La scomparsa prematura di James Gandolfini, il mitico Tony Soprano, ripropone l’originaria confusione tra realtà, arte e pensiero. All’inizio era il teatro, per i greci antichi luogo di farsa e tragedia della vita, palcoscenico del pensiero, dei suoi incubi e delle sue utopie. Oggi sono gli effetti speciali e l’estetica assoluta delle serie tv, tra cui I Soprano spicca per la potenza catartica di una mirabile rappresentazione della violenza. Uccido dunque sono. Tra darwinismo sociale da tardo capitalismo consumistico ed eterni istinti dell’animale uomo, questo libro si addentra nella filosofia che ci tiene incollati al video anche per le scene più scabrose. A farci spalancare occhi e mente non è il lato morboso del voyeurismo, ma l’eterna sete del sapere. La sete che vede rappresentate degnamente tutte le sfumature dell’essere umano solo nei migliori prodotti della società dello spettacolo. Dove l’eterna sovrapposizione tra realtà e finzione è solo l’inizio della scienza.

Richard Greene has been writing poetry intensively since he retired from a 38-year career in international development in the mid-1990s. A lawyer by training, he fell into his development career by accident when, after law school, though planning not to practice law but interested in international affairs, he accepted an unsolicited job offer from the U.S. Agency for International Development. After a few years in Washington (or Foggy Bottom, as the location of the U.S. foreign policy establishment is known), he was assigned as legal advisor to the USAID mission in Laos and there discovered that the development business suited his interests and inclinations very well. Greene wrote poetry beginning in the 8th grade and continued through college where he studied with a Professor, Henry Rago, who later became editor of Poetry magazine, the leading U.S. poetry journal. However, he wrote few poems after law school as he became absorbed in international development, but turned back to poetry as he neared retirement.

Zombie e vampiri hanno conquistato il centro della cultura pop, come protagonisti di serie tv, fumetti, cartoni, videogames e film. Questo libro porta le teorie di filosofi come Socrate e Cartesio nei territori dei non morti, per interrogare queste oscure creature su questioni sociali e filosofiche. Vampiri e vegetariani, in fondo, non condividono la stessa visione del mondo? E gli zombie possono aiutarci a comprendere l'essenzialità della riforma sanitaria negli Stati Uniti? E ancora: cosa potrebbe significare il famoso detto "mente sana in corpo sano" per vampiri e zombie? Le risposte a queste e altre domande attendono i lettori abbastanza intrepidi da lasciarsi coinvolgere in questa filosofica e divertente scorreria nel mondo dei non morti.

A collection of poems on aging, such as: I See Myself Becoming Old My closet is full of suits I don't wear anymore. Nothing I need to wear them for. There are days when I stay in my pajamas till noon. I picture my heirs looking at my wardrobe one day asking "Can you think of anyone who can use these or should we give them to Goodwill?" Or, "Would you like this tie as a remembrance of Dad?" As I read the obits of the recently deceased, which I took to doing a few years ago, I compare their ages to mine. Then there's the arthritis in my hands and feet. My left foot aches when I walk and I suffered a rupture in a time-worn tendon not long ago. I have more trouble lifting things and getting around. Don't jump over puddles anymore for fear of the damage I might do coming down. (No more kicking up heels for me.) What will it be next, the incipient cataracts? My hearing isn't what it used to be. I don't think I need a hearing aid yet, though my daughter disagrees. Or will it be something unforeseen like that ill-fated tendon? I see myself becoming old, yet it's as if I were watching it happen to somebody else.

A collection of poems describing the exterior world, such as: Orinocos of the Imagination I've never been to the Orinoco and have seen few photos of it, but I feel I know its sinuous lengths, winding between thick jungle walls, flashing silver in the sun, delicate waterfalls threading from cloud-shrouded cliffs, dense foliage adorned with birds of kindergarten colors and jaguars that merge into shadow, the insistent music of bird cry and monkey chatter, dugouts and caimans scoring its sleek waters, those who people its valley gliding nearly naked through twilight forests, dappled by the distant sun. I know these lush landscapes from my dreams.

The Broken Guitar by Richard Greene is a collection of poems about war: Memorial Reading the name of a young man who died in war saddens us. Yet more the names of thousands engraved in granite, or marble, their parents' hopes and dreams interred in stone. All that remains are a few keepsakes, and memories of newborns, toddlers, vulnerable boys, youths becoming men, those now sad memories, and names carved in cold stone. Who wanted those wars? Their leaders of course, but all too often those same young men, and all too often those who mourn for them.

Befriended by a slave and the captain of a riverboat, a young runaway named Joseph Greene found adventure on the river and the love of a your Mary McAlexander. The Civil War would not only test their love for one another but the faith of the McAlexander, Chrisman, and Patterson families as each endured the war's death and destruction.

"You hold in your hands a story of vision, innovation and proof of the power of the gospel." DR. ERWIN LUTZER, Pastor Emeritus Moody Church Carlos was a master cocaine producer for drug lord Pablo Escobar. In officially atheistic Albania, Berti monitored the airwaves to help defend his communist homeland. Rachid grew up in Morocco, preparing to one day lead a local mosque - like his father. How would any of them ever have the opportunity to hear the good news that Jesus Christ died on the cross to give them new, eternal life? In the middle of the 20th century, Paul Freed founded Trans World Radio based on a vision: Media could overcome cultural, political and geographic barriers to help the Church make disciples of all nations. Seven decades later, TWR continues making waves by leveraging radio, multimedia websites, animated Bible videos and more to bring the gospel to hostile lands, places missionaries can't go and unreached people groups in over 230 languages. Making Waves compellingly weaves together listener testimonies like those of Carlos, Berti and Rachid with reports and personal accounts by TWR staff and leaders. Authors Richard Greene and John Lundy paint a dynamic portrait of how the Lord is using TWR, its partners and media to transform individuals' lives. We hope it will embolden God's calling in your own life!
