Questo libro che il Mulino ripubblica in una nuova edizione rivista è un'opera importante sulla guerra: non solo e non tanto dal punto di vista dell'evoluzione tecnica e strategica ma anche e soprattutto da quello dell'ideologia e della mentalità: insomma della sua "cultura": com'era, quale posto aveva nella vita delle società, come la vivevano gli uomini che la facevano e la subivano.

I grandi partiti popolari vivono oggi una crisi profonda, dopo aver segnato ininterrottamente la vita politica italiana fino al crollo della Prima Repubblica. Il vuoto di consenso e di proposte che hanno lasciato ha creato uno spazio per un linguaggio diverso, più diretto, che ha favorito l'ascesa, apparentemente inarrestabile, di forze populiste. Pietro Folena, politico e operatore culturale, indaga le ragioni di questo cambiamento in un saggio che ricostruisce gli ultimi trent'anni della politica italiana.

In this engrossing memoir, Marion Nestle reflects on how she achieved late-in-life success as a leading advocate for healthier and more sustainable diets.

Digital durchgefallen, Umweltwissen mangelhaft, Zukunftskompetenz verbesserungswürdig: Unser Bildungssystem braucht dringend ein Update, das hat spätestens die Coronapandemie gezeigt. Die langjährige Schulleiterin Margret Rasfeld plädiert für regelmäßige Freiräume, in denen ein anderes Lernen erprobt werden kann und Schüler*innen eigene Projekte verfolgen. Das bereitet sie nicht nur deutlich besser auf die Arbeitswelt vor, sondern lässt sie auch erfahren, welches Können und welche Interessen in ihnen stecken. So sind aktuelle Themen nicht mehr Problem, sondern Programm.

Hybrid war, grey-zone warfare, unrestricted war: Today, traditional conflict - fought with guns, bombs, and drones - has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.

Oggi in Europa viviamo in società sempre più disomogenee. Le tensioni e i conflitti etnici, religiosi e culturali che attraversano centri e periferie impongono la ricerca di nuove forme di convivenza. Secondo Cinzia Sciuto, la strada da percorrere per una società capace di tenere insieme disomogeneità culturale e diritti delle persone è quella di una visione etica e politica radicalmente laica. Ma che cosa significa essere laici?

La relación entre la comida y las ciudades es fundamental para nuestra vida cotidiana. La comida da forma a las ciudades y, a través de ellas, nos moldea, junto con el campo, que nos alimenta. Podría decirse que alimentar ciudades tiene un mayor impacto social y físico sobre nosotros y nuestro planeta que cualquier otra cosa que hagamos. Pero pocos de nosotros en Occidente somos conscientes del proceso. La comida aparece como por arte de magia y rara vez nos detenemos a preguntarnos cómo podría haber llegado allí.

Cosa accade negli allevamenti e nei macelli del nostro Paese? È veramente sicuro ciò che mangiamo? In un'inchiesta sull'industria italiana della carne e dei formaggi dell'eccellenza "Made in Italy", Giulia Innocenzi affianca animalisti, veterinari e allevatori per svelare un mondo oscuro in cui gli animali sopravvivono a malapena in spazi microscopici, sporchi, senz'aria; costretti a vere e proprie torture, malati e imbottiti di antibiotici che finiscono sulle nostre tavole.

L'amélioration de la santé humaine est une anomalie à l'échelle de l'évolution. Pendant des dizaines de milliers d'années, les humains ne vivaient pas plus de trente ans en moyenne. La grande extension de notre espérance de vie a commencé autour des années 1750 en Occident. Lente mais continue, elle est principalement due à la désinfection et à une meilleure alimentation. C'est ainsi que, en deux siècles, notre longévité a doublé. Depuis 1950, les progrès de la médecine et de la pharmacie ont permis de gagner encore vingt-cinq années de vie.

O movimento cresceu, ganhou adeptos incondicionais e adversários ferrenhos. Porém, mais importante do que evocar adjetivos apaixonados é ampliar o debate sobre a ética profissional docente: o que professores podem e devem fazer na sala de aula?

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios.

Their conceptual framework promises to shape the debate within current and future administrations as they attempt to rethink the welfare system and its role in American society.
