"Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex."
Outrageous and violent, SCUM Manifesto was widely lambasted when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. In fact, the work has proved prescient, not only as a radical feminist analysis light years ahead of its time-predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against underrepresentation in the arts-but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman.
In this edition, philosopher Avital Ronell's introduction reconsiders the evocative exuberance of this infamous text.
"During the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called Warre" Written during the turmoil of the English Civil War, Leviathan is an ambitious and highly original work of political philosophy. Claiming that man's essential nature is competitive and selfish, Hobbes formulates the case for a powerful sovereign--or "Leviathan"--to enforce peace and the law, substituting security for the anarchic freedom he believed human beings would otherwise experience. This worldview shocked many of Hobbes's contemporaries, and his work was publicly burnt for sedition and blasphemy when it was first published. But in his rejection of Aristotle's view of man as a naturally social being, and in his painstaking analysis of the ways in which society can and should function, Hobbes opened up a whole new world of political science. Based on the original 1651 text, this edition incorporates Hobbes's own corrections, while also retaining the original spelling and punctuation, to read with vividness and clarity. C. B. Macpherson's introduction elucidates one of the most fascinating works of modern philosophy for the general reader.

100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.

**FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER SAPIENS** Sapiens showed us where we came from. Homo Deus looked to the future. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century explores the present.
How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari takes us on a thrilling journey through today's most urgent issues. The golden thread running through his exhilarating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of constant and disorienting change. Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?
Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born. 'The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied' The New York Times
Par la protection de la puissante famille des Médicis, grâce à une multitude d'oeuvres profanes et religieuses et à ses contributions à la célèbre chapelle Sixtine, Sandro Botticelli (1444/1445-1510) était bien placé pour devenir célèbre. Pourtant, après sa mort, son oeuvre tomba pendant près de 400 ans dans l'oubli. Ce n'est qu'à partir du XIXe siècle que le peintre commença à gagner les faveurs des historiens de l'art.
Aujourd'hui, Botticelli est salué comme une figure déterminante des débuts de la Renaissance florentine. Ses oeuvres profanes, La Naissance de Vénus et Primavera, considérée comme une allégorie du printemps, figurent parmi les peintures les plus reconnues au monde, brillant par la finesse de leur détail, leurs lignes gracieuses et leur agencement équilibré. Ses compositions sont aussi fluides qu'ordonnées, ses personnages sont autant sereins que sensuels. En particulier, Vénus est l'icône de la beauté en histoire de l'art avec son teint pâle, sa délicatesse, sa douceur promesse de fécondité.
En présentant les oeuvres clé de Botticelli, cette introduction incontournable éclaire la face cachée de cette légende de la Renaissance. À travers les scènes mythologiques et les allégories les plus connues du peintre, sans oublier ses peintures religieuses rayonnantes, on explore sa maîtrise de la figuration, du mouvement et de la ligne, qui n'a cessé d'inspirer les artistes, d'Edgar Degas à Andy Warhol, de René Magritte à Cindy Sherman.
Ce panorama du monde anglo-saxon se présente sous la forme de 62 fiches.
