More than just a story about survival, the book is an uncomfortable mirror held up to human nature itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A group of British boys finds itself stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, with no adults around. Far from the rules of society, what begins as an idyllic adventure quickly turns into a nightmare. Golding uses the theoretical innocence of childhood to show that the impulses of power, cruelty and survival are not exclusive to adults; they are rooted in human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At just over two hundred pages, \"Lord of the Flies\" is a literary punch to the gut. It is a tense, symbolic and terrifyingly relevant book that you read in one sitting, but which continues to echo in your mind for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruno-Futre.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruno-Futre.webp 190w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruno-Futre-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruno-Futre-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Clash-of-Civilizations-and-the-Remaking-of-World-Order.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71157\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Clash-of-Civilizations-and-the-Remaking-of-World-Order.jpeg 361w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Clash-of-Civilizations-and-the-Remaking-of-World-Order-195x300.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Clash-of-Civilizations-and-the-Remaking-of-World-Order-8x12.jpeg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong><em>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order<\/em>, by Samuel P.

Cipolla <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is an excellent lesson on humanity and the way it behaves, and it may be a lesson that will stay with you for a lifetime. Since Cipolla is an economist and a university professor, his \u201cTreatise\u201d is a highly satirical way of teaching us a lesson about stupidity: \u201cA stupid person is the most dangerous kind of person. [\u2026] A stupid person is more dangerous than a criminal\u201d. Thus, in addition to reading an entertaining treatise and reflecting on the harm a stupid person can cause, it also ensures our personal defence against this plague of stupidity. After all, let\u2019s not forget that the percentage of stupid people in any society is independent of the social group in question \u2014 including that of a higher education faculty\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joao-Duque.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joao-Duque.webp 191w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joao-Duque-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joao-Duque-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-11 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"359\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71229\" style=\"width:221px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-1.jpeg 359w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-1-193x300.jpeg 193w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-1-8x12.jpeg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Corporate Rebels: Make Work More Fun, by Joost Minnaar and Pim de Morree<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book provides an excellent historical perspective on financial crises \u2014 their specific characteristics, but above all their common causes and consequences \u2014 thereby dispelling myths about economic or technological developments that might be used to justify periods of exuberance in financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Barros-Luis.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Barros-Luis.webp 191w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Barros-Luis-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Barros-Luis-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-12 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"336\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-of-organization.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71156\" style=\"width:229px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-of-organization.jpeg 336w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-of-organization-202x300.jpeg 202w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/images-of-organization-8x12.jpeg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong><em>Images of Organizations<\/em>, by G. Morgan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an essential book for understanding, analysing and reflecting on organisations and the structure of the world of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The British\/Canadian author encourages us to think about human organisations in a multidimensional way, using the concept of metaphors or images. This allows managers to expand their ability to interpret complex situations and create new ways of thinking and acting within organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book demonstrates that no single metaphor \u2014 whether it involves thinking of an organization as a machine, an organism, or a brain \u2014 is sufficient on its own. In organisational environments that are increasingly ambiguous, turbulent and shaped by digitalisation, human analytical ability is essential for understanding where we are and where we are headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Gomes.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Gomes.webp 191w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Gomes-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jorge-Gomes-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-13 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"359\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopping.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71243\" style=\"width:220px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopping.jpeg 359w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopping-194x300.jpeg 194w, https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopping-8x12.jpeg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do humans dominate the planet?

This reflection by Tony Judt, a British historian who died too young, is not only accessible but also essential reading for anyone concerned about the shrinking scope of good politics,\u00a0where the discussion and pursuit of diverse conceptions of justice should thrive, rather than the expansion of the economic sphere, to the point where everything \u2014 or almost everything \u2014 is subordinated to it.
