Baron Cohen

Perché solo gli esseri umani sono capaci di inventare? In questo libro, lo psicologo ed esperto di autismo di fama mondiale Simon Baron-Cohen propone una nuova, audace risposta: perché possiamo identificare i modelli, in particolare i modelli del se e del come. E sostiene che i geni legati a questa capacità unica si sovrappongono ai geni dell’autismo. Dal primo strumento musicale alle rivoluzioni agricole, industriali e digitali, Baron-Cohen mostra come questa capacità unica abbia guidato il progresso umano per 70.000 anni. Collegando uno dei più grandi punti di forza della specie umana a una condizione molto spesso fraintesa, questo libro ci sfida a pensare in modo differente a chi ha un modo differente di pensare.

The guitar has often seemed to take second place to other instruments in jazz, being perhaps more closely associated with other vernacular musics, the blues, pop, later rock. In her new album I Got Strings, award-winning guitarist and composer Eleonora Strino delves back into the great jazz standards, including “I Got Rhythm” and shows that even with just six strings, it’s possible to find rich new variants on the old songs.
