“A fascinating biography that re-creates Hollywood’s Golden Age of Glamour” as it recounts the life of the star and inventor (Publishers Weekly). Hedy Lamarr’s exotic beauty was heralded across Europe in the early 1930s. Yet she became infamous for her nude scenes in the scandalous movie Ecstasy. Trapped in a marriage to one of Austria’s munitions barons, a friend of Mussolini’s who hid his Jewish heritage to become an “honorary Aryan” at the onset of World War II, Lamarr fled Europe for Hollywood, where she was transformed into one of cinema’s most glamorous stars, appearing opposite such actors as Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, and James Stewart. As her career faded, she went from one husband to the next, her personal troubles and legal woes casting a shadow over her phenomenal intelligence and former image. Stephen Michael Shearer separates the truth from the rumors regarding the life of Hedy Lamarr, and highlights her astonishing role as inventor of a technology that has become an essential part of everything from military weaponry to today’s cell phones. Praise for Beautiful “In Beautiful, Mr. Shearer writes with humor and has fun with some of the glorious nonsense of Lamarr’s movies.” —Jeanine Basinger, The Wall Street Journal “Much more than a standard Hollywood biography.” —Edge Magazine

From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.

Contemporary life is caught in prisons of identity. Public, academic, and political discourses do not seem to be possible without circling around the topos of identity, thereby creating an illusion of uniqueness, separation, difference, and conflict. By studying the relationship between the Moroccan city of Tangiers and the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, Dieter Haller shows how cross-boundary experiences, practices, and identifications create a sense of neighborhood beyond official discourses. Across the Straits of Gibraltar, local and regional relationships in different fields such as kinship, economy, and culture provide resources for post-Brexit common action and a future beyond the prison of identity.

El hechizo de tantos mundos habla de lo bello, estimulante, potencialmente fertil que es el vivir en un mundo pluralista: muchos pueblos, valores, realidades y perspectivas. Y por supuesto muchas preguntas. La primera parte del libro consiste en seis conversaciones, realizadas en Roma, entre la misma autora Ornella Rota y un General de la Aeronautica Militar Vincenzo Parma, personaje eclectico y culto, curioso de viajes en el sentido más amplio de la palabra. La segunda parte comprende las conversaciones entre un músico y artista visual Angelo Sturiale y el famoso escritor mexicano Felipe Montes. Estas conversaciones, realizadas en Monterrey en español, han sido grabadas, traducidas y arregladas por Ornella Rota. Como conclusión ideal de estas reflexiones, el último capítulo, "Descubrimientos", propone un dialogo entre Vincenzo Parla y Angelo Sturiale. Por lo tanto, este libro constituye el resultado de escritura de un lato al otro del Oceano, reuniendo cuatro personajes en apariencia tantos distintos entre si, pero en realidad acomunados por el auspicio de un mundo en el cual pueden coexistir, respetandose entre si e interagir tantas y distintas culturas, enfoques, estilos de vida "quizás profundamente diversas pero todos en lo absoluto dignos de igual consideración, siempre que sean dispuestos a respetar irrenunciablemente los derechos humanos", comenta Vincenzo Parma. Angelo Sturiale espera en la conquista del pluralismo incluso en las esferas más privadas, por ejemplo en la idea de familia "que sigue siendo la realidad más importante de la vida y que pero cada uno tiene el derecho de vivirla según sus propios modelos, siempre que no haya violencia, por ningún tipo y motivo". A parte con sus palabras, Angelo Sturiale está presente en el libro con sus dibujos: esenciales, enigmaticos, cosmopolitas, inconfundibles.
