** WINNER OF THE PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZE 2021 **\n\n'Beautiful, evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox\n\n'Important reading not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours, but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari\n\nKindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.\n\nRebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval.\n\nMuch of what defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside us. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality. Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us, revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our ancient, shared inheritance.

How should we treat non-human animals? In this immensely powerful and influential book (now with a new introduction by Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari), the renowned moral philosopher Peter Singer addresses this simple question with trenchant, dispassionate reasoning. Accompanied by the disturbing evidence of factory farms and laboratories, his answers triggered the birth of the animal rights movement.\n\n'An extraordinary book which has had extraordinary effects... Widely known as the bible of the animal liberation movement' Independent on Sunday\n\nIn the decades since this landmark classic first appeared, some public attitudes to animals may have changed but our continued abuse of animals in factory farms and as tools for research shows that the underlying ideas Singer exposes as ethically indefensible are still dominating the way we treat animals. As Yuval Harari's brilliantly argued introduction makes clear, this book is as relevant now as the day it was written.

'A well-written and thought-provoking account of the current crisis of globalization. Not everyone will agree with Eyal's interpretation, but few will remain indifferent.' - Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens\n\nRevolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the rise of nationalism and populism today. With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern globalization is unsustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current world order is not so much about the imbalance between technological advances and social progress, or the breakdown of liberal democracy, as it is about a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow, corrupt, or simply unresponsive to urgent needs. Eyal illuminates the forces both benign and malignant that have so rapidly transformed our economic, political, and cultural realities, shedding light not only on the globalized revolution that has come to define our time but also on the counterrevolution waged by those who globalization has marginalized and exploited.\n\nWith a mixture of journalistic narrative, penetrating vignettes, and original analysis, Revolt shows that within the mainstream the left and right have much in common. Teasing out the connections among distressed Pennsylvania coal miners, anarchists in communes on the outskirts of Athens, neo-Nazis in Germany, and Syrian refugee families whom he accompanied from the shores of Greece to their destination in Germany, Eyal shows how their stories feed our current state of unrest. More than just an analysis of the present, though, Revolt also takes a hard look at lessons from the past, from the Opium Wars in China to colonialist Haiti to the Marshall Plan. With these historical ties, Eyal shows that the roots of revolt have always been deep and strong. The current uprisings are no passing phenomenon - revolt is the new status quo.

Centomila anni fa almeno sei specie di umani abitavano la Terra. Erano animali insignificanti, il cui impatto sul pianeta non era superiore a quello di gorilla, lucciole o meduse. Oggi sulla terra c’è una sola specie di umani. Noi: Homo sapiens.\r\n«Affronta i grandi interrogativi della storia e dell'uomo moderno con un linguaggio vivido e indelebile» – Jared Diamond\r\n\r\n«Un viaggio divertente e curioso nella storia dell'umanità. Una lettura che vi terrà incollati fino all'ultima pagina» – Bill Gates\r\nSiamo i signori del pianeta. Il segreto del nostro successo è l'immaginazione. Siamo gli unici animali capaci di parlare di cose che esistono solo nelle nostre fantasie: come le divinità, le nazioni, le leggi e i soldi. \"Sapiens. Da animali a dè\"i spiega come ci siamo associati per creare città, regni e imperi; come abbiamo costruito la fiducia nei soldi, nei libri e nelle leggi; come ci siamo ritrovati schiavi della burocrazia, del consumismo e della ricerca della felicità.

_______________\n\n'A fascinating exploration that challenges our basic assumptions of what work means' - Yuval Noah Harari\n\n'There is eminently underlinable stuff on most pages ... Fascinating' - The Times\n\n'One of those few books that will turn your customary ways of thinking upside down' - Susan Cain\n\n'Illuminating' - New Statesman\n_______________\n\nA revolutionary new history of humankind through the prism of work, from the origins of life on Earth to our ever more automated present\n\nThe work we do brings us meaning, moulds our values, determines our social status and dictates how we spend most of our time. But this wasn't always the case: for 95% of our species' history, work held a radically different importance.\n\nHow, then, did work become the central organisational principle of our societies? How did it transform our bodies, our environments, our views on equality and our sense of time? And why, in a time of material abundance, are we working more than ever before?

The author of the international bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind looks at covert operations and assassination plots in the medieval period, matching anything to be found in our own era.\n\nAlongside the familiar pitched battles, regular sieges, and large-scale manoeuvres, medieval and early modern wars also involved assassination, abduction, treason and sabotage. These undercover operations were aimed chiefly against key individuals, mostly royalty or the leaders of the opposing army, and against key fortified places, including bridges, mills and dams. However, because of their clandestine nature, these deeds of \"derring-do\" have not been studied in any detail, a major gap which this book fills. It surveys a wide variety of special operations, from the eleventh to the sixteenth century. It then analyzes in greater depth six select and exciting operations: the betrayal of Antioch in 1098; the attempt to rescue King Baldwin II from the dungeon of Khartpert in 1123; the assassination of Conrad of Montferrat in 1192; the attempt to storm Calais in 1350; the \"dirty war\" waged by the rulers of France and Burgundy in the 1460s and 1470s; and the demolition of the flour mill of Auriol in 1536.\n\n \"A portrait of espionage, covert operations, assassination squads, and the deep penetration of seemingly invulnerable fortresses or security systems matching anything to be found in the war stories of the modern era.\" MATTHEW BENNETT, SANDHURST.\n\n Professor YUVAL NOAH HARARI teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and is the author of the international bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.

In un mondo alluvionato da informazioni irrilevanti, la lucidità è potere. La censura non opera bloccando il flusso di informazioni, ma inondando le persone di disinformazione e distrazioni. \"21 lezioni per il XXI secolo\" si fa largo in queste acque torbide e affronta alcune delle questioni più urgenti dell'agenda globale contemporanea. Perché la democrazia liberale è in crisi? Dio è tornato? Sta per scoppiare una nuova guerra mondiale? Che cosa significa l'ascesa di Donald Trump? Che cosa si può fare per contrastare l'epidemia di notizie false? Quali civiltà domineranno il pianeta: l'Occidente, la Cina, l'islam? L'Europa deve tenere le porte aperte ai migranti? Il nazionalismo può risolvere i problemi causati dalla disuguaglianza e dai cambiamenti climatici? In che modo potremo difenderci dal terrorismo? Che cosa dobbiamo insegnare ai nostri figli? Miliardi di noi possono a stento permettersi il lusso di approfondire queste domande, perché siamo pressati da ben altre urgenze: lavorare, prenderci cura dei figli o dare assistenza ai genitori anziani. Purtroppo la storia non fa sconti. Se il futuro dell'umanità viene deciso in vostra assenza, poiché siete troppo occupati a dar da mangiare e a vestire i vostri figli, voi e loro ne subirete comunque le conseguenze. Certo è parecchio ingiusto; ma chi ha mai detto che la storia è giusta? Un libro non può dare alla gente né cibo né vestiti, ma può fare e offrire un po' di chiarezza, contribuendo ad appianare le differenze nel gioco globale. Se questo libro servirà ad aggiungere al dibattito sul futuro della nostra specie anche solo un ristretto gruppo di persone, allora avrà raggiunto il suo scopo.

Gran parte dei libri di storia sono pieni di re, regine e generali. Ma da dove vengono tutti? Ti sei mai chiesto perché alcuni vivono in un palazzo e danno ordini a destra e a manca, mentre altri devono pulire il palazzo o obbedire agli ordini? Nel secondo volume della sua serie best-seller per ragazzi, il celebre autore e storico Yuval Noah Harari spiega come una rivoluzione avvenuta 10.000 anni fa influisca ancora sul modo in cui viviamo oggi. Ci mostra dove tutto è andato storto e come potremmo ancora raddrizzare le cose. Scoprirai come un innocente esperimento sulla coltivazione del grano portò alle carestie, alle pestilenze e alla guerra. Scoprirai come gli antichi smanettoni svilupparono la scrittura e perché dobbiamo pagare le tasse. Incontrerai due scheletri chiacchieroni, un coccodrillo con un paio di orecchini d'oro e cinquanta miliardi di polli depressi e scoprirai come la capacità umana di controllare le piante e gli animali ha portato alcuni esseri umani a cercare di controllarsi a vicenda. Noi inarrestabili: perché il mondo è ingiusto è un'avventura epica che è anche una storia vera, raccontata con grande chiarezza e umorismo. Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Oggi è più probabile che l'uomo medio muoia per un'abbuffata da McDonald's piuttosto che per la siccità, il virus Ebola o un attacco di al-Qaida. Nel XXI secolo, in un mondo ormai libero dalle epidemie, economicamente prospero e in pace, coltiviamo con strumenti sempre più potenti l'ambizione antica di elevarci al rango di divinità, di trasformare «Homo sapiens» in «Homo Deus». E allora cosa accadrà quando robotica, intelligenza artificiale e ingegneria genetica saranno messe al servizio della ricerca dell'immortalità e della felicità eterna?

Il primo volume della versione illustrata del bestseller internazionale sulla storia dell'uomo.In un mondo alluvionato da informazioni irrilevanti la lucidità è potere. Ma come si fa a cogliere il quadro generale senza perdersi in un'infinità di rivoli e dettagli? Facciamo un passo indietro e guardiamo davvero al quadro generale: la storia della specie umana. Sapiens. La nascita dell'umanità è la storia di come una scimmia insignificante divenne la signora della Terra, capace di scindere il nucleo di un atomo, volare sulla Luna e manipolare il codice genetico della vita. Una squadra di ricercatori – Prehistorik Bill, Dr. Fiction, la detective Lopez – capitanati da Yuval Noah Harari in persona guida il lettore a esplorare il lato selvaggio della storia. L'evoluzione umana viene reinventata come un reality show televisivo; il primo incontro tra Sapiens e Neanderthal è raffigurato attraverso i capolavori dell'arte moderna; l'estinzione dei mammut e delle tigri dai denti a sciabola è raccontata come un giallo. L'adattamento di Sapiens. Da animali a dèi in forma di graphic novel è una rivisitazione radicale e profondamente divertente della storia dell'umanità a partire dal longseller internazionale che ha venduto 16 milioni di copie in 60 lingue. Il tono umoristico è pensato per catturare l'interesse di chi finora ha preferito tenersi alla larga da scienza e storia. Ecco l'occasione giusta per cambiare idea.

Il secondo volume della versione illustrata del bestseller internazionale sulla storia dell'uomo.Quando Homo sapiens addomesticò alcuni animali e certe piante, poté abbandonare lo stile di vita nomade per adottarne uno sedentario. Vivere insieme agli altri stimolò la nascita di credenze e miti condivisi. Grazie a un immaginario comune i gruppi umani, nel frattempo accresciuti di numero, si lanciarono in progetti sempre più ambiziosi come la fondazione di città e regni, dando vita alle prime civiltà della storia. Questo secondo volume del graphic novel tratto dal bestseller Sapiens. Da animali a dèi continua la narrazione là dove Yuval Noah Harari l'aveva lasciata: Homo sapiens è l'unico a essere sopravvissuto all'estinzione delle altre specie umane e di gran parte dei grandi mammiferi, ed è pronto a conquistare il mondo. Ma si trattò davvero di una marcia trionfale? A questa domanda risponderà un gruppo assai eterogeneo di personaggi, tra cui lo stesso prof. Harari, che con autoironia interpreta se stesso, Doctor Fiction, con una passione a tratti pericolosa per le finzioni e i miti collettivi, il diabolico Mefistofele, che nei panni di un'umile spiga di grano cambierà il destino dell'uomo, la rigorosa ma non sempre equa Lady Justice, e infine l'acuto e gentile avvocato praghese Franz K. che ci aiuterà a vedere al di là del labirinto di regole in cui ci muoviamo – o rimaniamo intrappolati. Con Sapiens. I pilastri della civiltà l'analisi storica di Harari trova nel brio narrativo del racconto a fumetti un adattamento divertente e intelligente che non mancherà di entusiasmare tutti gli appassionati del cammino dell'uomo dall'antichità ai giorni nostri.
