What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and #1 bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, David and Goliath, and What the Dog Saw, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers---and why they often go wrong. How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

La Historia Desconocida de Las Mujeres Que Lucharon Contra Los Nazis

La extraordinaria y asombrosa historia de las mujeres que lucharon contra los nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. «Una investigación excepcional, fascinante.» The Wall Street Journal «Vibra de orgullo y rabia.» The New York Times Book Review «Conmovedor, inquietante y magníficamente contado.» The Economist Varsovia, 1943. Testigos del brutal asesinato de sus familias y vecinos y de la destrucción violenta de sus comunidades, un grupo de mujeres judías en Polonia, algunas todavía en la adolescencia, ayudaron a transformar a los grupos de jóvenes judíos en células de resistencia para luchar contra los nazis. Con valor, astucia y nervios de acero, estas "chicas del gueto" sobornaron a los guardias de la Gestapo, escondieron revólveres en hogazas de pan y ayudaron a construir sistemas de búnkeres subterráneos. Actuaron como correos, combatientes y agentes de inteligencia. Sobornaron a los soldados alemanes con vino, whisky y cocina casera, usaron su aspecto ario para seducirlos, y les dispararon y los mataron. Esta obra finalmente saca a la luz la historia de estas increíbles mujeres cuyas hazañas han sido eclipsadas por el tiempo. Judy Batalion, nieta de supervivientes polacos, nos lleva de regreso a 1939 y nos presenta a la joven Renia Kukielka, una contrabandista de armas y mensajera que se juega la vida al cruzar la Polonia ocupada a pie y en tren, y a tantas otras mujeres que pusieron sus vidas en peligro para llevar a cabo sus misiones. Tan trepidante como inspiradora, Hijas de la Resistencia es una historia inolvidable sobre la lucha por la libertad, la amistad femenina y la supervivencia, y una investigación tan apasionante como necesaria.

An Invitation to the Great American Story

We have a glut of text and trade books on American history. But what we don't have is a compact, inexpensive, authoritative, and compulsively readable book that will offer to intelligent young Americans a coherent, persuasive, and inspiring narrative of their own country. Such an account will shape and deepen their sense of the land they inhabit, and by making them understand that land's roots, will equip them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society, and provide them with a vivid and enduring sense of membership in one of the greatest enterprises in human history: the exciting, perilous, and immensely consequential story of their own country. The existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. They are more likely to reflect the skeptical outlook of specialized professional academic historians, an outlook that supports a fragmented and fractured view of modern American society, and that fails to convey to young people the greater arc of that history. Or they reflect the outlook of radical critics of American society, who seek to debunk the standard American narrative, and has had an enormous, and largely negative, upon the teaching of American history in American high schools and colleges. This state of affairs cannot continue for long without producing serious consequences. A great nation needs and deserves a great and coherent narrative, as an expression of its own self-understanding; and it needs to convey that narrative to its young effectively. It perhaps goes without saying that such a narrative cannot be a fairy tale or a whitewash of the past; it will not be convincing if it is not truthful. But there is no necessary contradiction between an honest account and an inspiring one. This account seeks to provide both.

A Graphic Style Manual

The graphic design equivalent to Strunk & White's The Elements of Style This book is simply the most compact and lucid handbook available outlining the basic principles of layout, typography, color usage, and space. Being a creative designer is often about coming up with unique design solutions. Unfortunately, when the basic rules of design are ignored in an effort to be distinctive, design becomes useless. In language, a departure from the rules is only appreciated as great literature if recognition of the rules underlies the text. Graphic design is a "visual language," and brilliance is recognized in designers whose work seems to break all the rules, yet communicates its messages clearly. This book is a fun and accessible handbook that presents the fundamentals of design in lists, tips, brief text, and examples. Chapters include Graphic Design: What It Is; What Are They and What Do They Do?; 20 Basic Rules of Good Design; Form and Space-The Basics; Color Fundamentals; Choosing and Using Type; The World of Imagery; Putting it All Together?Essential Layout Concepts; The Right Design Choices: 20 Reminders for Working Designers; and Breaking the Rules: When and Why to Challenge all the Rules of this Book.
