ill., ril. L'11 agosto 2014 Robin Williams, attore premio Oscar e comico di fama internazionale, si toglie la vita nella sua casa di Tiburon, in California. Il mondo è sotto shock, nessuno riesce a spiegarsi - tranne forse pochi intimi quali possano essere le cause di un gesto così estremo. Nei giorni successivi si scoprirà che Williams aveva a lungo combattuto una battaglia impari contro la depressione e le dipendenze. Chi lo ha conosciuto è rimasto folgorato dall'esuberanza incontenibile e dalla sensibilità di un uomo che è stato in grado di far ridere intere generazioni di spettatori. Un vero genio della risata, passato dagli spettacoli di cabaret ai red carpet e alle produzioni milionarie senza mai perdere la sua inesauribile vena comica; nel corso degli anni l'attore ha interpretato con successo numerosi ruoli, spaziando dalla commedia al genere drammatico. Per tutti Robin Williams è stato una presenza rassicurante, sempre generosa, capace di regalare un sorriso anche nei momenti di difficoltà e per questo motivo la sua scomparsa appare ancora più dolorosa e irreparabile. Dietro tanta ironia e tanta energia si nascondeva un uomo fragile e indifeso, inseguito da incubi e paure. Il volume di Emily Herbert celebra la vita e la carriera di un artista che ha fatto sorridere il mondo intero.

br. Jean Guitton incontrò Marthe Robin per caso, accompagnando da lei il suo amico ateo, il medico e filosofo Couchoud. Rimase folgorato dal genio di questa umile contadina, che, dal suo letto di dolore e di malattia, illuminava e consigliava le migliaia di persone che venivano a lei attratte dalla sua testimonianza. L'amicizia tra Marthe Robin e Jean Guitton durerà venticinque anni, fino alla morte di Marthe. Ed è proprio questa amicizia che dà autorevolezza alla biografia attraverso la quale l'autore evidenzia e guida a comprendere l'esperienza mistica di Marthe e le sue manifestazioni fisiche collocate all'interno di un orizzonte storico, filosofico, evolutivo e spirituale.

264 pages including index. The social sciences are in turmoil. There is not even any agreement on the nature of the subject matter. Robin Fox, an anthropologist, has always spoken out for a science of society based on evolutionary theory as a way out of the confusion. Here he shares with us, in essays, his explorations of this contentious subject matter. His focal point is the endemic opposition to any approach based on innate human qualities, and hence any definition of cultural universals. This opposition is deeply ingrained and often irrational, so Fox digs into its past to uncover its philosophical and political underpinnings. Book
