Tragedy in South Lebanon
Through history, research, and personal interviews, Cathy Sultan chronicles life in southern Lebanon and northern Israel during the brutal 2006 war. Centering ordinary people trapped by the decisions of Israel, Lebanon, and the United States, she depicts the lasting contamination of cluster bombs, the factional politics keeping Lebanon on the edge, and flashpoints from Shebaa Farms to militant-held refugee camps. Sultan also critiques media narratives, debunks regional myths, and provides timelines and maps.

From Primates to Politicians
From Primates to Politicians traces politics to its atavistic roots in human evolution, explaining how survival instincts, status competition, and resource struggle shape modern behavior. Juan Manuel Muñoz examines politics as a marketplace dominated by economic elites and political marketing—an arena of distortion we’ve learned to tolerate. In three parts, he surveys primatology, evolution, and power relations; unpacks the evolution of societies and the foundations of conservatism and liberalism; and presents an “evolutionary theory of politics,” applying it to current events and global forecasts.
