies, Leading from the Frontline is essential reading for any leader to prepare their organization for uncertain futures.

Schluss mit der Empörungslogik - wie wir unsere Demokratie verteidigen und Frustration in mutige Politik verwandelnDie Demokratie steht unter Druck - doch Rückzug ist für Rasha Nasr, die junge&nbsp;SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete&nbsp;aus Dresden, keine Option. In ihrem Bericht aus dem Maschinenraum des parlamentarischen Alltags rechnet sie mit der Berliner&nbsp;Talkshow-Logik&nbsp;ab und fordert eine Rückkehr zur Substanz.Nasr macht deutlich, dass in der heutigen Politik zu oft darüber geredet wird, was brennt, während niemand darüber spricht, was trägt. Rechte Erzählungen gewinnen nicht, weil sie wahr sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind. Statt sich hinter Sachzwängen zu verstecken, tritt die Autorin in ihrer leidenschaftlichen&nbsp;Streitschrift&nbsp;für klare Prioritäten und echte&nbsp;Verantwortung&nbsp;ein - fernab von Identitätsdebatten. Sie beweist, dass Demokratie keine Komfortzone ist, sondern den&nbsp;Mut&nbsp;erfordert, unperfekte Kompromisse mit&nbsp;Haltung&nbsp;zu vertreten und Konflikte ohne Feindschaft auszuhalten.'Verantwortung heißt bleiben' ist ein persönliches und kämpferisches Buch, das Wut konstruktiv in politischen Mut übersetzt. Ein starkes Plädoyer für Menschen, die Haltung zeigen wollen und sich für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, soziale Sicherheit und Freiheit einsetzen - und ein authentisches Vorbild dafür, unsere Demokratie aktiv zu verteidigen.

Verantwortung heißt bleiben

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.

The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card.

When I Kill You

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

WITH A NEW AFTERWORD The INSTANT New York Times bestseller Instant Los Angeles Times bestseller Finalist, Dayton Literary Peace Prize One of NPR's Books We Love One of Newsweek Staffers' Favorite Books of the Year Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize “In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail….Terrifying.”—The Wall Street Journal There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States. Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have. Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.
