Sinossi

In "The Sexual Life of the Child," Albert Moll, a pioneering psychoanalyst and one of the early proponents of child psychology, explores the intricacies of childhood sexuality, a topic often shrouded in taboo. Written in the early 20th century, the book adopts a clinical yet empathetic literary style, merging case studies with theoretical insights that challenge prevailing societal norms. Moll posits that an understanding of children's sexual development is crucial for the holistic approach to their psychological health, hence situating his work firmly within the burgeoning field of psychoanalysis and child psychology of the time, where the intersection of sexuality and childhood was keenly investigated yet poorly understood. Moll's deep interest in the psychological underpinnings of sexual behavior is evident throughout his career. As a student of Sigmund Freud and an impactful figure in early psychoanalytic circles, Moll was undoubtedly influenced by the debates surrounding sexuality and childhood. His professional journey, encompassing both medical science and psychotherapy, equipped him with a unique perspective that allowed him to dismantle misconceptions surrounding children's sexual experiences and articulate their importance in broader developmental contexts. This book is a significant resource for scholars, educators, and parents alike, offering illuminating insights into the often overlooked dimensions of early childhood development. It invites readers to reconsider deeply ingrained biases about childhood sexuality, ultimately fostering a more compassionate and informed dialogue on the subject. Readers seeking to understand the complexities of child psychology and the critical role of sexuality in development will find Moll's work both necessary and revealing.

The Network - The Battle for the...

Anonimo

The astonishing story of America’s airwaves, the two friends—one a media mogul, the other a famous inventor—who made them available to us, and the government which figured out how to put a price on air. 
This is the origin story of the airwaves—the foundational technology of the communications age—as told through the forty-year friendship of an entrepreneurial industrialist and a brilliant inventor. 
David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and equal parts Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, and William Randolph Hearst, was the greatest supporter of his friend Edwin Armstrong, developer of the first amplifier, the modern radio transmitter, and FM radio. Sarnoff was convinced that Armstrong’s inventions had the power to change the way societies communicated with each other forever. He would become a visionary captain of the media industry, even predicting the advent of the Internet. 
In the mid-1930s, however, when Armstrong suspected Sarnoff of orchestrating a cadre of government officials to seize control of the FM airwaves, he committed suicide. Sarnoff had a very different view of who his friend’s enemies were. 
Many corrupt politicians and corporations saw in Armstrong’s inventions the opportunity to commodify our most ubiquitous natural resource—the air. This early alliance between high tech and business set the precedent for countless legal and industrial battles over broadband and licensing bandwidth, many of which continue to influence policy and debate today.

The Norman Sicily - A Crossroads...

Harris Ropes

The Norman conquest of Sicily was a transformative period that reshaped the island’s political, social, and cultural landscape. The Normans, originally of Viking descent, had settled in northern France and became known for their military prowess and adaptability. By the 11th century, ambitious Norman adventurers turned their attention to southern Italy, seeking wealth and power. Among them, the Hauteville family played a crucial role in the conquest of Sicily, led by Robert Guiscard and his younger brother Roger.
The campaign to seize Sicily from Muslim control began in 1061, as the Normans took advantage of internal divisions among the island’s Muslim rulers. At the time, Sicily was a prosperous and diverse society, ruled by various Arab and Berber factions who had governed the island for over two centuries. Despite their dominance, infighting among the Muslim emirs weakened their hold, providing the Normans with an opportunity to launch a well-planned invasion. Robert Guiscard and Roger initially captured the strategic town of Messina, using it as a foothold for further expansion. Over the next three decades, the Normans steadily advanced across the island, engaging in fierce battles and sieges.
One of the most significant victories came in 1072 when the Normans captured the capital city of Palermo, a major cultural and economic center. Palermo’s fall marked a turning point in the conquest, as it solidified Norman authority in the region. However, complete control of Sicily was not achieved until 1091 when Roger seized Noto, the last stronghold of Muslim resistance. With this final victory, the Normans established their rule over the entire island, bringing an end to Muslim governance while incorporating many aspects of its administrative and cultural systems.

The Last Train

Peter Bradley

‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein
The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain.
In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia.
The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived.
It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution.
Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields?
Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary?
And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'?
The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust.
This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic.
And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves?
This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future.
For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).
