La giovane Ally, velista esperta, è distesa al sole di uno yacht in mezzo all'Egeo e sta vivendo uno dei momenti più emozionanti della sua vita: l'intesa professionale con il famoso skipper Theo Falys-Kings si è da poco trasformata in un amore appassionato. Ma la loro felicità viene bruscamente interrotta dalla notizia della morte di Pa' Salt, il magnate svizzero che ha adottato Ally e le sue cinque sorelle e che ha lasciato a ciascuna una serie di indizi per mettersi sulle tracce del loro passato. Ally è troppo sconvolta per esaudire la volontà di suo padre; vuole solo abbandonarsi nelle braccia di Theo e ritrovare un po' di serenità: non sa però quello che sta per succederle, né sa che presto dovrà gettarsi nella lettura del volume lasciatole da Pa' Salt, la burrascosa storia di Anna Landvik, una cantante d'opera norvegese che nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento divenne la musa del compositore Edvard Grieg. Ed è proprio nella gelida e romantica Norvegi...

Historians have long maintained that the Biblical Jesus is a composite character derived from stories of several men living around the first Century. This is the story of one. Rich with historical events and people, "Pantera" details the formation of the Pantera family legacy with the conception of Yeshu ha-Notzri, Jesus of Nazareth. Yeshu, the son of a Roman soldier and a Jewish maiden comes into this world with his twin brother, Judas. They both must choose between the priesthood and the Roman military but their destiny as an agent of the state for the Roman Empire places Yeshu at odds with the Sanhedrin and we all know how that turns out. Over the ages, Yeshu's family actively supports the Catholic Church until it's time to expose the Pantera family's heritage to the world. Their mission, to correct the historical origin of Christianity, return Jesus to life and perfect the Holy Grail, an age extending Essene healing potion. ...

Raised an atheist, Adam Leith Gollner was struck by mankind's tireless efforts to cheat aging and death. In a narrative that pivots between profundity and hilarity, he brings us into the world of those whose lives are shaped by a belief in immortality. From a Jesuit priest on his deathbed to anti-aging researchers at Harvard, Gollner-sorting truth from absurdity-canvasses religion and science for insight, along with an array of cults, myths, and fringe figures. He journeys to David Copperfield's archipelago in the Bahamas, where the magician claims to have found "a liquid that reverses genes." He attends a costume party set in the year 2068 with a group of radical life-extensionists, explores a cryonics facility, and soaks in the transformative mineral waters at the Esalen Institute. Looking to history, Gollner visits St. Augustine, Florida, where Ponce de Leon is thought to have sought the fountain of youth. Combining immersive reporting, rigorous research, and lyri...

One of the world's most influential economists sets out the basis for a new social contract fit for the 21st century This landmark study by Minouche Shafik, Director of the LSE, draws on evidence from across the globe to show that the social contract - how we pool risks, share resources and balance individual and collective responsibility - shapes not just our wealth and opportunities but the very fabric of our lives. And yet societies everywhere are failing to adapt to the global upheavals of technology, demography and climate, leading to a breakdown in mutual trust the world over. Brilliantly lucid and accessible, What We Owe Each Other draws on a wealth of evidence and learning to outline the basic principles that every society must adopt to meet these challenges. Reshaping the social contract will have profound implications for gender equality, education, healthcare provision, the role of business and the future of work.

Brian, on his way back to base after mid-tour leave, was wounded by a roadside bomb that sent shrapnel through his brain. Kayla waited anxiously for news and, on returning home, sought out Brian. The two began a tentative romance and later married, but neither anticipated the consequences of Brian's injury on their lives. Lacking essential support for returning veterans from the military and the VA, Kayla and Brian suffered through posttraumatic stress amplified by his violent mood swings, her struggles to reintegrate into a country still oblivious to women veterans, and what seemed the callous, consumerist indifference of civilian society at large. Kayla persevered. So did Brian. They fought for their marriage, drawing on remarkable reservoirs of courage and commitment. They confronted their demons head-on, impatient with phoniness of any sort.

2019 Independent Publishers Book Awards (IPPY) Bronze Medal Award winner! 2018 Robert & Judi Newman Award for Literature & Journalism! For centuries, men and women have sought to express beauty in architecture and art. But, it is only recently that neuroscience has helped determine how and why beauty plays such an important role in our lives. Founded on a series of lectures architect Donald H. Ruggles has given over the past ten years, Beauty, Neuroscience and Architecture: Timeless Patterns and Their Impact on Our Well-Being postulates that beauty can and does make a vital difference in our lives, including improving many aspects of our health. In this volume, Ruggles suggests that a new, urgent effort is needed to refocus the direction of architecture and art to include the quality of beauty as a fundamental, overarching theme in two of humanity's most important fields of endeavor - the built and artistic environments. ""Since the beginning of time,"" ...

Shamanism is humanity's oldest spiritual tradition. In much of the Western world, the indigenous pre-Christian spiritual practices have been lost. Yet at the northern fringes of Europe, Christianity did not displace the original shamanic practices until the end of the Viking age. Remnants of Norse shamanic spirituality have survived in myths, folk traditions, and written records from Iceland, providing many clues about the ancient European shaman's world, especially when examined in conjunction with other shamanic cultures in northern Eurasia, such as the Sami and the tribes of Siberia.

Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV--everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. Product details Format CD-Audio Publication date 01 Mar 2021 ...
