![]() ![]() Author: De Vries Maggie, Benoit Renne (ILT) Publisher: Greystone Books For city kids like Sophie and Matthew, growing pumpkins is a big thrill. But they're worried. They know they need bees to make their pumpkins grow, but will the bees find their garden? Are there even bees in the city? So one day, Grandpa and the children set out to look for bees. They arrive downtown just in time to see something amazing: a buzzing ball of bees hovers from the branch of a nearby tree. And high on the terrace of a towering hotel are four brightly coloured beehives! For Matthew and Sophie, this is the beginning of an exciting adventure. All summer they tend their plants, eagerly watching as their seeds sprout and turn into shoots, then vines and leaves. But they're still worried. Will the bees come when they're needed? Finally, the golden pumpkin flowers appear among the leaves. The female flowers will be open for just one day, and Matthew and Sophie arrive at the garden early in the morning to wait and watch. Will the bees arrive in time to pollinate the plants? € 16,80

![]() ![]() Author: Standaert Benoît Publisher: San Paolo Edizioni Il futuro si presenta come una sfida poiché ci pone davanti all'urgenza di ritornare all'essenziale. Che cosa è essenziale e che cosa indispensabile? Che cosa non può essere in alcun modo trascurato? Che cosa merita una priorità assoluta? Come ricominciare? E su quale base, con quale trama, attorno a quale nucleo, secondo quale grammatica fondamentale? Ecco la grande sfida della modernità, fare in modo che l'essenziale emerga dalla 'Legge e dai Profeti', dalla Bibbia e dalla Tradizione, dal Nuovo e dall'Antico. È quindi importante, oggi più che mai, ritornare alle tre colonne del mondo: l'ascolto della Parola di Dio, la preghiera e 'l'arte di amare', ossia la celebrazione dell'alleanza di Dio e l'impegno in favore degli uomini e del mondo. Chi non ha bisogno, oggi, di vedute chiare, semplici, ma solidamente fondate! Sono necessari segnali luminosi sulla strada che si snoda davanti ai nostri passi e che non ha altra meta se non la pace, non solo planetaria ma cosmica. € 18,50

![]() ![]() Author: Benocci Carla Publisher: Ginevra Bentivoglio EditoriA Nel presente volume l'autrice propone un'approfondita ricerca sullo sviluppo di un importante isolato di Roma, posto nell'area tra il Pantheon e Torre Argentina. In coincidenza con aperture e rinnovamenti stradali, esso diviene luogo privilegiato di residenza per casate in ascesa sulla scena politica ed economica cittadina. Già dal Cinquecento, infatti, possedere un immobile affacciato sulle strade che portano a monumenti di grande rilievo, in una zona valorizzata dalla vicinanza con la Via Papale, costituisce una testimonianza indiscutibile di status symbol. L'isolato mantiene la propria importanza anche nell'Ottocento, essendo interessato dal percorso della nuova grande arteria di Roma Capitale: Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. L'apertura di tale strada produce infatti una sensibile trasformazione dei principali palazzi dell'isolato, quali Palazzo Pesci, Palazzo Origo e Palazzo Strozzi, quest'ultimo acquistato infine, nel 1905, da Marco Besso, che porta a compimento il suo desiderio di creare al suo interno una grande biblioteca. La celebrazione dello studio e della cultura, con i libri protagonisti, rappresenta quindi il felice epilogo di una storia secolare. € 20,00

![]() ![]() Author: Carbone Marco Benoît Publisher: Mimesis In un libro che si intitola Tentacle Erotica non ci si aspetterebbe di trovare Montaigne, il mito greco, Victor Hugo, Picasso e Hokusai. Certo, in compagnia di stripper, modelle fetish, octopus porn, BDSM, horror, hentai, cyberpunk, e molto altro. Non si tratta di un accumulo eterogeneo, di una contaminazione provocatoria, o di una legittimazione mitica dell'immaginario pornografico. È un qualcosa di molto più complesso e coerente, pur nel suo andamento a spirale. Marco Benoît Carbone ci offre una lettura ad ampio raggio di una figura dalla retorica visuale (qual è il tentacolo) ricca di risonanze mitiche, culturali e antropologiche, che permette allo stesso tempo di affrontare questioni politiche spinose. Dai crimini misogini ai limiti della censura. Dall'esotismo degli immaginari erotici agli stereotipi tenaci sul Giappone. Dalla funzione sociale al valore estetico della pornografia. Fino al dilemma se considerare i suoi territori estremi come una forma di dominio o una pratica liberatoria, pluralista e dionisiaca.' (Dalla Prefazione di Massimo Fusillo) € 12,00

![]() ![]() Author: Benor Sarah Bunin Publisher: Rutgers Univ Pr When non-Orthodox Jews become frum (religious), they encounter much more than dietary laws and Sabbath prohibitions. They find themselves in the midst of a whole new culture, involving matchmakers, homemade gefilte fish, and Yiddish-influenced grammar. Becoming Frum explains how these newcomers learn Orthodox language and culture through their interactions with community veterans and other newcomers. Some take on as much as they can as quickly as they can, going beyond the norms of those raised in the community. Others maintain aspects of their pre-Orthodox selves, yielding unique combinations, like Matisyahu's reggae music or Hebrew words and sing-song intonation used with American slang, as in “mamish (really) keepin' it real.” Sarah Bunin Benor brings insight into the phenomenon of adopting a new identity based on ethnographic and sociolinguistic research among men and women in an American Orthodox community. Her analysis is applicable to other situations of adult language socialization, such as students learning medical jargon or Canadians moving to Australia. Becoming Frum offers a scholarly and accessible look at the linguistic and cultural process of “becoming.” € 27,60

![]() ![]() Author: Groult Benoite, Gleisner Nichole (TRN) Publisher: Other Pr Llc This witty autobiography captures the rich and varied life of a renowned French author and pioneering feminist, through the obstacles and movements in twentieth-century France. Born in 1920 in Paris, Benoite Groult obtained the right to vote only when she was twenty-five years old. She married four times, bore three children, underwent several illegal abortions, became a writer after she turned forty, and a feminist in her fifties. Groult chronicles her experiences and her intellectual developments through successive phases—as an obedient child, an awkward and bookish adolescent, and a submissive wife—until finally becoming a liberated novelist. Here, she recounts the childhood trips she spent with her family, Paris during the occupation, her marriages, motherhood, and her continuous fight for women’s rights. At ninety-one years old, she concludes that she has been, and still is, a happy woman—lucky to have captured her freedoms, one by one, paying for them, delighting in them, and loving them. Sexy, chatty, and full of shrewd insight, My Escape covers her years of struggle and success—as a daughter, lover, writer, wife, mother, and reluctant socialite—and draws a portrait of the role of French women in the twentieth century. € 16,30

![]() ![]() Author: Mandelbrot Benoit B., Mandelbrot Aliette (CON) Publisher: Random House Inc A fascinating memoir from the man who revitalized visual geometry, and whose ideas about fractals have changed how we look at both the natural world and the financial world. Benoit Mandelbrot, the creator of fractal geometry, has significantly improved our understanding of, among other things, financial variability and biological rhythms. His work reveals hidden order in what was once perceived as rough, unpredictable, or chaotic. In The Fractalist, Mandelbrot recounts the high points of his life with exuberance and an eloquent fluency, deepening our understanding of the evolution of his extraordinary mind. We begin with his early years: born in Warsaw in 1924 to a Lithuanian Jewish family, Mandelbrot was mentored by an eminent mathematician uncle in Paris. As he stayed barely one step ahead of the Nazis until France was liberated, he studied geometry on his own and dreamed of using it to solve fresh, real-world problems. We observe his unusually broad education in Europe, and then at Cal Tech, Princeton, and MIT. We learn about his thirty-five-year affiliation with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and his association with Harvard and Yale. An outsider to mainstream scientific research, he managed to do what others had thought impossible: develop a new geometry that combines revelatory beauty with a radical way of unfolding formerly hidden laws governing utter roughness, turbulence, and chaos. Here is a remarkable life story of both the man and his unparalleled contributions to science, mathematics, and the arts. € 24,90

![]() ![]() Author: Peeters Benoit, Brown Andrew (TRN) Publisher: Polity Pr This biography of Jacques Derrida (1930–2004) tells the story of a Jewish boy from Algiers, excluded from school at the age of twelve, who went on to become the most widely translated French philosopher in the world – a vulnerable, tormented man who, throughout his life, continued to see himself as unwelcome in the French university system. We are plunged into the different worlds in which Derrida lived and worked: pre-independence Algeria, the microcosm of the École Normale Supérieure, the cluster of structuralist thinkers, and the turbulent events of 1968 and after. We meet the remarkable series of leading writers and philosophers with whom Derrida struck up a friendship: Louis Althusser, Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Genet, and Hélène Cixous, among others. We also witness an equally long series of often brutal polemics fought over crucial issues with thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, John R. Searle, and Jürgen Habermas, as well as several controversies that went far beyond academia, the best known of which concerned Heidegger and Paul de Man. We follow a series of courageous political commitments in support of Nelson Mandela, illegal immigrants, and gay marriage. And we watch as a concept – deconstruction – takes wing and exerts an extraordinary influence way beyond the philosophical world, on literary studies, architecture, law, theology, feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial studies. In writing this compelling and authoritative biography, Benoît Peeters talked to over a hundred individuals who knew and worked with Derrida. He is also the first person to make use of the huge personal archive built up by Derrida throughout his life and of his extensive correspondence. Peeters’ book gives us a new and deeper understanding of the man who will perhaps be seen as the major philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century. € 31,20
