Bologna nel 2040 ha le sue olimpiadi. L’evento sportivo più importante al mondo sbarca in città. E mentre piovono medaglie e record, una serie inarrestabile di cruenti omicidi sconvolge la manifestazione dei cinque cerchi. Terribili esecuzioni, violente, che coinvolgono gli atleti in gara. Chi ha ucciso le olimpiadi? Le indagini vengono affidate al commissario di polizia Sauro Mescoli, un personaggio che sembra uscito da un fumetto. Poco più di cinquant’anni, ama la buona tavola, adora le ...

Un cortile bolognese come tanti altri, incastrato tra le case di un quartiere popolare, in ballo tra le zone Saffi e Santa Viola e che narra in prima persona. Erba zero, nemmeno a pagarla. Un luogo che si racconta attraverso le storie dei suoi protagonisti, bambini e ragazzi cresciuti tra quelle mura a metà degli anni settanta. Protetti, ma con la voglia di scoprire il mondo. Le partite al pallone tra le auto parcheggiate, gli accampamenti lungo gli scalini di accesso ai portoni dei palazz...

Even if all of the elements we know to be significant in the process of reconciliation were present, reconciliation would not necessarily take place. Reconciliation is a nonlinear, nonalgorithmic process that involves “matters of the heart.” From emergent creativity and its links to mysticism, to the evolution of emotions as drivers of thought, Awakening weaves cutting-edge discoveries in complexity theory with philosophical reflections on consciousness and language, drawing on Lonergan an...

Conflict is inherent in virtually every aspect of human relations, from sport to parliamentary democracy, from fashion in the arts to paradigmatic challenges in the sciences, and from economic activity to intimate relationships. Yet, it can become among the most serious social problems humans face when it loses its constructive features and becomes protracted over time with no obvious means of resolution.This book addresses the subject of intractable social conflict from a new vant...

Negotiating a peaceful end to civil wars, which often includes an attempt to bring together former rival military or insurgent factions into a new national army, has been a frequent goal of conflict resolution practitioners since the Cold War. In practice, however, very little is known about what works, and what doesn’t work, in bringing together former opponents to build a lasting peace.Contributors to this volume assess why some civil wars result in successful military integratio...

"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos". En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones...
