Story0
The implausible truth: Over one billion people in the world are hungry and over one billion are overweight. Far from complete opposites, hunger and obesity are in fact different manifestations of the same problem: It's increasingly difficult to find and eat nutritious food. By examining the global industrial food system using the deceptively simple template of a classic American dinner, We the Eaters not only outlines the root causes for this bizarre and troubling dichotomy, but also provides a blueprint of actionable solutions.

Story1
A funny and touching story about how to deal with the struggles of adulthood, how to live a good life, and how money can complicate it all. Money Sucks is the culmination of those discussions, rumination on the haves and the have-nots and a frank, thought-provoking look at some of the toughest questions life throws our way: What makes us happy? How much is enough? Funny and inspiring in equal measures, it’s a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of their children, grandchildren, and the friends and family they love.

Shabana Mir's powerful ethnographic study of women on Washington, D.C., college campuses reveals that being a young female Muslim in post-9/11 America means experiencing double scrutiny—scrutiny from the Muslim community as well as from the dominant non-Muslim community. i>Muslim American Women on Campus illuminates the processes by which a group of ethnically diverse American college women, all identifying as Muslim and all raised in the United States, construct their identities during one of the most formative times in their lives.

Hercules, Zeus, Thor, Gilgamesh - these are the figures that leap to mind when we think of myth. But to David Leeming, myths are more than stories of deities and fantastic beings from non-Christian cultures. Myth is at once the most particular and the most universal feature of civilization, representing common concerns that each society voices in its own idiom.

Once we step on the treadmill of progress, it's hard to step off. Yet Edward Tenner shows that human ingenuity can be applied in self-preservation as well, and he sheds light on the ways in which the users of commonplace technology surprise designers and engineers, as when early typists developed the touch method still employed on today's keyboards. And he offers concrete advice for reaping benefits from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without. Although dependent on these objects, we can also use them to liberate ourselves.

Because of rapidly aging populations, the number of people worldwide experiencing dementia is increasing and the projections are grim. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested in medical research, no effective treatment has been discovered for Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. The Alzheimer Conundrum exposes the predicaments embedded in current efforts to slow down or halt Alzheimer's disease through early detection of presymptomatic biological changes in healthy individuals.

Making War at Fort Hood offers an illuminating look at war through the daily lives of the people whose job it is to produce it. Kenneth MacLeish conducted a year of intensive fieldwork among soldiers and their families at and around the US Army's Fort Hood in central Texas. He shows how war's reach extends far beyond the battlefield into military communities where violence is as routine, boring, and normal as it is shocking and traumatic.

Part memoir, part popular science, and part social commentary, Bottled Up probes breastfeeding politics through the lens of Barston’s own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, The Fearless Formula Feeder. Incorporating expert opinions, medical literature, and popular media into a pithy, often wry narrative, Barston offers a corrective to our infatuation with the breast. Impassioned, well-reasoned, and thoroughly researched, Bottled Up asks us to think with more nuance and compassion about whether breastfeeding should remain the holy grail of good parenthood.

From the family to the workplace to the marketplace, every facet of our lives is shaped by cooperative interactions. Yet everywhere we look, we are confronted by proof of how difficult cooperation can be - snarled traffic, polarized politics, overexploited resources, social problems that go ignored. The benefits to oneself of a free ride on the efforts of others mean that collective goals often are not met. But compared to most other species, people actually cooperate a great deal. Why is this?

"Una delle disgrazie del nostro paese, negli ultimi sessant'anni, è stata proprio di non avere avuto veri nemici. Avere un nemico è importante non solo per definire la nostra identità ma anche per procurarci un ostacolo rispetto al quale misurare il nostro sistema di valori e mostrare, nell'affrontarlo, il valore nostro. Pertanto, quando il nemico non ci sia, occorre costruirlo."

Nel "Manuale dell'uomo sociale" troverete le instantanee di inizio secolo. Un'epoca sospesa e vagamente ottimista, appena prima alla crisi finanziaria del 2008 e alla lunga crisi economica che avrebbe segnato gli anni Dieci. Riconoscerete l'Italia ormai abituata a internet, ma sempre ossessionata dai cellulari e dai primi smartphone. Sentirete l'aria economica che cambia: stretti tra stipendi balcanici e prezzi scandinavi, molti connazionali stentavano (per fortuna c'erano le case dei genitori, gli aperitivi abbondanti, gli outlet e i voli low-cost).

Chi sono i neoitaliani? Siamo tutti noi, che abbiamo attraversato la stranissima primavera del 2020 e ora affrontiamo un futuro incerto. "Ci vorrà tempo per capire come la pandemia, lo spavento e le difficoltà abbiano cambiato il nostro carattere. Ma un cambiamento è avvenuto." Beppe Severgnini, che ha dedicato la carriera alla meticolosa osservazione dei connazionali, non ha dubbi: "Dalla bufera siamo usciti diversi. Peggiori o migliori? Direi: non siamo andati indietro. A modo nostro, siamo andati avanti."

""La storia dei sentimenti" umani ci può aiutare a capire che l'economia, la politica e le altre forme di organizzazione umana che paiono vivere di leggi, algoritmi e regole, in realtà sono figlie dei nostri sentimenti. Ve ne sono stati di meravigliosi nel corso della storia. Studiamoli, copiamoli e vivremo più felici." Dalla scoperta del fuoco alla rivoluzione industriale, dalla democrazia ateniese all'intelligenza artificiale, lo spirito di ogni grande salto della storia dell'uomo si può racchiudere in un sentimento prevalente.

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.

Un viaggio eccezionale nell'Italia degli anni ottanta, attraverso i luoghi e le esperienze degli operai della Fiat. Un reportage che va oltre l'universo metallico delle grandi fabbriche automobilistiche, qui descritte in "presa diretta", per raccontare la vita nei casermoni di periferia, le metamorfosi avvenute nei paesini meridionali degli emigranti, gli operai divisi tra robot e lavoro contadino, le patetiche gite aziendali in cui si ricerca la socialità un tempo vissuta nel sindacato.

Gli occhi delle donne sono sempre stati usati dagli uomini come specchi nei quali cercare un riflesso per poter costruire la propria immagine e alimentare la propria autostima. Tuttavia, oggi qualcosa sta cambiando. Accade difatti che le proprietà correttive dello specchio degli occhi femminili abbiano cominciato a invertire il loro meccanismo di funzionamento e ad agire in senso contrario, amplificando limiti e difetti maschili. Come reagiscono gli uomini? La gran parte si sente smarrita, inquieta e disorientata, maggiormente fragile e insicura.
