  What if the nature of reality is built on contradictions? 
  In Parmenides, Plato presents a dialogue unlike any other—one that turns philosophy inward to critique its own foundations. Through a dramatic meeting between Socrates and Parmenides, we’re led into the depths of metaphysical inquiry. Is the theory of Forms coherent? Can one truly speak of “being” without paradox? 
  This modern adaptation brings clarity to Plato’s dense logic and rigorous questioning, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in one of philosophy’s greatest challenges. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A sharp critique of the theory of Forms by the philosopher who first developed it 
  •	A journey through eight logical hypotheses that test the meaning of unity and being 
  •	The philosophical origins of metaphysics and dialectical reasoning 
  •	A clear, modernized translation that makes complex thought more accessible 
  Begin your journey into the heart of ancient metaphysical philosophy today with Parmenides—Plato’s boldest and most enigmatic dialogue.

Travel east to the cradle of civilization with Sumerian Gods and Heroes, uncovering powerful figures such as Enlil, Inanna, and the legendary Gilgamesh. Finally, explore the mythic heart of an empire in Roman Gods and Legends, where Jupiter, Mars, and Venus reflected both divine might and human ambition.

  Quel che ho da dire è che sono...

  Vanzetti nacque a Villafalletto, in provincia di Cuneo, l'11 giugno del 1888, primogenito dei quattro figli di Giovanna Nivello (1862-1907) e Giovanni Battista Vanzetti (1849-1931), modesto proprietario terriero e gestore di una piccola caffetteria. Pur non vivendo in ristrettezze economiche, a spingerlo a emigrare negli Stati Uniti d'America furono soprattutto l'improvvisa e tragica morte dell'amata madre, che lo portò quasi alla follia, e probabilmente una consuetudine familiare (anche il padre era stato emigrante per un breve periodo, dal 1881 al 1883 in California). Fece molti lavori, accettando tutto ciò che gli capitava. Lavorò in varie trattorie, in una cava, in un'acciaieria e in una fabbrica di cordami, la Plymouth Cordage Company. Spirito libero e indipendente, era un avido lettore soprattutto delle opere di Marx, Darwin, Hugo, Gorkij, Tolstoj, Zola e Dante. Nel 1916 guidò uno sciopero contro la Plymouth e per questo motivo nessuno volle più dargli un lavoro. Più tardi, nel 1919, si mise in proprio facendo il pescivendolo fino al momento dell'arresto.

  Gardening at the Margins tells the remarkable story of a diverse group of neighbors working together to grow food and community in the Santa Clara Valley in California. Based on four years of deeply engaged ethnographic field research via a Participatory Action Research project with the people and ecosystems of La Mesa Verde home garden program, Gabriel R. Valle develops a theory of convivial labor to describe how the acts of care among the diverse gardeners—through growing, preparing, and eating food in one of the most income unequal places in the country—are powerful, complex acts of resistance. 
   
   
   
  The individuals featured in the book are imagining and building alternative worlds and futures amid the very real challenges they embody and endure. Climate change, for example, is forcing thousands of migrants to urban areas, which means recent immigrants' traditional environmental, nutritional, and healing knowledge will continue to be threatened by the pervasiveness of modernity and the homogenization of global capitalism. Moreover, once rural people migrate to urban areas, their ability to retain traditional foodways will remain difficult without spaces of autonomy. The stories in this book reveal how people create the physical space to grow food and the political space to enact autonomy to revive and restore agroecological knowledge needed for an uncertain future.
