(P/B) HOUSING AS COMMONS
Experiences of the struggle for housing, ignited by the lack of social and affordable housing, have led to the establishing of shared and self-managed housing areas. In such a context, it becomes crucially important to re-think the need to define common urban worlds "from below". Here, Penny Travlou and Stavros Stavridis trace contemporary practices of urban commoning through which people re-define housing economies.

(P/B) EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The groundbreaking bestseller that redefines intelligence and success. Does IQ define our destiny?

With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Gol...

On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the Hous...
