New York Times Bestseller ""There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” —Lisa Taddeo, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Three Women “Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.

Everything I Know About Love

"Questo libro raccoglie alcune cose che ho imparato in tanti anni di professione, di incontri, di esperienze, di libri letti e scritti, di speranze e delusioni..." Così Piero Angela riassume e spiega la sua ultima fatica, un testo scritto di getto e nato dall'urgenza del momento, e dalle enormi sfide che ci attendono. Un lascito morale, dopo una lunghissima carriera al servizio dell'informazione e della formazione di generazioni di italiani. "Com'è possibile" si chiede in queste pagine "che un paese come l'Italia, che ha marcato profondamente per secoli il cammino della civiltà, oggi sia così in difficoltà, e abbia perso le sue luci?" La risposta è in dieci semplici capitoli, dieci aree critiche su cui occorre agire. Per oltre cinquant'anni Piero Angela si è occupato a tempo pieno di scienza, tecnologia, ambiente, informazione, energia, televisione, comportamenti, e ha scritto Dieci cose che ho imparato per condividere con i lettori alcune proposte, frutto della sua lunga esperienza sul campo. Con questo libro, a cui ha lavorato fino all'ultimo, colui che è stato per tutti il volto rassicurante della scienza ha voluto dirci come usarla per migliorare le cose. Per rilanciare l'Italia con una nuova visione.

Dieci cose che ho imparato

Now a major motion picture starring Jim Parsons! A “heartbreaking but surprisingly hilarious memoir” (People) about the lessons, love, and laughter of the fourteen years a respected TV columnist shared with his late husband before he succumbed to cancer. For over a decade, TV fans have counted upon Michael Ausiello’s insider knowledge to get the scoop on their favorite shows and stars. From his time at Soaps In Depth and Entertainment Tonight to his influential stints at TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly to his current role as cofounder of the wildly popular website TVLine, Michael has established himself as the go-to expert when it comes to our most popular form of entertainment. What many of his fans don’t know, however, is that while his professional life was in full swing, Michael had to endure the greatest of personal tragedies: his longtime boyfriend, Kit Cowan, was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer. Over the course of eleven months, Kit and Michael did their best to combat the deadly disease, but Kit succumbed to his illness in 2015. In this heartbreaking and darkly hilarious memoir, Michael tells the story of his harrowing and challenging last year with Kit while revisiting the thirteen years that preceded it, and how the undeniably powerful bond between him and Kit carried them through all manner of difficulties—always with laughter front and center in their relationship. “Engrossing, poignant, tragic, and hilarious” (Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies is “a story about love and loss, joy and heartbreak. And in the midst of personal turmoil, we learn that bravery comes in many forms” (The Washington Post).

Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies

Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di parlare dei processi della fantasia e delle regole della creazione per renderne l’uso accessibile a tutti. Partendo dall’esame dei congegni che muovono l’immaginazione, l’autore non ci consegna, però, un ricettario per costruire storie, ma offre “materia prima”, idee, occasioni di riflessioni fantastiche utilissime per superare la muraglia della routine scolastica e per riconoscere il ruolo della creatività all’interno del processo educativo.

Grammatica della fantasia

Almost everyone is doing it. Aimlessly scrolling through their social media feeds. From presidents to the postmen, most people you know and probably even yourself. Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace. Why is it that the screen sometimes seems more important than looking up and being present in real life? And what does it mean that more and more people are turning into so-called "Scroll Zombies"? Sven Rollenhagen thoughtfully discusses social media use and how it affects us both psychologically and physically. How the rise of social media has created an onslaught of mental health problems in young people. And how withdrawal can lead to symptoms, not unlike those caused by more familiar dependencies such as drugs and alcohol. But, are we really addicted? And if so, how can we be cured? Rollenhagen does not advocate for throwing away your phone or logging off Instagram forever, he acknowledges the powerful connection that social media has in connecting friends, family and strangers across the globe. Instead, this book contains practical tips and solutions for kicking dependency and finding true digital balance. Sven Rollenhagen is a social worker specialising in the digital ad-diction of video games, social media and mobile phones. He works as a councellor, lecturer and writer in these fields. Sven’s strength as an expert in digital issues is that he is in touch with reality – as a councellor and lecturer for families and schools. He is also a friend of technology, plays online and is a frequent user of social media. Sven is based in Sweden but has clients all over the world

Read by the author, Michelle Zauner, lead vocalist of Japanese Breakfast. 'A story that is both beautiful and heartbreaking; it is as raw as it is precious. I bawled my eyes out, but I also loved it and I hope you do too.' – Dua Lipa From the indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity. 'Incredible . . . It absolutely wrecked me . . . So, so emotional' – Natalie Portman 'Crying In H Mart destroyed me . . . It’s fantastic.' – Olivia Rodrigo 'As good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't' – Marie Claire In this story of family and food, grief and joy, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school; of struggling with her mother’s expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious and honest, Michelle Zauner’s voice is as alive as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes, Crying in H Mart is an audiobook to cherish and share. What readers are saying about Crying in H Mart: 'I recommend this for anyone who likes memoirs, food, and who’s ever felt lonely.' (Five Stars) 'I was captivated by this coming-of-age story which resonated with mine and other friends' stories.' (Five Stars) 'A must for people looking to be hooked in memories that span between joy, sadness and love.' (Five Stars) *Crying in H Mart was a #1 New York Times bestseller w/c 17.04.2023

Crying in H Mart

Una guida pratica ed essenziale per usare la sapienza taoista ed esprimere al massimo la propria creatività. La creatività è una facoltà che appartiene a tutti. Tuttavia, a volte, sembra così difficile essere creativi ed esprimere il proprio potenziale. Standard troppo alti da raggiungere, paura delle critiche, semplice rassegnazione o energie bloccate? Secondo le antiche teorie taoiste, un po’ tutto. Poiché tutto è energia in movimento, anche la creatività non fa eccezione. Se non c’è espressione creativa in qualche forma, significa che il normale ciclo energetico è semplicemente bloccato o malfunzionante in qualche punto. Con questo audiobook imparerai a individuare e superare i blocchi alla tua creatività e imparerai a esprimere la tua energia in tutto ciò che fai. Contenuto: Creare (e guarire) con il Tao

L’audiolibro contiene scene di violenza che potrebbero urtare un pubblico sensibile. Tutte le persone di cui si parla nelle scene di violenza descritte in queste pagine sono state realmente aggredite e malmenate, in un passato così scabroso e delirante da non poter essere rievocato che in forma romanzata, in un libro che porta all'estremo l'autofiction letteraria italiana. Sono cresciuti insieme, Patrizio, Angelo e Andrea. Sfrontati rampolli della "Romabene", vissuti nella consapevolezza di avere il diritto, sempre e comunque, di soddisfare i propri desideri. Figli modello di magistrati, professori e medici, sono teppisti, fascisti e psicopatici: praticano - con meticolosa e sistematica ferocia - atti di violenza su vittime indifese, quasi sempre scelte a caso. Risse, aggressioni, pestaggi. Sangue. Sangue su zigomi, mani e asfalto. Immacolate soltanto le camicie su misura (bianche o celesti, button down, cotone egiziano ritorto con cuciture doppie all'inglese), sacre per loro come le vacche per gli indiani. Ragazzi legati da un vincolo d'amicizia e di complicità che pare indissolubile ma che un'estate, ubriachi dopo la discoteca, un incidente rischia di compromettere per sempre: l'auto esce di strada tra il Circeo e l'Argentario, restando in bilico aggrappata a una roccia. Anni di feste, discoteche, stadio, trasferte, cori, risse e braccia tese - anni di vita condivisa - non bastano a farli restare uniti in una situazione che si aggrava col passare dei minuti. Pagine travolgenti. L'urlo di rabbia di ragazzi intrappolati nel silenzio di famiglie benestanti, tenute insieme da sorrisi di facciata. Anatomia di una generazione di psycopariolini. Una narrazione potente e maleducata che ha il coraggio di affrontare la violenza a viso aperto e di mostrare il rovescio delle cose: la meglio gioventù e i suoi peggiori istinti. La scrittura è netta, feroce, pulita, martellante.

Il pesto è cancerogeno. Lo zucchero bianco: per carità! Meglio quello di canna. Il glutammato fa malissimo... E gli spaghetti radioattivi? Ah no, io compro solo pane biologico, prodotti locali e di stagione. Quanta apprensione intorno alla nostra tavola. E quante bugie. Ma a chi dobbiamo credere? L’approssimazione in cucina non funziona, nemmeno per preparare un piatto di spaghetti. Meglio verificare quanto tv, web, giornali, radio ci propinano ogni giorno: mentre ci scanniamo sugli OGM in realtà già mangiamo frutta, verdura e cereali derivati da modificazioni genetiche indotte da radiazioni nucleari (perché nessuno lo dice?); abbiamo il terrore della chimica ma ci dimentichiamo che per esempio la vanillina è un estratto da una lavorazione del petrolio e che il caffè contiene sostanze cancerogene. Mostri come la fragola-pesce e altre diavolerie occupano il nostro immaginario, ma quali sono davvero i rischi che corriamo? Ecco un aiuto a non farsi ingannare da messaggi troppo facili ed emotivi. Ci guadagneremo in razionalità, salute e portafoglio.

Pane e bugie: La verità su ciò che mangiamo. I pregiudizi, gli interessi, i miti, le paure

«Ogni volta in cui le donne vengono ammazzate la reazione unanime è sempre quella di un composto, sommesso, quasi imbarazzato: "poverina"». Quando leggiamo la notizia di un femminicidio stiamo in realtà leggendo un'altra storia: quella di chi quel gesto l'ha compiuto, quasi mai di chi l'ha subito. Come se la vittima non fosse al centro della vicenda, e non potesse - neppure da morta - ricevere l'attenzione che le spetta. Un modello di narrazione che assolve retoricamente il carnefice, che giustifica la violenza già a partire dal titolo dell'articolo, che sceglie alcune parole e ne omette altre. La voce incendiaria di Carlotta Vagnoli spazza via in un solo colpo le formule con cui il giornalismo nostrano tende a occultare i meccanismi della società patriarcale, indicando uno dopo l'altro gli anelli di questa catena. E riesce a mostrarci come fare per spezzarla.

Kateryna ha 28 anni, ha fatto la modella, ha amici sparsi per l'Europa e all'inizio del 2022 spera che in Ucraina scoppi la guerra: «Non sono così vile da augurarmi di vivere sotto il ricatto di Vladimir Putin per anni, contando sul fatto che il compito di affrontarlo spetti poi a un'altra generazione invece che alla mia». Oggi Kateryna è un soldato. Assim ha 23 anni, studia Ingegneria aerospaziale all'università di Teheran e dal giorno in cui Mahsa Amini è morta, il 16 settembre 2022, con il suo gruppo ha cominciato a scrivere il nome di Mahsa nei bagni delle università e nei vagoni dei treni: «Non sapevamo a cosa stessimo dando inizio». Nabila è una campionessa di kick boxing, è lesbica ed è una conservatrice fedele alla Repubblica islamica, ma come molte donne religiose considera il caso di una ragazza fermata in una stazione della metro per un velo malmesso e riconsegnata cadavere pochi giorni dopo alla famiglia «un'onta collettiva e un'enormità contro Dio». Zarifa è cresciuta con l'idea che da grande avrebbe fatto politica ed è diventata adulta in un Afghanistan dove era possibile, dopo il 2001 e prima del 2021. Appartiene alla generazione che ha immaginato e poi iniziato a costruire la propria vita su presupposti incompatibili con i codici degli integralisti, quella che oggi si rifiuta di considerare il movimento dei talebani, «che esiste da meno tempo dei telefoni cellulari, che in tutto ha controllato il paese per sette anni non consecutivi», il proprio destino. Kateryna, Assim, Nabila e Zarifa sono solo alcuni dei protagonisti di questo viaggio. Cecilia Sala li ha seguiti alle feste e tra le bombe. Il risultato è un racconto corale, straziante, verissimo, che ci mostra in presa diretta «tre incendi che bruciano il mondo» e lo sconvolgono oltre i confini dei paesi in cui sono divampati.

Cosa significa, oggi, rimanere a vivere nei paesi dell'Appennino centrale? Chi è che ha scelto di ritornare e perché lo ha fatto? C'è ancora tempo e modo di provare a immaginarsi una rinascita di luoghi che la società e la politica non considerano più prioritari nella propria agenda? A queste e ad altre domande prova a rispondersi da tempo Savino Monterisi, che dopo Cronache della restanza torna a interrogarsi tra queste pagine, iniziando una nuova ricerca emozionale sulle orme dei sentieri di montagna e tra i vicoli dei piccoli centri dell'Abruzzo montano. In ogni pagina, e in ogni passo del suo racconto in cammino, si accompagnano così nuove istanze e vecchie conoscenze del territorio; "ritornanti" e comunità resistenti che non si sono mai arrese allo spopolamento, anziani di cui è fondamentale mantenere viva la memoria e giovani che hanno deciso di investire in nuove imprese agricole o nella ricezione turistica. Infinito restare è un viaggio alla scoperta del non conosciuto a portata di mano. Un "oggetto narrativo non identificato" in cui saggistica, reportage e narrazioni si intrecciano e si rincorrono permettendo all'autore di calare nella propria dimensione locale il concetto di "Restanza" sviluppato dall'antropologo calabrese Vito Teti; per far (ri)scoprire il territorio e per farlo (ri)conoscere osservandolo da una nuova prospettiva.

C’è un equivalente mentale di ogni oggetto o evento sul piano fisico. È il messaggio di questo potente saggio di Emmet Fox, uno dei leader spirituali più influenti del ventesimo secolo, pioniere del movimento del Nuovo Pensiero e ispiratore di molti autori contemporanei di crescita personale e motivazione, come Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks e Louise Hay. Con questo saggio Fox ci spiega che se desideriamo essere, fare o avere qualcosa, dobbiamo creare e mantenere una chiara immagine di questa cosa nelle nostre menti. Con un linguaggio diretto e numerosi esempi pratici, l’autore ti spiega come creare e rendere tangibile il tuo equivalente mentale e così manifestare la realtà che desideri.“Dopo duemila anni di cristianesimo tradizionale il mondo sta attraversando difficoltà disperate. Ma noi conosciamo la verità, e non giudichiamo dalle apparenze. Sappiamo che viviamo in un mondo mentale, e saperlo è la chiave della vita.” (Emmet Fox).

With the recent developments in computing technologies and the thriving research scene in Complexity Science, economists and other social scientists have become aware of a more flexible and promising alternative for modelling socioeconomic systems; one that, in contrast with neoclassical economics, advocates for the realism of the assumptions, the importance of context and culture, the heterogeneity of agents (individuals or organizations), and the bounded rationality of individuals who behave and learn in multifaceted ways in uncertain environments. The book synthesizes an extensive body of work in the field of social complexity and constructs a unifying framework that allows developing concrete applications to important socioeconomic problems. This one-of-a-kind textbook provides a comprehensive panorama for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who want to become familiar with a wide range of issues related to social complexity. It is also a pioneering text that can support professors who wish to learn techniques and produce research in this novel field. Con los desarrollos recientes en las tecnologías de la computación y el floreciente dinamismo de las ciencias de la complejidad, economistas y otros científicos sociales tienen a su alcance una flexible y prometedora alternativa para la modelación de los sistemas socioeconómicos. Esta metodología, en contraste con la economía neoclásica, aboga por el realismo de los supuestos, la importancia del contexto y la cultura, la heterogeneidad de los agentes (individuos y organizaciones), y la racionalidad acotada de las personas que se comportan y aprenden de maneras muy diversas en entorno con incertidumbre. El libro sintetiza la extensa literatura que existe sobre la complejidad social, y construye un enfoque unificador que permite elaborar aplicaciones concretas con las que abordar importantes problemas socioeconómicos. Se trata de un texto singular dado que presenta un panorama comprensivo del campo de estudio, por lo que puede resultar de sumo interés para estudiante de licenciatura avanzados, y alumnos de posgrado que desean adentrarse en el tema. Asimismo, se trata de un texto pionero de gran utilidad para profesores y analistas interesados en aprender algunas de las técnicas del paradigma de la complejidad social para, de esta forma, aplicarlas en sus tareas de investigación.

The Paradigm of Social Complexity

Una lucha feroz contra la camisa de fuerza impuesta a las mujeres por el patriarcado y las religiones Valiente, lúcida y sincera, Joumana Haddad aborda en El tercer sexo su obra más ambiciosa: un ensayo en el que apuesta por deconstruir la sociedad actual, asentada en valores y medidas artificiales como el dinero, la raza o el género, para reconstruirla a partir de aquello que es inherente al ser humano y que nos hace auténticos: nuestra humanidad. "Es sólo nuestra humanidad, es decir, nuestro 'núcleo' lo que hace que la comparación (e incluso la discriminación, me atrevería a decir) entre nosotros sea aceptable, en lugar de adoptar nuestras 'cortezas' como base para la evaluación. Con mucho gusto aceptaría vivir en un mundo en donde dijéramos: 'Esta persona es más humana que esa persona', pero no en uno en donde decimos: 'Esta persona es más blanca que esa persona'".

The New Negro is the title of the Alain Locke's essay inside the anthology of fiction, poetry, and essays on African and African-American art and literature "The New Negro: An Interpretation". Alain Leroy Locke (September 13, 1885 – June 9, 1954) was an American writer, philosopher, educator, and patron of the arts. Distinguished in 1907 as the first African-American Rhodes Scholar, Locke became known as the philosophical architect —the acknowledged "Dean"— of the Harlem Renaissance. He is frequently included in listings of influential African Americans. On March 19, 1968, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed: "We're going to let our children know that the only philosophers that lived were not Plato and Aristotle, but W. E. B. Du Bois and Alain Locke came through the universe."

In this engrossing book, she provides a plainspoken, big-picture look at the commonality of life on our planet, from the littlest microbes to the largest lizards. Inspired by the idea of symbiosis in evolution—that all living things evolve in a series of cooperative relationships—Thomas leads listeners on a journey through the progression of life. Along the way she shares the universal likenesses, experiences, and environments of “Gaia’s creatures,” from amoebas in plant soil to the pets we love, from proud primates to Homo sapiens hunter-gatherers on the African savanna. Fervently rejecting “anthropodenial,” the notion that nonhuman life does not share characteristics with humans, Thomas instead shows that paramecia can learn, plants can communicate, humans aren’t really as special as we think we are—and that it doesn’t take a scientist to marvel at the smallest inhabitants of the natural world and their connections to all living things. A unique voice on anthropology and animal behavior, Thomas challenges scientific convention and the jargon that prevents us all from understanding all living things better. Narrated by Thomas, this joyful book is a fascinating look at the challenges and behaviors shared by creatures from bacteria to larvae to parasitic fungi, a potted hyacinth to the author herself, and all those in between. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, an anthropologist and animal behaviorist, has published thirteen previous books, including the New York Times best seller "The Hidden Life of Dogs." She lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Learn more at elizabethmarshallthomas.net.

Choosing a profession begins with imagining yourself in a career: here are all the details you need to get started in the popular field of real estate—from salary expectations, regional challenges, and how to use social media to your lucrative advantage. What makes a great real estate agent? Is it just numbers? Sales volume? How do you get to the top of the market in boom times? How do you survive a soft market? What tools must you bring to the job? Is it at all like those reality shows on TV? Starting in his own backyard, Esquire writer Tom Chiarella explores the requisite skills needed to thrive in various real estate scenarios: a static buyer’s market in rural Indiana, a booming seller’s market in Seattle, and the incredibly high-end market of Chicago’s luxury high-rises. Forming a personal connection with each of his subjects, he watches them work in the front seat of their cars, at lunches, on street corners, and in the doorways of homes. What Chiarella discovers is that great real estate agents devote themselves to the job with a sense of craftsmanship. Showcasing the individual tools used to develop a successful real estate career, Becoming a Real Estate Agent profiles individuals who live a life of thrilling improvisation, action, and instinct—a life in which excellence is sometimes gauged by the ability to walk away from a commission when circumstance demands it.

The Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit describes collaborative learning as an approach which 'involves pupils working together on activities or learning tasks' and in such a way that enables 'everyone to participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned'. In the context of this book, Cooperative Learning relates to a number of such activities from simple memorising to more complex analysis and debating which are designed to boost learners' interdependence, participation and interaction. Drawing upon both research-informed theory and real-world examples, Jakob Werdelin and Drew Howard present both an insightful introduction to Cooperative Learning as a practice and philosophy and a practical guide to classroom application. The authors share their expertise on how to amplify the effect of current pedagogical approaches and schemes of work, simplify performance management as an empowering tool for teachers and leaders, and create an inclusive environment in which every pupil is able to fulfil their learning potential. Jakob and Drew also discuss how Cooperative Learning relates to a range of other aspects of teaching, including assessment, metacognition and Rosenshine's Principles. The book focuses on Catch1Partner as an exemplary Cooperative Learning Interaction Pattern (CLIP) as, by fully grasping the principles of staging and running Catch1Partner in its many forms, readers will then be better equipped with the foundational know-how to deploy other CLIPs, such as Sage and Scribe, Word-Round and Rotating Role Reading. The authors also provide a variety of ready-to-photocopy (and downloadable) sample teaching materials, tools, guidelines and an activity transcript in the appendices. Suitable for teachers and leaders in both primary and secondary school settings.

The world has too many governments that misunderstand and miscalculate the conditions of the poor. Poverty destroys everything that psychologically and physically makes a person whole and induces them to commit a crime for survival. Across the United States, we have citizens that cannot feed themselves or their children. The Republican politicians have lethargically responded to Americans living in abject conditions, by reducing their benefits and threatening them with joblessness. Republicans seem to worry about the federal deficit than about the poverty deficit that is leaving many Americans to suffer and die. Across America, politicians are asking Americans for their votes while their children are going to bed hungry at night.
