Bringing together leading researchers, this is the first volume to comprehensively examine popularity among children and adolescents: what it is, how it is attained, and its impact on peer interaction and individual development. The book clarifies how popularity is distinct from being socially accepted or well liked and how it is different for girls and boys. Behaviors that characterize popular peers are explored, as are the developmental benefits and risks of popularity and its connections to peer influence processes. Innovative measurement approaches and research designs are clearly described.

Prepare for war! The Hold of Belkzen, an orc-dominated wasteland, is as inhospitable as its bloodthirsty inhabitants. These dangers, along with a history of warfare and ruin, make it a land ripe for adventure, and Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Belkzen, Hold of the Orc Hordes gives Game Masters all they need to explore this savage setting. This gazetteer of the Hold of Belkzen presents information on the region's many dangerous geographical features and orc-run settlements, more than a dozen detailed orc tribes and adventure hooks to incorporate them into a campaign, and new monsters including the dread Juggerloathe, the haunting Burning Child, and orc-bred warbeasts.

Belkzen, Hold of the Orc Hordes

From his early horror movies, including Scanners, Videodrome, Rabid, and The Fly—with their exploding heads, mutating sex organs, rampaging parasites, and scientists turning into insects—to his inventive adaptations of books by William Burroughs (Naked Lunch), Don DeLillo (Cosmopolis), and Bruce Wagner (Maps to the Stars), Canadian director David Cronenberg (b. 1943) has consistently dramatized the struggle between the aspirations of the mind and the messy realities of the flesh. “I think of human beings as a strange mixture of the physical and the non-physical, and both of these things have their say at every moment we’re alive,” says Cronenberg. “My films are some kind of strange metaphysical passion play.” Moving deftly between genre and arthouse filmmaking and between original screenplays and literary adaptations, Cronenberg’s work is thematically consistent and marked by a rigorous intelligence, a keen sense of humor, and a fearless engagement with the nature of human existence. He has been exploring the most primal themes since the beginning of his career and continues to probe them with growing maturity and depth. Cronenberg’s work has drawn the interest of some of the most intelligent contemporary film critics, and the fifteen interviews in this volume feature remarkably in-depth and insightful conversations with such acclaimed writers as Amy Taubin, Gary Indiana, David Breskin, Dennis Lim, Richard Porton, Gavin Smith, and more. The pieces herein reveal Cronenberg to be one of the most articulate and deeply philosophical directors now working, and they comprise an essential companion to an endlessly provocative and thoughtful body of work.

Poche figure nella storia della scienza moderna hanno il carisma di Enrico Fermi. E poche sono state altrettanto determinanti per gli sviluppi successivi della loro disciplina. Tuttavia, molti aspetti della sua biografia sono ancora poco indagati. Il libro di David N. Schwartz colma questo vuoto, anche grazie a fonti inedite ed esclusive, ricostruendo una vita che fu investita in pieno – e in una posizione di primo piano – dalle drammatiche turbolenze della storia del Novecento. La sua biografia si snoda attraverso due guerre mondiali in una parabola che va da Roma agli Stati Uniti passando per Stoccolma: il conferimento del Nobel nel 1938 fornisce a Fermi l’occasione per sfuggire alle leggi razziali, che avrebbero colpito la moglie Laura, ebrea. Tre anni dopo, un team dell’università di Chicago ottiene per la prima volta nella storia una reazione a catena: alla guida dell’esperimento c’è lui, che legherà per sempre il suo nome al famigerato «Progetto Manhattan». Una genialità precocissima, una carriera accademica folgorante, una lista di scoperte che hanno rivoluzionato la fisica moderna corrispondono a una figura privata, di marito e di padre, assai più controversa. Una biografia, la sua, fatta di luci e di ombre, che vanno dall’ambiguo rapporto con il fascismo all’altrettanto discussa adesione al progetto della bomba atomica. Senza cedere alle opposte tentazioni dell’apologia e dell’ipercritica, Schwartz delinea un personaggio enigmatico dai sensazionali meriti scientifici, che più di ogni altro riflette le complessità del suo tempo.
