C'è un conflitto di cui sentiamo parlare da sempre, e sempre più spesso. Una guerra che seguiamo da lontano, ma che continua a influenzare il nostro presente da vicino, perché rivela con chiarezza quanto il mondo stia attraversando una fase di profondo smarrimento. Elia Milani, corrispondente di Mediaset da Gerusalemme, lo sa bene: da otto anni descrive in diretta ciò che accade in Israele e Palestina. In questo libro, senza abbandonare lo sguardo attento del cronista, affianca al reportage un racconto più personale.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Un an avant une élection présidentielle, la "numéro deux" du plus célèbre hebdomadaire de la gauche française est brutalement licenciée.

The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion. Ukraine suffered a loss of territory but was not forced into changing its policies away from the Westward course adopted as a result of the EuroMaidan uprising of February 2014. President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage.

Why are activists in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Burma willing to court danger to help one another? The political situations in Burma, Thailand, and Hong Kong are radically different. Only Burma is in a state of civil war. Only Hong Kong has changed in just a few years from a place with virtually...

American consumers demand choice. The assortment of products in American stores is beyond belief to anyone from the Third World. So why are only two choices for anything political acceptable to Americans? It seems totally illogical. It reminds me of the illogical change in behavior of an addict. These are people who are normal in seemingly every way yet give up everything and everyone in their lives for a drug which is a short-term high, and self-destructive. How can that be? Research has convinced me it's more than coincidence.

A spirited artist with a can-do attitude, Yvonne Wakefield leaves behind a secure life in the lush Pacific Northwest to teach art in the desert state of Kuwait. Over the course of six years, she will instruct university-aged Muslim women, earn her students' trust, and learn the consequences of freedom of expression, taken for granted in one culture but not granted in another.

Eine Naturkatastrophe ist eine natürlich entstandene Veränderung der Erdoberfläche oder der Atmosphäre, die auf Lebewesen und deren Umgebung verheerende Auswirkungen hat. Im engeren Sinne kann ein Naturereignis nur dann zur "Katastrophe" werden, wenn es sich auf Menschen auswirkt...
