The Police Mandate

The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.

The book contains several essays on race, some of which had been published earlier in The Atlantic Monthly. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.

In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.

The Souls of Black Folk

ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST 2026LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

A Story of War, Technology and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

The Elements of Power

In a world driven by metrics, accolades, and relentless performance
standards, the question is no longer whether we are qualified-but
whether we feel qualified. For decades, researchers and professionals
have documented a striking phenomenon: individuals who, despite evident
achievements and capabilities, carry the persistent fear of being "found out"
as frauds. These are people who may have spent years building expertise,
delivering results, and earning trust-yet still doubt whether they deserve
any of it.

From Comparison to Self Trust

The Imposter in You

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

Routledge Research in Air and Space Law

This book explores a normative and regulatory pathway for Africa's venture into outer space. It situates African space law and policy within the continent's regionalist vision and mission under Agenda 2063 while also engaging in a comparative analysis with global models to suggest new legal standards, investment approaches, and institutional measures that can be adopted incrementally by the Member States.The volume emphasises how space is no longer an aspirational luxury but a critical infrastructure for food security, climate resilience, education, medicine, and continental cohesion. It proposes the idea of 'Outer Space Pan-Africanism' as an essential lens for interpreting and shaping the political economy of outer space law and policy in Africa. It defines this 'Outer-Space Pan-Africanism' as a set of six principles based on Pan-African solidarity in outer space initiatives, technological self-reliance, equitable access to space benefits and alignment with global space law and policy. Through case studies of South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and Egypt, the book discusses how divergent legal and policy models interact with regional development objectives. At the same time, it also examines the significance of benchmarks drawn from the European Union (EU), Latin America and the Caribbean, the Arab World, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in illuminating transferable lessons in funding mechanisms, governance, technology transfer and phased integration.This book will be useful for postgraduate students, researchers and academics interested in space law, international economic law, development economics and political economy, international relations and regional integration in Africa.

The Book of Tea ¿A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture, and the Simple Life (1906) by Okakura Kakuz¿ (1906) is a long essay linking the role of chad¿ (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life and protesting Western caricatures of "the East".

Addressed to a Western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things, the most important of which were simplicity and humility:

It (Teaism) insulates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.

This, Okakura believed, was an aesthetic that should inform everything from the arts and architecture to daily life and was already informing them in Japan.

The Book of Tea

Freemasonry, the world's oldest and largest fraternity, has been famously described as "a system of morality, in allegory and illustrated by symbols." One of the fraternity's hallmarks, however, is a relaxed attitude in regard to the interpretation of symbolism, since very few of its symbols are clearly explained in the rituals. Rather, the Fraternity encourages its members to investigate the symbols themselves. In this never-before-published work, Albert Pike turns his profound erudition and penetrating intellect to an investigation of the sources and meanings of the oldest and most frequently encountered Masonic symbols. Pike was arguably the most notable character in the history of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, as he revised its constitutions and rituals, and wrote scores of works that influenced the practices of virtually every Supreme Council worldwide. Pike, who believed that symbolism was the "soul of Masonry," was dissatisfied with the "diet of straw" fed to students of Masonic symbolism. is led him to investigate the esoteric sources he believed contributed their wisdom to the Fraternity in an attempt to rationally account for their introduction and significance. He prepared and printed, in limited editions, two studies on Masonic symbolism, but many questions were left unanswered. In addition, he prepared the present text under the title, Esoterika, but he considered it too esoteric to be printed. It thus remained in manuscript in the private archives of the Supreme Council where only a handful Masons have been allowed to see it. 

Now in its second edition, this book includes the summation of Pike's many private discourses and lectures which kept audiences spellbound for hours on end. It treats such topic as the "Square and Compasses," "Weapons and Blows of the Assassins," "The 47th Problem," and much more. The editor has added an introduction, additional illustrations, copious critical notes, and several appendices, which double the length of the original manuscript. Among the appendices are the complete texts of four early catechisms and exposés Pike mentioned throughout his study. Although these exposures differ greatly from Freemasonry as practiced today, they may help us understand how Pike arrived at his ideas.

Symbolism of the Blue Degrees of Freemasonry: Albert Pike's "Esoterika"

Albert Pike's Esoterika

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (French: Psychologie des Foules; literally: Psychology of Crowds) is a book authored by Gustave Le Bon that was first published in 1895.

In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: "impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others. Le Bon claimed that "an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself - either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant - in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer.
