Ytringsfriheden er blevet hyldet som den ”første frihed”, fundamentet for demokratiet og et værn mod tyranniets fjende, der åbner porten mod oplysningen. Begrebet er samtidig genstand for mange kontroverser, der udfordrer og kan synes kontraintuitiv, særligt i krisetider. Rundt omkring i verdenen – både i demokratier og autoritære stater – har ytringsfriheden trange kår.Ytringsfrihed – fra Sokrates til sociale medier går forfatteren og samfundsdebattøren Jacob Mchangama historisk til værks for at vise, hvordan ytringsfrihedens juridiske, politiske og kulturelle historie hænger nøje sammen med de fænomener, som vi er vidne til i dag. Ønsket om at sikre og kæmpe for ytringsfriheden har desværre også altid gået hånd i hånd med ønsket om at begrænse den: hver gang man søger at underordne ytringsfriheden andre hensyn og værdier, efterfølges den altid af censur og lignende foranstaltninger. Bogen viser på overbevisende måde, hvordan selv ytringsfrihedens forkæmpere kan føle sig fristede til at begrænse den, når modstridende stemmer udfordrer magt og privilegier.I bogen møder vi stemmerne fra antikkens talere til digitale aktivister, hvor forfatteren ikke blot demonstrerer, hvordan den intellektuelle og videnskabelige historie har været betinget af modige forkæmpere, der turde at stille spørgsmålstegn ved den gældende ortodoksi, men også hvordan ytringsfriheden har været medvirkende til at fremme frihed og lighed på verdensplan.

Retten til at tænke og tale frit om religiøse forhold er en konstant kilde til konflikter og magtkampe i international politik og i FN-systemet, hvor menneskerettighedernes indhold og betydning altid er til forhandling. Den historie kaster Kampen om ytringsfriheden lys over. Mandag den 30. november i 2009 udgår en mail fra det amerikanske udenrigsministerium til en række udvalgte amerikanske ambassader over hele kloden. Mailen handler om, at ytringsfriheden er under pres i FN-systemet. At retten til at kommunikere frit om religiøse anliggender er truet af visse muslimske stater, som forsøger at indføre et nyt, globalt forbud imod blasfemiske eller ”religionskrænkende” ytringer. Instruksen er, at disse bestræbelser skal stoppes. Og de skal stoppes nu. Mailen fra Washington er begyndelsen på en hæsblæsende politisk magtkamp i det diplomatiske maskineri i FN-systemet. Endnu et kapitel i en global værdikamp, som dybest set handler om ytringsfrihedens grænser og religionens rolle i det 21. århundrede. En konflikt, som hvert år udkæmpes af stater og statslige diplomater, og som bliver stadig mere aktuel i en digital tidsalder. Men spændingerne mellem religion, blasfemi og ytringsfrihed har været en del af FN’s historie helt fra begyndelsen. Gennem nye data, historisk arkivmateriale, feltarbejde og interviews med centrale diplomater fra hele verden giver denne bog et nyt og anderledes indblik i, hvordan retten til at kommunikere frit om religiøse forhold har været en konstant kilde til konflikter i international politik og i FN-systemet. Og bogen viser, at udfaldet af den globale værdikamp har konsekvenser for virkelige mennesker derude i den virkelige verden.

Melodrama, biography, cold war thriller, drug memoir, essay in fragments, mystery - Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors is cult critic Ian Penman's long awaited first original book.

"This revolutionary book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and how to harness its virtually limitless power. As Dr. Marian explains, while you may well think you speak only one language, in fact your mind accommodates multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in math. The human brain is built to use multiple languages, and using more languages opens doors to creativity, brain health, and cognitive control. Every new language we speak shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. Language is an invaluable tool for organizing, processing, and structuring information, and thereby unleashing radical advancement. Learning a new language has broad lifetime consequences, and Dr. Marian reviews research showing that it: Improves executive function-our ability to focus on the things that matter and ignore the things that don't; Results in higher scores on creative-thinking tasks; Develops critical reasoning skills; Delays Alzheimer's and other types of dementia by four to six years; Improves decisions made under emotional duress; Changes what we see, pay attention to, and recall"--

The official report and findings of the bipartisan Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and Donald Trump's related coup conspiracies to overthrow the election, with an original foreword by attorney and Emmy-winning MSNBC anchor Ari Melber.Only the entire, authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection. This definitive edition features: • The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection• New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber• The definitive accounting of Donald Trump's efforts to end American democracy This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump's plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a ?riot? that exploded in a ?single day? -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt.In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to ?override? the election on the floor of Congress?an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise.This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.

When his father begins to speak of shame and sacrifice, when his home is no longer his own? How will he find space for himself: a place where he can feel beautiful, a place he might feel free?Set over the course of three summers in Stephen's life, from London to Ghana and back again, Small Worlds is an exhilarating and expansive novel about the worlds we build for ourselves, the worlds we live, dance and love within.

"Have you ever had something stuck in your head? After a session in the VR booth at the Mega Pizzaplex Kai can't shake the feeling that the tiger animatronic has somehow stayed with him. A new attraction at the Mega Pizzaplex leaves Kane's mind full of intrusive thoughts that are not his own. And Danny's idea to get the attention of his high school crush comes with unimaginable consequences. But in the world of Five nights at Freddy's truth is often scarier than fiction"--

Five Nights at Freddy's fans won't want to miss this collection of three chilling stories that will haunt even the bravest player.

When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: 'Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far'. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks's earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels - sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.With unbridled honesty and humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions - bodybuilding, weightlifting, and swimming - also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual, his guilt over leaving his family to come to America, his bond with his schizophrenic brother, and the writers and scientists - Thom Gunn, A. R. Luria, W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick - who influenced him.On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer - and of the man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
