Patagonia. The name connotes the exotic and a distance that seems nearly mythical. Tucked toward the toe of South America, this largely unsettled landscape is among the most varied and breathtaking in the world - aching in its beauty as it sweeps from the Andes through broad, arid steppes to pristine beaches and down to a famously violent sea. It is also home to a vast array of rare wildlife as diverse and fascinating as the region itself.

Throughout Lewis and Clark for Dummies, you find out about Jefferson's western exploration from his earliest efforts to see the Corps assembled through the aftermath for the explorers, the tribes, and the United States. But the focus of Lewis & Clark for Dummies is on the period between Jefferson's confidential letter to Congress requesting dollars to mount a western exploration (January 18,1803) and the expedition's triumphant (and improbable) return to St. Louis (September 23, 1806): 42 months that changed the world.

Dawn and dusk – those fleeting, half-lit hours – are when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In THE SECRET WORLD OF TWILIGHT, author and smallholder Sally Coulthard invites us into this magical in-between realm, where seductive night-blooming flowers open, secretive mammals stir, giant moths reign and fantastical sea creatures ride the tide. Blending natural history, folklore and memoir, Coulthard reveals twilight as a vital, liminal force: one that has inspired awe for millennia and still has the power to illuminate our daily lives.

Un chimico e un astrofisico (no, non è l’inizio di una barzelletta) navigano sulla zattera del pensiero scientifico attraverso l’insidioso mare dei media e della comunicazione. Sommerso ogni giorno da una quantità tale di dati, numeri, immagini e opinioni il nostro cervello – già di suo pigro e lontano dall’essere perfetto – rischia costantemente di perdere la rotta. Ma come si fa a impedire questa deriva cerebrale? Come aiutare la nostra mente a trovare punti di riferimento sicuri per attraversare indenne la tempesta del sovraccarico di notizie?

Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

Mente Alveare è un viaggio sonoro alla scoperta dell’economia circolare. Un insieme di menti che cooperano, si interrogano e costruiscono, proprio come le api trasformano la materia in nutrimento. Avere una “mente alveare” significa pensare in modo connesso, riconoscere che ogni gesto individuale influisce sull’intero ecosistema che ci circonda, quello ambientale come quello umano. Sei tappe guidate da Chiara Scialdone e dalle voci di esperti, imprenditori e narratori. Un podcast che invita a riflettere valore umano e simbolico del riuso, del limite e della rinascita.
