Doctor Without Borders：Portrait of Carlo Urbani
Carlo Urbani was an infective disease specialist with a beaming career, one of the most experienced in the world. He has received the Nobel Peace Prize as a national president of Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, MSF). On March 29, Urbani, ironically as the very first doctor discovering Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), was killed by the mysterious virus in a remote hospital of the Far East. Doctor Without Borders: Portrait of Carlo Urbani documents his remarkable life stories by including contents of manuscripts, interviews, and letters, in an attempt to honor Urbani’s memories in every way possible.
Representing Gender-Based Violence
This book focuses on the politics, ethics and stereotypical pitfalls of representational practices surrounding Gender-Based Violence (GBV) from a global perspective. The originality of the volume is linked to its cross-disciplinary perspective as the topic of representing GBV is analyzed across the domains of philosophy/epistemology, fiction and the arts (including literature, film, television series and music) and non-fictional representations in the media (including broadcast media, online/print journalism, transmedia activism). The volume identifies contemporary representational practices and the theoretical and critical responses, examining various aspects of popular culture from around the world. In doing so, the editors put feminism in conversation with global trends to identify its cultural frontline. The volume will appeal to scholars working on gender and violence from diverse fields.
Pretacci
Quello di Candido Cannavò è un reportage dentro l'«altra» Chiesa. Quella estranea alla «ritualità pomposa e noiosa che non arriva al cuore della gente». È un lungo viaggio tra i preti che interpretano la diffusione della Parola in modo combattivo perchè «il Vangelo è combattimento, è sfi da agli stereotipi, ai luoghi comuni, alle convenienze». Alla paura. Preti come monsignor Giancarlo Bregantini, che nel ruolo di vescovo di Locri è stato il faro di quanti si battono contro la 'ndrangheta. Come don Gino Rigoldi, il cappellano del «Beccaria» che da tanti anni cerca di aiutare ragazzi venuti su un po' storti. Come padre Mario Golesano, che è andato nel quartiere di Brancaccio ...

The Legacy of Carlo Urbani: The Protocol That Saved Millions of Lives
Carlo Urbani, an Italian doctor and microbiologist, made history as the first person to identify and classify Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or atypical pneumonia during its outbreak between 2002 and 2003. Tragically, he succumbed to the same disease on March 29th, 2003, while working in Bangkok. Two decades later, this book aims to not only recount the story of the “SARS doctor” to younger generations who may only be familiar with his name through schools or streets named after him but also to introduce readers to the man behind the remarkable achievement. Carlo Urbani’s legacy lives on through the continued efforts of his friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who have carried on his work and the protocol he established. This protocol has proven vital in saving countless lives in today’s world, which has been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite his untimely death, Carlo’s contributions to medicine and public health continue to inspire and benefit people all over the world.
Migration and the Media
The first book to analyse cultural dynamics of Chinese migration to Italy, Migration and the Media compares Italian, Chinese migrant, and international media interpretations between 1992 and 2012. From paternalistic tones reducing migrants' motives to poverty or political oppression to fear-mongering diatribes about illegal business practices, tax evasion, and unfair competition, the Italian and international media covered this large-scale migration extensively during this period. The Chinese community also joined in the media polyphony with articles in their own newspapers and magazines, more likely refuting biased mainstream media coverage or protesting the harsh regulations that seemed to...
Antifragile
'Really made me think about how I think' - Mohsin Hamid, author of Exit West Tough times don't last. Tough people do. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. Here Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it. 'The hottest thinker in the world' Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times
Doctor Alganesh
«Mi chiamo Alganesh Fessaha, sono nata in Eritrea nel 1950 e sono cittadina italiana. Il mio nome significa "il mio trono, il luogo ove riposarmi"». Comincia così il racconto di questo ebook, che ha come protagonista "Doctor Alganesh", specialista in medicina Ayurveda, fondatrice e presidente della Ong "Gandhi", che dal 2003 sostiene persone vulnerabili attraverso progetti in diversi Paesi africani. Questa biografia in prima persona, scritta da un giornalista di Avvenire esperto di questioni internazionali e umanitarie, racconta la storia di una donna di speranza e di pace che nel 2015 è stata insignita dal presidente Sergio Mattarella del titolo di Ufficiale dell'Ordine al merito della Repubblica «per il suo impegno nella lotta al traffico degli esseri umani e nell'assistenza ai profughi».
Le verità del Piccolo Principe
Il Piccolo Principe compie ottant'anni. Dove sarà andato? Il morso del serpente è stato per lui davvero fatale oppure l'ometto avrà raggiunto la sua rosa tanto amata sul minuscolo asteroide B-612? Di sicuro, dovunque si trovi, non sarà divenuto un vecchio barbuto, ma avrà ancora l'aspetto di un bambino. Perché, come dice il suo "papà" Saint-Exupéry, l'infanzia è un «grande territorio da dove ognuno è uscito». Rileggere in controluce questa fiaba, accostandola alla vita dell'autore, ci consente di scoprirne le verità nascoste. Dal senso della vita e della morte, alla metafora del deserto, fino alla mistica dell'amicizia. Consapevoli che l'essenziale si può cogliere solo con gli occhi del cuore.
