At 22, Dan Brown came to the Bronx's P.S. 85 as an eager, fresh-faced teacher. Unbeknownst to him, his assigned class, 4-217, was the designated "dumping ground" for all fourth-grade problem cases, and his students would prove to be more challenging than he could ever anticipate. Intent on being a caring, dedicated teacher but confronted with unruly children, absent parents, and a failing administration, Dan was pushed to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer frustration, often just wanting to give up and walk away.

"Ho scritto 'L'italiano. Lezioni semiserie' per denunciare le violenze contro la nostra lingua, ma non chiedo condanne. Lo scopo è la riabilitazione. Scrivere bene si può. L'importante è capire chi scrive male, e regolarsi di conseguenza. Questo è un libro ottimista, e ha un obiettivo dichiarato: aiutarvi a scrivere in maniera efficace (un'e-mail, una relazione, una tesi o un breve saggio: la tecnica non cambia)".

Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Despite being immensely popular - and immensely lucrative - education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity - in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee.

Whether you like it or loathe it, public speaking is something many of us have to do. Be it presentations to colleagues or speeches to a room full of near-strangers, we all want to shine…or at least get through it with our dignity intact. Luckily Philip Collins, former Chief Speech Writer to Tony Blair, knows exactly what’s needed to give a storming speech. The secret, according to Philip, is content. Too many of us focus on how we’re presenting, and don’t spend enough time thinking about what we’re presenting. The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing.

La culture traditionnelle japonaise reste immuable alors que sa culture pop évolue à toute allure.

Nel Paese dei balocchi in cui viviamo risuona un unico imperativo: "Lascia perdere!". La memoria e il rigore, l'impegno e l'etica sono fatiche inutili. Le molte realtà straordinarie della scuola e dell'impegno sociale, così come le famiglie, sono costrette a nuotare come salmoni contro la corrente della crisi economica, dell'arroganza al potere, del disprezzo verso i saperi. Eppure a venire oggi alla ribalta non sono solo bambini-erba, senza forma e senza senso del limite, né solo ragazzi-risacca, trasportati dalle maree di qualche vizio o disagio.
