Após anos de estudos para compreender o próprio comportamento, a pesquisadora e psicóloga Elaine N. Aron se tornou pioneira ao identificar a alta sensibilidade como um traço de personalidade inato - muitas vezes confundido com fraqueza, timidez ou mesmo “frescura”. Você se sente angustiado quando há muita confusão à sua volta? Precisa de um tempo sozinho para se reestruturar depois de um dia corrido? É afetado pelo humor das outras pessoas? Tem uma ligação forte com música ou arte? Então é provável que você seja uma Pessoa Altamente Sensível.

Aí você pergunta: quem foi o gênio por trás disso? O que essa gente tinha na cabeça?! Desde que Adão deu uma mordida no fruto proibido e foi expulso nu em pelo do Jardim do Éden, a humanidade tem tido uma ideia pior do que a outra. De líderes políticos obtusos e cientistas loucos a cantores pop que não cantam bulhufas. As 100 Piores Ideias da História é uma celebração das mancadas homéricas – e muitas vezes histéricas – que deram origem a guerras, afundaram países, arruinaram empresas, destruíram carreiras, causaram prejuízos de milhões e até, pasmem, ameaçaram a Terra.

There I was, moving into the dorms at Franklin U and not into the shared party house I’d lived in my freshman year. Last year had been all about football and parties, not schoolwork. Which was why my grades tanked. Why I was one failed class away from being kicked off the team. Why I needed to live on campus and find myself a tutor. Funny that my new roommate just happened to be a tutor. Funny that he was oblivious to how hot he was. For a smart guy, he was pretty clueless.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Neste influente e original ensaio, Murray Rothbard defende que o Estado nada mais é do que uma instituição que viola tudo aquilo que consideramos honesto e moral, sempre agindo sob uma falsa aura de bondade e preocupação para com o cidadão. Ele demonstra ainda como esse mesmo Estado devasta a liberdade, destrói a civilização e ameaça a vida, a propriedade e o bem-estar social das pessoas. Em A Anatomia do Estado, Rothbard consolida tudo o que aprendeu com as tradições misesiana, liberal e anarcocapitalista.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Perhaps one of the most revolutionary works of philosophy ever presented, The Phenomenology of Spirit is Hegel's 1807 work that is in numerous ways extraordinary. A myriad of topics are discussed, and explained in such a harmoniously complex way that the method has been termed Hegelian dialectic. Ultimately, the work as a whole is a remarkable study of the mind's growth from its direct awareness to scientific philosophy, proving to be a difficult yet highly influential and enduring work.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.
