Meet the Female Chauvinist Pig - the new brand of "empowered woman" who wears the Playboy bunny as a talisman, bares all for Girls Gone Wild, pursues casual sex as if it were a sport, and embraces "raunch culture". If male chauvinist pigs of years past thought of women as pieces of meat, Female Chauvinist Pigs of today are doing them one better. They think they're being brave, they think they're being funny, but in Female Chauvinist Pigs, Ariel Levy asks if the joke is on them.

Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors, then forced to descend into the "mouth of hell" of 18th-century silver mines or, later, made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos.

Conventional wisdom holds that same-sex marriage is a purely modern innovation, a concept born of an overtly modern lifestyle that was unheard of in 19th-century America. But as Rachel Hope Cleves demonstrates in this eye-opening book, same-sex marriage is hardly new. Born in 1777, Charity Bryant was raised in Massachusetts. A brilliant and strong-willed woman with a clear attraction for her own sex, Charity found herself banished from her family home at age 20.

Follow along as Ada Calhoun and Audible editor Courtney Reimer—both Gen X women living the chaos and joy Calhoun chronicles in her new work, Why We Can't Sleep — go about their busy days to illustrate the universality of the modern midlife crisis.

At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Linkedln sono ormai termini entrati nel lessico quotidiano e sempre più spesso capita di sentire persone che ci chiedono se abbiamo una pagina su Facebook o se siamo iscritti a questo o quel gruppo.

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.

Da quando ChatGPT e altri programmi le hanno dato un volto nuovo e più umano, di intelligenza artificiale parlano tutti e spesso a sproposito, dando corda a eccessivi entusiasmi o paure infondate. E così questa tecnologia, che già usiamo da anni, continua a sembrarci imperscrutabile. Francesca Rossi si occupa di intelligenza artificiale da tempi non sospetti. Pochi sanno spiegare in maniera chiara e obiettiva come lei i meccanismi dietro a reti neurali, large language model e deep learning, i fenomeni come allucinazioni e deepfake o le questioni etiche legate all’IA.

" J'ai décidé de publier le cours de mon frère pour lui rendre sa dignité d'homme et de professeur. Parce que ce cours est la raison pour laquelle mon frère est mort, et que vous ignorez tout de son contenu. Vous ne savez pas que c'est dans le cadre de cet enseignement, inscrit au programme de quatrième, que Samuel a montré des caricatures. Je le publie aussi parce que j'ai entendu trop de " Oui, mais. " Or en France, on ne met pas de " Oui, mais " après qu'un professeur se soit fait décapiter. On met un point. ".

Immaginate un mondo in cui ognuno sia libero di esprimere la propria sessualità. Dove la vita sessuale di una donna non è oggetto di scrutinio. Dove chi ha trent’anni e non vuole figli non deve subire pressioni. Dove il ‘maschio alfa’ non è l’unico modello per un uomo. È un mondo dove le persone queer non sono considerate ‘diverse’. Dove ogni corpo è bello e degno di esistere. Cultura dello stupro e sessismo sono un brutto ricordo. Un mondo dove di sesso si parla anche a scuola, nei programmi di educazione sessuale e affettiva. Questo mondo non è ancora qui.

Ci sono storie che sono come pugni nello stomaco. Sono storie difficili da ascoltare e ancora più difficili da raccontare, ma una volta iniziate, è impossibile tornare indietro. Come succede in questo libro, dove si resta agganciati alle parole di Pablo Trincia, uno dei più abili storyteller di oggi, che qui apre scorci su vite distanti dalle nostre, ma solo per un caso fortuito. Ragazze e ragazzi di nazionalità, culture e fedi diverse, accomunati però da un unico e universale desiderio: poter vivere liberi e al sicuro.
