"Noi intendiamo partire da bisogni e da pulsioni primarie, come la fame,
la sete, la salute, nella loro materialità naturale, nel loro vissuto,
ma anche nelle risposte che stimolano, nell'organizzazione che ne
delimita o ne discrimina soddisfazioni e/o insoddisfazioni. Quindi
intendiamo studiare e, possibilmente, capire il loro nesso ineludibile

“In his famous Farewell Address, President Eisenhower warned about allowing public policy to become captive to a scientific elite without regard to the principles of our constitutional system and the goals of a free society. Eisenhower was prescient. During the COVID crisis, states like New York that embraced unadulterated Faucism saw poor results across the board, while states that pursued an Eisenhower-style approach like Florida protected freedom and performed better in education, economy and health outcomes. Executives are elected to lead and make tough decisions, and such leadership cannot be outsourced to health bureaucrats like Fauci.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
“In this important book the authors do the job our uninquisitive media has failed to do throughout this ordeal. Confirming with cited and sourced details the enemy of both liberty and logic the lockdowns have proven to be. Which also proves too much power in the hands of an unelected bureaucrat, regardless of his intentions, can no longer be our new normal.” —U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)
Can liberty survive in the hands of one all-powerful, unchallenged, and unelected bureaucrat?
It wasn’t too long ago that the average American didn’t know who Anthony Fauci was. Now, after the coronavirus has spread nationwide, he’s arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in American history. But is it dangerous for a free society to concentrate so much power in the hands of an unelected official? Who or what holds Fauci accountable?
“Steve Deace is a true patriot whose zeal for liberty is undeniable. Every day, Steve walks the walk when it comes to fighting for Americans' fundamental rights. This book is written with a keen understanding of the pain and devastation we've all seen throughout this pandemic. Throughout, Steve's passion for protecting Americans' freedoms is ever-present.” —U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (TX)
“This is an important book, to both get answers to how we got here and to help us never succumb to something like this ever again. Permitting unelected bureaucrats to hold this much power indefinitely doesn't end well.” —Mark Levin, New York Times best-selling author and talk show host
“In their typical fashion, Steve Deace and Todd Erzen spare no expense in pursuit of truth. We’ve been told a lot of things during this pandemic, and a lot of them contradict each other. This book uses documented data and sources to cut through the clutter, most of it Fauci’s, and bring us to a place of reason and science.” —Glenn Beck, New York Times bestselling author and Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling series.
What family secrets are behind two disappearances? Seattle detective Tracy Crosswhite is determined to uncover the truth in the latest installment of New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s heart-stopping series.
Returning from an extended leave in her hometown of Cedar Grove, Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself reassigned to the Seattle PD’s cold case unit. As the protective mother of an infant daughter, Tracy is immediately drawn to her first file: the abduction of a five-year-old girl whose parents, embattled in a poisonous divorce, were once prime suspects.
While reconstructing the days leading up to the girl’s disappearance, Tracy is brought into an active investigation with former partner Kinsington Rowe. A young woman has vanished on an isolated jogging trail in North Seattle. Divided between two critical cases, Tracy has little to go on except the treacherous deceptions behind a broken marriage―and now, the secrets hiding behind the closed doors of a deceptively quiet middle-class neighborhood.
To find two missing persons, Tracy will have to follow more than clues, which are both long cold and unsettlingly fresh. Given her own traumatic past, Tracy must also follow her instincts―to whatever dark and dangerous places they may lead.
An award-winning Iraqi writer creates a new world for himself in Seattle in search of lost love.
As the US occupation of Iraq rages, novelist Mortada Gzar, a student at the University of Baghdad, has a chance encounter with Morise, an African American soldier. It’s love at first sight, a threat to them both, and a moment of self-discovery. Challenged by society’s rejection and Morise’s return to the US, Mortada takes to the page to understand himself.
In his deeply affecting memoir, Mortada interweaves tales of his childhood work as a scrap-metal collector in a war zone and the indignities faced by openly gay artists in Iraq with his impossible love story and journey to the US. Marginalized by his own society, he is surprised to discover the racism he finds in a new one. At its heart, I’m in Seattle, Where Are You? is a moving tale of love and resilience.

Should Christians study eschatology--the part of theology concerned with
death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind?
What does the Bible say about End Times and how can laypeople learn
about it without having to scale "Mount Prophecy" to get there? Biblical
prophecy is the topic of countless books, many that are long and use
theological language that often escapes the average, faithful member of a
Bible-believing church. The Future in a Nutshell covers in simple
language the basic tenets of Biblical eschatology, providing a useful
overview about what the Bible teaches about the future.

“Fantastic, defiant, utterly brilliant.” ―Ken Liu
Zen Cho returns with The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water,
a found family wuxia fantasy that combines the vibrancy of old school
martial arts movies with characters drawn from the margins of history.
A
bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there.
Guet Imm, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, joins up with an
eclectic group of thieves (whether they like it or not) in order to
protect a sacred object, and finds herself in a far more complicated
situation than she could have ever imagined.
One of the preeminent linguists of our time examines the realms of
language that are considered shocking and taboo in order to understand
what imbues curse words with such power--and why we love them so much.
Profanity
has always been a deliciously vibrant part of our lexicon, an integral
part of being human. In fact, our ability to curse comes from a
different part of the brain than other parts of speech--the urgency with
which we say "f&*k!" is instead related to the instinct that tells
us to flee from danger.
Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. Nine Nasty Words
is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle:
historical, sociological, political, linguistic. In a particularly
coarse moment, when the public discourse is shaped in part by
once-shocking words, nothing could be timelier.

“An irresistible tale which showcases the transformative power

1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe.
Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers
and blackout curtains that she finds on her arrival were not what she
expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at
Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.
Through
blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the
power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a
force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war.
“A gorgeously written story of love, friendship, and survival set against the backdrop of WWII-era London.”
—JILLIAN CANTOR, author of In Another Time and Half Life
“A
love letter to the power of books to unite us, to hold the world
together when it’s falling apart around our ears. This fresh take on
what London endured during WWII should catapult Madeline Martin to the
top tier of historical fiction novelists.”
—KAREN ROBARDS, author of The Black Swan of Paris

Stress is a curse, as well as, a blessing, in that it occurs in
malignant, as well as, benign forms. Stress can be both constructive and
destructive, in that it may open the doors of possibility, while
shutting the doors of others. It is the negative side of stress that
creates the overall problem for us as living beings. Stress has been
known to be devastating and problematic to us. It creates difficulties
for us when it does not let up; and when it is triggered by ordinary,
everyday events. We are currently living in a psychologically, hyped up,
exhausted, and stressed out society; whereby, we are experiencing
nervous breakdowns, burnout, stress-related illnesses; and ultimately
death. What am I prepared to do about this stress that I am
experiencing? Fortunately, there are more constructive ways of handling
stress . This book is not intended to be a "do-it-yourself" guide to
mental and emotional health, although it may provide information and
insights that will direct ways toward self-improvement. This book is
designed to help both individuals and organizations.
