Exploring the struggles of liberal democracy in Europe, the authors advocate for a revitalized form of Liberalism that embraces its radical roots. They envision a decisive approach that fosters an open society, moving away from bureaucratic governance to one that encourages grassroots challenges. By intertwining historical context with contemporary cultural shifts, the book presents a compelling case for a stronger, more assertive Liberalism. It appeals to readers across the political spectrum who are invested in the future of European liberal democracy amidst rising extremism.

Making a quiet and cautiously hopeful statement about environmental protection, this spellbinding collection of photographs does not bombard readers with visual imagery or urgent calls for alarm. Instead it celebrates the ability of nature—all by itself—to enthrall and engage human sympathies. The photographs include many views of wildlife and wilderness, as well as scenes of human activity, and simple pieces of short commentary complement the images. A remarkable black-and-white portrait of a polar bear against a dark background is accompanied by a few sober sentences about its proposed listing as a threatened species, and a great picture of New York City and is used to paise the efficiency of high density: Manhattan uses less energy per capita than anywhere else in the United States. A resource section listing websites for organizations, green living, and environmental news and opinion is also included.

A fascinating insight into the influence that politics has upon business practices and consumer behaviour - and what businesses can do to tackle the growing divide between business and politics.
