Questo libro è un ponte. Unisce il passato, quello di tutti, e il futuro, quello di ciascuno. In un mondo incerto e competitivo, spazzato da venti di guerra, crisi politiche ed emergenze, spesso l'avvenire fa paura, ma c'è un modo preciso per non lasciarsene sopraffare: progettarlo, giorno per giorno, seguendo dieci semplici mosse. Le dieci mosse suggerite da Farinetti sono passi di una costruzione che non si improvvisa e che non si compie da soli: occorre un'intelligenza collettiva che può nascere solo da una profonda cultura condivisa.

From the earliest cave paintings to the present day, humans and deer have a long and complex history. Royal harts were the coveted quarry of European kings, while the first Americans relied on deer for everything from buckskins to arrow heads. Once hunted to the point of extinction in some parts of the world, deer numbers have exploded in recent years, causing tension between scientists and conservationists. And yet, this is our own story, as the fortune of deer is inextricably bound up with the actions that we humans take on the world around us.

Most employers in the United States routinely conduct criminal background checks on job applicants, weeding out those with criminal convictions.

Now, in The Rules That Make Us, Sweet shows us how to strengthen our own cultural intelligence.

Pendant un mois, et jusqu'au jour du verdict du procès dit " des viols de Mazan ", un collectif d'anthropologues s'est installé à Avignon pour mener ensemble une enquête ethnographique inédite. Le parti-pris de départ était de considérer ce procès comme un " évènement ", concept fertile en sciences sociales – mais aussi en littérature comme l'a montré Annie Ernaux – pour mettre en lumière un basculement ou une pliure dans l'ordre des choses.

Imagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their rules, their societies and their futures. In reality, all-women communities have always existed, and continue to thrive all over the world. She also takes us into today's women-led spaces, where women live on their own terms, showing us how we can rethink society for new ways of living, working and collaborating, often with less of a profit-driven mindset and a deeper connection to ancestry and nature.

In Goliath’s Curse, Cambridge scholar Luke Kemp conducts a historical autopsy on our species, from the earliest cities to the collapse of modern states like Somalia. He traces the emergence of “Goliaths”: large societies built on a collection of hierarchies that are also terrifyingly fragile, collapsing time after time across the world.

Homo Exul indaga en la pregunta de por qué, en un momento preciso de la historia, los homínidos dejaron de cooperar y comenzaron a mostrar conductas violentas. Defiende, además, que la mayoría de dolencias y enfermedades crónicas que hoy nos afectan (desde la obesidad hasta el alzhéimer) son consecuencia de ese mismo proceso evolutivo que, por fuerza, conllevó importantes cambios sociales y alimenticios en adultos, niños y lactantes. Lanza, además, una importante pregunta: ¿estamos a tiempo de revertir estas marcas evolutivas y convertirnos de nuevo en una sociedad cooperativa?

We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive.

When Ryan Dennis’s father was crushed by heavy machinery on their New York dairy farm, both men accepted the accident as a risk of agricultural life. But it was harder to comprehend being crushed by low milk prices, big banks, and the policies that destroyed America’s family farms.

Con lo stesso acume e la stessa curiosità che l'ha portato a scrivere Ghostland, Dickey intraprende questo viaggio attraverso i simboli delle più incomprensibili teorie, fino a capire cosa spinga l'essere umano a inventarne continuamente di nuove: il tentativo di trovare un senso a un mondo pieno di meraviglia.

A queste e a tante altre domande prova a rispondere Riccardo Vedovato, che con nove storie esemplari indaga la natura umana attraverso il prisma dell'antropologia culturale, smontando preconcetti e stereotipi e svelando sorprendenti paradossi nelle nostre abitudini quotidiane. Con una narrazione avvincente e ricca di casi storici, aneddoti e riferimenti alla cultura pop, questo libro affronta i concetti di identità, folklore (e fakelore), il valore degli oggetti e il significato dei rituali sociali.

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend.

Wolfram Eilenberger legt erneut ein erzählerisches Meisterwerk vor, das Geschichte und Philosophie auf einzigartige Weise verbindet.
