Paperback. Zustand: Good. BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Malcolm Gladwell, presentador del podcast Historia Revisionista y autor del libro #1 de las superventas de New York Times Outliers, ofrece una examinación potente de nuestras interacciones con extraños--y porqué frecuentemente nos salen mal. ¿Cómo pudo engañar Fidel Castro a los del CIA por una generación? ¿Por qué pensó Neville Chamberlain que podía confiar en Adolfo Hitler? ¿Por qué están incrementado los abusos sexuales en las universidades? ¿Nos enseñan las comedias de la televisión algo equivocado de cómo nos relacionamos? Hablar con extraños es una aventura intelectual clásicamente Gladwelliano, una excursión retadora y controversial a través de la historia, la psicología y los escándalos sacados directamente de las noticias. Reconsidera las decepciones de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath, el escándalo pedofilia de Jerry Sandusky en la Universidad de Penn State y la muerte de Sandra Bland--sometiendo a la duda nuestra comprensión de estas historias y otras. Algo está muy mal, argumenta Gladwell, con las herramientas y estrategias que utilizamos para entender a las personas desconocidas. Y debido a que no sabemos hablar con extraños, estamos invitando el conflicto y malentendido en formas que tienen un efecto profundo en nuestras vidas y nuestro mundo. En su primer libro desde su bestseller #1, David y Goliat, Malcolm Gladwell ha escrito un fascinante guía para los tiempos turbulentos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast "Revisionist History" and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers--and why they often go wrong.    How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. First published in 1860, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom, by William and Ellen Craft, is the fascinating true story of their escape from slavery in Georgia. Ellen was born into slavery in 1826 in Clinton, Georgia. As a result of her mother being a mixed-race slave and her father being a wealthy white plantation master, Ellen closely resembled her white half-siblings. William Craft was also born in Georgia and first met Ellen when he was 16 and he was sold to settle his owner's gambling debt. The pair married a few years later and planned their escape so they could raise a family. In 1848, Ellen posed as a white male planter and William as her personal servant and the pair travelled openly by train and steamboat to Philadelphia. Their bold escape was widely publicized and became a popular story. Sadly, the Crafts came to fear for their safety and freedom when the Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850 and the couple moved to England, where they went on to have five children. Their thrilling tale of bravery and determination continues to be a compelling story of race, class, and gender in nineteenth-century America. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.…
