As government offices, corporations, and campuses dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs amid intensifying political backlash, a new book from Yale University Press argues that public debate has lost sight of DEI’s origins. In The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea, Berkeley Law Professor David B. Oppenheimer reconstructs the two-century history of diversity as an intellectual and institutional principle, one rooted in the origins of the modern research university, the development of free speech doctrine, and the science of decision making.

There is a peculiar discomfort that arises when intelligent, serious people — scientists, military officers, intelligence analysts — claim to have witnessed something that should not be possible. The instinct, especially for those trained in rational inquiry, is to reach for an explanation that makes the problem go away: fraud, self-deception, wishful thinking. And sometimes that instinct is correct. But sometimes the discomfort itself is the most important data point.

When did silence become acceptable in the face of what we know is wrong? And how did we become a nation that looks away instead of speaking up? This is not a political argument. This is a moral confrontation. This letter cuts through distraction, challenges complacency, and forces the reader to examine not just leadership, ...

Modern cities are the most complex and fragile structures ever built. A single power failure can cascade into chaos. A single pandemic can turn density into a death sentence. A single metre of sea-level rise can displace hundreds of millions. But for the first time in ten thousand years, there is an alternative. THE LAST CITY describes a civilisation in which every home generates its own energy, harvests its own water, grows a portion of its own food, recycles its own waste, monitors its own health, and connects to the world by satellite.
