La chiamate creatività? - di Barry Day
Un libro molto interessante sulla pubblicità: descritta, analizzata e commentata da un grande conoscitore della materia: Barry Day. Più che prodotti e servizi, attraverso il messaggio pubblicitario sui giornali e soprattutto in televisione, si vendono stili di vita, metafore dell'esistenza e dell'esistente. Illustratissimo, con esempi da famose campagne (Coca Cola, Kodak, Martini, Chanel, Esso, Bell Telephon, Heineken, Cointreau, Sony, IBM eccetera) vengono riproposte le sceneggiature degli spot relativi con annotazioni pregevoli ed originali. Interessante la sezione rivolta alla "politica delle facce": Kennedy, Nixon, Thatcher, Reagan, Jimmy Carter, il "venditore di noccioline". Che cosa ha portato Reagan per la seconda volta alla Casa Bianca? Barry Day presenta i messaggi dei politici, li smonta, li ricompone, ne precisa i dettagli e le componenti, mostrando e dimostrando come chi sa afferrare gli umori e i pensieri della gente riesce a "fabbricare" un comunicatore credibile. O, per lo meno, vincente. Edizioni Lupetti & C., ; pagine 284, in ottime condizioni. Formato: cm. 16x23. Spese postali e di spedizione comprese.

Plain Truth
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Picoult, Jodi, PUBLISHER: Washington Square Press, "A shocking murder shatters the picturesque calm of Pennsylvania's Amish country -- and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer who steps in to defend the young woman at the center of the storm...." "Plain Truth" The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: circumstantial evidence suggests that eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide -- and, for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain," Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within -- to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life. Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, "Plain Truth" is a fascinating portrait of Amish life -- and a moving exploration of the bonds of love, friendship, and the heart's most complex choices.
The Daily Globe: Environmental Change, the Public and the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Joe / Joe Smith, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, have enormous implications for economic, social and environmental security. Yet the significance of these issues is not reflected in media reporting. A few visually strong stories of conflicts, or threats to charismatic species or beautiful places, such as those of the Brent Spar or the Exxon Valdez, make the headlines. However, the media's appetite for novelty, personality and drama stands in the way of effective reporting of slowly unfolding stories that are fraught with uncertainty. Clearly, journalists and reporters face difficulty in portraying the complex interplay between science, policy and values that underlies many of these issues. But, equally, there is reluctance on the part of the academic and policy communities to adapt themselves to the needs and methods of the media. The Daily Globe represents the state of knowledge about media treatment and public understanding of key environmental issues around the world, incorporating a wealth of expertise and insight from distinguished journalists, politicians, researchers and environmentalists. The book offers practical examples of successful new forms of collaboration and communication and lays the foundation for effective future strategies aimed at informing public debate on the choices and challenges presented by global environmental change.
Boss gx700 guitar effect
Multieffetto rack per chitarra / preamp boss gx700 racchiude in un unico rack tutti gli effetti della serie boss molto caldo e versatile prezzo 200 euro trattabili scheda tecnica boss gx700 guitar effects processor/preamp published in sos june printer-friendly version • noise gate: with user control of threshold setting. • compressor: with variable attack and release characteristics, plus control over sustain and tone. in common with all the other effects blocks, this also has a level parameter. • wah: this classic effect is familiar to guitarists everywhere, and can be recreated quite convincingly with the gx700, either under lfo or pedal control. the resonance of the wah effect can be varied, as can the frequency range over which the effect sweeps. • distortion: i suspect this section is based around the concepts used in the boss analogue pedals. the choices available include vintage od, turbo od, blues, distortion, turbo distortion, metal and fuzz. in addition to an adjustable drive level, the distortion settings also have a basic 2-band bass/treble equaliser. • preamp: this is where cosm modelling comes into play, because here you can select from several amplifier characteristics, including jc120, clean twin, match drive, big lead, ms (i), ms (ii), ms (i+ii), sldn lead and metal . the available controls include the usual bass, middle, treble and presence, as well as the volume/master volume method of setting the amount of amp distortion, and a 'bright' switch. a gain parameter is also included, which affects the distortion amount. • loop: this isn't an effect at all, but rather a means of switching in an external effect or processor. the loop function connects via the rear panel jacks, and has adjustments for both send and return levels, which is a sensible inclusion. • 3-band eq: despite the fact that the overdrive section and the preamplifier both have tone controls, there's also a 3-band equaliser with a fully parametric mid section. • speaker simulator: this again offers several choices: small, middle, jc-120, built-in 1-4, big stack 1-2, ms stack 1-2 and metal stack. there are also three possible virtual mic settings, for close miking and more distant miking, and separate level controls are provided for the mic level and the direct level. • noise suppressor: this comes at the end of the amplifier chain, but before the effects. however, because the effects can be connected in any order, it can be used elsewhere if you have a reason for doing so. personally, i'd be inclined to use it after the modulation effects (for anything that doesn't involve level modulation, such as panning or vibrato), but before any delay or reverb effects. as far as the user parameters go, these are really down to threshold and release time, though you can also choose to key the gate from either the noise reduction block's own input or from the guitar input jack.

Lockdown: Escape from Furnace
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Alexander Gordon, PUBLISHER: Square Fish, Furnace Penitentiary: the world's most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth's surface. Convicted of a murder he didn't commit, sentenced to life without parole, "new fish" Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison. Together with a bunch of inmates--some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers--Alex plans an escape. But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that's hidden from the eyes of the world.
A Constitution for the European Union
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blankart, Charles Beat / Mueller, Dennis C., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The leaders of European Union member states have declared that a European constitution should take "a clear, open, effective, democratically controlled Community approach." Their goal--that within the Union, "European institutions should be brought closer to its citizens"--raises many questions about implementation. What is the most effective procedure for connecting citizens' preferences to political action and policy choices at the EU level? The contributors to this CESifo volume, internationally prominent economists and other scholars, address the major issues that arise in the writing of a constitution. They do so with the underlying assumption that individuals are rational actors and the goal of the state is to advance their collective interests. The ten chapters consider such topics as how a constitution might be designed to prevent military conflict, whether the EU will evolve "by default" into a federal state, the apparent contradiction between the evolutionary development of the EU and the static structure of the constitution, the definition of citizenship and rights, the division and distribution of power, the budgetary deadlock on the provision of public goods and the redistribution of resources, coordinating policy, alternative methods for choosing an EU president, and the role of such direct democracy institutions as referenda and initiatives. The editors conclude by summing up the main arguments advanced to offer a unified approach to these issues.
Slavery's Ghost: The Problem of Freedom in the Age of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Follett, Richard / Foner, Eric / Johnson, Walter, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, President Abraham Lincoln freed millions of slaves in the South in , rescuing them, as history tells us, from a brutal and inhuman existence with the promise of freedom and equal rights. This is a moment to celebrate and honor, to be sure, but what of the darker, more troubling side of this story? "Slavery's Ghost" explores the dire, debilitating, sometimes crushing effects of slavery on race relations in American history. In three conceptually wide-ranging and provocative essays, the authors assess the meaning of freedom for enslaved and free Americans in the decades before and after the Civil War. "Slavery's Ghost" asks important and challenging questions: How did slaves and freedpeople respond to the promise and reality of emancipation? How committed were white southerners to the principle of racial subjugation? And in what ways can we best interpret the actions of enslaved and free Americans during slavery and Reconstruction? Collectively, these essays offer fresh approaches to questions of local political power, the determinants of individual choices, and the discourse that shaped and defined the history of black freedom. Written by three prominent historians of the period, "Slavery's Ghost" forces readers to think critically about the way we study the past, the depth of racial prejudice, and how African Americans won and lost their freedom in nineteenth-century America.

Wings of Judgment: American Bombing in World War II
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schaffer, Ronald, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, World War II--"the good war"--is here viewed from a new angle of vision, one that sheds fresh light on how major decisions were reached. More than just a book on the strategy and outcome of American bombing in World War II, Wings of Judgment tells about choices in war, decisions that determined whether hundreds of thousands of people lived or died and whether famous cities and great monuments of civilization survived or were destroyed. It is about the bombing of Dresden and Berlin and of dozens of cities and towns all over Germany and about the preservation of Rome and Florence. It is about the incineration of Tokyo, the bombing of Hiroshima, and the sparing of one of Japan's most beautiful and holy places, the city of Kyoto. Describing U.S. air raids that terrified inhabitants of enemy nations and citizens of enemy-occupied countries, it raises serious questions about the military and moral effects of American bombing. It also tells of American efforts to avoid killing civilians needlessly. Taking us behind the scenes at military headquarters, Schaffer shows that even the toughest warriors occasionally found themselves offering moral arguments for their actions, arguing that they were made right by enemy atrocities, by the justness of the Allied cause, and by the numbers of lives of American servicemen that Allied bombing might save.

Bounced between foster homes, Shannon endures neglect and abuse before she finally finds stability with Miranda, a single mother with a daughter of her own. But as Shannon grows, so do her questions. Who is her true family? Why would her parents abandon Shannon on the day she was born? The answers lie in the heartrending tale of her mother, a headstrong young woman with a flawed and desperate fate, trapped in a tragic series of events that will destroy her family and test the limits of her compassion and sacrifice. Sparkling with wit and surprisingly tender insights, Marjorie Celona's extraordinary novel offers a deeply affecting look at the choices we make and what it means to be a family.

The Summerhouse
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Deveraux, Jude, PUBLISHER: Pocket Books, "Have you ever wanted to rewrite your past?" Three best friends, all with the same birthday, are about to turn forty. Celebrating at a summerhouse in Maine, Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott are taking stock of their lives and loves, their wishes and choices. But none of them expect the gift that awaits them at the summerhouse: the chance for each of them to turn their "what-might-have-beens" into reality... Leslie, a suburban wife and mother, follows the career of a boy who pursued her in college wonders: what if she had chosen differently? Madison dropped a modeling career to help her high school boyfriend recover from an accident, even though he'd jilted her. But what if she had said "no" when her old boyfriend had called? Ellie became a famous novelist, but a bitter divorce wiped out her earnings -- and shattered her belief in herself. Why had the "justice" system failed her? And could she prevent its happening the second time around? Now, a mysterious "Madame Zoya," offers each of them a chance to relive any three weeks from the past. Will the road not taken prove a better path? Each woman will have to decide for herself as she follows the dream that got away...and each must choose the life that will truly satisfy the heart's deepest longings.

Climate Change Education: Goals, Audiences, and Strategies:
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forrest, Sherrie / Feder, Michael A., PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, The global scientific and policy community now unequivocally accepts that human activities cause global climate change. Although information on climate change is readily available, the nation still seems unprepared or unwilling to respond effectively to climate change, due partly to a general lack of public understanding of climate change issues and opportunities for effective responses. The reality of global climate change lends increasing urgency to the need for effective education on earth system science, as well as on the human and behavioral dimensions of climate change, from broad societal action to smart energy choices at the household level. The public's limited understanding of climate change is partly the result of four critical challenges that have slowed development and delivery of effective climate change education. As one response to these challenges, Congress, in its and appropriation process, requested that the National Science Foundation (NSF) create a program in climate change education to provide funding to external grantees to improve climate change education in the United States. To support and strengthen these education initiatives, the Board on Science Education of the National Research Council (NRC) created the Climate Change Education Roundtable. The Roundtable convened two workshops. Climate Change Education Goals, Audiences, and Strategies is a summary of the discussions and presentations from the first workshop, held October 21 and . This report focuses on two primary topics: public understanding and decision maker support. It should be viewed as an initial step in examining the research on climate change and applying it in specific policy circumstances.
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Diamond, Jared, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, In his million-copy bestseller "Guns, Germs, and Steel," Jared Diamond examined how and why Western civilizations developed the technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of the world. Now in this brilliant companion volume, Diamond probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin, and what can we learn from their fates? As in "Guns, Germs, and Steel," Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe. Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of these societies, but other societies found solutions and persisted. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own societyas apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. Brilliant, illuminating, and immensely absorbing, "Collapse" is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide?

Strategic Choice and International Relations
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lake, David A. / Powell, Robert / Powell, Robert, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, The strategic-choice approach has a long pedigree in international relations. In an area often rent by competing methodologies, editors David A. Lake and Robert Powell take the best of accepted and contested knowledge among many theories. With the contributors to this volume, they offer a unifying perspective, which begins with a simple insight: students of international relations want to explain the choices actors make--whether these actors be states, parties, ethnic groups, companies, leaders, or individuals. This synthesis offers three new benefits: first, the strategic interaction of actors is the unit of analysis, rather than particular states or policies; second, these interactions are now usefully organized into analytic schemes, on which conceptual experiments may be based; and third, a set of methodological "bets" is then made about the most productive ways to analyze the interactions. Together, these elements allow the pragmatic application of theories that may apply to a myriad of particular cases, such as individuals protesting environmental degradation, governments seeking to control nuclear weapons, or the United Nations attempting to mobilize member states for international peacekeeping. Besides the editors, the six contributors to this book, all distinguished scholars of international relations, are Jeffry A. Frieden, James D. Morrow, Ronald Rogowski, Peter Gourevitch, Miles Kahler, and Arthur A. Stein. Their work is an invaluable introduction for scholars and students of international relations, economists, and government decision-makers. Acquista Ora
