Nuovi casi per il cacciatore di libri
Uno scorcio spericolato nel mondo del collezionismo di libri rari in Italia e nel mondo intero; tra libri irraggiungibili, edizioni pirata, libri censurati e misteriosamente scomparsi; autori cult, libri d'artista, libri stampati all'estero, amarcord bibliofilo; casi che hanno fatto epoca. Poeti di estrazione originale, sequestratori, muse, polemisti, matti e mediocri. Scrittori preziosi che pochi conoscono, casi editoriali che hanno fatto discutere; altri che invece nessuno conosce. i segreti del cacciatore di libri per trovare libri rarissimi. I libri su Dracula, il self publishing e le sue perle. Editori benemeriti che sono durati pochi anni ma hanno prodotto libri importanti e lanciato autori di grido. Scrittori che poi sono diventati ladri, omicidi, pazzi criminali e latitanti. Libri di cui nessuno ricorda nulla. Piccole edizioni senza importanza eppure preziose e attendibili.
Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II was one of the pivotal figures of the last century, the spiritual head of more than one billion believers and a world statesman of immense stature and influence. Yet he remains a mystery - theologically, politically, and personally. Through unprecedented access to both the Pope himself and those close to him, veteran New York Times correspondent and award-winning author Tad Szulc delivers the definitive biography of John Paul II. This strikingly intimate portrait highlights the Polishness that shaped the Pope's mysticism and pragmatism, while providing a behind-the-scenes look at the significant events of his public and private life, including: the inside story of the negot...
Guida alla Dea Madre in Italia
La penisola italiana ha accolto nei millenni numerosi riti, tradizioni e culti incentrati sulla Divinità Femminile, dei quali restano ampie e talora vistose tracce. Ed è proprio viaggiando alla loro ricerca, fraterra, acqua, aria e fuoco, che l'autore ha scoperto una serie diemozionanti itinerari in cui rivivere gli arcaici sapori della Grande Madre. La prefazione è di Syusy Blady, conduttrice e regista di "Turisti / Misteri per caso". All'interno, illustrazioni in b/n e 16 mappe con percorsi suggeriti per visitare i luoghi della Dea in Italia.
A Cheyenne Voice
Rarely does a primary source become available that provides new and significant information about the history and culture of a famous American Indian tribe. With A Cheyenne Voice, readers now have access to a vast ethnographic and historical trove about the Cheyenne people—much of it previously unavailable. A Cheyenne Voice contains the complete transcribed interviews conducted by anthropologist Margot Liberty with Northern Cheyenne elder John Stands In Timber (1882–1967). Recorded by Liberty in 1956–1959 when she was a schoolteacher on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, the interviews were the basis of the well-known 1967 book Cheyenne Memories.

Behind the mystery of economic growth stands another mystery: why do some places fare better than others?

The Soul of Judaism
Explores the full diversity of Black Jews, including bi-racial Jews of both matrilineal and patrilineal descent; adoptees; black converts to Judaism; and Black Hebrews and Israelites, who trace their Jewish roots to Africa and challenge the dominant western paradigm of Jews as white and of European descent. The book showcases the lives of Black Jews, demonstrating that racial ascription has been shaping Jewish selfhood for centuries. It reassesses the boundaries between race and ethnicity, offering insight into how ethnicity can be understood only in relation to racialization and the one-drop rule. Within this context, Black Jewish individuals strive to assert their dual identities and find acceptance within their communities. Putting to rest the notion that Jews are white and the Black Jews are therefore a contradiction, the volume argues that we cannot pigeonhole Black Hebrews and Israelites as exotic, militant, and nationalistic sects outside the boundaries of mainstream Jewish thought and community life. it spurs us to consider the significance of the growing population of self-identified Black Jews and its implications for the future of American Jewry.
