A quasi un anno dalla scomparsa di Silvio Berlusconi, Paolo Del Debbio ragiona sul-l'eredità politica di una delle figure più emblematiche della Seconda Repubblica.

La forza delle sue idee, il linguaggio sempre chiaro e diretto, le intuizioni, le alleanze e le strategie pensate con lungimiranza hanno cambiato il modo di fare politica e di comunicarla.

La cucciola, che sarà ribattezzata Gobi, dimostra che quello che le manca nella taglia è ampiamente ricompensato dalla grandezza del suo cuore: comincia a seguire Dion passo dopo passo, attraverso le impervie montagne Tian Shan, mantenendo il passo con lui per circa 130 chilometri. Quando Dion si rende conto dell'incredibile determinazione di questo piccolo animale, qualcosa dentro di lui cambia per sempre.

Milena Busquets practica en estos diarios una escritura de pinceladas impresionistas y logra que de lo cotidiano, de lo en apariencia anodino, emerja la epifanía. Este es un diario sobre días tristes y días felices −"La euforia y la felicidad absolutas están a un milímetro del ataque de pánico"−, escrito sin trampa ni cartón, sin falsos pudores, ni engolada pompa. Escrito siguiendo esta premisa: "Uno escribe solo ante el peligro, no hay otra manera honesta de hacerlo, el menor atisbo de autocomplacencia es una señal de cobardía.

Story
Milena Busquets practica en estos diarios una escritura de pinceladas impresionistas y logra que de lo cotidiano, de lo en apariencia anodino, emerja la epifanía. Este es un diario sobre días tristes y días felices −"La euforia y la felicidad absolutas están a un milímetro del ataque de pánico"−, escrito sin trampa ni cartón, sin falsos pudores, ni engolada pompa. Escrito siguiendo esta premisa: "Uno escribe solo ante el peligro, no hay otra manera honesta de hacerlo, el menor atisbo de autocomplacencia es una señal de cobardía.

Story
Spanning the years of transition, 1944 to 1948, Ascent to Power illuminates Truman’s struggles to emerge as president in his own right. Yet, from a relatively unknown Missouri senator to the most powerful man on Earth, Truman’s legacy transcends. With his come-from-behind campaign in the fall of 1948, his courageous civil rights advocacy, and his role in liberating millions from militarist governments and brutal occupations, Truman’s decisions during these pivotal years changed the course of the world in ways so significant we live with them today.

Balena è la storia di un corpo che cambia e diventa gigantesco, ma è anche la storia di una donna che si riappropria di sé grazie a quel corpo. Dopo la perdita del padre, a soli undici anni, Giulia inizia a cercare di colmare quel vuoto enorme col cibo, finendo per passare da 40 a 96 chili in pochi mesi. Poi, insieme al corpo, cominciano a crescere il rifiuto di sé e la vergogna, mentre compagni e insegnanti iniziano a trattarla in modo diverso. Un memoir toccante e acuto che racconta la stigmatizzazione del corpo, il superamento del lutto e la ricerca di un nuovo inizio.

Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton", Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late 20th century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet he also answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in 1989 at Tiananmen Square.

It has been taught in schools as a moral tract, as a guide to self-improvement, and as the Great American Success Story.

Investing can be a roller-coaster of highs and lows, and the investors detailed here reveal just how low it can go; stories from Warren Buffet, Bill Ackman, Chris Sacca, Jack Bogle, Mark Twain, John Maynard Keynes, and many more illustrate the simple but overlooked concept that investing is really hard, whether you're managing a few thousand dollars or a few billion. Failures and losses are part of the game. Much more than just anecdotal diversion, these stories set the basis for the book's critical focus: learning from mistakes.

Story
This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra - women who ruled with real power - and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. Female rulers are a rare phenomenon - but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office?

Story
Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires. But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business man is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 years old when he opened his first franchise.

Story
Unorthodox success principles from a billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Eli Broad's embrace of "unreasonable thinking" has helped him build two Fortune 500 companies, amass personal billions, and use his wealth to create a new approach to philanthropy. He has helped to fund scientific research institutes, K-12 education reform, and some of the world's greatest contemporary art museums. By contrast, "reasonable" people come up with all the reasons something new and different can't be done, because, after all, no one else has done it that way.
