When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

It is difficult to realize that the Earth on which Alexander the Great was born was the same in its main outlines as the Earth on which we stand today, and at the same time to realize how very different from our present knowledge were men's ideas then of its area. Even modern writers picture Alexander as primitive in his notions, and it will be interesting to remember, when we find him anxious to press ever farther east and south, that the philosophers of his time, especially his teacher Aristotle, had just announced new arguments to prove that the Earth was spherical in form.

From a political and military point of view, the Partisan Diary provides firsthand knowledge of how the partisans in Piedmont fought, what obstacles they encountered, and who joined the struggle against the Nazis and the Fascists. The mountainous terrain and long winters of the Alpine regions (the site of many of their battles) and the ever-present threat of reprisals by German occupiers and their fascist partners exacerbated problems of organization among the various partisan groups.

The intriguing thing about our dreams is we're always the "Star". Comedy, romance, murder mystery, drama, documentary of a heroine - there we are in the middle of everything. When we're awake we also star in our dreams.

Whether the story is a tragedy or a cherished classic depends on who we want to become and if we pursue our dreams.

The words had chilled Cole when he'd heard the young Abigail utter them, her teeth chattering as she recovered from exposure to below-freezing temperatures. With her mangled bicycle in the back of his truck, Cole had taken on more than he had ever dreamed when he'd stopped to help the lost and lonely 19-year-old. Her teddy bear peeking out from her backpack paired with the thickly padded diaper she wore beneath her short skirt told him everything he needed to know to make his heart long to make her his.

After getting another "lateral promotion", it's suggested that Arthur try to "make friends" and "get noticed" in order to move up the ladder. It's like high school all over again: His attempts to be friendly come across as awkward and creepy, and no one wants to sit at the same table with him at lunch. In a last-ditch attempt to be seen as friendly and outgoing, he decides to make friends with The Alien, aka Agent Martin Grove.

"Sorelle" (raccolta di racconti pubblicata nel 1929) è l'affresco di un universo femminile d'altri tempi, e le "Sorelle" lo sono per scelta, per appartenenza, per sorellanza di genere e non per parentela (la stessa Ada Negri amava definirsi "sorella" di Anna Kuliscioff). "Sorelle" è una galleria di ritratti femminili: dalla matriarca contadina che gestisce l'azienda famigliare, all'anonima segretaria d'ufficio che preferisce evadere dalla monotonia quotidiana immergendosi nei film, dall'anziana sarta, felice nel suo ospizio, alla custode di condominio che sgobba da mane a sera.
