What he tells her is the life of Aesh: an orc child who becomes the greatest warlord their people have ever known. Aesh was born into a culture with deep roots and a home carved from stone and dark.

"Ho deciso di partire. Non posso più restare qui, mi scoppia il cuore. Ho detto ieri al dottor Peyron che domani salirò sul treno e andrò via per sempre." Come in un vero e proprio "diario ritrovato" Vincent van Gogh ci racconta, giorno per giorno, le ultime settimane della sua vita trascorse nel villaggio di Auvers-sur-Oise, a nord di Parigi. Un’autobiografia ideale e poetica, fatta anche di tanti ricordi, in cui Marco Goldin presta le sue parole al grande pittore olandese, con un passo narrativo coinvolgente e sempre fedele alle fonti storiche e all'epistolario.

I due mesi che i pittori Vincent van Gogh e Paul Gauguin vissero insieme nella Casa Gialla ad Arles, dal 23 ottobre al 23 dicembre 1888, restano tra i momenti più intensi e decisivi dell'intera storia dell'arte. Intensi e talvolta anche drammatici: Vincent si taglierà un orecchio alla vigilia del Natale, Paul fuggirà a Parigi... Sessanta giorni che questo romanzo ricostruisce attingendo alle fonti, dai giornali alle lettere tra i due artisti, e restituendo con sensibilità non solo la storia ma le atmosfere, le ispirazioni, i moti dell'anima.

With rapid globalization, the world is more deeply interconnected than ever before. While this has its advantages, it also brings with it systemic risks that are only just being identified and understood. Rapid urbanization, together with technological leaps, such as the Internet, mean that we are now physically and virtually closer than ever in humanity's history. We face a number of international challenges - climate change, finance, pandemics, cyber security, and migration - which spill over national boundaries.

The process by which nations escape poverty and achieve economic and social progress has been the subject of extensive examination for hundreds of years. The notion of development itself has evolved from an original preoccupation with incomes and economic growth to a much broader understanding of development. In this Very Short Introduction, Ian Goldin considers the contributions that education, health, gender, equity, and other dimensions of human well-being make to development.

In this visionary Shortest History of Migration, Ian Goldin uncovers key moments of cultural exchange while carefully examining empire, slavery, and war.

In Thinking with Your Hands, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow argues that gesture is vital to how we think, learn, and communicate. She shows us, for instance, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias or how the shape of a student’s gestures can track their mastery of a new concept—even when they’re still giving wrong answers. She compels us to rethink everything from how we set child-development milestones to what’s admissible in a court of law to whether Zoom is an adequate substitute for in-person conversation.
