As a young man, Richard Neer dreamed of landing a job at WNEW in New York - one of the revolutionary FM stations across the country that were changing the face of radio by rejecting strict formatting and letting disc jockeys play whatever they wanted. He felt that when he got there, he’d have made the big time. Little did he know he’d have shaped rock history as well. FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio chronicles the birth, growth, and death of free-form rock-and-roll radio through the stories of the movement’s flagship stations.

For a series set in our future, Star Trek revisits the past constantly. Kirk and Spock battle Nazis, Roman gladiators, and witness the Great Depression. When they're not doubling back on their own earlier timelines, the crew uses the holodeck to spend time in the American Old West or Victorian England. Alien races have their own complex and fascinating histories, too. The Star Trek universe is a sci-fi imagining of a future world that is rooted in our own human history. Gene Roddenberry created a television show with a new world and new rules in order to comment on social and political issues of the 1960s.

Yunte Huang ingeniously traces Charlie Chan from his real beginnings as a bullwhip-wielding detective in territorial Hawaii to his reinvention as a literary sleuth and Hollywood film icon. Huang finally resurrects the "honorable detective" from the graveyard of detested postmodern symbols and reclaims him as the embodiment of America’s rich cultural diversity. The result is one of the most critically acclaimed books of the year and a "deeply personal...voyage into racial stereotyping and the humanizing force of storytelling" (Donna Seaman, Los Angeles Times).

L'inno alla pace di Charlie Chaplin nel "Grande dittatore", il super-computer HAL 9000 e la sua folle "incapacità d'errore" in "2001: Odissea nello spazio", la figura ormai leggendaria di "Fantozzi Rag. Ugo". La storia del cinema è un susseguirsi di scene, personaggi e dialoghi che sono entrati a far parte dell'immaginario di intere generazioni, e in questo volume Walter Veltroni, da sempre appassionato di cinema, parte dal "momento meraviglioso in cui in sala si fa buio totale" per accompagnarci in un viaggio personale e affettivo tra centouno dei film più belli di sempre.

Le livre audio indispensable pour démêler le vrai du faux dans la jungle de l'info ! Réseaux sociaux, sites internet, radio, télévision, journaux... les sources d'information n'ont jamais été aussi nombreuses. Et le mensonge n'a jamais autant circulé, au point que l'on parle même "d'infodémie", comme d'une maladie. Comment juger alors la pertinence d'une information ? Est-ce que ce que je lis ou écoute est vrai ou faux ? Est-ce une opinion ou un fait ?

君は強大な敵に、いかにして立ち向かうか？　日本は、巨大な力に苦しめられ続けてきた。闇に怯え、打ちひしがれ、夢や希望を無くしている時代だからこそ、民族の神話が必要なのではないか。

コンプライアンス遵守が盛んに叫ばれる現代。かつて全盛を極めた「やくざ映画」の命脈も風前の灯火だ。しかし、その中は「組織論」「義理と人情」など、日本社会の本質を理解するカギがそこかしこに隠され

El flamenco es arte, pasión, dolor, sentimiento... y misterio. Muchas han sido las teorías que, a lo largo de la historia, se han formulado para explicar su origen, su excepcionalidad y su endemismo andaluz. Algunas, puramente nominalistas y radicalmente erróneas, como la de que viene de Flandes; otras, simplemente reduccionistas, como la de que es un arte gitano. Blas Infante lanzó una nueva y clarividente teoría al asociar su origen con el íntimo dolor de los derrotados y humillados andalusíes y moriscos, fellah mengu, de la que vendría la expresión de flamenco.
