Het is een vreemde paradox. Onze moderne westerse maatschappij is veiliger dan ooit en toch zijn we banger dan ooit. Op allerlei manieren proberen we dreigingen en onzekerheden uit te bannen, of het nu gaat om de opslag van CO2 in de grond, kindermisbruik, islamitisch fundamentalisme, de klimaatverandering of financiële crises. Risico’s zijn onaanvaardbaar geworden, en daarom verlangen we van de overheid dat zij alles wat in de toekomst ooit mis zou kunnen gaan, nu al voorkomt. In dit boek laat Ulrich Beck zien hoe deze paradox is ontstaan en tot welke ingrijpende gevolgen deze angst voor risico’s kan leiden. Want die angst wordt wereldwijd geëxploiteerd en tast onze individuele vrijheid aan. Hij pleit voor een transparante zakelijke politiek, die voorkomt dat men vanuit een collectieve angst de vrijheid van burgers inwisselt voor een vals gevoel van zekerheid. Ulrich Beck stelde dit onderwerp al bijna 30 jaar geleden aan de orde. Dit boek is een geheel geactualiseerde en uitgebreide versie van zijn publicaties uit die tijd.

Pulitzer Prize–winning literary critic Michiko Kakutani shares 100 personal, thought-provoking essays about books that have mattered to her and that help illuminate the world we live in today—with beautiful illustrations throughout. “A book tailormade for bibliophiles.”—Oprah Winfrey “An ebullient celebration of books and reading.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) In the introduction to her new collection of essays, Ex Libris: 100+ Books to Read and Reread, Michiko Kakutani writes: “In a world riven by political and social divisions, literature can connect people across time zones and zip codes, across cultures and religions, national boundaries and historical eras. It can give us an understanding of lives very different from our own, and a sense of the shared joys and losses of human experience.” Readers will discover novels and memoirs by some of the most gifted writers working today; favorite classics worth reading or rereading; and nonfiction works, both old and new, that illuminate our social and political landscape and some of today’s most pressing issues, from climate change to medicine to the consequences of digital innovation. There are essential works in American history (The Federalist Papers, The Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.); books that address timely cultural dynamics (Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, Daniel J. Boorstin’s The Image, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale); classics of children’s literature (the Harry Potter novels, Where the Wild Things Are); and novels by acclaimed contemporary writers like Don DeLillo, William Gibson, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Ian McEwan. With richly detailed illustrations by lettering artist Dana Tanamachi that evoke vintage bookplates, Ex Libris is an impassioned reminder of why reading matters more than ever.

Twenty years ago Ulrich Beck published Risk Society, a book that called our attention to the dangers of environmental catastrophes and changed the way we think about contemporary societies. During the last two decades, the dangers highlighted by Beck have taken on new forms and assumed ever greater significance. Terrorism has shifted to a global arena, financial crises have produced worldwide consequences that are difficult to control and politicians have been forced to accept that climate change is not idle speculation. In short, we have come to see that today we live in a world at risk. A new feature of our world risk society is that risk is produced for political gain. This political use of risk means that fear creeps into modern life. A need for security encroaches on our liberty and our view of equality. However, Beck is anything but an alarmist and believes that the anticipation of catastrophe can fundamentally change global politics. We have the opportunity today to reconfigure power in terms of what Beck calls a 'cosmopolitan material politics’. World at Risk is a timely and far-reaching analysis of the structural dynamics of the modern world, the global nature of risk and the future of global politics by one of the most original and exciting social thinkers writing today.
