Zodra vrouwen kinderen krijgen leveren ze veel in op fysiek, mentaal en financieel vlak, terwijl het moederschap voor bedrijven juist een lucratief verdienmodel vormt. De kinderwens levert groot geld op; steeds meer vrouwen laten hun eicellen invriezen en steeds meer baby's worden geboren dankzij ivf. Voor moeders zorgt een kind meestal voor een lager inkomen, terwijl vaders juist een 'vaderschapsbonus' kunnen krijgen. Een kind is voor steeds meer partijen een verdienmodel. Maar wie betaalt de prijs?

Peter Kanne schetst een verontrustend beeld van de Nederlander als genotzuchtige individualist. In vergelijking met inwoners van andere landen trekt de Nederlander zich nog meer terug in zijn eigen kleine, genoegzame wereldje. Als we niet bereid zijn uit onze comfortabele cocons te stappen, komen niet alleen onze welvaart en onze mentale en fysieke gezondheid, maar ook onze democratie in gevaar. Aan de hand van objectieve cijfers, wetenschappelijk onderzoek en opinieonderzoek duidt Kanne de ontwikkelingen op het gebied van economie, communicatie, gezondheid, duurzaamheid en democratie.

Brûlé dans une voiture. C'est ainsi qu'est mort Brahim, le frère d'Amine Kessaci. En attendant le procès de ceux qui ont tué son frère, Amine prend la plume et entame un dialogue posthume avec Brahim.

Il brosse le portrait d'un homme à la trajectoire brisée. Comment en est-on arrivé là ?

Una grande trasformazione del mondo è avvenuta tra due date: il 9 novembre 1989, con la caduta del muro di Berlino, e il novembre 2019, quando scoppia a Wuhan l'emergenza Covid-19. Col crollo del muro di Berlino scompare il nemico, tutti si sentono fratelli e uguali. Si aprono le frontiere, crollano le istituzioni consolidate, inizia la globalizzazione. È un periodo di slancio impetuoso, pieno di speranza, di creatività, di utopia, ma il nuovo processo travolge il mondo consolidato, dagli stati-nazione alla famiglia, alla coppia.

Bari non è una città qualsiasi del Sud. Tra i grandi capoluoghi meridionali, è il solo a non aver mai avuto un univoco centro di potere. È stata spesso divisa da istituzioni e forze sociali difformi e contrastanti: lo Stato e la Chiesa, la Magistratura e la Mafia, i fascisti e i comunisti, i ricchi e i poveri. Una città di antinomie e di opposizioni, che si è costruita grazie all'apporto faticoso di tribù di non baresi, gente proveniente da fuori che l'ha arricchita di fame e di lavoro.

Beginning with the seemingly simple question "what is human?" Fr. FitzGerald investigates the implications of modern science. Several lectures are devoted to stem cells. What are they, where do they come from, and how are they used? Does it matter if a stem cell comes from an embryo versus bone marrow, the placenta, or skin? Examine the promise and dangers of stem cell research. The world marveled at Dolly, the first cloned sheep, and now cloning is widespread. What is cloning, how is it done, and are humans being cloned now?

França é o país estrangeiro onde vivem mais portugueses. São quase 600 mil. Se contarmos com os descendentes, são mais de um milhão. Este livro dá rostos a esses números: conta histórias dos que partiram para combater na Primeira Guerra e decidiram ficar, dos que fugiram da ditadura, da miséria e da Guerra Colonial e não voltaram, e dos que deixaram o Portugal da Troika.
