Dr. Neil Spector, one of the nation’s top oncologists, led a charmed life. He was educated at prestigious universities, trained at top medical centers, and had married the woman of his dreams.

After years of treating patients, Dr. Michelle Choi had a moment of clarity that rocked her to her core: she wasn’t really helping anyone, and after all these years, she had lost sight of herself.

Cómo ninguna otra personalidad del ámbito científico en la Argentina, el cirujano René Gerónimo Favaloro (1923-2000) logró trascender el prestigio académico para convertirse es un personaje público de altísimo perfil y un referente ético para millones de personas.

As a child, Or Rosenboim’s knowledge of her family history was based on the food her grandmothers cooked for her – round kneidlach balls in hot chicken broth, cinnamon-scented noodle kugel, stuffed vine leaves, herby green rice with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and aubergine in tomato sauce. She knew that her family had a complex past but it was only reading her grandmothers’ recipe books after they both died that she began to explore that past for the first time.

In un contesto in cui per i giovani, le donne, le persone che non nascono con le spalle coperte è sempre più difficile arrivare a posizioni apicali, quale percorso ha permesso a Cristina Scocchia di diventare amministratore delegato a quarant'anni e di ricoprire poi questo ruolo per ben tre volte?

Daniel and Alexander Macmillan arrived in London in the 1830s at a crucial moment of social change. These two idealistic brothers, working-class sons of a Scottish crofter, set up a publishing house that spread radical ideas on equality, science and education across the world.

No longer would books be just for the upper classes. In Literature for the People Sarah Harkness brings to life these two amusing, warm-hearted men.

In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, All the Lonely People is an intimate portrait of loneliness.
