En los años 70 y 80, mientras ABC, NBC y CBS se disputaban cada pantalla, una familia mexicana, junto a un astuto operador estadounidense, construía en silencio las bases de un imperio. Frente a magnates televisivos como Ted Turner y Rupert Murdoch lograron lo impensable: abrirse paso en el cerrado mundo de la televisión estadounidense. Más tarde, tras ser expulsados del mercado por intereses políticos y corporativos, regresaron gracias a una alianza tan improbable como estratégica con el exrepresentante artístico de Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor y Marlon Brando.

You can learn a lot from the movies—about sex and relationships, about business, about history. Sure, there’s a fair amount of fantasy, wish fulfillment, and glorious hair to exaggerate everything, but for better or for worse, films remain one of the most important ways that viewers around the world learn about other people and cultures. And almost since the dawn of the medium, movies have shaped the public’s understanding of and assumptions about disability.

An extended essay initially written in response to a letter pondering how to end war, Three Guineas eloquently relates women’s equal opportunity to the end of the power structures which contribute to conflict. Using the metaphor of three guineas, Woolf highlights three worthy causes to donate to in order to end violence: rebuilding education for women, supporting professional opportunities for women and the promotion of pacifism.

He was a career CIA officer. He was also a spy for the Soviet Union. In 1985, Aldrich Ames began selling secrets to the KGB—compromising dozens of CIA operations and costing the lives of multiple American agents. What followed was nearly a decade of deception, luxury, and death, all fueled by greed and personal failure. The CIA had no idea it was being gutted from the inside. In Aldrich Ames: The CIA Turncoat Who Sold Secrets to Moscow, author David G. Stone unpacks the full story of America’s most damaging mole.

Schwierige Menschen können einen zur Weißglut treiben. Sie reden viel und sagen wenig, klugscheißen mit Leidenschaft, nörgeln mit Hingabe und finden selbst im Sonnenschein noch ein Haar in der Suppe. Sie lästern, intrigieren, stellen sich als Opfer dar – und natürlich sind immer die anderen schuld. Ihre Maßstäbe? Nicht gerecht, sondern selbstgerecht. Ihre Lieblingssportart? Anderen auf die Nerven gehen. Ob als Besserwisser im Büro, als Dauerquassler auf der Familienfeier, als Schwarzmaler im Freundeskreis oder als miesepetriger Nachbar – sie sind überall.

Compulsive Body Spaces presents a spatial understanding of compulsion. Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

The narrow Darién Gap, the only land bridge connecting South and Central America, encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle, covered in steep mountains, dense rainforests, and flood-prone marshes. Known in Spanish as el infierno verde, or “the green hell,” it is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. Its terrain is too treacherous for roads, yet hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers contend with its horrors every year in the hopes of reaching the United States, still some three thousand miles away. And of the countless who set out for the border, an untold number never arrive.

Este libro centra sus reflexiones en los hechos que, hoy en día, más preocupan a la sociedad: la inseguridad en el acceso a la educación y el privilegio como riesgo; la dignidad en el trabajo; el sentido del éxito en una sociedad que aspira al bien común; las dificultades para alcanzar la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres; el racismo como síntoma de indignidad humana; los logros de la medicina para restaurar la dignidad del individuo enfermo; la solidaridad alrededor de la donación y el trasplante de órganos, entre muchos otros.

His final confession. The one he wasn’t supposed to write. The one they’ll brand as “misinformation” while sliding it under the table. Call it a tell-all, call it damage control, call it his victory lap. He calls it . . . pandemic preparedness, uncut.

En su poética descripción de la utopía, Eduardo Galeano juega con la paradoja de que cuanto más nos intentamos acercar a su horizonte más se aleja ella de nosotros. ¿Para qué sirve, entonces? Para seguir caminando, concluye el escritor uruguayo.

En La ética del paseante y otras razones para la esperanza, el término ética alude a un refugio del ser humano. Y la esperanza se construye con las manos de la memoria, porque todos somos paseantes de su territorio mientras avanzamos hacia nosotros mismos deambulando por cualquier lugar.

Sophie Gilbert identifica un punto de inflexión a finales de los 90 y principios de los 2000, cuando la energía del feminismo de tercera ola se desplomó y entramos en un periodo regresivo de hiperobjetivación, sexualización e infantilización de la mujer. En este audiolibro explora el lado más oscuro de la nostalgia, centrando su aguda mirada analítica en los objetos culturales más reveladores del siglo XXI, en la música, el cine, la televisión, la moda, el periodismo sensacionalista y más.
