Grounded Greatness argues that the future of urban mobility lies not in expensive tunnels or elitist air taxis, but in surface-level public transit. Buses, trains, and last-mile solutions—when digitally integrated—offer the most scalable, equitable, and sustainable way to move people in dense cities. Drawing on global case studies, the book shows how data, AI, unified payments, and people-first design can dramatically improve access and efficiency. It makes the case for reclaiming streets as civic spaces, promoting mobility justice, and shifting investment toward systems that serve everyone.

L'educazione sentimentale è una pratica personale, che riguarda innanzitutto la cura della propria intimità. È un processo di analisi e risoluzione dei condizionamenti subiti e dei propri bias cognitivi. Educare a riconoscere pulsioni, emozioni e sentimenti e a capire come relazionarsi con le altre persone non può prevedere dunque un percorso uguale per tutti.

Nos anos 1970, os evangélicos representavam apenas 5% dos brasileiros; hoje, são um terço da população adulta do país e, segundo estatísticos, superarão os católicos na próxima década.

In 2017, sociologist Ranita Ray stepped inside a fourth-grade classroom in one of the nation’s largest majority-minority districts in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was there to conduct research on the lack of resources and budget cuts that regularly face public schools. However, a few months into her immersion, a disturbed Ray recognized that that greatest impediment to students was the “slow violence” that preys on their minds, bodies, and spirits at the hands of teachers and administrators who are charged with their care.

El autor retoma el relato de una vida de desamparo y violencia la noche en que a los dieciséis años, herido de varios balazos, entra a un instituto de menores.

Tras las rejas, las voces de otros pibes quieren captarlo para uno de los dos bandos enemigos que manejan el instituto de menores.
