Winner of the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing and Finalist for the Donner PrizeThe co-author of the internationally bestselling The Rebel Sell brings us "slow politics": promoting slow thought, slow deliberation and slow debate. Over the last twenty years, the political systems of the western world have become increasingly divided-not between right and left but between crazy and non-crazy. What's more, the crazies seem to be gaining the upper hand. Rational thought cannot prevail in the current social and media environment, where elections are won by appealing to voters' hearts rather than their minds. The rapid-fire pace of modern politics, the hypnotic repetition of daily news items and even the multitude of visual sources of information all make it difficult for the voice of reason to be heard. In Enlightenment 2.0, bestselling author Joseph Heath outlines a program for a second Enlightenment. The answer, he argues, lies in a new "slow politics." It takes as its point of departure recent psychological and philosophical research that identifies quite clearly the social and environmental preconditions for the exercise of rational thought. It is impossible to restore sanity merely by being sane and trying to speak in a reasonable tone of voice. The only way to restore sanity is by engaging in collective action against the social conditions that have crowded it out.

In Australia in 1922, novelist DH Lawrence had a number of nightmares that were to haunt his novel, Kangaroo, which he started writing in the coastal village of Thirroul in May, and completed in Taos in America four months later. The most famous one provided a chapter ("The Nightmare") in his Australian novel, touched off by a scarifying encounter with the leader of the secret army Lawrence ran across in Sydney. "It was as if the silvery freedom suddenly turned, and showed the scaly back of a reptile, and the horrible paws", he wrote. Those blood-caked paws were not only the metaphorical extremities of the sinister organisation he had stumbled on in Australia, but the unwelcome attentions of its "bear-like" secret army leader, portrayed in the novel as Benjamin Cooley. For, hidden in the text of Kangaroo, Robert Darroch has discovered a hitherto unrecognised homoerotic encounter that, paradoxically, gives the lie to accusations of homosexual tendencies in probably the 20th-century's most misunderstood author.

FOREWORD BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA AND LUIS A. MIRANDA, JR. The true story of how a group of chefs fed hundreds of thousands of hungry Americans after Hurricane Maria and touched the hearts of many more Chef Jos Andrs arrived in Puerto Rico four days after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island. The economy was destroyed and for most people there was no clean water, no food, no power, no gas, and no way to communicate with the outside world. Andrs addressed the humanitarian crisis the only way he knew how: by feeding people, one hot meal at a time. From serving sancocho with his friend Jos Enrique at Enriques ravaged restaurant in San Juan to eventually cooking 100,000 meals a day at more than a dozen kitchens across the island, Andrs and his team fed hundreds of thousands of people, including with massive paellas made to serve thousands of people alone.. At the same time, they also confronted a crisis with deep roots, as well as the broken and wasteful system that helps keep some of the biggest charities and NGOs in business. Based on Andrss insiders take as well as on meetings, messages, and conversations he had while in Puerto Rico, We Fed an Island movingly describes how a network of community kitchens activated real change and tells an extraordinary story of hope in the face of disasters both natural and man-made, offering suggestions for how to address a crisis like this in the future.Beyond that, aportion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to the Chef Relief Network of World Central Kitchen for efforts in Puerto Rico and beyond.
