Nel 1944, alla vigilia di uno degli scontri navali decisivi per la risoluzione del secondo conflitto mondiale, Philip Bowman è un sottotenente della Marina militare americana di stanza nel Pacifico. È l'esordio avventuroso di una vicenda umana che si dipana per quarant'anni, in una sorprendente ricchezza di scenari, incontri ed esperienze. Dal Giappone a New York, dove Bowman diventa editor in una piccola casa editrice; alla Virginia delle grandi proprietà terriere e delle vecchie tradizioni; a Londra, cuore pulsante di una \"geografia editoriale\" fatta di contatti e affinità personali; alla Spagna, teatro di una esaltante passione amorosa. A scandire il racconto, una galleria di ritratti femminili cui corrispondono altrettanti modi di intendere e vivere l'amore in tutte le sue sfaccettature e le sue insidie. Perché questa è, più di ogni altra cosa, la cronaca di una lunga e intensa vicenda sentimentale nella quale si affacciano molte donne e molti amori. Sullo sfondo il tributo ai libri, non privo di ironia, ai loro autori dagli alterni talenti e fortune, alle consuetudini di un mondo editoriale d'altri tempi. Volti, indumenti, scorci di paesaggio rubati dal finestrino di un'auto, di un aereo o di un treno, incroci di sguardi, aspettative, tradimenti, fantasie: quel che conta nella vita, quel che resta o vorremmo restasse quando ci guardiamo indietro, e che solo la scrittura, forse, può salvare, fissandolo nel flusso impercettibile e implacabile dei giorni.

Arranged in chronological order from the early Greek mathematicians, Euclid and Archimedes through to present-day Nobel Prize winners, 100 Science Discoveries That Changed the World charts the great breakthroughs in scientific understanding.\n\n\n Each entry describes the story of the research, the significance of the science and its impact on the scientific world. There is also a resume of each scientist's career along with their other achievements, sometimes - in the case of Isaac Newton - in a completely unrelated field (laws of motion and the component parts of light).\n\n\n The book covers all branches of science: geometry, number theory, cosmology, the laws of motion, particle physics, electricity, magnetism, the laws of gasses, optical theory, cell biology, conservation of energy, natural selection, radiation, quantum theory, special relativity, superconductivity, thermodynamics, genomes, plate tectonics, and the uncertainty principal.\n\n\n Scientists include: Albert Einstein, Alessandro Volta, Alexander Fleming, Amedeo Avogrado, Andre Geim, Antoine Lavoisier, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Archimedes, Benoit Mandelbrot, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Charles Darwin, Christian Doppler, Copernicus, Crick and Watson, Dmitri Mendeleev, Edwin Hubble, Enrico Fermi, Ernest Rutherford, Erwin Schrodinger, Euclid, Fermat, Frederick Sanger, Galileo Galilei, Georg Ohm, Georges Lemaitre, Heike Kamerlingh, Isaac Newton, Jacques Charles, James Clerk Maxwell, James Prescott Joule, Jean Buridan, Johanes Kepler, John Ambrose Fleming, John Dalton, John O'Keefe, Joseph Black, Josiah Gibbs, Lord Kelvin, Lord Rayleigh, Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie, Martinus Beijerinck, Michael Faraday, Murray Gell-Mann & George Zweig, Neils Bohr, Nicholas Steno, Peter Higgs, Pierre Curie, Ptolemy, Robert Boyle, Robert Brown, Robert Hooke, Roger Bacon, Rudolf Clausius, Seleucus, Shen Kuo, Stanley Miller, Tyco Brahe, Werner Heisenberg, William Gilbert, William Harvey, William Herschel, William Rontgen, Wolfgang Pauli.

Remarkable Treks is a compendium of exhilarating walks from around the planet - some lasting weeks, some lasting just a few days, but all of them set against spectacular backdrops.\n\n\n Following the same format as the award winning Remarkable Road Trips and Remarkable Bike Rides, Colin Salter has assembled 52 of the world's top-rated trails.\n\n\n The treks range in length from one-day hikes, to three-day hikes, to walks of almost expeditionary length. Thankfully, some of the longer routes, such as the Pacific Coast Trail in North America, which traverses the Rockies from Mexico to Canada, can be split up into sections.\n\n\n However for completists there are smaller challengers, such as the Pennine Way in England, which is never too far away from civilization, and by civilization we mean the pub.\n\n\n For the thrill-seeking backpackers there are the craggy peaks of Corsica (GR20 - which carries the ominous warning 'some scrambling required'), or the hike up to Everest Base Camp.\n\n\n And for history buffs there is the Inca Trail in Peru or the 5-day hike to the Lost City of Teyuna in Colombia. Treks include: Samaria Gorge - Crete, Lycian Way - Turkey, Camino De Santiago - Spain, Routeburn Track - New Zealand, Laugavegur - Iceland, Torres Del Paine - Chile, Overland Track - Australia, Kungsleden - Sweden, West Highland Way - Scotland, John Muir Trail - USA, Alta Via 1 - Italy, Haute Route Pyrennes- Spain/France, Drakensberg Grand Traverse - South Africa, Western Way - Ireland, Via Dinerica - Albania/Bosnia/Croatia/Kosovo, GR221 Dry Stone Route - Majorca, Chilkoot Trail - USA/Canada, Toukbal Circuit - Morocco, Tour of the Matterhorn - Switzerland, Wadi Rum and Petra - Jordan.

Un lavoro di traduzione, scelta e interpretazione e una sperimentazione nel canto liturgico durati anni hanno condotto a una nuova traduzione dei Salmi e di ottanta Cantici biblici (50 dell'AT e 40 del NT) in uso presso il Monastero di Bose. Il ricco antifonario prevede una scelta di versetti biblici da usare come antifone e come approfondimento del significato cristologico del testo: si tratta dei passi più significativi delle varie versioni antiche del Salterio - quella greca dei LXX, la Syriaca, il Targum, la Vulgata - e delle citazioni, allusioni e riferimenti contenuti nel Nuovo Testamento. Un apparato unico sia per il canto corale che per la lectio divina del Salterio.

Un pomeriggio al mare su una spiaggia di Barcellona, la vacanza in Italia di due giovani avvocati di belle speranze, una donna che attende la fine sul ciglio di una strada di campagna, meteore e vecchie glorie su un set cinematografico, uno scrittore e i suoi fantasmi... Undici racconti, quasi tutti al tempo stesso storie d'amore e squarci vividissimi e dolenti sulla vita, sulle persone che ci circondano con i loro insospettabili segreti, sugli abissi che si spalancano sotto la superficie levigata delle cose, tra veli di borotalco e forcine per capelli. Microcosmi evocati con sorprendente efficacia, grazie alla capacità di isolare con precisione chirurgica dettagli rivelatori, che prefigurano e sintetizzano destini, e di accostarli in un montaggio fulmineo e spiazzante. La sfida è fermare il tempo, sottrarre personaggi, atmosfere, luci e colori all'oblio, contrapporre al presagio della fine insito in ogni passione, legame, ambizione, qualcosa che duri. Un compito arduo eppure decisivo, quello che James Salter assegna alla scrittura, assolto in questi racconti con un talento cristallino, che incanta e commuove, e una fiducia incrollabile nel potere della parola.

Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved from John Bowlby's critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter Ainsworth's naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment theory. \n\nPatterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results of Ainsworth's landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the nature of the child's tie to its primary caregiver and the importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior.\n\nToday, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of Attachment's continuing significance and insures its availability to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.

A Division of Brothers. Sins of the Tribe, by first-time author Mark Salter, explores the impact of intense tribalism and its resulting dehumanization through a popular and wildly flawed source: college football. Wally Hestia is on top of the world when he becomes a member of the Bastille University Tribe football team, a powerhouse with a pristine reputation and a nationwide following. But he's only on the team as the holder for his mentally deficient brother, Henry, a kicking prodigy and the person who gives Wally purpose. But once on the team, Wally sees morality trampled underfoot for the larger cause of tribal dominance. When Wally finds himself in opposition to Bastille to the point where he and Henry are in danger, he must choose between the adulation of the larger tribe or embrace the idyllic virtues Bastille had draped itself in, even if it means losing everything.\n\nSins of the Tribe explores the dark side of tribalism and themes such as greed, jealousy, and the complexities of brotherhood and will appeal to football fans as well as readers of fiction in general.

A look at 100 inspiring novels that have left a significant mark on the world of literature and popular culture.\n \n\n\n Before the novel, the world of books was dominated by scientific tomes, religious tracts and histories of the victorious in war. There had been stories and epic poems from ancient times – Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey recounted ancient Greece, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was a chivalric romance in Middle English, but it was not until the seventeenth century, when the European middle classes had money and leisure, that anything so frivolous as a novel could be sold for entertainment.\n\n\n Colin Salter traces the evolution of the novel from the earliest examples through to the postmodernist best-sellers of the 21st century. Rather than dwelling too long on the technical nuances of innovative writing style he has amassed 100 of the greatest novel writers and chosen their most significant work.\n\n\n For writers such as Herman Melville, James Joyce or Harper Lee the decision is not a difficult one. For Charles Dickens, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood, the choice is perhaps more difficult.\n\n\n Following the style set with previous books in the 100 series, most notably 100 Children’s Books and 100 Science Discoveries, each author is given a concise biography and their major novel analysed and then set in context with their other published work.\n\n\n Readers can become ridiculously well-read in 224 pages.\n\n\n Authors included: Alexandre Dumas, Daniel Defoe, Victor Hugo, Mary Shelly, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hilary Mantel, Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter Scott, Lewis Carroll, JRR Tolkien, Gustave Flaubert, Marcel Proust, Henry James, Harper Lee, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Margaret Atwood, Alice Walker, Jules Verne, HG Wells, Virginia Woolf, Leo Tolstoy, Louisa M. Alcott, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, John Steinbeck, CS Lewis, Chinua Achebe, Jack Kerouac, John Le Carre, Arundhati Roy, Mila Kundera, Joseph Heller, JD Salinger, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Miguel Cervantes, Graham Greene, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George Orwell, John Steinbeck, Evelyn Waugh, Robert Graves, Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, PG Wodehouse, Raymond Chandler, Hunter S. Thompson, Khaled Hosseini.

How is social media changing contemporary understandings of crime and injustice, and what contribution can it make to justice-seeking? Abuse on social media often involves betrayals of trust and invasions of privacy that range from the public circulation of intimate photographs to mass campaigns of public abuse and harassment using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, 8chan and Reddit – forms of abuse that disproportionately target women and children.\n\nCrime, Justice and Social Media argues that online abuse is not discontinuous with established patterns of inequality but rather intersects with and amplifies them. Embedded within social media platforms are inducements to abuse and harass other users who are rarely provided with the tools to protect themselves or interrupt the abuse of others. There is a relationship between the values that shape the technological design and administration of social media, and those that inform the use of abuse and harassment to exclude and marginalise diverse participants in public life. \n\nDrawing on original qualitative research, this book is essential reading for students and scholars in the fields of cyber-crime, media and crime, cultural criminology, and gender and crime.

100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.\n\n\n Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.\n\n\n With the adoption of written languages, symbols have come to represent an illustrated shorthand. The dollar sign in America evolved from colonists' trade with the Spanish, and the widespread acceptance of Spanish currency in deals. Merchants' clerks would shorten the repeated entry of \"pesos\" in their accounts ledgers, which needed to be written with a 'p' and an 's'. A single letter 's' with the vertical stroke of the 'p' was much quicker. Historically correct dollar signs have a single stroke through the 'S'.\n\n\n Symbols are also used to impart quick, recognizable safety advice. The radio activity symbol was designed in Berkley in 1946 to warn of the dangers of radioactive substances - and following the widespread use of gas masks in WWII, the trefoil symbol echoed the shape of the mask.\n\n\n There are many symbols of affiliation, not only to religious groups, but support of political causes or even brand loyalty. Symbols are used for identification, military markings and recognition of compatibility. They allow users to convey a large amount of information in a short space, such as the iconography of maps or an electrical circuit diagram. Symbols are an essential part of the architecture of mathematics.\n\n\n And in the case of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - the first Games to be held in an Asian country - symbols allowed the organizers to create event signage that wouldn't be lost in translation. The set of Olympic sports pictograms for the Games was a novel solution, and one that was added to in Mexico and Munich.\n\n\n Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.

In una grande casa vittoriana sulle rive dell'Hudson, tra possenti scenari naturali e le lusinghe di New York, Viri e Nedra conducono un'esistenza che sfiora la perfezione: due figlie da iniziare ai piaceri della vita, una cerchia di amici interessanti, cene raffinate, bei libri, buona musica, un cucciolo festoso, il fuoco nel camino, giornate passate a pattinare sul fiume gelato o a prendere il sole. Tutto, all'interno di quel microcosmo, è studiato nei minimi particolari, accogliente, rassicurante, eppure più fragile di quanto appaia, inadeguato a reggere l'urto degli anni, della noia, delle ambizioni frustrate. Nedra preferisce viversi come una donna \"vera, felice e generosa\" piuttosto che amareggiata ma fedele, Viri è un buon padre che non sa rassegnarsi a essere solo un uomo virtuoso e non possiede la spietatezza per perseguire il successo. Sulla superficie di un matrimonio felice si aprono crepe sottili: un'altra vita, segreta, preme per venire allo scoperto, e per ciascuno la posta in gioco è la conquista di sé.

Remarkable Bicycle Rides includes a wide variety of cycling challenges from the exhilaration of high alpine trails to more gentler touring routes, such as Hadrian’s Cycleway, which crosses from Britain’s Solway Firth to the North Sea following the line of Roman monument Hadrian’s Wall.\n\n\n There are the classic mountain climbs beloved of followers of the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia, such as the climb to Mont Ventoux in France and the Stelvio Pass in Italy. Still in Italy, there is the mass participation of L’Eorica, a bike tour in traditional costume on vintage bikes.\n\n\n For those wishing to push themselves to the very edge (literally) there is the Yungas Road in Bolivia whose alternative name is El Camino de la Muerte (Death Road). Long-distance trails, such as the Great Divide (Canada/USA) and the Great North Trail (England/Scotland) can form an epic trip of a lifetime, or be tackled in smaller sections. On more robust wheels there is the A-Line single track in Whistler, Canada, and The Whole Enchilada in Moab, Utah.\n\n\n If you like your cycling on a flatter incline, many routes follow old railway beds, such as the Hiawatha and the Katy Trails in the USA, P'tit Train Du Nord (Canada) or the Parenzana which crosses from Italy to Slovenia to Croatia, plus many of the European routes follow great rivers.\n\n\n Also included in over 50 routes; Danube Cycle Path, Ring of Kerry, Iron Curtain Trail, Vasco-Navarro Greenway, Flanders Beer Route, Carretera Austral (Chile), the San Juan Islands, Norway Postal Boat, the Loire Valley, Passau to Vienna, Munda Biddi Trail, Shimanami Kaido (Japan), Route des Grands Crus (Burgundy), Nantes to Orleans, Paris to Mont St.Michel, Great North Trail, Alpine Panorama, Salzach Valley, Otago Peninsular, Route 10 Holland, Garden Route (South Africa), and the Hebridean Way.

Il capitano Cleve Connell, pilota di caccia distintosi nella Seconda guerra mondiale, viene mandato in Corea a contrastare i MiG russi al confine con la Cina. Come tutti i colleghi di stanza nella base di Kimpo, Cleve ha a disposizione cento missioni per realizzare il sogno di abbattere cinque aerei nemici e diventare un asso, un eroe, con cinque stelle rosse sul fianco della carlinga. Il rischio è altissimo: il prezzo della gloria, non di rado, è la morte, che può sopraggiungere repentina, a migliaia di piedi d'altezza, cogliendo il pilota a tradimento nella solitudine quasi sovrumana della propria cabina. Nonostante la bravura e la profonda motivazione, però, le cose non vanno come Cleve aveva sperato: la fortuna premia anzi il pilota più spregiudicato e arrogante, che abbatte inesorabile un MiG dopo l'altro, mentre Cleve sembra trovarsi costantemente nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato, ed è sempre più disilluso e inquieto. Neanche l'amore, che fa la sua fugace, delicatissima comparsa durante una licenza, potrà sottrarlo alla sua sorte, beffarda eppure non meno eroica di quanto aveva sognato.

There continues to be a remarkable revival in academic interest in Carl Schmitt's thought within politics and social theory but this is the first book to address his thought from an explicitly legal theoretical perspective. Transcending the prevailing one-sided and purely historical focus on Schmitt’s significance for debates that took place in the Weimar Republic 1919-1933, this book addresses the actual and potential significance of Schmitt's thought for controversies within contemporary Anglo-American legal theory that have emerged during the past three decades. These include: the critique of liberal forms of legal positivism; the relative ‘indeterminacy’ of legal doctrine and the need for an explicitly interpretative approach to its range of meanings, their scope and policy rationale; the centrality of discretion and judicial law-making within the legal process; the important role played by ideological prejudices and assumptions in legal reasoning; the reinterpretation of law as a form of strategically disguised politics; the legal theoretical critique of universalistic approaches to \"human\" rights and associated liberal-cosmopolitan 'ideologies of humanity,' including the rhetoric of 'humanitarian intervention'; and the limitations of liberal constitutionalism and liberalism more generally as an approach to law. \n\nIn Carl Schmitt: Law as Politics, Ideology and Strategic Myth, the author provides an overview and assessment of Schmitt's thought, as well as a consideration of its relevance for contemporary legal thought and debates.

Nel 1944, alla vigilia di uno degli scontri navali decisivi per la risoluzione del secondo conflitto mondiale, Philip Bowman è un sottotenente della Marina militare americana di stanza nel Pacifico. È l'esordio avventuroso di una vicenda umana che si dipana per quarant'anni, in una sorprendente ricchezza di scenari, incontri ed esperienze. Dal Giappone a New York, dove Bowman diventa editor in una piccola casa editrice; alla Virginia delle grandi proprietà terriere e delle vecchie tradizioni; a Londra, cuore pulsante di una \"geografia editoriale\" fatta di contatti e affinità personali; alla Spagna, teatro di una esaltante passione amorosa. A scandire il racconto, una galleria di ritratti femminili cui corrispondono altrettanti modi di intendere e vivere l'amore in tutte le sue sfaccettature e le sue insidie. Perché questa è, più di ogni altra cosa, la cronaca di una lunga e intensa vicenda sentimentale nella quale si affacciano molte donne e molti amori. Sullo sfondo il tributo ai libri, non privo di ironia, ai loro autori dagli alterni talenti e fortune, alle consuetudini di un mondo editoriale d'altri tempi. Volti, indumenti, scorci di paesaggio rubati dal finestrino di un'auto, di un aereo o di un treno, incroci di sguardi, aspettative, tradimenti, fantasie: quel che conta nella vita, quel che resta o vorremmo restasse quando ci guardiamo indietro, e che solo la scrittura, forse, può salvare, fissandolo nel flusso impercettibile e implacabile dei giorni.
