Genitori in coppia, coniugata e di fatto, più di due genitori, un figlio ad ogni costo, genitori omosessuali: diversi modi di essere madri e padri e una molteplicità di forme di famiglia.

Oggi i nonni sono più importanti che nel passato: vivono di più e in buona salute e quindi si allungano gli anni di vita condivisa con le generazioni più giovani; le relazioni con i nipoti diventano più strette e affettuose, fondandosi su un rapporto di cura che permette anche alle madri di lavorare fuori casa; infine i nonni rappresentano spesso un ancoraggio sicuro nei momenti di crisi e cambiamento della famiglia, come una separazione, un divorzio, una migrazione.

Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts." Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.

Between 1927 and 1979, more than 8,000 people were involuntarily sterilized in five hospitals across the state of Virginia. From this plain and terrible fact springs Elizabeth Catte's Pure America, a sweeping, unsparing history of eugenics in Virginia, and by extension the United States.

"Factfulness" handler om verden, og hvordan vi kan blive bedre til at forstå den, som den virkelig er. Når man stiller folk simple spørgsmål om globale tendenser, giver de altid de forkerte svar. Hvor mange piger går for eksempel i skole? Hvor stor vil Jordens befolkning være i 2050? Og lever størstedelen i rige eller fattige lande? I "Factfulness" forklarer Hans Rosling sammen med Ola Rosling og Anna Rosling Rönnlund, hvorfor misforståelserne sker. De beskriver 10 fundamentale menneskelige instinkter, som konsekvent forhindrer os i at have et faktabaseret verdenssyn.

The ugly truth about diversity is that some people worry they must give up their power for others to have a chance. La’Wana Harris’s Inclusion Coaching method helps people realize that sharing power isn’t the same as losing it. The elephant in the room with diversity work is that people with privilege must use it to allow others equal access to power. This is often why diversity efforts falter - people believe in diversity until they feel that they have to give something up.

The white power movement in America wants a revolution. It has declared all-out war against the federal government and its agents, and has carried out - with military precision - an escalating campaign of terror against the American public. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the first full history of the movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.

Geld gab es in ihrer Familie immer zu wenig. Als Kind fragte sie sich deshalb, wie manche achtlos hunderte Euro für Taschen, Schuhe, Steaks ausgeben können, während es gleichzeitig so viele Menschen gibt, für die 100 Euro ein kleines Vermögen sind. Inzwischen ist sie selbst eine von denen geworden, die verschwenderisch Geld ausgeben: 60 Euro für einen Skipass, 225 Euro für eine Katzentherapeutin, 748 Euro für ein Brautkleid. Immer noch rechnet sie die Beträge in Hartz-IV-Regelsätze um. Ganz offen erzählt Anna Mayr von ihrer eigenen Bürgerlichwerdung.

Pendant plus d'un an, Anna Erelle et Jacques Duplessy ont enquêté sur un phénomène méconnu de l'opinion et de plus en plus embarrassant pour les pouvoirs publics : la multiplication d'établissements scolaires qui passent sous les radars de l'Éducation nationale.

Warum unsere Gesellschaft Arbeitslose verachtet und sie dennoch braucht. Faul. Ungebildet. Desinteressiert. Selber schuld.
