Critical theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose—and, if at all possible, cure—the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

« Par une nuit sans lune, une ombre glisse sous de rares lampadaires. Le faubourg nord de Tokyo s'assoupit dans l'air glacial, bercé par le ronronnement des trains. Adossé aux gratte-ciels, il se réduit à des maisons basses, des trottoirs déserts et à quelques vélos en liberté posés contre des voitures bâchées. Le lieu idéal pour se cacher, disparaître, s'évader. » Chaque année, quelque 100 000 Japonais, hommes et femmes de tous âges, s'évaporent sans laisser de traces… Un récit immersif sur un phénomène unique au monde.

Wie Sie ruhig, liebevoll und klar bleiben. Schimpfen ist in vielen Familien ein fester Bestandteil der Erziehung. Wenn das Kind etwas angestellt hat oder nicht hören will, wird geschimpft. Eltern ertappen sich dabei, dass sie sich nicht anders zu helfen wissen. Tatsächlich kann Schimpfen aber unerwünschte Nebenwirkungen haben: Das Selbstwertgefühl des Kindes leidet, der Lerneffekt ist selten positiv, es belastet die Beziehung, und die Eltern plagt danach oft ein Gefühl der Scham. Nicola Schmidt zeigt in diesem Hörbuch die Alternativen zum Schimpfen.

In the 1840s, the Fox Sisters—and the legions of mediums they inspired—ignited the Spiritualist movement that swept through Victorian parlors and presidential campaigns alike. Contacting the dead wasn't merely a parlor trick: It was a political statement, a declaration of self that still echoes. Séances attracted suffragists and scientists, skeptics and charlatans, giving women a voice in a society that often refused to hear them. But as Spiritualism surged, it also blurred the lines between faith, fraud, feminism, and financial opportunity.

Un giorno non ci saremo più. Ma rimarranno online tutte le tracce che abbiamo lasciato, la nostra storia a portata di click: dai profili social ai nostri ricordi più intimi.

Il lutto non è più un'esperienza privata: si è espanso nel mondo virtuale esattamente come tutto il resto, ridefinendo la nostra relazione con la perdita e la memoria.

This is a study of how intellectuals as a class affect modern societies by shaping the climate of opinion in which official policies develop, on issues ranging from economics to law to war and peace.

Every day we make choices. Coke or Pepsi? Save or spend? Stay or go? Whether mundane or life-altering, these choices define us and shape our lives. Sheena Iyengar asks the difficult questions about how and why we choose: Is the desire for choice innate or bound by culture? Why do we sometimes choose against our best interests? How much control do we really have over what we choose?
