Pietro è il creatore di una serie televisiva di successo che però, stagione dopo stagione, somiglia sempre meno a ciò che immaginava e desiderava. Si prende una pausa, torna in Italia, ospite della sorella, e a una certa distanza da Hollywood si accorge che la sua vita ha lo stesso problema di sceneggiatura. Urge un cambiamento, ma non sarà facile lasciarsi vivere, per un uomo abituato a pianificare ogni dettaglio.

La giovane Romi desidera fuggire dal mondo per una serie di eventi funesti, seppur non sia ancora giunto il momento di andarsene: prima urge scoprire cosa affliggeva la madre quando era in vita. Vorrebbe trovare conforto all’angoscia che la pervade tra le braccia di Alena, la sorella gemella, ma non può perché tra loro qualcosa si è spezzato. Romi non trova pace; forse è lei a essere sbagliata, asociale, diversa. A sbrogliare la matassa ci penserà qualcuno di inaspettato: il vecchio Josef Hastrman, un misterioso clochard che vive sulle sponde del fiume Rodano, capace di evocare la dimensione magica che va oltre l’essere umano.

Mel Pryor's first collection deals with the small and the ordinary - a rat, a domestic cat, slugs, a fly at the window, a mosquito, and in sharply concise poems transforms them into something marvellous and/or terrifying. Her often tender and sometimes ironic depictions of family, loss and love urge us to cherish 'each blithe inhalation and exhalation.'

Migrants cuts through the toxic debates to tell the rich and collective stories of humankind's urge to move.\n\n'Fascinating... Miller's perspective may be just what we need' Daily Telegraph\n'Enjoyable, provocative and timely' Spectator\n'Timely and empathetic: a rare combination on this most controversial issue' Remi Adekoya, author of Biracial Britain\n'Tremendous: blends the personal and the panoramic to great effect' Robert Winder, author of Bloody Foreigners\n\nHumans are, in fundamental ways, a migratory species, more so than any other land mammal. For most of our existence , we were all nomads, and some of us still are. Houses and permanent settlements are a relatively late development - dating back little more than twelve thousand years. Borders and passports are much more recent. From the Neanderthals, Alexander the Great, Christopher Columbus and Pocahontas to the African slave trade, Fu Manchu, and Barack Obama, Migrants shows us that it is only by understanding how migration and migrants have been viewed in the past, that we can re-set the terms of the modern-day debate about migration.\n\nMigrants presents us with an alternative history of the world, in which migration is restored to the heart of the human story. And in which humans migrate for a wide range of reasons: not just because of civil war, or poverty or climate change but also out of curiosity and a sense of adventure. On arrival, migrants are expected both to assimilate and encouraged to remain distinctive; to defend their heritage and adopt a new one. They are sub-human and super-human; romanticised and castigated, admired and abhorred. Migrants tells us that this is not a new narrative; this is the history of us all, part of everybody's backstory - for those who consider themselves migrants and those who do not.

A tap of the foot, a rush of emotion, the urge to hum a tune; without instruction or training we all respond intuitively to music. Comparing Notes explores what music is, why we are all musical, and how abstract patterns of sound that don't actually mean anything can in fact be so meaningful. \n\nTaking the reader on a clear and compelling tour of major twentieth century musical theories, Professor Adam Ockelford arrives at his own important psychologically grounded theory of how music works. From pitch and rhythm to dynamics and timbre, he shows how all the elements of music cohere through the principle of imitation to create an abstract narrative in sound that we instinctively grasp, whether listening to Bach or the Beatles. \n\nBased on three decades of innovative work with blind children and those on the autism spectrum, the book draws lessons from neurodiversity to show how we all develop musically, and to explore the experience of music from composer and performer to listener.\n\nAuthoritative, engaging and full of wonderful examples from across the musical spectrum, Comparing Notes is essential reading for anyone who's ever loved a song, sonata or symphony, and wondered why.

L'attenzione verso il cibo è sempre più forte e a tutti i livelli. Proprio per questo, urge l'esigenza di riflessioni competenti e approfondite, necessarie a comprendere meglio non tanto il fenomeno di moda quanto i motivi per cui il cibo, sotto tutti i suoi aspetti, importa. In questo senso la filosofia può offrire un contributo fondamentale. Da prospettive molteplici i saggi di questo volume offrono risposte a domande quali: perché una filosofia del cibo? La cucina può essere arte? Il cibo può contribuire a una coscienza etica? Quali sono i rapporti tra la materia del cibo e la sua rappresentazione? Questi testi sono l'elaborazione ragionata dei temi presentati al convegno \"Cibo, filosofia e arte\" organizzato presso l'Università di Scienze Gastronomiche di Pollenzo nel 2013: un consesso realizzato per la prima volta in Italia che ha avuto un grande successo, grazie alla partecipazione interattiva di accademici, artisti, giornalisti, studenti universitari e pubblico di appassionati. Con scritti di: Nicola Perullo, Harald Lemke, Andrea Borghini, Richard Shusterman, Robert Valgenti, Gianfranco Marrone, Ryan Bromley, Massimo Bottura, Dario Mangano, Margherita d'Ayala Valva, Lorena Carrara, Daniela Bieder.

Jody Tiflin has the urge for rebellion, but he also wants to be loved. In THE RED PONY, Jody begins to learn about adulthood - its pain, its responsibilities and its problems - through his acceptance of his father's gifts. First he is given a red pony, and later he is promised the colt of a bay mare. Yet both of these gifts bring him tragedy as well as joy, and Jody is taught not only the harsh lessons of life and death, but made painfully aware of the fallibilty of adults.

The three epistles of John, the beloved apostle, urge the church to love one another as God has loved them. Gary Dickerson shows how these works provide encouragement for believers and warn against the rise of false teachers. Being careful to avoid speculative theories, Dickerson focuses on John's pastoral concerns. He examines the Greek text in detail, interacting with the most recent scholarship, and he presents the message of these epistles for the benefit of believers everywhere.\n\nAbout the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary Series\n\nThe Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series incorporates the latest in critical biblical scholarship and is written from a distinctly evangelical perspective. Each comprehensive volume offers an original translation and addresses biblical theology and application for each passage.

L'emergenza sanitaria che abbiamo visto investire il mondo intero nell'ultimo anno altro non è che il secondo volto della crisi di un ecosistema complesso: ambientale, sociale, e anche economico. Per affrontare queste sfide e i bisogni di una popolazione in rapida crescita, urge un cambiamento sistematico del nostro stile divita e del nostro modo di fare innovazione. Serve un modello che sia finalizzato a creare un valore complessivo in grado di integrare le esigenze della società, dell'impresa e del pianeta. Un sistema che affronti il futuro con un approccio responsabile e sostenibile. Proprio questo è il compito che si prefigge il volume: tracciare una mappa di navigazione per gli innovatori di oggi e di domani in linea coi principi dell'Open Science e dell'Open Innovation.

\"The [Vagrant Trilogy] extends far beyond the timeline of devastating events, and instead shows us something greater: humanity.\" - Broadway World\n\n\n\n The Vagrant Trilogy is a set of three plays by award-winning Arab American playwright Mona Mansour which explores the Palestinian condition prior to, during, and after the infamous Six-Day War. It sketches the devastating effect this conflict had on members of the Palestinian diaspora scattered in Europe and in Lebanese refugee camps.\n \nWith productions in Washington DC, New York, and Abu Dhabi, this trilogy has moved audiences across both America and the Arabic-speaking world. The Hour of Feeling, The Vagrant, and Urge for Going offer a deep exploration of the Palestinian struggle for home and identity, a powerful glimpse into a reality that many face and few understand.\n\n The volume includes a foreword by director Mark Wing-Davey; an introduction by Arab American theatre scholars Hala Baki and Michael Malek Najjar; the three plays in their final performance versions; an interview with playwright Mona Mansour; and a critical essay by literary scholar Diya Abdo. This collection of Mansour's outstanding plays is another important contribution to the Arab American theatrical canon and the larger body of American drama.

Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customize what we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the future, we're told, it will even make public life - from how we're governed to how we record crime - better. But can the digital age fix everything? Should it? By quantifying our behaviour, Evgeny Morozov argues, we are profoundly reshaping society - and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.

In the summer of 2000 David Haward Bain and his family left their home in Vermont and headed west in search of America's past. Spiritually, their journey began on a Kansas trail where the author's grandmother was born in a covered wagon in 1889. Between the Missouri River and the Golden Gate, they retraced the entire route of the first transcontinental railroad and large stretches of the Oregon and California trails, and the equally colorful old Lincoln Highway. Following vanished iron rails and wagon wheel ruts, bumping down backroads and main streets, they discovered the deep, restless, uniquely American spirit of adventure that connects our past to our present.\n\n A superb writer and an exacting researcher, Bain conjures up a marvelous sense of coming unstuck in time as he lingers in the ghost towns and battlegrounds, prairies and river ports, trainyards, museums, deserts, and diners that line his cruise west to California. Bain encounters a fascinating cast of characters, both historic and contemporary, as well as memories of his grandparents and the journeys that shaped his own heritage.\n\n Writing in the tradition of William Least Heat-Moon and Ian Frazier, and with an engaging warmth and a deep grasp of history all his own, Bain has fashioned a quintessentially American journey.

\"I contributi autorevoli qui raccolti consentono di cogliere non solo quel che non funziona oggi nei parchi e perché, ma anche come se ne può finalmente uscire. I tentativi di ridurre questa condizione sempre più insostenibile delle nostre aree protette a meri fattori tecnici e normativi sono apparsi sempre più non solo pretestuosi, ma grotteschi. Cosa c'è di più politico e istituzionale che nominare un consiglio del parco, il suo presidente, il suo direttore? E chi deve istituire una area protetta marina in attesa da anni se non un ministero? Ecco, il libro non denuncia i 'colpevoli' di questa malagestione, ma prova a indicare vie d'uscita.\" R.M.

Il rapporto sul ricambio generazionale, promosso dal Forum Nazionale dei Giovani e dal Cnel, affronta il nesso tra mobilità sociale e questione giovanile, monitorando la presenza dei giovani nelle rappresentanze istituzionali e in alcuni settori chiave della cultura e del mondo del lavoro. Il quadro che ne emerge non è incoraggiante: i giovani italiani, seppur capaci e meritevoli, a fatica riescono ad affermarsi professionalmente e ad emanciparsi in modo compiuto dalla propria famiglia prima dei quarant'anni. Né, data la fermezza con la quale la classe dirigente nostrana difende le posizioni acquisite, possono vantare una presenza significativa nelle posizioni di vertice della vita politica, economica e sociale del Paese. Il rapporto, attraverso un lungo percorso di ricerca, ricostruisce le vicende di questi giovani, in parte rassegnati alla propria condizione di emarginati in una società organizzata in modo corporativo e al cui vertice si trova una gerontocrazia inamovibile.

As a psychiatrist-in-training fresh from medical school, Carl Erik Fisher came face to face with his own addiction crisis, one that nearly cost him everything. Here, he investigates the history of this age-old condition.\n\n\nHumans have struggled to define, treat, and control addictive behaviour for most of recorded history, including well before the advent of modern science and medicine. The Urge is a rich, sweeping history that probes not only medicine and science but also literature, religion, philosophy, and sociology, illuminating the extent to which the story of addiction has persistently reflected broader questions of what it means to be human and care for one another.\n\n\nFisher introduces us to the people who have endeavoured to address this complex condition through the ages: physicians and politicians, activists and artists, researchers and writers, and of course the legions of people who have struggled with their own addictions. He also examines the treatments and strategies that have produced hope and relief.\n\n\nThe Urge is at once an eye-opening history of ideas, a riveting personal story of addiction and recovery, and a clinician's urgent call for a more expansive, nuanced, and compassionate view of one of society's most intractable challenges.

The 'outward urge' was a factor in the Troon inheritance. Successive generations of Troons, looking up at the stars, heard the siren voices that called them out into Space. And, as the frontiers of Space receded, there was usually one Troon, if not more, out there, helping to push them back.\n\nIn an age in which what goes up need not necessarily come down, the likely adventures of the Conquistadors of Space are every bit as exciting as any world menaced by triffids. This coming-of-age classic from the author of The Midwich Cuckoos shows Wyndham's mastery across genres.
