Fin dal concepimento, e per buona parte della vita, il nostro cervello conosce processi che ne garantiscono lo sviluppo e l'aumento delle capacità attraverso l'apprendimento.

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action.

And a shift from thinking about climate change as a “me” problem to a “we” problem. The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next.

Il giornalista Giacomo Cassisi segue gli sviluppi dell'inchiesta, nel groviglio reso ancor più ingarbugliato dal filo che lega la sua amica Elena a Gina, la sorella di una delle vittime. La storia è raccontata in 47 brevi capitoli legati tra loro dai titoli di famose canzoni italiane, come fosse una colonna sonora.

The best educated and most prosperous have the most stable families, while working class families have seen the greatest increase in relationship instability. Why? The book provides the answer: greater economic inequality has profoundly changed marriage markets, the way men and women match up when they search for a life partner.
