Imagine Sharon's horror as her backpack, filled to the brim with illegal banknotes, enters the x-ray machine at a Venezuelan airport! What should she do? And that's not the only bizarre dilemma she faces. Where to hide hundreds of banknotes during a hair-raising bicycle ride in Caracas? How should she conform to dictatorship laws in North Korea when continuously bowing to dead leaders housed in glass boxes? Or while watching a live synchronised gymnastic show with Kim Jong Un barely metres from her seat? Not to mention choking on toxic fumes in one of the most hostile places on Earth! Join Sharon as she reflects on the quirky aspects of travelling, whether it's finding herself on a volcano edge in the Danakil Depression, dodging unexpected flatulence hiking up Mount Toubkal or confusing Cubans with her Spanglish. Funny yet informative, this book will grab anyone with a wanderlust spirit (or those not quite brave enough to venture far and wide!). Prepare to be transported into a world of secret destinations and humorous tales.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.
