Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita.Per questo rimaniamo indifferenti, o paralizzati: la stessa reazione che suscitò Jan Karski, il "testimone inascoltato", quando cercò di svelare l'orrore dell'Olocausto e non fu creduto. In tempo di guerra, veniva chiesto ai cittadini di contribuire allo sforzo bellico: ma qual è il confine tra rinuncia e sacrificio, quando in gioco c'è la nostra sopravvivenza, o la sopravvivenza dei nostri figli? E quali sono le rinunce necessarie, adesso, per salvare un mondo ormai trasformato in una immensa fattoria a cielo aperto?Nel suo nuovo audiolibro, Jonathan Safran Foer mette in campo tutte le sue risorse di scrittore per raccontare, con straordinario impatto emotivo, la crisi climatica che è anche "crisi della nostra capacità di credere", mescolando in modo originalissimo storie di famiglia, ricordi personali, episodi biblici, dati scientifici rigorosi e suggestioni futuristiche. Un audiolibro unico, che parte dalla volontà di "convincere degli sconosciuti a fare qualcosa" e termina con un messaggio rivolto ai figli, ai quali ciascun genitore - non solo a parole, ma con le proprie scelte - spera di riuscire a insegnare "la differenza tra correre verso la morte, correre per sfuggire alla morte e correre verso la vita".

Possiamo salvare il mondo, prima di cena

"Questo libro raccoglie alcune cose che ho imparato in tanti anni di professione, di incontri, di esperienze, di libri letti e scritti, di speranze e delusioni..." Così Piero Angela riassume e spiega la sua ultima fatica, un testo scritto di getto e nato dall'urgenza del momento, e dalle enormi sfide che ci attendono. Un lascito morale, dopo una lunghissima carriera al servizio dell'informazione e della formazione di generazioni di italiani. "Com'è possibile" si chiede in queste pagine "che un paese come l'Italia, che ha marcato profondamente per secoli il cammino della civiltà, oggi sia così in difficoltà, e abbia perso le sue luci?" La risposta è in dieci semplici capitoli, dieci aree critiche su cui occorre agire. Per oltre cinquant'anni Piero Angela si è occupato a tempo pieno di scienza, tecnologia, ambiente, informazione, energia, televisione, comportamenti, e ha scritto Dieci cose che ho imparato per condividere con i lettori alcune proposte, frutto della sua lunga esperienza sul campo. Con questo libro, a cui ha lavorato fino all'ultimo, colui che è stato per tutti il volto rassicurante della scienza ha voluto dirci come usarla per migliorare le cose. Per rilanciare l'Italia con una nuova visione.

Dieci cose che ho imparato

New York Times Bestseller ""There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” —Lisa Taddeo, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Three Women “Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.

Everything I Know About Love

Amare non significa possedere in maniera esclusiva, limitare la libertà del partner o escludersi dalla vita del mondo; al contrario l'amore può aprirsi all'intero universo, spalancando inattese prospettive. Un trattato sull'amore che insegna a sviluppare la propria personalità e raggiungere la pienezza affettiva.

In una cittadina del profondo Sud degli Stati Uniti, l’onesto avvocato Atticus Finch è incaricato della difesa d’ufficio di un “negro” accusato di violenza carnale; riuscirà a dimostrarne l’innocenza, ma l’uomo sarà ugualmente condannato a morte. La vicenda è raccontata dalla piccola Scout, la figlia di Atticus, testimone e protagonista di fatti che nella loro atrocità e violenza non riescono mai a essere più grandi di lei. Il buio oltre la siepe è il romanzo consigliato da Barack Obama contro ogni razzismo e discriminazione.

Il buio oltre la siepe

Quando noi italiani pensiamo alla nazione che vorremmo diventare, cosa ci viene in mente? Probabilmente vorremmo avere un'economia in grande crescita e la piena occupazione: un paese in cui chiunque voglia lavorare possa farlo. Vorremmo avere le migliori università del pianeta e bellezze naturali adeguatamente valorizzate, prodotti culturali dall'influenza globale e la possibilità di definire «made in Italy» non solo un paio di scarpe ma anche un'app capace di costruire il futuro e un'idea che sappia cambiare il mondo. Vorremmo essere il posto ideale per chiunque voglia realizzare i propri sogni, per chiunque abbia un progetto e cerchi le condizioni ideali per trasformarlo in realtà, e magari anche avere una classe dirigente progressista, sensibile, accogliente. Insomma, vorremmo essere un po' più come la California, che infatti da secoli è considerata la «fine del mondo»: un paradiso di tolleranza, prosperità e paesaggi spettacolari, la terra promessa, la più pura incarnazione del sogno americano. Eppure, in California qualcosa si è inceppato, tanto che da anni le persone che la lasciano sono più di quelle che vi arrivano, e dall'ultimo censimento la sua popolazione risulta per la prima volta diminuita. Niente di tutto questo dovrebbe accadere, in teoria. Salvo in caso di guerre e catastrofi naturali, nella nostra epoca i movimenti migratori seguono direzioni segnate dall'economia e dall'occupazione: le persone vanno via dai posti che offrono meno opportunità per raggiungere posti che ne offrono di più. Quella della California è una crisi unica al mondo, ma l'acuta analisi di Francesco Costa ci mostra che le sue ragioni non sono esclusivamente californiane: cominciamo a riscontrarle anche dalle nostre parti. Le città come unici possibili centri propulsivi della crescita economica. La qualità della vita distrutta dai prezzi delle case. Un radicalismo politico infantile. La divaricazione del mercato del lavoro fra chi possiede un'istruzione di alto livello e chi no. Le discriminazioni razziali. La catastrofe climatica. L'attivismo performativo. Le crescenti diseguaglianze fra generazioni. La crisi della California ci costringe a interrogarci sulla realtà che ci circonda e ci invita a stare attenti a ciò che desideriamo, perché potremmo ottenerlo.

Almost everyone is doing it. Aimlessly scrolling through their social media feeds. From presidents to the postmen, most people you know and probably even yourself. Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace. Why is it that the screen sometimes seems more important than looking up and being present in real life? And what does it mean that more and more people are turning into so-called "Scroll Zombies"? Sven Rollenhagen thoughtfully discusses social media use and how it affects us both psychologically and physically. How the rise of social media has created an onslaught of mental health problems in young people. And how withdrawal can lead to symptoms, not unlike those caused by more familiar dependencies such as drugs and alcohol. But, are we really addicted? And if so, how can we be cured? Rollenhagen does not advocate for throwing away your phone or logging off Instagram forever, he acknowledges the powerful connection that social media has in connecting friends, family and strangers across the globe. Instead, this book contains practical tips and solutions for kicking dependency and finding true digital balance. Sven Rollenhagen is a social worker specialising in the digital ad-diction of video games, social media and mobile phones. He works as a councellor, lecturer and writer in these fields. Sven’s strength as an expert in digital issues is that he is in touch with reality – as a councellor and lecturer for families and schools. He is also a friend of technology, plays online and is a frequent user of social media. Sven is based in Sweden but has clients all over the world

Scroll Zombies: How Social Media Addiction Controls our Lives

From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay. Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

The Will to Change

“One of those life-changing reads that makes you see—or, in this case, hear—the whole world differently.” —Megan Angelo, author of Followers “At times chilling, often funny, and always perceptive and cogent, Cultish is a bracing reminder that the scariest thing about cults is that you don't realize you're in one till it's too late.”—Refinery29.com The New York Times-bestselling author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how “cultish” groups, from Jonestown and Scientologists to SoulCycle and social media gurus, use language as the ultimate form of power. What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . . Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day. Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.

L’audiolibro contiene scene di violenza che potrebbero urtare un pubblico sensibile. Tutte le persone di cui si parla nelle scene di violenza descritte in queste pagine sono state realmente aggredite e malmenate, in un passato così scabroso e delirante da non poter essere rievocato che in forma romanzata, in un libro che porta all'estremo l'autofiction letteraria italiana. Sono cresciuti insieme, Patrizio, Angelo e Andrea. Sfrontati rampolli della "Romabene", vissuti nella consapevolezza di avere il diritto, sempre e comunque, di soddisfare i propri desideri. Figli modello di magistrati, professori e medici, sono teppisti, fascisti e psicopatici: praticano - con meticolosa e sistematica ferocia - atti di violenza su vittime indifese, quasi sempre scelte a caso. Risse, aggressioni, pestaggi. Sangue. Sangue su zigomi, mani e asfalto. Immacolate soltanto le camicie su misura (bianche o celesti, button down, cotone egiziano ritorto con cuciture doppie all'inglese), sacre per loro come le vacche per gli indiani. Ragazzi legati da un vincolo d'amicizia e di complicità che pare indissolubile ma che un'estate, ubriachi dopo la discoteca, un incidente rischia di compromettere per sempre: l'auto esce di strada tra il Circeo e l'Argentario, restando in bilico aggrappata a una roccia. Anni di feste, discoteche, stadio, trasferte, cori, risse e braccia tese - anni di vita condivisa - non bastano a farli restare uniti in una situazione che si aggrava col passare dei minuti. Pagine travolgenti. L'urlo di rabbia di ragazzi intrappolati nel silenzio di famiglie benestanti, tenute insieme da sorrisi di facciata. Anatomia di una generazione di psycopariolini. Una narrazione potente e maleducata che ha il coraggio di affrontare la violenza a viso aperto e di mostrare il rovescio delle cose: la meglio gioventù e i suoi peggiori istinti. La scrittura è netta, feroce, pulita, martellante.

Siamo sommersi da ogni tipo di informazione sui cosmetici. La televisione ci bombarda di pubblicità, le riviste reclamizzano le ultime novità in fatto di mascara e di miracolosi shampoo riparatori e, in particolar modo su internet, ci imbattiamo di continuo in articoli che ci mettono in allarme su prodotti e ingredienti che ci possono causare disturbi e malattie. Siamo frastornati. Di quello che ci spalmiamo addosso sappiamo solo ciò che il marketing vuole farci sapere, ovvero poco e, soprattutto, non sempre qualcosa che sia in grado di aiutarci a scegliere in maniera consapevole. La triste realtà è che un’informazione attendibile e critica sui cosmetici nel nostro paese praticamente non esiste. Beatrice Mautino, biotecnologa e divulgatrice scientifica, ha provato a ovviare a questa grave lacuna mettendosi dalla parte di chi entra in un negozio e vuole acquistare prodotti efficaci e non dannosi per migliorare il proprio aspetto e il proprio benessere, senza essere ingannato dalla pubblicità. Così fra le pagine di questo libro troverete molte risposte alle tante domande che ci facciamo ogni giorno sui prodotti contro le rughe e la cellulite, sulle creme solari, gli shampoo, le cerette e tanto altro. Non troverete pubblicità, ma solo i trucchi, quelli veri, per difendersi da truffe e false promesse.

Una guida pratica ed essenziale per usare la sapienza taoista ed esprimere al massimo la propria creatività. La creatività è una facoltà che appartiene a tutti. Tuttavia, a volte, sembra così difficile essere creativi ed esprimere il proprio potenziale. Standard troppo alti da raggiungere, paura delle critiche, semplice rassegnazione o energie bloccate? Secondo le antiche teorie taoiste, un po’ tutto. Poiché tutto è energia in movimento, anche la creatività non fa eccezione. Se non c’è espressione creativa in qualche forma, significa che il normale ciclo energetico è semplicemente bloccato o malfunzionante in qualche punto. Con questo audiobook imparerai a individuare e superare i blocchi alla tua creatività e imparerai a esprimere la tua energia in tutto ciò che fai. Contenuto: Creare (e guarire) con il Tao

Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di parlare dei processi della fantasia e delle regole della creazione per renderne l’uso accessibile a tutti. Partendo dall’esame dei congegni che muovono l’immaginazione, l’autore non ci consegna, però, un ricettario per costruire storie, ma offre “materia prima”, idee, occasioni di riflessioni fantastiche utilissime per superare la muraglia della routine scolastica e per riconoscere il ruolo della creatività all’interno del processo educativo.

Grammatica della fantasia

«Quando rifiutiamo l'unica storia, quando ci rendiamo conto che non c'è mai un'unica storia per nessun luogo, riconquistiamo una sorta di paradiso». Cosí si esprime Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in questo mirabile testo, che riprende la sua prima celebre conferenza TED del 2009. È un libro di estrema universalità e attualità. Riguarda il rischio che corriamo ogni volta che semplifichiamo, vedendo la realtà attraverso un unico punto di vista. Adichie racconta cosí come ha trovato la sua autentica voce culturale. È particolarmente interessante il sovrapporsi di due piani diversi: quello della poetica dello scrittore (la voce che lo scrittore deve trovare); e quello civile e politico: il pericolo di un'unica storia è il pericolo dell'appiattimento culturale, di una visione identitaria che cancella culture e punti di vista alternativi. «Molte storie sono importanti. Le storie sono state usate per espropriare e per diffamare. Ma le storie si possono usare anche per dare forza e umanizzare. Le storie possono spezzare la dignità di un popolo. Ma le storie possono anche riparare quella dignità spezzata».

Il pericolo di un'unica storia

Ci sono pochi posti nel mondo dove il divario tra quello che crediamo di sapere e quello che sappiamo è tanto ampio quanto nel caso degli Stati Uniti. L'influenza statunitense nei nostri consumi è così longeva che pensiamo di conoscere bene l'America quando in realtà, nella gran parte dei casi, la nostra idea è un impasto di luoghi comuni e poche informazioni concrete. Convinti che gli statunitensi siano tutti armati fino ai denti, non sappiamo, per esempio, che la metà delle armi in circolazione in America è posseduta dal 3 per cento della popolazione. Coltiviamo il luogo comune per cui gli Stati Uniti usino la mano pesante contro l'evasione fiscale e i reati dei cosiddetti colletti bianchi, ma in carcere ci vanno ancora soprattutto ragazzi neri. Ragioniamo e discettiamo sulla cultura americana e sulla sua idea di Stato e libertà, paragonando il tutto a quello che succede qui da noi, senza sapere o tener conto che gli Stati Uniti sono un Paese molto poco popolato: ci sono più persone nella sola New York di quante ce ne siano in 40 dei 50 Stati. Siamo abituati a leggere l'intera politica estera statunitense innanzitutto sulla base del petrolio, e della necessità di trovarlo, ma oggi gli Stati Uniti sono pressoché indipendenti dal punto di vista energetico. L'elenco potrebbe continuare. Allo stesso modo, abbiamo accolto il risultato elettorale più clamoroso in quasi tre secoli di storia statunitense, la vittoria del repubblicano Donald Trump alle presidenziali del 2016, a pochi anni di distanza dell'elezione di Barack Obama, primo presidente nero, come la logica e prevedibile conseguenza dei nostri luoghi comuni. Eppure ci sono fatti e cambiamenti profondi e non sempre visibili che spiegano eventi così straordinari. In quest'anno così cruciale per la politica statunitense, che porterà all'elezione di un nuovo presidente o alla rielezione di Trump, Francesco Costa riflette sulle trasformazioni e i problemi dell'America, quella vera, raccontandoci il doloroso ma inesorabile smarrimento di un Paese speciale che diventa ogni giorno più normale.

Di tutte le cose che le donne possono fare nel mondo, parlare è ancora considerata la piú sovversiva. Se si è donna, in Italia si muore anche di linguaggio. È una morte civile, ma non per questo fa meno male. È con le parole che ci fanno sparire dai luoghi pubblici, dalle professioni, dai dibattiti e dalle notizie, ma di parole ingiuste si muore anche nella vita quotidiana, dove il pregiudizio che passa per il linguaggio uccide la nostra possibilità di essere pienamente noi stesse. Per ogni dislivello di diritti che le donne subiscono a causa del maschilismo esiste un impianto verbale che lo sostiene e lo giustifica. Accade ogni volta che rifiutano di chiamarvi avvocata, sindaca o architetta perché altrimenti «dovremmo dire anche farmacisto». Succede quando fate un bel lavoro, ma vi chiedono prima se siete mamma. Quando siete le uniche di cui non si pronuncia mai il cognome, se non con un articolo determinativo davanti. Quando si mettono a spiegarvi qualcosa che sapete già perfettamente, quando vi dicono di calmarvi, di farvi una risata, di scopare di piú, di smetterla di spaventare gli uomini con le vostre opinioni, di sorridere piuttosto, e soprattutto di star zitta. Questo libro è uno strumento che evidenzia il legame mortificante che esiste tra le ingiustizie che viviamo e le parole che sentiamo. Ha un'ambizione: che tra dieci anni una ragazza o un ragazzo, trovandolo su una bancarella, possa pensare sorridendo che per fortuna queste frasi non le dice piú nessuno.

Stai zitta

Ascoltare è un’arte. Un’arte che, se sai ben padroneggiarla, ti apre le porte del successo. Forse non pensiamo mai all’ascolto in questi termini. Lasciar parlare gli altri è un gesto di educazione, com’è cortesia il non interrompere. Ottimi consigli che però non equivalgono a dare all’ascolto l’importanza strategica che merita. Invece è proprio quello che insegna questo testo: utilizzare l’ascolto come elemento strategico per il tuo successo personale e professionale. L’autore propone un libro pensato proprio per farti concentrare in modo pratico sull’azione dell’ascolto per il successo. Grazie alle diverse tecniche illustrate nel libro potrai fin da subito mettere in azione, nella tua vita quotidiana, tecniche ti permetteranno di migliorare e accelerare la tua capacità di entrare in relazione di ascolto con gli altri e quindi di comunicare (e ottenere ciò che vuoi) con successo.

Cosa significa, oggi, rimanere a vivere nei paesi dell'Appennino centrale? Chi è che ha scelto di ritornare e perché lo ha fatto? C'è ancora tempo e modo di provare a immaginarsi una rinascita di luoghi che la società e la politica non considerano più prioritari nella propria agenda? A queste e ad altre domande prova a rispondersi da tempo Savino Monterisi, che dopo Cronache della restanza torna a interrogarsi tra queste pagine, iniziando una nuova ricerca emozionale sulle orme dei sentieri di montagna e tra i vicoli dei piccoli centri dell'Abruzzo montano. In ogni pagina, e in ogni passo del suo racconto in cammino, si accompagnano così nuove istanze e vecchie conoscenze del territorio; "ritornanti" e comunità resistenti che non si sono mai arrese allo spopolamento, anziani di cui è fondamentale mantenere viva la memoria e giovani che hanno deciso di investire in nuove imprese agricole o nella ricezione turistica. Infinito restare è un viaggio alla scoperta del non conosciuto a portata di mano. Un "oggetto narrativo non identificato" in cui saggistica, reportage e narrazioni si intrecciano e si rincorrono permettendo all'autore di calare nella propria dimensione locale il concetto di "Restanza" sviluppato dall'antropologo calabrese Vito Teti; per far (ri)scoprire il territorio e per farlo (ri)conoscere osservandolo da una nuova prospettiva.

From Bulletproof creator and bestselling author Dave Asprey comes a revolutionary approach to anti-aging that will help you up your game at any age. Dave Asprey suffered countless symptoms of aging as a young man, which sparked a life-long burning desire to grow younger with each birthday. For more than twenty years, he has been on a quest to find innovative, science-backed methods to upgrade human biology and redefine the limits of the mind, body, and spirit. The results speak for themselves. Now in his forties, Dave is smarter, happier, and more fit and successful than ever before. In Super Human, he shows how this is level of health and performance possible for all of us. While we assume we will peak in middle age and then decline, Asprey’s research reveals there is another way. It is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to dramatically extend life span. And the tools to live longer also give you more energy and brainpower right now. The answers lie in Dave’s Seven Pillars of Aging that contribute to degeneration and disease while diminishing your performance in the moment. Using simple interventions—like diet, sleep, light, exercise, and little-known but powerful hacks from ozone therapy to proper jaw alignment, you can decelerate cellular aging and supercharge your body’s ability to heal and rejuvenate.  A self-proclaimed human guinea pig, Asprey arms readers with practical advice to maximize their lives at every age with his signature mix of science-geek wonder, candor, and enthusiasm. Getting older no longer has to mean decline. Now it’s an opportunity to become Super Human.

C’è un equivalente mentale di ogni oggetto o evento sul piano fisico. È il messaggio di questo potente saggio di Emmet Fox, uno dei leader spirituali più influenti del ventesimo secolo, pioniere del movimento del Nuovo Pensiero e ispiratore di molti autori contemporanei di crescita personale e motivazione, come Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks e Louise Hay.

Ma noi conosciamo la verità, e non giudichiamo dalle apparenze. Sappiamo che viviamo in un mondo mentale, e saperlo è la chiave della vita.” (Emmet Fox).

Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.

Mark Twain's 'On Masturbation' is a thought-provoking and controversial essay that delves into the taboo topic of self-pleasure. Written in Twain's signature satirical and humorous style, the book challenges societal norms and sheds light on the psychological and physiological effects of masturbation. Twain's witty observations and clever wordplay make this essay a compelling read for those interested in exploring human sexuality in a literary context. This book, although deemed controversial during its time, is now considered a significant piece of Twain's body of work, showcasing his willingness to tackle uncomfortable subjects with intelligence and wit. Mark Twain, known for his sharp wit and social commentary, wrote 'On Masturbation' as a way to challenge societal norms and provoke thought on a taboo subject. With his background as a prolific writer and keen observer of human nature, Twain brought a fresh perspective to the discussion of self-pleasure, inviting readers to reconsider their beliefs and biases. I highly recommend 'Mark Twain: On Masturbation' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of literature, psychology, and sexuality. Twain's unique approach to this controversial topic will both entertain and enlighten, making it a valuable addition to any literary or philosophical collection.

'A grisly, sobering, comprehensively researched new history.' - The New Yorker Indecent Advances is a skilful hybrid of true crime and social history that examines the often-coded portrayal of crimes against gay men in the decades before Stonewall. New York University professor and critic James Polchin illustrates how homosexuals were criminalized, and their murders justified, in the popular imagination from 1930s 'sex panics' to Cold War fear of Communists and homosexuals in government. He shows the vital that role crime stories played in ideas of normalcy and deviancy, and how those stories became tools to discriminate against and harm gay men. J. Edgar Hoover, Kerouac, Burroughs, Patricia Highsmith, James Baldwin, Allen Ginsberg and Gore Vidal all feature. Published around the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in 1969, Indecent Advances investigates how queer men navigated a society that criminalized them. Polchin shows how this discrimination was ultimately transformed by gay rights activists before Stonewall, and explores its resonances up to and including the policing of Gianni Versace's death in 1997.

Set in the court of Urbino in 1507, Castiglione’s The Book of the Courtier presents an invaluable look at court life and culture during the Renaissance. Over four nights of dialogue, the book explores the key question, ‘What should a courtier be like?’; it presents a deep and timeless discussion that is reminiscent of Plato’s Symposium and Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, and invites comparisons with Machiavelli’s The Prince. It is absorbing and enlightening, and encompasses a wide range of topics that include dancing, fencing, war, religion, culture, courtly and corporeal love and gender relations, with a surprisingly modern defence of women and equal rights.

The Classroom Behavior Manual

With the recent developments in computing technologies and the thriving research scene in Complexity Science, economists and other social scientists have become aware of a more flexible and promising alternative for modelling socioeconomic systems; one that, in contrast with neoclassical economics, advocates for the realism of the assumptions, the importance of context and culture, the heterogeneity of agents (individuals or organizations), and the bounded rationality of individuals who behave and learn in multifaceted ways in uncertain environments. The book synthesizes an extensive body of work in the field of social complexity and constructs a unifying framework that allows developing concrete applications to important socioeconomic problems. This one-of-a-kind textbook provides a comprehensive panorama for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who want to become familiar with a wide range of issues related to social complexity. It is also a pioneering text that can support professors who wish to learn techniques and produce research in this novel field. Con los desarrollos recientes en las tecnologías de la computación y el floreciente dinamismo de las ciencias de la complejidad, economistas y otros científicos sociales tienen a su alcance una flexible y prometedora alternativa para la modelación de los sistemas socioeconómicos. Esta metodología, en contraste con la economía neoclásica, aboga por el realismo de los supuestos, la importancia del contexto y la cultura, la heterogeneidad de los agentes (individuos y organizaciones), y la racionalidad acotada de las personas que se comportan y aprenden de maneras muy diversas en entorno con incertidumbre. El libro sintetiza la extensa literatura que existe sobre la complejidad social, y construye un enfoque unificador que permite elaborar aplicaciones concretas con las que abordar importantes problemas socioeconómicos. Se trata de un texto singular dado que presenta un panorama comprensivo del campo de estudio, por lo que puede resultar de sumo interés para estudiante de licenciatura avanzados, y alumnos de posgrado que desean adentrarse en el tema. Asimismo, se trata de un texto pionero de gran utilidad para profesores y analistas interesados en aprender algunas de las técnicas del paradigma de la complejidad social para, de esta forma, aplicarlas en sus tareas de investigación.

This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability. A Country of Shepherds is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the Spanish government’s recent work with UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the Iberian Peninsula as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Demonstrating the critical role of tradition, cultural geographies, and sustainability in the Mediterranean, this book will appeal to academicians but also to general readers who seek to understand, in very human terms, the impact of the world-wide environmental crisis we are now experiencing.

My Pedagogic Creed is the "manifesto" of the new schools. By the time a shot was fired in the middle of a swamp pedagogical could not recognize the centrality of the subject in the educational process. Dewey became the theoretical maximum representative of the progressive school. With the new education was occurring a shift of the core around which the educational practices: from the teacher to the child. The fundamental point of the analysis of pedagogical Dewey is given by a conception of education as a "social participation of the individual consciousness of the species" that is in the principle of democratic life its highest manifestation and meaningful. If the democratic society is the product of the intelligence of men, in turn, the education of intelligence is a decisive factor for democratic life. The democratic life is nourished, in short, through the cultivation of the intellect. The close relationship between democracy and education is the basis of the interactive relationship between school and society. The school is based on the activities and interests of the pupils, ordered as an open community to social reality, agreed not to mold them in a standardized way, but to value them according to their potential, is referred to as the indispensable condition for the emergence of a society in which humans can experience in a personal way democracy. Dewey writes, "with a top oppose the expression of individuality and culture, the discipline outside the free activity, to learning from books and teachers, the learning through experience; purchase of isolated skills and techniques through exercise opposes the achievement of them as a means to achieve the purpose that meet vital needs, the preparation for a more or less remote future is opposed to the maximum exploitation of the possibilities of the present life to the purposes and opposed to static materials familiarization with a world in motion. " Among these principles, that of learning through experience (learning by doing) occupies a central place in the reflection of the author. The experience is the starting point of all knowledge and all educational practice. The experience for Dewey denotes everything that is experienced, everything that happens in the world, everything you try and you suffer, it is a a reality that includes everything: includes what is rational and logical as that which is irrational and unconscious.
