Chaotic Good

Chaotic Good

Isabelle Baafi

FABER FABER
2025
nidottu
POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONA piercing debut about how we are made, how we get lost and how we find new selves.Framed by the story of escape from a toxic marriage, Chaotic Good focuses on the incremental ways in which power accumulates, shifts and is relinquished within both home and community. Incisive, rigorous and artful, Isabelle Baafi reminds us of the importance of self-determination, and how, when we feel most eroded, we might discover what we need deep within ourselves: 'This time and every time, I was the code I needed to find my way back.''With sure formal dexterity and an exciting precision of lyrical imagining, Baafi explores the complicated pathways of suspicion and uncertainty, and - most vitally - the simultaneous possibilities of threat and beauty, mistrust and hope, darkness and joy. The knowing narrative detail is charged as strongly with ideas as with feeling, resulting in a highly original fusion of resistance and compassionate determination.' Jane Draycott'In this wise-hearted and deft debut, Baafi gets to the grain of family, inheritance, the grit of growing up and the grappling to become oneself.' Rachel Long'Isabelle Baafi's Chaotic Good is a debut of amazing endurance. Its formal pressures create a kind of kaleidoscopic intensity that - with each turn of the chamber - brings newly beautiful and painful shapes into focus.' Will Harris'Chaotic Good offers beautiful, urgent poems to remake our breaking world. From the playground all the way to the marriage bed, these redemption songs return to heal and emancipate.' alice hiller

Rad Future

Rad Future

Isabelle Boemeke

RANDOM HOUSE USA INC
2025
sidottu
Science influencer Isabelle Boemeke argues that the world's most elusive, controversial energy source is the only hope for the future of humanity. When most people think of 'nuclear energy, ' they think of the bad stuff: bombs, disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima, and cancer-inducing fallout. But Isabelle Boemeke has found that science contradicts this narrative. Plot twist: turns out nuclear energy is our best option for ensuring the future of the planet. In Rad Future, Boemeke proves that nuclear is not just the most effective form of energy production, it's also the key to unlocking even more important and revolutionary technology. What's more, she shows why nuclear energy is actually safe, and how a negative public image paired with a few highly preventable disasters have led us to fumble the bag on the cleanest, most environmentally friendly and powerful form of energy available to us. In this quirky, fun romp through science and history, she answers all your burning questions about the risks (minimal) and benefits (huge) of increasing our nuclear production to power the whole world. And though wind, solar, and other renewables are part of the equation, nuclear energy is the secret sauce that could finally end our dependence on fossil fuels. We have the tools to make our wildest sci-fi utopia dreams a reality. Rad Future is the first accessible distillation of nuclear energy and it will leave you feeling stoked about what our future could be.

Utpaladeva on the Power of Action

Utpaladeva on the Power of Action

Isabelle Ratié

HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS
2021
sidottu
The Recognition of the Lord (Isvarapratyabhijña) by the Kashmirian Utpaladeva (c. 925–975) is a landmark in the history of nondual Saivism, and one of the masterpieces of Indian philosophy. The detailed commentary (Viv?ti) on it by the author himself was so far considered almost entirely lost, but three chapters of this major work were recently recovered from marginal annotations in manuscripts of other commentaries on Utpaladeva’s treatise. The book provides the first critical edition, annotated translation and study of one of these chapters, which endeavours to justify a fundamental paradox of the system—namely, the idea that Siva (understood as an infinite, omniscient, and omnipotent consciousness) has a dynamic essence since the core of consciousness is a subtle form of action, and yet is by no means limited by the temporal and spatial sequence that affects all ordinary acts and agents.

Thinking with Whitehead

Thinking with Whitehead

Isabelle Stengers; Bruno Latour

Harvard University Press
2014
nidottu
Alfred North Whitehead has never gone out of print, but for a time he was decidedly out of fashion in the English-speaking world. In a splendid work that serves as both introduction and erudite commentary, Isabelle Stengers—one of today’s leading philosophers of science—goes straight to the beating heart of Whitehead’s thought. The product of thirty years’ engagement with the mathematician-philosopher’s entire canon, this volume establishes Whitehead as a daring thinker on par with Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Michel Foucault.Reading the texts in broadly chronological order while highlighting major works, Stengers deftly unpacks Whitehead’s often complicated language, explaining the seismic shifts in his thinking and showing how he called into question all that philosophers had considered settled after Descartes and Kant. She demonstrates that the implications of Whitehead’s philosophical theories and specialized knowledge of the various sciences come yoked with his innovative, revisionist take on God. Whitehead’s God exists within a specific epistemological realm created by a radically complex and often highly mathematical language.“To think with Whitehead today,” Stengers writes, “means to sign on in advance to an adventure that will leave none of the terms we normally use as they were.”
