The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 raised hopes that we were one step closer to the triumph of liberalism. Soon, many predicted, we would all be living in functional liberal democracies. Sustained economic growth would benefit all segments of society and war would be a relic of the past. A generation later, one can only ask: What happened? Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu argues in this powerful book that liberal democracy flourished when it pursued its core promises of shared prosperity, democratic governance, and the free pursuit of knowledge. But liberalism, a philosophy built to challenge power, never fully adjusted to becoming the establishment. Nor was it able to deal with the economic and social disruptions that digital technologies wrought. Worse, in the postindustrial economy, liberalism turned its back on its core promises. As a segment of college-educated elites became politically dominant and separated from the rest of society, they sowed the seeds of widespread inequality while intensifying efforts to reshape mass culture and values. Acemoglu, using the wide interdisciplinary lens that has won him acclaim, documents the extraordinary, unparalleled progress that liberalism created, and recounts how liberal democratic institutions plunged themselves into crisis over the last several decades. Looking at rapid advances in technology, shifts in regulatory environments, global political history, and economics, Acemoglu lucidly lays out the successes and failures of our most important political system. And he envisions a new way forward, which he calls working-class liberalism: a philosophy that prioritizes shared prosperity, empowers communities, and accommodates a range of values and views.

<b>Three horror icons come together in one indispensable tome-with an introduction by Stephen King.</b><br/><br/> "<i>Within the pages of this volume you will come upon three of the darkest creations of English nineteenth-century literature; three of the darkest in all of English and American literature, many would say...and not without justification...These three creatures, presented together for the first time, all have a great deal in common beyond their power to go on frightening generation after generation of readers...but that fact alone should be considered before all others.</i>"-From the Introduction by Stephen King<br/><br/>A diabolical, bloodthirsty Count draws an unsuspecting young man into a world of terrors. A scientist oversteps the bounds of conscience and brings to life a tortured creation. A man of medicine explores his darker side only to fall prey to it. These three legendary tales have held readers spellbound for more than a century. <br/><br/>The titles alone-<i>Dracula</i>, <i>Frankenstein</i>, and <i>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>-have become synonymous with horror. They are part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. Inventive and subversive, these classic tales of terror can shake even the modern reader with something far more profound than fear....

For the first time, a holistic thesis is presented on the reformation of the runes into the sixteen-rune Younger Futhark of the Viking Age.<br/> <br/> The Runic Reformation is a companion volume to Stav: Runes, Martial Art, Philosophy. It expands the thesis of the main work by offering a concise scholarly analysis of the structure of the Younger Futhark in relation to Stav. All logic and references are presented in an academically transparent manner, allowing readers to assess the thesis independently.<br/> <br/> The central questions of runology are addressed: why the reformed runic script contains precisely sixteen runes? Was linguistics truly the driving factor? what numerological considerations shaped the new system? Why the graphical uniformity? The material is synthesized into the first coherent thesis that treats these questions as a unified structure. The conclusion follows the logic, what academic literature describes as the Younger Futhark and the tradition known as Stav originate in the same deliberate act of creation.<br/> <br/> Those who might disagree are invited to identify weaknesses in the thesis and present a stronger solution to the questions the field of runology has defined.

Learn how to successfully form closer connections to your children, with effective boundaries, so the whole family can thrive. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie has witnessed firsthand how the parenting pendulum has swung from overly strict to overly permissive. Parents often try to take both approaches and end up zigzagging between extremes, creating a power shift that has caused many to lose their grounding. This is part of a pattern she calls 'the over'. Overaccommodating, overexplaining, overfixing, overnegotiating, and even overempathizing have become the new normal, leaving little room for coping, resilience and functionality. <br/><br/><em>You Are the Parent </em>is a reminder that children need their parents alongside them, helping them find and develop their inner skills to face and manage their inner and outer challenges. The key to this is creating safe parameters for children to practise challenges, not avoid them altogether. <br/><br/>Dr Siggie, leading child behavioural and developmental specialist, shares parenting tools that grow alongside your child over the formative years of ages two to seven. She sets her six principles of emotional/behavioural processing, with real-life examples, sample scripts and easy, practical advice on how to apply the highly impactful principles to your parenting style.
