  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.

  How Did Life End Up With Us? -...

  Why does the gene behave like a hedge fund manager? Why are mutations like a gambling scam? Why does nothing ever become top dog in life and win forever? Humans only arrived after 99.99% of the time there’s been life on earth. So what was here before us? And how did these species, and the evolutionary process that created them, end up with the unpromising creatures that were our ancestors?In this, the first book of The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O’Connor brings his outsider’s, questioning eye to reveal the great forces that lie behind life: from the laws that arose with Big Bang, through to the ‘decisions’ that organisms make to determine their chances.But how did everything come about? And what made some life forms succeed - while others would join the 99.9% of species that appeared, yet went on to become extinct? The story goes right back to our single-celled forebears - the only things that were on the planet for 80% of its existence, and then continues as it lays out the ways that successive transmissions built increasing complexity, and how the resulting species found their synergistic ways of coexisting.  In an easy-going, conversational style, O'Connor explains in lay-man's language how the gene is the great conductor of life’s orchestra, how it helped millions of life forms to refine themselves - yet why it also sees failure, death and extinctions as opportunities rather than disasters.  Last, the book tells the story of the men who unpicked the mysteries, what they meant by fitness and ‘the fittest’, but why they continued to be baffled by organisms that broke the rules by helping each other. Why would some even choose to be sterile when producing the next generation was the overriding compulsion in life? And why would the answer to this question explain why altruism is the proof for the ‘gene-based theory of evolution’ - and why cooperation was to become the strongest force in life?

  This collection brings together three powerful narratives from diverse cultures, each telling stories of cleverness, bravery, and the battle between good and evil. 
  The first story takes you through the myths of The Trickster Gods, devious and mischievous deities who use wit and cunning to challenge the status quo. Often playing pranks on gods and humans alike, these figures represent chaos and creativity, teaching important lessons about the consequences of trickery and the unpredictable nature of life. From the Norse Loki to the African Anansi, these tricksters serve as both villains and saviors, weaving their own kind of order out of disorder. 
  Next, venture into The Heroes of Myth, timeless figures whose valor and determination have inspired generations. These legendary warriors—like Hercules, Achilles, and Perseus—embody the ideals of courage, honor, and the willingness to face great challenges for the greater good. Their stories, filled with monsters, gods, and impossible feats, have shaped the way we view heroism and sacrifice across cultures and time periods. 
  Finally, explore Native American Legends, a rich tapestry of stories passed down through generations of indigenous peoples. These legends highlight the deep connection between humans, nature, and the spiritual world. From powerful tricksters like Coyote to brave heroes who protect their communities, these myths are filled with wisdom, moral lessons, and reflections on the balance between the material and spiritual realms. 
  Tricksters and Heroes invites readers to embrace the complexity of human nature through the lens of mythology, where mischief, valor, and everything in between reveal truths about the world we live in.

  "Social Security Basics" is a comprehensive yet accessible guide that demystifies the complex world of Social Security benefits. Author Devin Carroll, drawing from his extensive experience helping distressed and confused clients, has created this essential resource to help readers confidently navigate the Social Security system. 
  The book is strategically divided into two main parts. The first part covers the fundamental aspects of Social Security that are crucial for everyone to understand. The second part specifically addresses the unique rules and considerations for public servants, with detailed explanations of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). 
  Carroll's motivation for writing this book stemmed from witnessing firsthand how the complicated and verbose nature of Social Security rules often left people frustrated and potentially missing out on their rightful benefits. Through years of studying, speaking engagements, and writing about Social Security, he realized that most questions could be answered through a solid grasp of the basic principles.
