Albert Einstein no aprendió a leer hasta los siete años ni a hablar con fluidez hasta los nueve, su maestra lo calificó como "mortalmente lerdo". Le costó sangre, sudor y lágrimas acceder a la Escuela Politécnica... después de conseguirlo y finalizar su carrera, su tesis doctoral no causó la más mínima impresión al tribunal que la juzgó, de hecho, la consideraron "bastante mediocre". A pesar de ello Einstein acabó convirtiéndose en uno de los científicos más geniales del mundo, y como él, muchos genios en los más diversos ámbitos fueron también malos estudiantes:

Ci sono bambine che imparano presto a truccarsi, a sorridere, a essere simpatiche e maliziose. Sognano di fare le miss o le modelle. Hanno mamme disposte a guidare ore e ore nella notte per portarle a sfilare a Pitti Bimbo e padri capaci di organizzare tour de force per trovare il vestito adatto a un casting. Sono bambine di quattro, cinque, sei anni che popolano un mondo poco noto, spesso nascosto, che si declina attraverso riviste patinate, cataloghi e pubblicità.

Si su hijo ha de pensar adecuadamente, necesita que le enseñen a pensar. Si ha de resolver problemas, necesita adquirir la habilidad de resolverlos. Si ha de utilizar su cerebro de modo creativo, necesita practicar la creatividad intelectual. Y para todo ello precisa la suficiente motivación y confianza en sí mismo.

They are a mass migration of thousands, yet each one travels alone. Solito, Solita (Alone, Alone) is an urgent collection of oral histories that tells - in their own words - the story of young refugees fleeing countries in Central America and traveling for hundreds of miles to seek safety and protection in the United States. Fifteen narrators describe why they fled their homes, what happened on their dangerous journeys through Mexico, how they crossed the borders, and for some, their ongoing struggles to survive in the United States.

Weaving together philosophy, social science and neuroscience research, personal anecdotes and dialogues, The Philosophy of Childing takes a radically different approach to the traditional boundaries between childhood and adulthood to reveal how rather than lapse into adulthood, we can achieve what the Greeks arete - all-around excellence - when we look to children and youth as a lodestar for our development.

He is old enough to begin imagining that he will someday get married, but at 10 he is still convinced that the best thing about being married will be that he will be allowed to sleep in his clothes. His father once observed that living with Colin was like living with a Martian who had done some reading on American culture. As it happens, Colin is not especially sad or worried about the prospect of growing up, although he sometimes frets over whether he should be called a kid or a grown-up; he has settled on the word kid-up.

Almost Home tells the stories of six remarkable young people from across the United States and Canada as they confront life alone on the streets. Each eventually finds his or her way to Covenant House, the largest charity serving homeless and runaway youth in North America. From the son of a crack addict who fights his own descent into drug addiction, to a teen mother reaching for a new life, their stories veer between devastating and inspiring as they each struggle to find a place called home.

Connected at the chest by a band of flesh, Chang and Eng Bunker toured the United States and the world from the 1820s to the 1870s, placing themselves and their extraordinary bodies on exhibit as "freaks of nature". More famously known as the Siamese twins, they eventually settled in rural North Carolina, married two white sisters, became slave owners, and fathered 21 children between them. More than a biography of the twins, this is a study of 19th-century American culture and society that reveals how Americans projected onto the twins their own hopes and fears.

Imagine you are nine years old. Your best friend’s father is arrested, half your classmates disappear from school, and someone burns down the house across the road. Imagine you have to cross a snow-covered mountain range at night in order to escape the soldiers who are trying to kill you. How would you deal with these memories once you are an adult? Jones, a relief worker and child psychiatrist, interviewed over 40 Serb and Muslim children who came of age during the Bosnian War and now returns, 20 years after the war began, to discover the adults they have become.

Baby X is a shocking and unforgettable story of how some of the UK's most disadvantaged children escaped their tormentors - and explains why some cases, similar to that of Baby P's, ended in tragedy. When super-tough cop Sergeant Harry Keeble announced he was joining Hackney's ailing Child Protection Team in 2000, his colleagues were astounded. Known as the 'Cardigan Squad', its officers were seen as glorified social workers dealing with domestics. The reality was very different.

What is new about how teenagers communicate through services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Do social media affect the quality of teens' lives? In this eye-opening book, youth culture and technology expert Danah Boyd uncovers some of the major myths regarding teens' use of social media. She explores tropes about identity, privacy, safety, danger, and bullying. Ultimately, Boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers' ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions.

Granted unprecedented access to the Los Angeles Juvenile Court, including the judges, the probation officers, and the children themselves, Edward Humes creates an unforgettable portrait of a chaotic system that is neither saving our children in danger nor protecting us from adolescent violence. Yet he shows us there is also hope in the handful of courageous individuals working tirelessly to triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds.

No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply - some would say totally - involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be “app-dependent” versus “app-enabled” and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era.

Attracting tens of thousands of men and women hoping to strike it rich, the Klondike gold rush brought with it a frenzy of activity unlike anything the world had ever seen. The few children who lived in Dawson City and its surrounding mining camps had front-row seats to this treasure hunt of the century - and to all the antics that a lust for gold brought with it. In this, her companion book to the best-selling Women of the Klondike, Frances Backhouse explores the experiences of the children who followed their parents north in search of fortune or were born in the goldfields.

Every year, more than 3.5 million children under age 15 require medical treatment for sports injuries, nearly half of which are the result of simple overuse. Journalist Mark Hyman investigates the evolution of youth sports from mere games to full-on quests to turn children into tomorrow's superstar athletes by pushing them beyond physical and emotional limits. Opening up a crucial discussion about the perils of youth-sports culture today, Hyman offers the solutions and answers we need.

Las infancias son libres. Deben serlo. En esta serie volvemos a ser niñes gracias a ensayos escritos con las manos, pero también con el corazón, tomando la ternura radical como fuerza erradicadora del adultocentrismo. En infancias libres hacemos dos manifiestos por les niñes, honramos a las infancias diversas, a aquellas que injustamente han perdido su libertad; pero también, a las infancias que crecieron, como muchxs de nosotrxs, lastimadxs. Así, formulamos un diccionario de la no violencia para por fin dar a les niñes el lugar que merecen.
