Beliefs, superstitions and tales about luck are present across all human cultures, according to anthropologists. We are perennially fascinated by luck and by its association with happiness and danger, uncertainty and aspiration. Yet it remains an elusive, ungraspable idea, one that slips and slides over time: all cultures reimagine what luck is and how to tame it at different stages in their history, and the modernity of the 'long twentieth century' is no exception to the rule. Apparently overshadowed by more conceptually tight, scientific and characteristically modern notions such as chance, contingency, probability or randomness, luck nevertheless persists in all its messiness and vitality, used in our everyday language and the subject of studies by everyone from philosophers to psychologists, economists to self-help gurus. Modern Luck sets out to explore the enigma of luck's presence in modernity, examining the hybrid forms it has taken on in the modern imagination, and in particular in the field of modern stories. Indeed, it argues that modern luck is constituted through narrative, through modern luck stories. Analysing a rich and unusually eclectic range of narrative taken from literature, film, music, television and theatre - from Dostoevsky to Philip K. Dick, from Pinocchio to Cimino, from Curtiz to Kieślowski - it lays out first the usages and meanings of the language of luck, and then the key figures, patterns and motifs that govern the stories told about it, from the late nineteenth century to the present day.

Why is it getting harder to secure a job that matches our qualifications, buy a home of our own and achieve financial stability? Underprivileged people have always faced barriers, but people from middle-income families are increasingly more likely to slide down the social scale than climb up. Duncan Exley, former Director of the Equality Trust, draws on expert research and real life experiences - including from an actor, a politician, a billionaire entrepreneur and a surgeon - to issue a wake-up call to break through segregated opportunity. He offers a manifesto to reboot our prospects and benefit all.

Das Thema Generation erfährt seit den 1990er Jahren sowohl in Pädagogik wie auch in Philosophie eine deutliche Wiederbelebung. Gegenläufig zur weit verbreiteten Auffassung geht die Pädagogik der Aufklärung nicht in Individualpädagogik auf. »Generationelle Pädagogik« steht für den Versuch, das aufkeimende solidarische Versprechen »Bildung für alle« auch in den Dimensionen menschlichen Lebens einzulösen, die die Lebensspanne und den Lebensraum einzelner Menschen übersteigen. Unter den Vorzeichen vorbehaltloser Mitmenschlichkeit ist Pädagogik bis heute zur generationen-ethischen Konzeption von Menschheitsgeschichte aufgerufen. Im Zeitalter von Klimawandel und fortgesetzter technologischer Zivilisation entsteht der Gedanke einer »Bildung für Nachhaltigkeit«, der sich geschichts-philosophisch nicht mehr aus Zukunftsoptimismus speisen kann. Damit zwischen Generationen Gerechtigkeit walten kann, gilt es über die Idee einer Generationellen Pädagogik, die heute an der Zeit ist, aufzuklären.
