Water Politics

Il primo volume della collana in audiolibro "Filosofia antica" riguarda il primo filosofo della storia della filosofia, Talete. Filosofo misterioso e grandioso, sapiente e scienziato, che per la prima volta ricerca un principio (arkhé) dell’universo che trova nell’acqua. Con lui iniziò lo straordinario racconto della filosofia occidentale, di lui questo audiolibro restituisce la grandezza e il mistero, che è anche il mistero della nostra origine.

Maxine Waters is an icon for a generation of women powerbrokers in politics. She is an "unbought and unbossed" acolyte of all the legendary firebrands, like Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, Tupac, and Malcolm X. The daughter of a single mom from St. Louis, she’s smart, sassy, and an outright firecracker. She is the first woman of color, and the first person of color, to regulate the boyz at the big banks as the powerful chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
