Freedom

Autor: Jaycee Dugard

Número de Páginas: 272

In the follow-up to her #1 bestselling memoir, A Stolen Life, Jaycee Dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity: the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting to life on her own. When Jaycee Dugard was eleven years old, she was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was missing for more than eighteen years, held captive by Philip and Nancy Garrido, and gave birth to two daughters during her imprisonment. In A Stolen Life Jaycee told the story of her life from her abduction in 1991 through her reappearance in 2009. Freedom: My Book of Firsts is about everything that happened next. “How do you rebuild a life?” Jaycee asks. In these pages, she describes the life she never thought she would live to see: from her first sight of her mother to her first time meeting her grownup sister, her first trip to the dentist to her daughters’ first day of school, her first taste of champagne to her first hangover, her first time behind the wheel to her first speeding ticket, and her first dance at a friend’s wedding to her first thoughts about the possibility of a future...

A Stolen Life

Autor: David Meyler , Peter Meyler

Número de Páginas: 142

Richard Pierpoint or Captain Dick, as he was commonly known, emerges from the shadows of history in A Stolen Life: Searching for Richard Pierpoint. An African warrior who was captured at about age 16, Pierpoint lived his remaining years in exile. From his birth in Bundu (now part of Senegal) around 1744 until his death in rural Ontario in 1837, Pierpoint’s life allows us to glimpse the activity of an African involved in some of the world’s great events. "We are indebted to the authors for breathing life into this man, who though taken from his home early in his life still was able to make a significant contribution to the early history of Upper Canada. He fought, farmed and became a giant to the Black community. We thank you for a wonderful story of this often forgotten segment of Canadian history." — Wilma Morrison, Norval Johnson Heritage Library, Niagara Falls "Everybody knows about the Underground Railroad and the great many Black souls who emigrated to Canada via this route, but very few people know the brave Black men and women who put their lives on the line in defence of this country." — Ivor Christopher, Re-enactor, Runchey’s Company of Coloured Men "A...

Il cervello trova la strada

Autor: Michael Bond

Número de Páginas: 274

Come si sviluppa il senso dell'orientamento e perché in alcuni è più forte Il mondo fisico è infinitamente complesso, eppur la maggior parte di noi riesce a orientarsi. Camminiamo lungo strade sconosciute, mantenendo il senso della direzione, prendiamo delle scorciatoie su sentieri che non abbiamo mai percorso e ricordiamo per molti anni luoghi che abbiamo visto una volta sola: sono tutti fatti notevoli. In Il cervello trova la strada Michael Bond spiega come è possibile: in che modo il nostro cervello elabora le «mappe cognitive» che ci permettono di orientarci anche in luoghi sconosciuti; in che modo ci poniamo nello spazio e come la nostra visione del mondo esterno influenza la nostra psiche e i nostri comportamenti. La concezione dello spazio fisico è un elemento cruciale nella nostra evoluzione: la capacità di muoversi su lunghe distanze in età preistorica ha dato all’Homo sapiens un vantaggio sul resto degli ominidi. I bambini sono istintivamente degli esploratori e appena incominciano a muoversi acquisiscono una comprensione dello spazio. E ciononostante, oggi pochi di noi fanno buon uso delle facoltà ereditate dai nostri avi peripatetici. E la maggior parte di ...
