A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: what does it mean to be human? What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009.

This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered.

Após desligar-se de sua gravadora, Amanda recorreu ao então recém-lançado Kickstarter, site de financiamento coletivo, para conclamar os fãs a colaborar financeiramente para a produção do próximo álbum de sua banda. O projeto arrecadou mais de 1 milhão de dólares, recorde que chamou atenção tanto da imprensa como da indústria fonográfica. Desse episódio surgiu o convite para uma celebrada palestra nos TED Talks. O tema: saber pedir.

En el corazón desgastado de un gimnasio de barrio, donde el sudor se mezcla con los sueños, un padre y sus dos hijos luchan por conseguir llegar a la cima. Él entrena, ellos pelean. El boxeo es mucho más que darse de golpes encima de un ring: la disciplina, el sacrificio, el esfuerzo y la constancia son los pilares que lo construyen. Estos son los valores que Carlos Sánchez, entrenador de referencia en los últimos años, ha tenido que aprender, muchas veces a la fuerza, hasta que han quedado marcados a fuego en su cabeza.

El Director es un retrato íntimo de las encrucijadas éticas, las relaciones personales, las amistades y deslealtades que se viven cuando se ocupa el despacho de uno de los grandes diarios del país. David Jiménez hizo carrera cubriendo guerras, desastres y revoluciones durante casi dos décadas antes de ser nombrado director de El Mundo. Lo que parecía un reto ilusionante - dirigir el diario en el que entró como becario a los 23 años.

When leading Princeton physicist Paul Steinhardt began working in the 1980s, scientists thought they knew all the conceivable forms of matter. The Second Kind of Impossible is the story of Steinhardt’s 35-year-long quest to challenge conventional wisdom. It begins with a curious geometric pattern that inspires two theoretical physicists to propose a radically new type of matter - one that raises the possibility of new materials with never-before-seen properties but that violates laws set in stone for centuries.

In 1978, while working as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine, Audible founder and CEO Don Katz wrote a cover story about Jane Fonda. In the article, Don Katz wrote, "No actor in Hollywood had stepped out to the beat of so many drummers and still had a career." Jane Fonda has quoted this line many times since then. Now, she has a new memoir, My Life So Far, and it has provided Don Katz and Jane Fonda a chance to sit down again to talk about her life.

This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

¿Quién fue realmente Miguel de Cervantes? ¿Un genio literario o un aventurero con más intereses en el comercio que en las letras? ¿Por qué fue un escritor tardío? Soldado en Lepanto, cautivo en Argel, comerciante y cobrador de impuestos, Cervantes vivió entre aventuras y constantes reinvenciones, con una vida marcada por intrigas, dudas sobre su fe y relaciones tan misteriosas como polémicas.

Washington, DC, was in the grips of a historic snowstorm on January 13, 1982 that gridlocked the city when Air Florida 90 crashes into a bridge jammed with traffic and plunges into the iced-over Potomac River. 6 people survive the crash, clinging to wreckage in the icy river as a Park Police helicopter risks a daring rescue in nearly whiteout conditions. As the rescue is taking place, DC’s Metro system suffers its first fatal derailment nearby, with dozens injured.

L’astronoma Ipazia, vissuta ad Alessandria nel V secolo d.C., teorizzò in modo inaudito per l’epoca che la Terra non è il centro dell’universo ma un pianeta che gira intorno al Sole. E divenne ben presto vittima dei fanatici cristiani. «Oggi» scrive Dacia Maraini «a quasi duemila anni di distanza ci sono ancora donne che soffrono come lei per la semplice ragione che hanno pensato con la propria testa, che hanno voluto studiare, indagare e opporsi al totalitarismo.» Sono donne maltrattate, insultate, minacciate, che spesso hanno denunciato la violenza domestica, ma non sono state credute.

For fans of The Lost City of Z, Walking the Amazon, and Turn Right at Machu Picchu comes naturalist and explorer Paul Rosolie’s extraordinary adventure in the uncharted tributaries of the Western Amazon—a tale of discovery that vividly captures the awe, beauty, and isolation of this endangered land and presents an impassioned call to save it.

Em Rusciano has some stories to tell! In the space of a few short years, she quit breakfast radio, birthed her third child and staged a sold-out tour across the country – all before being hurled headfirst into the existential crisis of lockdowns. She felt everything at full volume: the burnout, the joy, the rage ... and a deeply inconvenient urge to get into craft.

Il 'delitto Matteotti', di cui quest'anno ricorrono i cento anni, è stato senza dubbio il più grande 'caso' della storia italiana. All'inizio dobbiamo analizzare la scena del crimine, sul lungotevere di un afoso pomeriggio romano, e descrivere la meccanica del delitto.

Las terribles imágenes grabadas en el puerto de Barbate la noche del 9 de febrero de 2024 fueron un aldabonazo para la sociedad española. Ese día descubrimos cómo los narcos del Estrecho, con naves más rápidas y sofisticadas, embestían y hundían una zodiac de la Guardia Civil, asesinando a dos guardias e hiriendo a otros dos.

El célebre autor Ta-Nehisi Coates vuelve con un oportuno libro sobre sus viajes a tres lugares en conflicto —Dakar, Carolina del Sur y Palestina— en el que explora cómo las historias que contamos, y las que no, conforman nuestras realidades.

Olivia Laing ha quarantadue anni quando diventa proprietaria per la prima volta di un giardino. È un giardino trascurato da tempo| come sembrano indicare i nodi dei rampicanti che coprono i mattoni rossi| gli alberi da frutto marcescenti e le rose dai colori sbiaditi. Fino a quel momento| la sua aspirazione botanica si era manifestata solo in un sogno ricorrente: una porta che conduce verso un luogo sconosciuto| in cui lei| priva di peso| si ritrova ad abitare un territorio nuovo| ricco di potenzialità.

El legado de España en América es colosal, una simbiosis trascendental de la que emergen una historia, una raza, unas tradiciones y una filosofía vital híbridas que conforman una de las grandes culturas del mundo occidental: la civilización hispánica. La obra de España en el Nuevo Mundo es aún muy desconocida, pese a que el sorprendente descubrimiento de un continente hasta entonces ignoto revolucionó la realidad geográfica y el orden vigente del mundo medieval.
