Parmi eux: Blake, père de famille respectable et néanmoins tueur à gages; Slimboy, pop star nigériane, las de vivre dans le mensonge; Joanna, redoutable avocate rattrapée par ses failles; ou encore Victor Miesel, écrivain confidentiel soudain devenu culte. Tous croyaient avoir une vie secrète. Nul n'imaginait à quel point c'était vrai.Roman virtuose où la logique rencontre le magique, L'anomalie explore cette part de nous-mêmes qui nous échappe."--Page 4 of cover. |

Summary: "La donna è sola, inquieta, in fuga: non vuole più restare dove non cè amore. Ha lasciato la città, nella quale tutto è frenetico e in vendita, ed è tornata nella vecchia baita dell, infanzia, sul Monte. Qui vive senza passato, aspetta che la neve seppellisca i ricordi e segue il ritmo della natura. Cè un inverno da attraversare, il freddo da combattere, la solitudine da farsi amica. Ci sono i rumori e le creature del bosco, una volpe curiosa e un gufo reale che bubola sotto il tetto. E cè luomo dal giaccone rosso, che arriva e che va, come il vento. A valle lo chiamano lo Straniero: vuole risistemare il rifugio e piantare abeti sul versante nord della montagna, per aiutarla a resistere e a tornare fertile. Una notte terribile riporta la paura, ma la donna si accorge che ci sono persone che vegliano su di lei: la Guaritrice, muta dalla nascita, che comprende il linguaggio delle piante e fa nascere i bambini; la Rossa, che gestisce la locanda del paese; la Benefattrice, che la nutre di cibo e premure. Donne che sanno dare riparo alle anime rotte, e che come lei cercano di vivere pienamente nel loro angolo di mondo. Mentre la montagna si prepara al disgelo e a rifiorire, anche la donna si rimette in cammino. Arriverà un altro inverno, ma ora il Monte la chiama." -- flap of the back cover

Summary: In this memoir, the iconic media star discusses her professional and personal life, including losing her husband at a young age, her historic turn as anchor of the CBS Evening News, and experiences dealing with gender inequality. For more than 40 years Couric has been an iconic presence in the media world. In her brutally honest memoir, she reveals how she has balanced her personality, intellectual curiosity and desire to be taken seriously while facing a host of challenges: an eating disorder, sexism, the perils of celebrity-- and rebuilding her life with two young daughters after her husband, Jay Monahan, died of colon cancer. Couric writes about the culture at CBS-- rife with gender inequality and predatory behavior-- and the downfall of Matt Lauer.-- Adapted from jacket. |

Summary: "Zeit ist Hirn. Was passiert, wenn man durch einen gesundheitlichen Einbruch auf einen Schlag aus dem prallen Leben gerissen wird? Kann das Erzählen von Geschichten zur Rettung beitragen? Und kann Komik heilen? Nachdem der Erzähler Joachim Meyerhoff aus so unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten berichtet hat wie einem Schüleraustausch in Laramie, Amerika, dem Aufwachsen auf einem Psychiatriegelände, der Schauspielschule und den liebesverwirrten Jahren in der Provinz, gerät der inzwischen Fünfzigjährige in ein Drama unerwarteter Art. Er wird als Notfall auf eine Intensivstation eingeliefert. Er, der sich immer durch körperliche Verausgabung zum Glühen brachte, die »blonde Bombe«, für die Selbstdetonationen ein Lebenselixier waren, liegt jählings an Apparaturen angeschlossen in einem Krankenhausbett in der Wiener Peripherie. Doch so existenziell die Situation auch sein mag, sie ist zugleich auch voller absurder Begebenheiten und Begegnungen. Der Krankenhausaufenthalt wird zu einer Zeit voller Geschichten und zu einer Zeit mit den Menschen, die dem Erzähler am nächsten stehen. Er begegnet außerdem so bedauernswerten wie gewöhnungsbedürftigen Mitpatienten, einer beeindruckenden Neurologin und sogar wilden Hamstern. Als er das Krankenhaus wieder verlassen kann, ist nichts mehr, wie es einmal war. Joachim Meyerhoff zieht alle literarischen Register und erzählt mit unvergleichlicher Tragikomik gegen die Unwägbarkeiten der Existenz an." -- Various websites

Summary: "From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair-how we can recognize, attack, and eliminate workplace injustice-and transform our careers and organizations in the process. We-all of us-consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution. Just Work is Kim Scott's new book, revealing a practical framework for both respecting everyone's individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect"-- Provided by publisher. |

Summary: "«Mi chiamo Gabriele, come l'arcangelo» aveva detto, «ma qui in Germania è un nome da donna. Il tuo invece che razza di nome è?» Galla si chiama così in onore dell'imperatrice Galla Placidia: «Darmi quel nome è stato uno dei pochi gesti coraggiosi di mia madre». Da quando è stata lasciata dal marito, improvvisamente e senza spiegazioni, passa le giornate sul divano a fissare la magnolia grandiflora del cortile, fantasticando di buttarsi dal balcone per sfuggire a un dolore insopportabile di cui si attribuisce ogni colpa. Esce di casa solo per vedere la psicanalista Anna Del Fante o per andare in carcere. «Da quando Doug mi ha lasciata sto bene solo dentro. Canto con altre dieci volontarie in un coro di detenuti tossicodipendenti. Anche io devo disintossicarmi.» Durante il primo viaggio da sola, a Monaco di Baviera, entra per caso in un museo dove è allestita la mostra della pittrice tedesca Gabriele Münter. Galla, che da ragazza studiava arte, ricorda solo che la Münter era nel gruppo del "Cavaliere Azzurro" con Vasilij Kandinskij. Ma quel giorno le sue opere «così piene di colore e prive di gioia» la ipnotizzano. Da quel momento la voce di Gabriele entra nella vita di Galla: la tormenta, la prende in giro e intanto le racconta la sua lunga storia d'amore con Kandinskij, così simile a quella di Galla con Doug. Mentre il dialogo tra le due si fa sempre più animato, la strada di Galla incrocia quella di altri due pazienti di Anna Del Fante: Bianca, un'adolescente che non riesce più ad andare a scuola, e Nicola, seduttore compulsivo e vittima di attacchi di panico. Le imprevedibili conseguenze di questo incontro potrebbero cambiare le vite di tutti e tre. Una storia a tratti comica e a tratti struggente, che mescola leggerezza e profondità, grazia e tenerezza, esplorando il nostro rapporto con il dolore, che è poi il nostro rapporto con noi stessi." -- Dust jacket

Summary: "In the past few years, it has become impossible (for most) to deny the effects of climate change and that the planet is warming, and to acknowledge that we must act. But a new kind of denialism is taking root in the halls of power, shaped by a quarter-century of neoliberal policies, that threatens to doom us before we've grasped the full extent of the crisis. As Kate Aronoff argues, since the 1980s and 1990s, economists, pro-business Democrats and Republicans in the US, and global organizations like the UN and the World Economic Forum have all made concessions to the oil and gas industry that they have no intention of reversing. What's more, they believe that climate change can be solved through the market, capitalism can be a force for good, and all of us, corporations included, are fighting the good fight together. These assumptions, Aronoff makes abundantly clear, will not save the planet. Drawing on years of reporting and rigorous economic analysis, Aronoff lays out a robust vision for what will, detailing how to constrain the fossil fuel industry; transform the economy into a sustainable, democratic one; mobilize political support; create effective public-private partnerships; enact climate reparations; and adapt to inevitable warming in a way that is just and equitable. Our future, Aronoff's book makes clear, will require a radical reimagining of our politics and our economies, but if done right, it will save the world"-- Provided by publisher. |

Publisher, Date: New York : Columbia Global Reports, [2021]
Description: 430 pages : map ; 22 cm
Summary: "The distinguished political analyst John Judis has brought out a book with Columbia Global Reports during each of the last three national political seasons: The Populist Explosion in 2016, The Nationalist Revival in 2018, and The Socialist Awakening in 2020. Together, these books chart the rise during the second decade of the twenty-first century of a new and unexpected political mood produced by widespread dissatisfaction with the results of the free-market policies that emerged in the late twentieth century, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This anthology, with an Introduction written after the 2020 election, is an indispensable guide to understanding the deeply rooted disenchantment that gave rise to the far-right, the radical left, and the populism on both sides, and changed the politics of our time." -- Provided by publisher. |

Summary: "Meet the intelligent insects, marvellous minibeasts and inspirational invertebrates that bring life to our planet. Discover how we can 'rebug' our attitudes and embrace these brilliant, essential insects, so that we can avoid an 'insecctageddon' and help each other thrive. In Rebugging the Planet, Vicki Hird shows us that bugs are beautiful, inventive and economically invaluable. They are also responsible for pollinating plants, feeding birds, defending crops and cleaning water systems. But with 40 per cent of insect species at risk of extinction and a third more endangered, our planet is headed towards an insect apocalypse. We have to start giving worms, spiders, beetles, ladybirds and butterflies the space they need to flourish!"--Page 4 of cover. |

Summary: "With all the advances in science in the last century, why are there still so many infectious diseases? Why haven't we found cures for difficult cancers? Why hasn't any major headway been made in the treatment of mental illness? Why did 36 million people die of hunger in 2019? How do we expect to feed the additional two to three billion people expected by 2050? And how do we intend to stop, and not only that but reverse, global warming and the climate crisis? In Saved by Science, scientist Mark Poznansky examines the many crises facing humanity while encouraging us with the promise of an emerging solution: synthetic biology. This is the science of building simple organisms, or "biological apps," to make manufacturing greener, energy production more sustainable, agriculture more robust, and medicine more powerful and precise. Synthetic biology is the marriage of the digital revolution with a revolution in biology and genomics; some have even called it "the fourth industrial revolution." Accessible and informative, Saved by Science provides readers with hope for the future if we trust in and support the future of science."-- Provided by publisher. |

Summary: "From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Pollan, a radical challenge to how we think about drugs, and an exploration into the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants -- and the equally powerful taboos Of all the things humans rely on plants for--sustenance, beauty, fragrance, flavor, fiber--surely the most curious is our use of them is to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: people around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. We don't usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable. So then what is a "drug?" And why, for example, is making tea from the leaves of a tea plant acceptable, but making tea from a seed head of an opium poppy a federal crime? In THIS IS YOUR MIND ON PLANTS, Michael Pollan dives deep into three plant drugs -- opium, caffeine, and mescaline -- and throws the fundamental strangeness, and arbitrariness, of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos with which we surround them. Why do we go to such great lengths to seek these shifts in consciousness, and then why do we fence that universal desire with laws and customs and suchfraught feelings? A unique blend of history, science, memoir, as well as participatory journalism, Pollan examines and experiences these plants from several very different angles and contexts, and shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively -- as a drug, whether licit or illicit. But that's one of the least interesting things you can say about these plants, Pollan shows, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in oneof the most profound ways we can. Based in part on an essay written more than 25 years ago, this groundbreaking and singular consideration of psychoactive plants, and our attraction to them through time, holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds, and our entanglement with the natural world"-- Provided by publisher. |

Summary: "Rocciatore, taglialegna, scalpellino, minatore, apicoltore: chi è Celio? "Un niente" risponde lui, un semplice signor nessuno di un paesino sulle Alpi che è terra di nascita dell'autore. È lui a far rivivere Celio, a strapparlo all'oblio per renderlo personaggio vero, sfuggente, pulsante di idiosincrasie e contraddizioni. Insofferente alle persone fino alla misantropia, il protagonista si rifugia in se stesso, nell'ermeticità del dialetto ladino e nell'abbraccio ambiguo dell'alcol, che lo stringerà per tutta la vita, fino al delirio e alla morte. In Celio, conosciuto durante la problematica infanzia e quarant'anni più vecchio di lui, l'autore troverà un inaspettato mentore, una protezione dalle violenze perpetrate dal padre, una via d'accesso privilegiata ai misteri e alla saggezza della natura, rivelatasi solamente per lui. Nel racconto, Mauro Corona si riscopre bambino, mettendo nero su bianco le parole - sempre misurate, mai lasciate al caso - dell'anziano amico e compagno di bevute, alla ricerca delle radici di un male di vivere sempre scacciato e mai sopito, nel duro e apparentemente impenetrabile cuore da montanaro. Una scrittura aspra, nervosa e autentica al pari del protagonista di questo romanzo, dietro le cui vicissitudini si legge in controluce l'autobiografia dell'autore, vero alter ego di Celio e solo testimone di un'esistenza che si fa simbolo di una terra sospesa nel tempo, in cui la solitudine, portata su di sé come una croce, sembra l'unico rimedio al contagio della miseria e del dolore. Le uniche leggi e autorità riconosciute sono quelle della natura, al contempo madre e matrigna. Come il vecchio accendino a benzina, ereditato dal maestro, l'allievo tiene viva la fiamma del ricordo e fa luce sul potere dell'amicizia, rara e inafferrabile ma capace di farsi salvifica nell'ostilità e nell'indifferenza del mondo." -- flap of the dust jacket
