Sinopse

Essays in Life is a selection of thirty-two pieces, all but nine of which, in earlier versions, have been previously published in on-line media. The range of subjects is wide - from Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Italo Calvino, to politics, economics, immigration, social and political injustice, religion, democracy and freedom. In Memoriam - the concluding essay - is a personal account of friendship and loss.

The author's aim in presenting these pieces is no different from that of the Spanish poet and essayist Juan Gil-Albert (1904 – 1994): "I write to clarify what I think, and offer these words in the hope that they may be of use to others."

    Internet governance refers to the development and application of rules, policies, and practices that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It involves multiple stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, civil society organizations, and technical communities. As the internet has grown from an academic experiment to a global infrastructure, the need for effective governance has become increasingly crucial. The way the internet is managed impacts digital rights, economic development, and global security, making governance a central issue in today’s interconnected world. 
    The origins of internet governance can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when management was primarily handled by academic and research institutions. Over time, as commercial interests and governmental involvement increased, governance structures evolved to accommodate new challenges. Organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) were established to facilitate discussions on technical coordination, policy-making, and regulation. The involvement of international bodies such as the United Nations further highlights the growing importance of internet governance in global affairs. 
    A fundamental aspect of internet governance is the balance between different stakeholder interests. Governments seek to regulate the internet to ensure national security, protect citizens' rights, and maintain economic stability. Meanwhile, private companies advocate for minimal regulation to encourage innovation and market growth. Civil society organizations focus on issues such as privacy, digital rights, and access to information. This multistakeholder model aims to create a collaborative and inclusive approach to governance, but it also presents challenges in reaching consensus on key issues.

    How did our brains change over the course of evolution, and what did it mean for our ancestors? Why do we behave the way we do today? Evolutionary psychology is the only framework that allows us to fully understand the nuances of humans' motivations, emotions, cognitions, and behaviors. Our bodies have evolved over time, and so too have our brains. How we respond to situations emotionally, our thoughts, our motivations, and our behaviors have a deep heritage based on the successes of our ancestors in meeting their survival or reproductive needs.In this Very Short Introduction, Maryanne L. Fisher and T. Joel Wade unfold the intriguing idea that our brain, like every other body part, has been shaped over time by natural and sexual selection. Fisher and Wade consider the contexts in which our ancestors thrived and explore how people today think and act using an evolutionary compass. This research-oriented exploration addresses diverse topics, organized into chapters on the principles underlying this approach, survival issues, group alliances, aggression, family dynamics, and mating strategies. It touches on a broad array of topics like fears, disgust, attraction, sibling conflict, friendship, and homicide.
