Yearnings is the penultimate chapter in the “I Found My Heart In San Francisco” series. We’ve traveled along with Jamie, Ryan, Mia, Jordan, a boatload of O’Flahertys, a smaller number of Evanses, and a huge supporting cast for seven years of their topsy-turvy lives.

Meet Pan. She lives a few centuries from now, in a future beyond a data crash that wiped out most records of life from before the 23rd century: the Cataclysm. Her job is to sort through the old sound recordings that survived from before the crash - from the Slow Times. When winters were still cold. When the USA still had people in it. All day she listens to sounds from the Slow Times, and she decides which noises live and which can just...finally die. Deleted to make space. Because data costs.

This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects.

In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, founding director of the Antiracism Research and Policy Center, shows that when it comes to racism, neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem. Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and storyteller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good.

Chi sono gli scienziati che hanno rivoluzionato la storia dell'umanità? Erano davvero dei "geni"?

Pochi sanno delle boiate dette da Democrito, delle folli pratiche alchemiche di Newton, di quante idee si sia fatto fregare quel sociopatico di Tesla o di quanti sbagli abbia commesso Einstein. Quelli che definiamo geni non sono altro che esseri umani appassionati, instancabili ricercatori di conoscenza, con alle spalle un quantitativo inimmaginabile di errori.

Tras la elección de Barack Obama, muchos declararon el inicio de una era postracial. Sin embargo, el pensamiento racista, más sofisticado e insidioso que nunca, sigue profundamente arraigado en la sociedad estadounidense. Tal y como argumenta Ibram X. Kendi-la voz más influyente de la lucha antirracista y uno de los referentes actuales del movimiento #BlackLivesMatter-,aunque las ideas racistas se desarrollan, difunden y consagran muy fácilmente, también se las puede desacreditar.

Cass Saélihn is the weapon, the hybrid born to kill the Olympian gods. Only the price is her own life. One dies so millions can live. So her mates will live.

Janelle met her in midair. Her hands, hooked into claws, punctured the other woman's chest and dragged her down to the ground. From there it was all downhill for her. She had underestimated the power that Janelle possessed. Janelle's fingers had punched straight through her chest, hooked into her ribs ...
