A magical mystery tour of the extraordinary historical characters
that have defined the unique spiritual landscape of New Orleans.
New Orleans has long been America’s most magical city, inhabited by a
fascinating visible and invisible world, full of mysteries, known for
its decadence and haunted by its spirits. If Salem, Massachusetts, is
famous for its persecution of witches, New Orleans is celebrated for its
embrace of the magical, mystical, and paranormal. New Orleans is
acclaimed for its witches, ghosts, and vampires. Because of its unique
history, New Orleans is the historical stronghold of traditional African
religions and spirituality in the US. No other city worldwide is as
associated with Vodou as New Orleans.
In her new book, author
and scholar Denise Alvarado takes us on a magical tour of New Orleans.
There is a mysterious spiritual underbelly hiding in plain sight in New
Orleans, and in this book Alvarado shows us where it is and who the
characters are. She tells where they come from and how they persist and
manifest today. Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints
shines a light on notable spirits and folk saints such as Papa Legba,
Annie Christmas, Black Hawk, African-American culture hero Jean St.
Malo, St. Expedite, plague saint Roch, and, of course, the mother and
father of New Orleans Voudou, Marie Laveau and Doctor John Montenée. Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints serves as a secret history of New Orleans, revealing details even locals may not know.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
«“La morte è la vergogna che avvelena la vita di chi resta”. Lo diceva mio padre, quando mi guardava scomparire nel materasso. E piangere, pensando alle opinioni dei signori.Chi muore, almeno, non deve più curarsene.Mi capita ancora di ripensare al soffitto della mia stanza in quella casa. Un intonaco bianco, con una vena verde. Amavo navigarla con gli occhi da una punta all’altra per ore e ore.Era il mio rifugio, il mio vantaggio su quel mondo tremendo di padri e padroni sovrapposti”»

Un libro per conoscere e visitare 35 meravigliosi borghi della Valle
d'Aosta, una regione che è uno scrigno prezioso, protetto dalle montagne
più alte e spettacolari d'Europa. Ma oltre alle straordinarie ricchezze
naturalistiche e paesaggistiche, che hanno reso la Vallée una meta
privilegiata di turismo estivo e invernale, la regione più piccola
d'Italia conserva un patrimonio di piccoli centri urbani che ha pochi
eguali: gioielli intatti, spesso nascosti o poco conosciuti, unici per
storia, architettura, contesto ambientale. Antichi castelli, edilizia
alpina, capolavori d'arte, cultura materiale e prodotti tipici unici. Da
Pont-Saint-Martin a Gressoney-Saint-Jean, da Champorcher ad Antagnod,
da Introd a Morgex, dalla valle centrale alle vallate laterali. Per ogni
borgo, approfondimenti tematici per conoscere meglio i luoghi, schede
tecniche con cartine, tutte le informazioni utili per la visita, un
apparato iconografico realizzato ad hoc.
In 300 ricette tradizionali Il patrimonio gastronomico che non ti
aspetti I prodotti migliori della terra al servizio di una cucina tipica
Molti la conoscono come un paradiso della natura e della civiltà, ma
non tutti sanno che di sublime la Valle d'Aosta vanta anche il
patrimonio gastronomico. Le rastrelliere di legno che raccolgono le
forme di pane, bianco, giallo e nero; il fuoco sempre acceso per cuocere
minestre, zuppe, insaccati e carni, i paioli di rame neri di fumo che
si trasformano in magico crogiolo per la polenta giallo-oro che
staziona, bofonchiando impaziente: la civiltà della tavola della regione
è sommessa e al tempo stesso nobile. Dagli orti, dai campi, dai
frutteti provengono prodotti semplici e antichi; dai boschi, funghi,
castagne, frutti selvatici; dalle pendici cacciagione regale. E dai
vigneti, tra i più elevati d'Europa, vini deliziosi per colore, profumo e
assaggio, indispensabili, come nessun altro, per accompagnare le
appetitose vivande: crostoni con la fonduta, crocchette di fontina,
jambon de bosses, lardo di Arnad, mocetta, cannelloni, tortelloni e
tagliatelle alla valdostana, favu, viandon, caillettes, camoscio
stufato, capriolo, soça a la cogneintze, purè di noci fresche e, per
finire, ciambelline d'Aosta, coppette di Monte Bianco, torcetti di Saint
Vincent, torta cretobleintze e altre dolci prelibatezze.
Il trekking, le alte vie, i rifugi, le imprese alpinistiche, i castelli,
la geologia, la meteorologia, i fiori di alta quota, le cascate di
ghiaccio, le piste da sci... Di guide dedicate alla Valle d'Aosta ne
esistono di tutti i tipi e di tutti i formati. Ma questa è una guida che
vuole aggiungere un tocco di umanità a una terra troppo spesso
imprigionata nelle immagini delle vette innevate da cartolina. Si
propone infatti di offrire a chi ci è già stato e a chi vi si avventura
per la prima volta le prospettive giuste per innamorarsi di una regione
magica, la più piccola d'Italia, che ha da raccontare molto più di
quanto si pensi. Ecco allora 101 suggerimenti per godere appieno le
straordinarie bellezze del territorio e per conoscere le tipiche usanze
del popolo valdostano: 101 spunti e sorprendenti curiosità che dipingono
con affetto e ironia il volto reale e genuino di una terra ancora
troppo poco conosciuta. Il trekking, le alte vie, i rifugi, le imprese
alpinistiche, i castelli, la geologia, la meteorologia, i fiori di alta
quota, le cascate di ghiaccio, le piste da sci...
Gli affascinanti e talvolta selvaggi laghi alpini sono un richiamo in
tutte le stagioni. I 35 itinerari proposti vi porteranno alla scoperta
dei laghi della Val d'Aosta con facili camminate nella natura adatte a
tutta la famiglia. Passerete in ampi prati popolati da placide mucche,
vi addentrerete in parchi ricchi di fauna, attraverserete ampie valli
panoramiche, sarete al cospetto di ghiacciai eterni e cascate. E
arrivati a destinazione il divertimento per i bambini e i ragazzi
continua: potranno immergere i piedi, pescare, lanciare le pietre
facendole rimbalzare sul pelo dell'acqua e tanto altro. Gli autori hanno
percorso tutti gli itinerari insieme alla loro figlia Nora e forniscono
indicazioni dettagliate riguardo la difficoltà, il dislivello e il
tempo di percorrenza; non mancano consigli su come muoversi e vestirsi e
dove rivolgersi in caso di emergenza.
Sullo sfondo ci sono i giganti delle Alpi: il Monte Bianco, il Monte
Rosa, il Gran Paradiso, il Cervino. Ai loro piedi si scoprono ghiacciai,
cascate e torrenti, infinite distese di pascoli, fitti boschi di
larici. Un mondo dove chi cammina può incontrare marmotte, aquile,
camosci, straordinarie fioriture. E naturalmente gli stambecchi, che il
Parco del Gran Paradiso ha salvato dall’estinzione. Ma la Valle d’Aosta,
come tutte le Alpi, ospita l’uomo da millenni. Nelle valli, e spesso
lungo i sentieri, si scoprono borghi suggestivi e castelli, strade
romane, chiese e cappelle affrescate, le mulattiere di caccia di re
Vittorio Emanuele II, le malghe utilizzate da secoli dagli allevatori e
dal loro bestiame. I rifugi alpini, mete privilegiate degli
escursionisti, raccontano al visitatore di oggi secoli di avventure ad
alta quota.

A stirring, witty, and poignant glimpse into the bewildering American
immigrant experience from someone who has lived it. Also, a mirror held
up to America.
Into the maelstrom of unprecedented
contemporary debates about immigrants in the United States, this
perfectly timed book gives us a portrait of what the new immigrant
experience in America is really like. Written as a "guide" for the newly
arrived, and providing "practical information and advice," Roya
Hakakian, an immigrant herself, reveals what those who settle here love
about the country, what they miss about their homes, the cruelty of some
Americans, and the unceasing generosity of others. She captures the
texture of life in a new place in all its complexity, laying bare both
its beauty and its darkness as she discusses race, sex, love, death,
consumerism, and what it is like to be from a country that is in
America's crosshairs. Her tenderly perceptive and surprisingly humorous
account invites us to see ourselves as we appear to others, making it
possible for us to rediscover our many American gifts through the
perspective of the outsider. In shattering myths and embracing painful
contradictions that are unique to this place, A Beginner's Guide to America is Hakakian's candid love letter to America.
From a noted Cambridge zoologist, a wildly fun and scientifically
sound exploration of what alien life must be like, using universal laws
that govern life on Earth and in space.
Scientists are
confident that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Yet rather than
taking a realistic approach to what aliens might be like, we imagine
that life on other planets is the stuff of science fiction. The time has
come to abandon our fantasies of space invaders and movie monsters and
place our expectations on solid scientific footing.
But short of
aliens landing in New York City, how do we know what they are like?
Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory
of evolution--which applies throughout the universe--Cambridge zoologist
Dr. Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like: how these
creatures will move, socialize, and communicate. For example, by
observing fish whose electrical pulses indicate social status, we can
see that other planets might allow for communication by electricity. As
there was evolutionary pressure to wriggle along a sea floor, Earthling
animals tend to have left/right symmetry; on planets where creatures
evolved in midair or in soupy tar, they might be lacking any symmetry at
all.
Might there be an alien planet with supersonic animals? A
moon where creatures have a language composed of smells? Will aliens
scream with fear, act honestly, or have technology? The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy answers these questions using the latest science to tell the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space.
From the dawn of time, keeping others safe from harm has primarily been
an exercise in assessing and managing risks. Those who have excelled at
identifying risks and figuring out ways to eliminate as many of those
risks as possible, while effectively managing those which remain have
not only survived but flourished within the secure transportation
profession.Since 218 A.D., when a carriage in which Chinese Emperor Qin
Shi Huang was traveling was attacked by a hammer wielding would-be
assassin, the security professionals responsible for managing the safety
and security risks faced by public figures - ranging from corporate
executives and government officials to entertainers and high net worth
individuals - have come to understand a universal truth. The highest
risk period of time for those they are responsible for protecting is
when they are moving from one location to another by vehicle.Relying on
lessons learned from decades of planning, managing, and providing secure
transportation, as well as training others to do the same, this book
explores the strategies and tactics that have been proven effective at
providing the framework needed to successfully manage and mitigate those
risks.
Help your relationships and your body with this definitive guide on
sleep for couples—with proven strategies to improve both sleep and
relationship health—by a clinical psychologist named as one of the top
experts on the science of sleep.
Dr. Wendy Troxel is a

books like Arianna Huffington's The Sleep Revolution and Dr. Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep.
Dr. Troxel's mission is teaching couples to prioritize sleep and
