Allora partiamo da dove tutto è cominciato. Dal Tevere. E iniziamo a camminare. Ecco che quegli stessi luoghi che percorriamo distrattamente ci mostreranno un volto diverso e nuovo. Ci accorgeremo delle infinite stratificazioni di questa città; dei millenni di cultura, potere e bellezza che si sono succeduti sovrapponendosi e mai elidendosi. Per non perderci, la nostra guida ha organizzato 18 itinerari a tema che ci permetteranno ogni volta di scoprire un aspetto diverso magari proprio là dove non saremmo mai andati.

Todo el país se volcó con Jonathan Conyers después de que su inspiradora historia se volvió viral, recaudó millones en donaciones para la Brooklyn Debate League (Liga de Debate de Brooklyn), y conquistó el corazón de Estados Unidos. El niño que llegó a la escuela con dificultades para leer terminó convirtiéndose en la revelación de su equipo de debate del bachillerato gracias a una amistad que formó con su entrenador de debate, una persona transgénero, que marcó su vida para siempre.

By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Despite being one of the leading thinkers of the second wave feminist movement, today Shere Hite is little known, little written about, and, unsurprisingly, little read. Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness?

En la prestigiosa academia Niveus la rivalidad entre los alumnos es feroz: ricos, guapos y con un brillante futuro por delante, todos saben que se espera mucho de ellos. Chiamaka es una de las reinas del instituto, y está dispuesta a jugar sus mejores cartas para alcanzar sus ambiciosos objetivos. Por su parte, Devon prefiere mantenerse al margen de los grupos y corrillos y conseguir graduarse sin llamar demasiado la atención.

De las muchas criaturas fabulosas que han poblado la literatura y el cine, la mujer fatal es una de las más recurrentes y proteicas de los dos últimos siglos, si bien forma parte de una antigua estirpe que se remonta hasta la inconstante Helena clásica que motivó la guerra de Troya o la temeraria Eva bíblica que condenó a la humanidad entera.

Examinando mitos e arquétipos da Deusa em diferentes sociedades, descobrimos como Sua marginalização reflete os padrões de desigualdade de gênero e opressão ao longo da história. Ao abordar uma espiritualidade que não está fundamentada na tradição patriarcal, a historiadora e teóloga Carol P. Christ, doutora em Estudos da Religião pela Universidade Yale, retorna a cosmovisão ancestral que celebra a vida, as mulheres, a criatividade e a interconexão com a natureza.

Can You Forgive Her? is the first of the six in the Palliser series. Trollope inextricably binds together the issues of parliamentary election and marriage, of politics and privacy. The values and aspirations of the governing stratum of Victorian society are ruthlessly examined, and none remains unscathed. But above all Trollope focuses on the predicament of women. 'What should a woman do with her life?' asks Alice Vavasor of herself, and this theme is echoed by every other woman in the audiobook.

In the 1970s, the behavioral psychologist Herbert S. Terrace led a remarkable experiment to see if a chimpanzee could be taught to use language. A young ape, named “Nim Chimpsky” in a nod to the linguist whose theories Terrace challenged, was raised by a family in New York and instructed in American Sign Language. Initially, Terrace thought that Nim could create sentences but later discovered that Nim’s teachers inadvertently cued his signing. Terrace concluded that Project Nim failed - not because Nim couldn’t create sentences but because he couldn’t even learn words.

In queste pagine le storie di Maria Chindamo, Giulia Cecchettin e Saman Abbas diventano non solo testimonianze di orrori privati, ma anche denuncia di un sistema che troppo spesso si gira dall'altra parte o che, nella migliore delle ipotesi, fraintende, lasciando che le vittime diventino numeri in una statistica che cresce di anno in anno.

In this book, two distinguished scientists tackle common misconceptions about race, human biology, and racism. Using an accessible question-and-answer format, Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan H. Goodman explain the differences between social and biological notions of race. Although there are many meaningful human genetic variations, they do not map onto socially constructed racial categories. Drawing on evidence from both natural and social science, Graves and Goodman dismantle the malignant myth of gene-based racial difference.

In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect - a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well.

The protagonist of Just Do It is Phil Knight, a reclusive billionaire who started a two-man operation importing Japanese running shoes and built it into a $4 billion company. Irreverent, unpredictable, and leery of the sports establishment, Knight created the most muscular jock culture in business, a place where employees routinely took two hours at lunch to work out and then strategized late into the night in their holy war against competitors Reebok and Adidas.

Books about the Kennedys are legion. Yet missing until now has been the exploration of the bond between Jack and Bobby, and the part that it played in their rise and fall. Richard D. Mahoney gives us Jack and Bobby in all their hubris and humanity, youthfulness and fatalism. Here is American history as it unfolds. The Kennedy Brothers is a fresh and masterful account of the men whose legacy continues to hold the American imagination.

Are women able to achieve anything they set their minds to? In How to Suppress Women’s Writing, award-winning novelist and scholar Joanna Russ lays bare the subtle - and not so subtle - strategies that society uses to ignore, condemn, or belittle women who produce literature. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1983, this book has motivated generations of readers with its powerful feminist critique.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

S'appuyant sur des recherches novatrices dans le domaine de la psychologie, des neurosciences et de l'histoire, Jonathan Haidt montre dans cet essai fascinant que si nous avons tant de mal à nous entendre, c'est parce que notre esprit humain est naturellement porté à juger, à moraliser et à se croire dans son bon droit. En retraçant l'évolution de la morale, il explique comment elle a permis aux humains de coopérer et de créer des sociétés, mais aussi pourquoi nos valeurs morales ne reposent pas toutes sur l'égalité et la justice.

痛いのは疲れる、そして孤独だ――痛みは人を孤絶させる壁。が、そこに岩清水のように滴る言葉があった。――鷲田清一（哲学者）ユーモラスで、しみじみせつない、はじめてみる光。

El panteón mexica tenía más de cien deidades, en su mayoría seccionadas de forma jerárquica. Entre los poderes que se les atribuía se encontraban: inmortalidad y capacidad de renacer o reencarnar si morían, omnipresencia, omnipotencia, invisibilidad y el poder de manifestarse visiblemente en sueños o como nahuales. Los dioses mexicas no eran sólo justicieros, bondadosos y equitativos, sino que también eran arbitrarios, bromistas, caprichosos y malévolos.
