Cómo Sobrevivir al Fin del Mundo
by Pílula DigitalEn las entrañas de la modernidad, donde la tecnología evoluciona a ritmo acelerado y las fronteras entre lo posible y lo inimaginable se disuelven, una sombra siniestra se levanta en el horizonte de la imaginación humana: el fin del mundo. La ansiedad que surge de ese horizonte es innegable, un eco ancestral de nuestra naturaleza inquisitiva e inquietante. En ese escenario, explorar lo desconocido es un acto que evoca miedo y fascinación en proporciones iguales. La humanidad hace mucho tiempo ha explorado las profundidades del futuro, pintando escenarios apocalípticos en pantallas de ficción, religión e imaginación colectiva. Desde el colapso ambiental a la proliferación de enfermedades mortales, desde la devastación nuclear a la dominación tecnológica, los escenarios apocalípticos son vastos y polifacéticos. ¿Pero por qué nos entregamos a esas visiones sombrías del porvenir? ¿Por qué, incluso mientras deseamos un mañana brillante, nos vemos obligados a enfrentar las sombras que pueden oscurecerlo? La respuesta reside en nuestra doble naturaleza. Somos seres racionales, capaces de planificar y preparar. La búsqueda de la previsibilidad nos empujó a prever lo peor para evitar sorpresas fatales. Pero también somos seres emocionales, susceptibles a sentimientos que desafían la lógica. El miedo a lo desconocido hace eco profundamente en nosotros, recordándonos la fragilidad de la existencia y la brevedad de nuestro paso por este mundo.

The Complete Works Volume of Rosa Luxemburg: Volume V
by Rosa LuxemburgThis volume is the first to contain all of Luxemburg&’s eloquent writings on the 1917 Russian Revolution and 1918-19 German RevolutionThis volume is the first to contain all of Luxemburg&’s eloquent writings on the 1917 Russian and 1918-19 German Revolutions. It also contains articles, essays and manuscripts on the European socialist movement prior to World War I and her effort to rebuild the socialist movement on revolutionary foundations in its aftermath.Much of this material appears in English for the first time. Her incisive contributions on revolutionary strategy, the German and Russian Revolutions, and the transition to socialism reveal a profound commitment to radical democracy, which becomes evident as she elaborates on her lived experience with razor-sharp conceptualizations of the mass strike.Her democratic commitment is also highlighted in her deepening conflict with the bureaucratic conservatism afflicting the German Social Democratic Party.She is horrified yet at the same time grimly analytical while surveying the unfolding violence and brutality of the First World War.Deeply inspired by Russia&’s 1917 upsurge, she is nonetheless compelled to analyze and criticize fatal limitations of the Russian Revolution.Swept up in the revolutionary chaos sweeping through Germany in 1918-1919 which results in her own martyrdom, she gives voice to revolution&’s final testament: &“I was, I am, I shall be.&”

Complexities 2: Various Approaches in the Field of Social and Human Sciences
by Jean-Pierre Briffaut Daniel KrobAwareness of complexity in science and technology dates back to the 1970s. However, all social systems tend to develop structures that become more complex over time, be it within families, tribes, cities, states, or societal and economic organizations. Complexities 2 covers a broad array of fields, from justice and linguistics to education and organizational management. The aim of this book is to show, without aiming to provide a comprehensive overview, the diversity of approaches and behaviors towards the obstacle of complexity in understanding and achieving human actions. When we see complexity as the incompleteness of knowledge and the uncertainty of the future, we realize that simplifying is not an adequate approach to complexity, even in the humanities and social sciences. This book explores the relationship between order and disorder in this field of knowledge.
Complexity and Sustainability in Megaprojects: MeRIT Workshop 2023 (Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering #493)
by Franca Cantoni Edoardo Favari Laura Corazza Ernesto De Nito Primiano Di NautaThis book showcases the discussion about megaprojects carried out at the MeRIT (Megaproject Research Interdisciplinary Team) workshop 2023: the crisis, discontinuity, rising prices, and supply chains disruption force radical reflection for those involved in megaprojects. It raises a modern-day challenge, the creation of value for stakeholders. Indeed, the aim of the volume is to encourage readers to think more broadly, articulately and less stringently than the mainstream claims. There is a need to design, implement, and manage megaprojects by abandoning the old paradigm that leveraged solely on time and cost. We need to move beyond that by going to explore the value generated, the positive impact on people, communities and territories. Economic, social and environmental sustainability takes on a new and broader articulation: issues of the circular economy applied to megaprojects are addressed and ample space is ensured for the inclusion of social needs in current practices.
Complicit: How Our Culture Enables Misbehaving Men
by Reah BravoA thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how women unintentionally condone workplace abuse in a post-#MeToo world—and what we can do to change things for the better. When Reah Bravo began working at the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose&’s conduct towards women didn&’t deter her from pursuing a position she thought could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She considered herself more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned a devastating truth: we don&’t always react to abusive situations as we imagine we will. When we live in a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women hold positions of power, how is it possible that sexual misconduct remains so prevalent? When many employers mandate trainings to prevent harassment of all kinds, why is workplace abuse still so rampant? Weaving her own experience with those of other women and insights from experts, Bravo reveals the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist and dangerous status quo. By bringing these hard truths into the light, Complicit charts an accessible path toward a better future.
Composite Predicates in Late Modern English (Routledge Focus on Linguistics)
by Ljubica LeoneThis volume provides a concise overview of the diachronic development of composite predicates (CPs) in Late Modern English, offering clearer evidence of ongoing language change using data less readily available in other corpora.While previous scholarship on CPs exists from a synchronic perspective, this book is the first to focus exclusively on Late Modern English with a diachronic approach to CPs, understood as phraseological verbs consisting of a verb and a deverbal noun or this combination with a preposition, such as to ask a question or to take hold of. The volume builds on real-life spoken data encompassing the proceedings of the Old Bailey at the Central Criminal Court in London, which predate the invention of audio-recording technology. Leone explores syntactic and semantic changes and the role performed by phenomena associated with grammaticalization, lexicalization and idiomatization in this period from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives.The book sheds light on ongoing processes of change in spoken data, enriching knowledge on language change in this period and offering directions for future research. This book will appeal to scholars in English historical linguistics, syntax and semantics, and language change.
