Où en sommes-nous ? De l'émergence d'homo sapiens à nos jours, cette brève histoire de l'humanité est tournée vers l'intelligence du monde tel qu'il se recompose sous nos yeux. Or, c'est dans les profondeurs les moins conscientes de la vie sociale que gît l'explication de ce qui nous apparaît aujourd'hui comme le grand désordre du monde. Il faut saisir la dynamique de longue durée des systèmes familiaux, l'articulation de ces systèmes avec la religion et l'idéologie, explorer les ruptures induites par le progrès éducatif pour comprendre la divergence des nations avancées : le paradoxe d'un homo americanus simultanément innovateur et archaïque, le phénomène Trump, le manque de réalisme allemand et chinois, l'efficacité russe, la renonciation japonaise, les récentes métamorphoses de l'Europe et le Brexit. Cette revisitation magistrale de l'histoire de l'humanité nous permet finalement d'apercevoir avec lucidité ce qui nous attend demain.

This volume is unique in the literature concerning both the sociology of education and Tibetan society. It aims to propose a Tibetan sociology of education, something that no other author has attempted, as well as to provide insights into the nature of Tibetan society both historically and currently through the application of Giddens'structuration theory supplemented by the work of ancient Tibetan philosopher Je TsongKhapa. Previous Western accounts of Tibetan history and society have lacked “insider” perspectives as well as access to original documentation in the Tibetan language. The author of this volume is Tibetan and does not experience these limitations. He has also taught sociology at the university level and in 1999 published a general textbook on sociology in Tibetan, which attempted to draw on Western theories and apply them to the Tibetan context. In short, the author appears to be highly credible in taking on this extremely ambitious project.

'Normal Rationality' is a selection of the most important work of Edna Ullmann-Margalit, presenting some influential and widely admired essays alongside some that are not well known. She was an unorthodox and deeply original philosopher whose work illuminated the largest mysteries of human life. Much of her writing focuses on two fundamental questions: How do people proceed when they cannot act on the basis of reasons, or project likely consequences? How is social order possible? Ullmann-Margalit's answers, emphasising what might be called biased rationality, are important not only for philosophy, but also for political science, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, economics (including behavioural economics), law, and even public policy.

In times of climate change and public debt, a concern for intergenerational justice should lead us to have a closer look at theories of intergenerational justice. It should also press us to provide institutional design proposals to change the decision-making world that surrounds us. The work provides an exhaustive overview of the most important institutional proposals as well as a systematic and theoretical discussion of their respective features and advantages.

The publication of the Poverty Commission's Law and Poverty in Australia Report (the Sackville Report) in 1975 was a landmark event in the history of Australian law reform. Since that time, and as Australia has become a more unequal society, there has been no systematic overview of the inter-relation between law and poverty in Australia. This book attempts to fill the gap by bringing together a range of experts from civil society, the legal profession and academe, including the disciplines of law, social science and criminology.
