  The Passenger: Rome

  The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about Rome—in the series that’s “like a literary vacation” (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  If you believe recent chatter about Rome—in the media and by its residents—the city is on the verge of collapse. Each year, it slips further down the ranking of the world’s most livable cities. To the problems faced by all large capitals—hit-and-run tourism, traffic, the divide between elegant, Airbnb-dominated city centers and run-down suburbs—in recent years Rome seems to have added a list of calamities of its own: a string of failing administrations, widespread corruption, the resurgence of fascist movements, rampant crime. A seemingly hopeless situation, perfectly symbolized by the fact that Rome currently leads the world in the number of self-combusting public buses. 
   
  One might expect mass migration in the face of problems like these—yet the vast majority of Romans don’t think for a second of “betraying” their hometown, and the many newcomers who’ve populated it in recent decades resemble the natives in the profound love that binds them to the city. 
   
  The largest metropolis in Europe is a place of contradictions and opposites. We think of it as ancient, but it is profoundly modern—it was founded almost three millennia ago, but 92 per cent of its buildings have been built after 1945. To understand Rome and fix its problems, we should start considering it a normal city, not unlike Chicago or Manchester . . . just incomparably more beautiful. This volume is filled with portraits of Rome and thoughts not just on its famous past but its present and future, including: 
   
  Rome doesn’t judge you by Nicola Lagioia · The soul of the city by Matteo Nucci · 39 memos for a book about Rome by Francesco Piccolo · Plus: a guide to the sounds of Rome by Letizia Muratori; the feigned unrest and real malaise of the suburbs; the influence of the Vatican; the excessive power of real estate speculators and the rule of gangs; disillusioned trappers; football fans of every age, and much more . . .

  Cat Gods Goddesses Deities and...

  Discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god. This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.

  Spider-Man - The Ultimate Trivia...

  SPIDER-MAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a teenager who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. His powers include enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a precognitive “spider-sense”. He uses self-designed wrist-mounted web shooters. Initially using his powers for personal gain, Peter embraces heroism after his Uncle Ben's death, learning, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Spider-Man is unique for his teenage perspective, lacking a mentor, and dealing with relatable issues such as rejection and financial struggles. His popularity led to multiple comic series, and he has become a cultural icon appearing in numerous media. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Spider-Man's first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, and the comic was originally intended to be the last issue of the series. The editorial page of that issue, however, anticipated that Spider-Man would be a continuing feature in future issues, even though that was not originally the plan.  
    
  Stan Lee said that the idea for Spider-Man came from seeing a spider climb a wall, but in his autobiography, he admits he's told the story so often that he is unsure if it is true. The pulp magazine character, The Spider, also influenced the creation of Spider-Man, who like that character was wanted by the law and criminal underworld. 
    
  Although teenage superheroes at the time usually had names ending with "boy," Stan Lee chose the name "Spider-Man" because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed. He also added a hyphen to the name because it looked too similar to Superman.
