Giulia Zollino ha vissuto questa educazione - o, sarebbe meglio dire, diseducazione - sulla propria pelle. Poi, però, ha incontrato il femminismo. È successo a Bologna, durante gli anni burrascosi dell'università, tra gruppi di discussione, letture e orgasmi. Ed è stato amore a prima vista. Questo incontro ha segnato uno spartiacque tra un prima e un dopo, da qui è partito il suo percorso di ribellione e riscoperta di sé. Il femminismo le ha insegnato a distruggere i miti nocivi, come quello della bellezza, permettendole di accettare e riappropriarsi del suo corpo.

Bringing together quantitative and qualitative data, Proximity Politics shows that even in today's interconnected world, we are still profoundly influenced by what happens next door.

In this ground-breaking and original book, Lincoln but Trump, Randy Olson introduces a whole new quantitative component to both narrative structure and, crucial for today’s world, messaging. Here, for the first time ever, are two very simple but powerful “narrative metrics” that now make possible the “narrative diagnosis” of content. The metrics do for storytelling the same thing a doctor does to assess your health — i.e. they tell you if you have a problem.

The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino tells the story mainstream media refuses to cover: how a growing number of Hispanic Americans are standing up for faith, family, freedom, and the Constitution.

Just two months after Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president, John Hinckley Jr. shocked the world because of his movie star obsession. What followed was chaos.

Whenever he left Monticello, where he could control his environment, he suffered debilitating headaches that plagued him for decades, until he finally retired from public life. So, what did it feel like to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged.

Gli episodi di violenza di genere che occupano le cronache non sono fatti isolati, ma l'espressione estrema di un sistema radicato. Ilaria Ramoni e Fabio Roia mettono in luce un parallelismo scomodo ma necessario: quello tra la subcultura patriarcale e quella mafiosa. Entrambe si reggono sul silenzio, sulla complicità, sull'idea che le donne non siano soggetti, ma oggetti da possedere o scambiare.

Cuidar de ellos es cuidar de una de las principales herramientas para salvaguardar las condiciones mínimas de existencia y expresión de la diversidad social y política.

In the tumultuous world of revolutionary France, the enigmatic diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord survived–and shaped–five regimes. Duff Cooper’s elegant biography reveals a man as brilliant as he was controversial; the ‘quick-witted little boy’ who enjoyed the anachronistic world of his great-grandmother’s château became the shrewd, silver-tongued servant of multiple kings and revolutionary leaders. From the salons of pre-revolutionary Paris to the negotiating tables of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna, the turncoat Talleyrand exercised his wit, pragmatism and moral ambiguity.

This audiobook doesn’t glorify. It doesn’t condemn.

With candid honesty and deep conviction, Scarlett challenges both his colleagues and his patients to remember why medicine exists in the first place: to help people heal. This book is both a call to action and a blueprint for change. For burned-out physicians questioning why they ever chose this path, Scarlett offers a reminder of their purpose and the hope that change is possible.

La violencia vino del Norte revela el factor decisivo detrás de la catástrofe que desde 2007 padece México: la política armamentística de Estados Unidos. Sin el acceso masivo a esos arsenales, la masacre y la corrupción nunca habrían alcanzado la escala actual.

El libro rastrea cómo la desregulación sistemática de armas en aquel país no solo permitió esta catástrofe, sino que la buscó.

« J’ai décidé, avec ce livre-testament, de ne jamais brider ma plume. J’écris sans scrupule. Je livre, sans aucune précaution pour les âmes sensibles, le fond de ma pensée, avec l’obsession de relever le pays, de le redresser, de le sortir du cloaque. Je suis hanté par la disparition du peuple auquel j’appartiens. Je vois le gouffre s’ouvrir.
