Un voyage sonore paisible sur des routes dégagées – du ronronnement régulier du moteur au bruit changeant de l'asphalte et des pavés. Par moments, le vent s'engouffre par les fenêtres entrouvertes, tandis que les amortisseurs absorbent en douceur les irrégularités de la route. En arrière-plan, on entend faiblement le grésillement de la radio et les informations routières, une voix GPS qui guide calmement le conducteur, et enfin les gouttes de pluie qui commencent à tambouriner doucement contre la vitre. Un voyage relaxant à travers l'Europe, vu – et entendu – depuis le siège passager.

An inside look at sexual practices in medieval England. Were medieval women slaves to their husband's desires, jealously secured in a chastity belt in his absence? Was sex a duty or could it be a pleasure? Did a woman have a say about her own female sexuality, body, and who did or didn’t get...

Munken Gherardo var sidst i 1348 helt alene tilbage i det kloster i Sydfrankrig, som han året før havde delt med sin prior og 34 ordensbrødre. Som i langt de fleste klostre efterlevede munkene nemlig reglen om at tage sig af syge og døende.

Fem år efter var tallet 40 millioner.

Sex. The word makes some people giggle or blush, while others may draw back in discomfort. So, why do we find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? Much of our reticence in discussing and acknowledging the realities of sex comes, at least in part, from a unique time and place: medieval Europe. In the 12 episodes of Sex in the Middle Ages, Professor Jennifer McNabb and a panel of experts in medieval history and literature will take you back to the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance to explore the ideals and realities of sex and sexuality.

Valentina ha iniziato a fumare eroina a 13 anni. Era il 2002. Nessuno pensava che l'eroina fosse ancora una minaccia, si diceva che a farsi erano ormai solo i tossicomani sopravvissuti agli anni Ottanta, simbolo di un passato da dimenticare. Oggi Valentina ha 33 anni, è entrata e uscita da dodici comunità terapeutiche, solo per finire in carcere. Parte da qui, dalla vicenda di una ragazza come tante, il percorso di ricerca di Vanessa Roghi sul mondo delle cosiddette "droghe pesanti".

Drawing upon evidence from archives across the world, Veiled Warriors offers a compelling account of nurses' wartime experiences and a clear appraisal of their work and its contribution to the allied cause between 1914 and 1918, on both the Western and the Eastern Fronts. Nurses believed they were involved in a multi-layered battle. Primarily, they were fighting for the lives of their patients on the "second battlefield" of casualty clearing stations, transports, and military hospitals.

this exciting story illuminates the captivating world of the late Renaissance - in this case its plagues, remedies, and alchemy - through the life of Leonardo Fioravanti, a brilliant, remarkably forward-thinking, and utterly unconventional doctor. Fioravanti's marvelous cures and talent for self-aggrandizement earned him the adoration of the people, the scorn of the medical establishment, and a reputation as one of the age's most colorful, combative figures.
