Una dodicenne partecipa a una sfida lanciata sui social, va a scuola con una borraccia piena di vodka e finisce in coma etilico. Un bambino, scrollando TikTok, si imbatte in un gioco che consiste nel prendere più pastiglie di paracetamolo possibile e finisce in ospedale. La maestra di una scuola elementare muore in un incidente stradale causato dall'autista del pullman su cui viaggiava: l'uomo, invece di guardare la strada, digitava sul cellulare. Attraverso storie come queste a tratti scioccanti, Carlo Verdelli racconta una rivoluzione che sta modificando nel profondo tanto gli adolescenti quanto gli adulti.

The Origin of Humanity: Evolution and Beyond is a wide-ranging philosophical and scientific exploration of how humanity emerged and what that emergence reveals about the nature of existence.

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.

For most of human history, life offered no safety net. Environments shifted, resources vanished, and stability was always temporary.

Más que un estudio, este libro es un autorretrato: la selfi íntima y aguda de una generación. Una generación, como nos señala Valentina Vapaux, que no se define tanto por hábitos o posturas particulares, sino por una serie de contradicciones esenciales. Las y los jóvenes de la generación Z encuentran conexión y sentido de pertenencia en internet y las redes sociales, pero, al mismo tiempo, el mundo virtual resulta una fuente inagotable de ansiedad y depresión. Valoran altamente su individualidad, pero se mueven en una sociedad en la que las personas son intercambiables, reemplazables.

The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet. Retelling human history from an oceanic rather than terrestrial point of view unsettles our relationship with the natural environment. Our engagement with the world's oceans can be destructive, as with today's deluge of plastic trash and acidification, but the mismatch between small bodies and vast seas also emphasizes the frailty and resilience of human experience.

It's exhausting being Irish. The constant self-flagellation is enough to put anybody off their breakfast. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Is it the postcolonial overhang following centuries of oppression at the hands of a litany of foreign invaders? Or is it collective guilt for sending Westlife out into the wider world? In Surviving Ireland, acclaimed comedy writer Colm Tobin takes the listener by the hand for a satirical romp through modern Irish life.

A Medieval Life offers a biography of one woman, a portrait of her world, and an introduction to historical method. Written in a clear and accessible style, it reworks a well-loved book to provide an entirely new resource for students, teachers, and general listeners. Like Cecilia Penifader, most people in the Middle Ages were peasants, humble people living socially below the knights, bishops, and kings who figure so large in history books. Judith M. Bennett shows that peasants, too, made history.
