They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?

Verdades y leyendas de nuestra historia. Nadie pone en duda que durante tres siglos España dominó el mundo conocido y fue objeto de numerosos embates de todo tipo por parte de potencias rivales, pero ¿cómo se defendió de los ataques de sus enemigos? "Para estas batallas que nos amenazan", explicó don Quijote a Sancho Panza, "menester será estar bien mantenidos". Y España, ciertamente, estaba "bien mantenida": los recursos a los que tenía acceso eran ma­yores que los de cualquier otra nación, ya que no provenían solo de la Península, sino de todos los rincones del planeta.

Cien años perpetuando la Leyenda Negra. El cine bélico surgió en 1898 con motivo de la guerra que Estados Unidos provocó contra España. La prensa, los cineastas y los políticos justificaron esa agresión recurriendo a los clichés de la Leyenda Negra, que ha sido utilizada por Hollywood y el cine británico para perpetuar la vindicación de los continuos ataques anglosajones a España durante siglos para arrebatarle dominios y riquezas.

"Este es el manual de la industria de las relaciones públicas. Bernays es una especie de gurú.

Conocemos las técnicas: modelos y estrellas de cine con cigarrillos en la boca y demás. Consiguió un enorme éxito y se convirtió en una figura destacada y su libro en el auténtico manual"

Polls show that if you ask the average person even the most basic question – ‘Does racism still exist?’ – half the population will say that it does, while the other half will say that it doesn’t. Despite increasingly vocal and polarized opinions on both traditional and social media platforms, as a society we have no more clarity about racism than we did a generation ago. In the ground-breaking The Science of Racism Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades’ worth of clear, factual, rigorous, quantitative science, to reveal truths about racism.

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want.

From neuroscientist Andrew Newberg, Sex, God, and the Brain argues that our religious and spiritual experiences derive directly from our sexual being. While others have speculated on a connection between religion and sex, Newberg is the first to demonstrate that the underlying biological mechanism of religious, spiritual, and sexual experiences are identical.
