We are naturally drawn to smooth, harmonious movement. Both social and physical graces have been taught since the dawn of civilization. Yet grace seems forgotten in our pushy, hectic modern world. Sarah L. Kaufman argues that we bring it back. She celebrates grace in the way bodies move, exploring how to stand, walk, and dress well. She deplores the rarity of grace among public figures and glories in it where found (Beyoncé at a fashion show).

Radio hosts form a deep bond with their audience, which gives them enormous political power. Unlike elected representatives, however, they must entertain their audience or watch their ratings fall. Talk radio boosted the Republican agenda in the 1990s, but two decades later, escalation in the battle for the airwaves pushed hosts toward ever more conservative, outrageous, and hyperbolic content. Donald Trump borrowed conservative radio hosts' playbook and gave Republican base voters the kind of pugnacious candidate they had been demanding for decades.

Imagine forging deep connections in weeks—even if urban isolation has kept you disconnected for years. Do fleeting interactions leave you longing for lasting connection?

Many young professionals and recent graduates feel trapped in the paradox of modern loneliness—surrounded by people yet struggling to find meaning–yet there’s hope!

Politics are a detail in the story of what we call ideology. After a six-year effort that involved three tours of the US, help from dozens of the world's top academic experts, and hundreds of interviews with conservatives, writer and researcher J. Scott Wagner brings us on a rollicking tour of the conservative mind, looking at them through the lens of five sciences: neurology/cognitive psychology, personality, bias, social conformity, and morality.

Quarant’anni dopo la scomparsa degli Architetti, il più grande nemico alieno della galassia è tornato, e questa volta i manufatti che hanno preservato interi pianeti dalla distruzione risultano inefficaci. I mondi delle colonie umane rischiano l’estinzione. Alcuni credono che le alleanze con altre specie possano salvarli. Altri insistono che l’umanità debba combattere da sola. Ma nessuno ha né la capacità offensiva né la tecnologia sufficienti per garantire la vittoria. Nel frattempo, la minaccia degli Architetti si fa sempre più vicina.

Ottant’anni prima, la Terra venne distrutta da un nemico alieno. Molti fuggirono mentre altri, in milioni, morirono. L’umanità creò dei nuovi esseri umani potenziandoli come Idris, in modo che potessero comunicare tramite la mente con i loro aggressori.

Da quando hanno ricondizionato la sua mente durante la guerra, Idris non è né invecchiato né stanco.
