Questo ragazzo deve tutto al suo nome diceva di lui Marco Antonio, che lo disprezzava, a torto sottovalutandolo. Però era vero, e Augusto ne era talmente consapevole da affrettarsi a promuovere, non appena gli fu possibile, la divinizzazione di Giulio Cesare, padre suo adottivo, come caposaldo del suo potere. Il capolavoro di Augusto è stato imporre l'immagine di sé come vero e coerente erede e continuatore dell'opera di Cesare, ormai divinizzato, mentre in realtà la trasformava, se non nel suo contrario, certo in altro.

Paranoid about the “ums” and “uhs” that pepper your presentations? Concerned that people notice your vocal fry? Bewildered by “hella” or the meteoric rise of “so”? In Like, Literally, Dude, linguist Valerie Fridland shows how we can re-imagine these forms as exciting new linguistic frontiers rather than our culture’s impending demise. With delightful irreverence and expertise, Fridland weaves together history, psychology, science, and anecdotes to explain why we speak the way we do today, and how that impacts what our kids may be saying tomorrow.

One of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? While the science behind this inquiry is fascinating, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope. In The Possibility of Life, acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets. Along the way, she interweaves insights from science fiction writers who construct worlds that in turn inspire scientists.

America the Beautiful? is a hilarious trip into the mind of one of the Millennial generation’s funniest writers. Borrowing her Midwestern stepfather’s Prius, she heads west to the Loop of mega-popular parks, over to the ocean and down the Pacific Coast Highway, and, in a feat of spectacularly bad timing, through the southwestern desert in the middle of July. Along the way she meets new friends on their own personal quests, learns to cope with abstinence while missing the comforts of home.

Il cane giusto (un bassotto con "amici" selezionatissimi). Le vacanze giuste (una scelta di campo: Santa o Forte?). La scuola giusta per il figlio (in lingua straniera, of course). La festa di Natale giusta (verso metà ottobre, per battere l'affollamento di inviti festivi). E gli abbinamenti cromatici da evitare, il galateo delle comunicazioni via WhatsApp, gli indirizzi da avere in agenda, i quartieri dove cercare casa, i mestieri socialmente accettabili, la cura di sé tra estratti di verdure e indispensabile "idratazione"... mettetevi comode, perché essere milanese è un lavoro a tempo pieno.

In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides listeners through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream white male American culture.

If you end an evening by slapping your thighs and saying, “Welp, I’ll go ahead and get outta your hair,” then you don’t need this guide, but you sure as heck might like it. Full of common Midwestern phrases (and what they really mean behind the friendly facade), A Guide to Midwestern Conversation is an affectionate, self-deprecating look at the language of a people long defined by their kindness and reduced to their voting patterns.

Gli spaccapietre cinesi, i braccianti macedoni, le badanti ucraine, i rider africani, i bengalesi nei cantieri navali, gli allevatori sikh. Da una parte la necessità delle aziende di competere a livello globale sui mercati, dall’altra la rivoluzione digitale, da un’altra ancora la possibilità di usufruire di servizi e merci a prezzi bassi ci portano a nuove forme di schiavismo, più sottili, più opache, talvolta legalizzate.

Omarm de Japanse leer van de onvolmaaktheid. Japanners zijn al eeuwen bekend met de filosofie van wabi sabi, dat zoiets betekent als: niets of niemand is volmaakt, voltooid of eeuwig. Je bereikt pas geluk door zaken te aanvaarden zoals ze zijn – bijvoorbeeld door je verbonden te voelen met de natuur, of een gevoel van rust te ervaren dat je overkomt bij een mooie zonsondergang aan zee.

Dieses Buch will den Leser einen neuen Blick auf die Großen Arkana des Tarot werfen lassen und ihn auch anleiten, einen Weg des inneren Wachstums und der Bewusstwerdung zu gehen. Die Großen Arkana zeigen uns den Weg zum Erwachen und zum Glück. Das mag zu vollmundig klingen, aber diese Lehren sind ganz spezifisch und revolutionär, wenn wir sie verstehen. Sie reden nicht von spirituellen Allgemeinplätzen, wie sie manchmal im New Age zusammengerührt wurden, sondern weisen uns auf den schmalen Pfad hin, den nur wenige finden.

Die legendäre Stimme von Achim Höppner (Gandalf/Herr der Ringe) führt Igor durch einen Reigen traditioneller Kinderlieder, gesungen vom Kinderchor des Gärtnerplatz-Theaters München.

Il mito delle origini è quello che ci fa pensare che esista un punto magico della storia in cui tutto prende forma, tutto comincia e tutto si spiega; il punto in cui si cela l'intimo segreto della nostra identità. Ma perché quello delle origini è solo un mito? Il fatto è che le origini, di per sé, spiegano poco: l'identità nasce dalla storia, da come quelle origini si sviluppano, crescono, cambiano attraverso incontri e incroci spesso imprevedibili.

In her first book, How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the “attention economy” to spend time in quiet contemplation. But how can we reclaim our time? In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently.

This unlikely duo then goes on a sweeping, roundtrip adventure through basketball history, starting at the very beginning: Springfield, 1891.
