Hay historias que mejoran con el tiempo. Sobre todo si suceden en Italia, porque allí las ondas expansivas de las investigaciones judiciales son interestelares: rascas un poco y aparecen conspiraciones de película de serie B en las que no falta ningún elemento, desde grupos terroristas a tramas vaticanas. Parece muy sofisticado, pero no se engañen: la mafia es una fábula estúpida sin ningún glamour. 

Pactos en la oscuridad, juegos sucios de compraventa de una absolución, amenazas a un juez, estratagemas para salvar a la infanta, guerra entre togas.... Pilar Urbano, periodista incisiva y valiente, se metió en el laberinto, conversó con fiscales, defensores, policías de la UDEF, testigos, agentes tributarios, e imputados. Y logró la gran exclusiva: el relato del juez Castro, en primera persona. Nos ofrece así un documento único; verdadero periodismo de investigación. 

Estamos rodeados de noticias sobre cuestiones judiciales que la mayoría no comprendemos bien. Y los medios, en vez de ayudar, muchas veces lo que hacen es desinformar. Con un lenguaje coloquial y al alcance de todos, Judge The Zipper, juez divulgador en Twitter, donde cuenta con casi 90.000 seguidores, se arremanga la toga y nos explica qué es eso de la prisión provisional, la presunción de inocencia, las denuncias y las demandas, los antecedentes penales, la legítima defensa, el jurado, la custodia compartida, los inmigrantes ilegales.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Quando si parla di Stato laico si allude, in termini generali, al mantenimento della distinzione tra sfera civile e sfera religiosa. Una distinzione conquistata a fatica, ma che oggi può considerarsi un dato acquisito nei paesi "occidentali". La storia ci dice tuttavia che esistono vari modi di intendere il rapporto tra Stato e fenomeno religioso, che risentono delle tradizioni politico-culturali dei singoli paesi. In questo quadro, l'esperienza italiana presenta tratti assolutamente peculiari.

Las fake news no son un fenómeno nuevo: los gobiernos, los partidos políticos, los medios de comunicación y las grandes corporaciones - o los monopolios de información equivalentes en cada época - han hecho siempre un uso de ellas. FakeYou expone investigaciones que desmontan los mitos en los que se respalda la ola de legislaciones liberticidas que sufrimos en la actualidad. Este libro se plantea como una herramienta de defensa contra los recortes de las libertades fundamentales y un arma contra las nuevas formas de manipulación, mentira, y falsificación.

In chapters leavened with humor, hope, and insight, she recounts an immigrant's daily struggles balancing assimilation with preserving heritage, overcoming religious barriers from within and distortions of Islam from without, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims - while they lobby for a Christmas tree!

When people think of the Holocaust, they think of Auschwitz, of Dachau; and when they think of justice for this terrible chapter in history, they think of Nuremberg. Not of Russia or the Ukraine, and certainly not a town called Kharkov. But in reality, the first war-crimes trial against the Nazis was in this idyllic, peaceful Ukrainian city, which is fitting, because it is also where the Holocaust actually began.

Ma come funziona realmente il WTO? Come vengono prese le decisioni al suo interno e qual è il suo ruolo nelle controversie commerciali tra i vari paesi?

Sono morti venti, trent'anni fa. Giù a Palermo. Lo sapevano che li avrebbero fermati, prima o poi. Facevano paura al potere. Italiani troppo diversi e troppo soli per avere un'altra sorte. Una solitudine generata non soltanto da interessi di cosca o di consorteria. Ma anche da meschinità più nascoste e colpevoli indolenze, decisive per trascinarli verso una fine violenta. Avevano il silenzio attorno. A un passo. Pio La Torre, nel partito al quale ha dedicato tutto se stesso.
