After the death of her child, a grief-stricken psychotherapist, teacher, and writer volunteers as a poetry teacher at a residential treatment facility for “delinquent” girls.

For the majority of young adults today, the transition to independence is a time of excitement and possibility. But nearly five million young people experience entry into adulthood as abrupt abandonment, a time of disconnection from school, work, and family. For this growing population of Americans, which includes kids aging out of foster care and those entangled with the justice system, life screeches to a halt when adulthood arrives. Abandoned is the first-ever exploration of this tale of dead ends and broken dreams.

El deporte no es solamente una actividad física, sino una actividad integral, holística, que altera, desarrolla y activa las distintas dimensiones del ser humano, las visibles y las invisibles, las materiales y las inmateriales, lo más nuclear y esencial que hay en él, pero también lo más exterior. Partiendo de esa premisa, esta obra muestra la práctica deportiva como un camino de extraordinaria utilidad para activar la inteligencia espiritual, trascendente o existencial, latente en todo ser humano.

First he considers moments in history - Periclean Athens, the English Civil War, the American and French Revolutions, among them - in which the challenges we face today were first encountered and what solutions, however imperfect, were found. Then he lays bare the specific problems of democracy in the 21st century and maps out a set of urgently needed reforms. With the advent of authoritarian leaders and the simultaneous rise of populism, representative democracy appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place, yet it is this space that it must occupy, says Grayling, if a civilised society that looks after all its people is to flourish.

The moment of decision is your will at a crossroads. Feeling Like It provides a concise and accessible investigation of a new problem at the intersection of ethics, philosophy of action, and philosophy of mind.

La liberazione dell'eros nelle sue forme neglette e represse è il solo serio antidoto al predominio mortifero della Norma e del capitalismo. Si tratta, dice Mieli, di aprire una breccia nella psiche mutilata dalla dittatura della normalità per lasciar emergere la transessualità sepolta in ciascuno di noi, "l'ermafroditismo originario e profondo di ogni individuo".
