Nestes poemas, Fabrício Corsaletti vai a São Sebastião das Três Orelhas, povoado na Serra da Mantiqueira, e passa os dias observando a paisagem, as montanhas, os vales, os ipês. Lá ele ouve as araucárias e os insetos, evocando uma espécie de locus amoenus, mas sem perder o humor e o lirismo que marcam sua poesia.

Compulsive Body Spaces presents a spatial understanding of compulsion. Providing a compelling account of the lives of 15 people with Tourette syndrome, it demystifies the seemingly irrational, purposeless and meaningless character of this behaviour. It demonstrates how attending to the spatial circumstances under which compulsive acts, like touching, ordering, and aligning objects take place, can produce valuable new insights to complement neuroscientific, psychiatric and psychological knowledge.

Llegar a pisar la Luna, alcanzar el Polo Sur, ser capaces de captar y reproducir la voz o poder mandar un correo electrónico desde Barcelona hasta un bar remoto en la selva de Borneo en pocos segundos son logros de la humanidad que tienen un denominador común: la voluntad del Homo sapiens para cruzar fronteras que a muchos congéneres les habían parecido infranqueables. La idea de frontera implica que hay un más allá de ella; también sugiere una diferencia entre lo conocido y lo ignoto, entre la seguridad de lo cierto y el miedo de la incertidumbre.

«Si fa presto a dire pace. Quando finisce una guerra, restano irrisolti innumerevoli problemi generati di norma da dettagli trascurati per ragioni di necessità. Anche quando è ben chiaro il confine che divide i vincitori dagli sconfitti, a chi sarà assegnato l'alloro per aver combattuto dalla parte del bene e chi sarà invece dannato come un'incarnazione del male.» Niente di più attuale, verrebbe da dire.

Despite the flames of record-breaking temperatures licking at our feet, most people fail to fully grasp the gravity of environmental overheating. What acquired habits and conveniences allow us to turn a blind eye with an air of detachment? Using examples from the hottest places on earth, Heat, a History shows how scientific methods of accounting for heat and modern forms of acclimatization have desensitized us to climate change.

The Variable of Violence will review exactly that, the aggression, chaos, and tension that broils in and through us. Specifically, the seemingly endless battles we face in our journey to understand God, the purpose of work, those whom we associate with, and our own susceptibilities.

Tip of the Spear boldly and compellingly argues that prisons are a domain of hidden warfare within US borders. With this book, Orisanmi Burton explores what he terms the Long Attica Revolt, a criminalized tradition of Black radicalism that propelled rebellions in New York prisons during the 1970s. The reaction to this revolt illuminates what Burton calls prison pacification: the coordinated tactics of violence, isolation, sexual terror, propaganda, reform, and white supremacist science and technology that state actors use to eliminate Black resistance within and beyond prison walls.

Legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities.
