Sinopse

This is Gaza – a place of humanity and creativity, rich in culture and industry. A place now utterly devastated, its entire population displaced by a seemingly endless onslaught, its heritage destroyed.
Daybreak in Gaza is a record of an extraordinary place and people, and of a culture preserved by the people themselves. Vignettes of artists, acrobats, doctors, students, shopkeepers and teachers offer stories of love, life, loss and survival. They display the wealth of Gaza's cultural landscape and the breadth of its history.
Daybreak in Gaza humanises the people dismissed as statistics. It stands as a mark of resistance to the destruction and as a testament to the people of Gaza.

    Políticas y narrativas del cuerpo 2

    Questo libro raccoglie riflessioni e analisi sul corpo a partire da diverse discipline per pensare trasversalmente le esperienze delle corporeità nelle loro concrezioni materiali e simboliche, suscitando un dialogo critico sulle loro capacità di generare pratiche, discorsi e poetiche diverse, dissidenti e complesse oggi.
    In questa seconda edizione si punta a continuare a costruire, attraverso una raccolta biennale, la categoria della corporeità in dialogo con le arti, le scienze sociali e umane. È notevole come la corporeità e le sue politiche e narrazioni diventino malleabili, flessibili e vulnerabili agli sguardi teorici emergenti che ci fanno riflettere permanentemente e pensare ad una mobilità categorica.

    World War III: Humanity Sacrificed is a chilling yet deeply analytical exploration of how the modern world collapsed into global conflict — and why it was inevitable. Written by Murat Aibassov, an engineer who predicted the war more than a decade before it began, the book exposes the hidden architecture of global systems, the cyclic nature of civilizational collapse, and the elite mechanisms that shape history behind the scenes. 
    Blending geopolitics, economics, technology, and ritual dynamics, Aibassov reveals why global crises unfold with mathematical precision — and what humanity must understand to survive what comes next. 
    This is not a book of fear. 
    This is a book of patterns, truth, and the last chance to prepare for the world after the catastrophe.

    "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
     
    Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
     
    Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.
