Spot-on, often satirical, always insightful, contributing editor of The American Mind and mother of a brood Peachy Keenan argues that the only way we can save our families, ourselves, and the world—even California!—is by embracing our inner domestic extremists, and sweeping failed notions of third wave feminism and identity politics nonsense into the garbage can of history.

The existence of free will - our ability to choose between one course of action and another, to determine our own destiny - is a foundation stone of Western society, dictating our notions of fairness and justice, punishment and reward, our very identity as individuals and humans. But as world-renowned scientist Robert Sapolsky shows, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that free will exists, even while everything in our biology leads us to believe that it does.

La guerre, pour reprendre l'expression du général Le Borgne, serait « morte à Hiroshima » il y a plus d'un demi-siècle. Et pourtant elle n'a jamais cessé. Actes terroristes, conflits israélo-palestiniens et moyen-orientaux, implosion de la Yougoslavie, pays déchirés par les factions, sans même parler des autres guerres : économiques, psychologiques, informatiques, guerres des sexes ou des générations.

La Maternitat d’Elna descobreix un dels capítols més dramàtics, tendres i desconeguts de la nostra postguerra. Entre 1939 i 1944, la suïssa Elisabeth Eidenbenz va salvar la vida de 597 infants. Eren els fills de les exiliades catalanes i espanyoles que malvivien en condicions penoses als caps de refugiats republicans de Sant Cebrià de Rosselló, Argeleres i Ribesaltes, i que van tenir la sort de ser acollides a la maternitat que va crear Eidenbenz.

La humanitat està arribant a un punt de no retorn. La nostra forma de viure està portant el món i l’espècie al límit i només tenim dues opcions: o ens repensem i ens humanitzem o ens extingirem. Encara hi som a temps, però la necessitat d’un gran canvi col·lectiu és urgent. No serà possible sobreviure sense modificar de manera profunda la nostra forma de pensar, de relacionar-nos i de viure.

Henry at Work invites listeners to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard—surveying land, running his family's pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond—and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions.

'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, have not solved the puzzle. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. In Lifescapes, the acclaimed biographer and obituarist Ann Wroe reflects on a career spent pursuing life: a process, as she sees it, not of chronological narration but of trying to seize souls.

We all have a certain role to play in what we want the world to look like. What the world looks and feels like today is because of our actions—or inactions; there is always a price to pay for both. The need to understand that we are responsible for what the world is today cannot be overemphasized.

Audiolibro producido con música original y sonido 3D, el mismo está diseñado para ser escuchado con auriculares. El Anticristo es una de las últimas obras del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche. Aunque fue escrito en 1888, su controvertido contenido hizo que Franz Overbeck y Heinrich Köselitz retrasaran su publicación, junto con Ecce homo, hasta 1895.El libro es una crítica del cristianismo en conjunto, y de conceptos modernos como el igualitarismo y la democracia, a los cuales ve como consecuencia persistente de los ideales cristianos.

La sensibilidad no es un fenómeno nuevo; ocupa en la historia de nuestra sociedad un papel importante como motor del progreso civilizador. La urbanización y la tecnificación hacen al ser humano más sensible, porque al ampliarse el acceso a los derechos se agudiza también la percepción de las injusticias y de las vulneraciones que estas causan. Sin embargo, las posiciones al respecto se vuelven cada vez más rígidas: liberales e igualitarios, gente de derechas y de izquierdas, viejos y jóvenes, se enfrentan y propician una erosión creciente de la cultura democrática del discurso.

More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy.

Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities.
