What will planet Earth be like in 20 years? At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. In this powerful and sometimes terrifying work, Attali analyzes the past and pinpoints nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world center of power and prestige, and predicts what the tenth will bring by the end of this century.

Reclaiming Parkland details the failed attempt of Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman - cofounder of the production company Playtone - to make Vincent Bugliosi’s mammoth book about the Kennedy assassination, Reclaiming History, into a miniseries. It exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome.

Some people are so stressful to be around they can actually make us ill. This book looks at the relationships that may drag us down and drain our energy. It gives us the tools to recognise toxic people and places so that we never need give in to them again. It explains that our freedom lies in our own hands and has to do with making choices and decisions, setting proper boundaries and drawing back from situations in which we tend to feel like victims. This may mean weeding out our address book and going lonely for a while - but never fear, says Dr Cantopher, givers will turn up once we eliminate the takers from our lives.

Miembro de la Academia francesa y profesor del Collège de France, Marc Fumaroli se reveló en 1991 como un polemista brillante y provocador al publicar El Estado cultural, una indagación histórica de las raíces de la moderna política cultural francesa. La obra, que suscitó encendidos debates, narra el extraño destino de un ámbito, el de la cultura, que sirvió al gaullismo para compensar la agraviada grandeza de Francia y al socialismo para gratificar una ideología derrotada.

Le montagne esistono perché noi possiamo scalarle, possiamo camminarci, possiamo sciarci? Ha senso, in un ecosistema così fragile, perseguire un modello di sviluppo fondato sulla crescita, sull’aumento anno dopo anno di turisti e di impianti? Perché altre culture, dall’Himalaya alle Ande, hanno immaginato l’esistenza di montagne sacre, luoghi da cui l’uomo dovesse restare lontano? Cosa ci insegna questa idea di limite? Se sulle carte geografiche non esistono più spazi bianchi e inesplorati, in montagna non esistono più vette inviolate, in particolare sulle Alpi.

Da sempre misuriamo il mondo. Per conoscerlo ed esplorarlo, per viverci, per interagire con i nostri simili. L'umanità misura per conoscere il passato, comprendere il presente, progettare il futuro. Ci sono voluti però millenni perché due rivoluzioni, quella scientifica iniziata con Galileo e quella francese, avviassero il percorso per rendere il sistema di misura condiviso e non più basato su deperibili artefatti umani, ma su elementi invariabili e universali della natura.

What if you weren't sexually attracted to anyone? A growing number of people are identifying as asexual. They aren't sexually attracted to anyone, and they consider it a sexual orientation - like gay, straight, or bisexual. Asexuality is the invisible orientation. Most people believe that "everyone" wants sex, that "everyone" understands what it means to be attracted to other people, and that "everyone" wants to date and mate. But that's where asexual people are left out - they don't find other people sexually attractive, and if and when they say so, they are very rarely treated as though that's okay.

In this, her companion book to the best-selling Women of the Klondike, Frances Backhouse explores the experiences of the children who followed their parents north in search of fortune or were born in the goldfields.
