Ich, Es und Übermut? Freud ist unbestritten eine der zentralen Figuren unserer modernen Kultur. Aber immer noch ist sein Werk Thema heftiger Kontroversen, wissenschaftlicher Debatten und Ziel vielerlei Verdächtigungen und Beschimpfungen. Lebte er heute, wäre schon mancher Shitstorm über ihn hinweggefegt: Freuds Theorie sei durch die lange Ausbildung eine Geheimwissenschaft, eine elitäre Verstehenskunst, die selbsterfüllende Prophezeiungen produziert und weit entfernt von naturwissenschaftlicher Methodik ist. Und Freud als Person sei ein sexbesessener Quacksalber, drogensüchtig, ein Schamane, der kollektive Wahnvorstellung losgetreten hat. Dieser Infocomic untersucht alle diese Vorwürfe, denn darunter ist zwar viel Bösartiges aber sicher auch Bedenkenswertes.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, an incident takes place in a North London park. Chris is accidentally bitten by an excited dog, and aims a defensive kick at it. The owner, well-known polemicist Ivan Grubb, takes to his blog to express his outrage, spinning the story to sit happily within his own narrative. When Ivan and Chris relate the event to their children, they are surprised and confused by the strength of feeling their reactions have provoked. The Park is a delicate examination of how anger, repression and powerlessness can overwhelm even the most logical and well-intentioned person in a confusing modern world.

The perfect introduction to this exciting new field which draws on evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology, as well as anthropology, primatology and archaeology.

How did the mind evolve? How does the human mind differ from the minds of our ancestors, and from the minds of our nearest relatives, the apes? What are the universal features of the human mind, and why are they designed the way they are? If our minds are built by selfish genes, why are we so cooperative? Can the differences between male and female psychology be explained in evolutionary terms? These questions are at the centre of a rapidly growing research program called evolutionary psychology.

Was Marx himself a "Marxist"? Was his visionary promise of socialism betrayed by Marxist dictatorship? Is Marxism inevitably totalitarian? What did Marx really say? "Introducing Marxism" provides a fundamental account of Karl Marx's original philosophy, its roots in 19th century European ideology, his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th century revolutions. It assesses Marxism's Russian disciples, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin who forged a ruthless dogmatic Communism. The book examines the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism of Althusser in the 1960s. It marshals postmodern interpretations of Marxism and raises the spectre of "post-Marxism" in Derrida's confrontation with Fukuyama's "end of history" doctrine.

Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. "Introducing Quantum Theory" takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr's "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.

Moore and Zarate collaborate on a graphic novel full of irony and tension. Adman Timothy Hole is about to get a crack at the the big one: selling the diet drink sensation Flite to the U.S.S.R. Except someone wants him dead. Little murders, tiny betrayals, the small homicides with which we ease the passage of our lives -- these are the stuff of A Small Killing.
