Questo libro inizia con un episodio dell'Eneide: il naufragio dei Troiani sulle coste di Cartagine (nei pressi dell'odierna Tunisi, nel canale di Sicilia) mentre sono diretti in Italia. Enea e i suoi vengono accolti dalla regina Didone in nome dell'umanità e del rispetto verso gli dèi, perché le frontiere si chiudono di fronte agli aggressori, non ai naufraghi. Scrive Bettini: "Ci sono troppi dispersi nel mare che fu di Virgilio, troppi cadaveri che fluttuano a mezz'acqua perché quei versi si possano ancora leggere solo come poesia. Sono diventati cronaca".

Story
Miglior libro del 2019 secondo le riviste "The Financial Times" e "Bloomberg". Malcolm Gladwell, conduttore del podcast "Revisionist History" e autore del bestseller n. 1 del New York Times "Outliers", nel suo nuovo libro offre un esame approfondito delle nostre interazioni con gli estranei. Come risulta dagli esempi analizzati da Gladwell, le strategie che usiamo per giudicare gli estranei possono spesso risultare sbagliate, perché basate su considerazioni superficiali e soggettive. Riportiamo qui solo alcuni esempi più eclatanti.

Story
Aubrey Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people's experiences. Unlike the recent wave of memoirs and quasi self-help books that encourage readers to love and accept themselves, Gordon pushes the discussion further towards authentic fat activism, which includes ending legal weight discrimination, giving equal access to health care for large people, increased access to public spaces, and ending anti-fat violence.

Perché facciamo gli auguri? Perché decoriamo l'abete? E le luci di Natale? Perché ci si bacia sotto il vischio? Cosa ci fanno il bue e l'asinello nel presepe se i Vangeli non ne parlano? Sapevi che nella mangiatoia c'era anche un gatto? E che uno dei re Magi è diventato italiano? E la stella cometa? E la ghirlanda? E il pupazzo di neve? Ogni anno compiamo gesti ricorrenti con grande sicurezza, spesso senza sapere o chiederci il perché.

Story
In this brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land and the poetry of Nicaragua, Salman Rushdie brings to the forefront the palpable human facts of a country in the midst of revolution. Rushdie went to Nicaragua in 1986. What he discovered was overwhelming: a land of difficult, often beautiful contradictions, of strange heroes and warrior-poets. Rushdie came to know an enormous range of people, from the foreign minister, a priest, to the midwife who kept a pet cow in her living room.

Story
How did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care about others? Since Darwin, scientists have tried to answer this question using evolutionary theory. In The Kindness of Strangers, psychologist Michael E. McCullough shows why they have failed and offers a new explanation instead. From the moment nomadic humans first settled down until the aftermath of the Second World War, our species has confronted repeated crises that we could only survive by changing our behavior.

Bibelschule Deutschland. Alle Ideologen jeder Couleur zerren an der Jugend. Die Linken, die Rechten, freilich die Christen, bald vielleicht sogar noch die Moslems. Kein Wunder, dass sie sich zurückzieht um sich zu schützen. Wir müssen die Jugend besser vor diesen Einflüssen schützen. Nichts nützt uns weniger als eine verlorene Generation von aufgehetzten Extremisten. Vernunft ist das einzige was zählt! Alte Märchen. Worauf genau fallen wir bei den Schriften des alten Testaments der Juden und des Neuen Testaments der Christen eigentlich herein?

Story
Enslaved West Indian women had few opportunities to record their stories for posterity. Yet from their dusty footprints and the umpteen small clues they left for us to unravel, there's no question that they earned their place in history. Pick any Caribbean island and you'll find race, skin color, and rank interacting with gender in a unique and often volatile way. In A Kick in the Belly, Stella Dadzie follows the evidence and finds women played a distinctly female role in the development of a culture of slave resistance - a role that was not just central, but downright dynamic.

Story
Human bone is versatile and entirely unique: It repairs itself without scarring, it's lightweight but responds to stresses, and it's durable enough to survive for millennia. In Bones, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals explores and extols this amazing material that both supports and records vertebrate life.
