Deborah Harkness - Il libro della vita e della morte
Dettagli: Autore: Deborah Harkness Titolo: Il libro della vita e della morte Traduttore: Annalisa Crea Editore: Piemme Data di Pubblicazione: Ottobre ISBN: ISBN-13: Pagine: 754 Reparto: Narrativa Formato: copertina rigida Prezzo di Copertina: euro Stato libro: nuovo Quando Diane Bishop, una giovane storica studiosa di alchimia, scopre nella Bodleyan Library di Oxford un antico manoscritto che vi era rimasto celato per secoli, non si rende conto di aver compiuto un gesto decisivo per la sua vita. Discendente da una stirpe di streghe, Diane aveva sempre cercato di vivere una vita normale, da cui la magia era rigorosamente bandita. Ma ora sente che il potere del manoscritto è più forte di ogni sua decisione e, nonostante tutti i suoi tentativi, non riesce a metterlo da parte. Diane però non è la sola ad avvertirne con prepotenza l'attrazione. Perché le streghe non sono le uniche creature ultraterrene che vivono a fianco degli umani: ci sono anche demoni, fantasiosi e distruttivi, e vampiri, eternamente giovani; e tutti sono interessati alla scoperta di Diane. Uno in particolare si distingue dagli altri, Matthew Clairmont, un vampiro, professore di genetica appassionato di Darwin. Il cui interesse per il manoscritto viene presto superato da quello per la giovane strega. Insieme intraprendono il viaggio per sviscerare i segreti celati nell'antico libro. Ma l'amore che nasce tra loro, un amore proibito da leggi radicate nel tempo, minaccia di alterare il fragile equilibrio esistente tra le creature e gli umani, scatenando un conflitto che può avere conseguenze fatali.

James Rollins: Artico (romanzo techno-thriller)
Vendo un romanzo techno-thriller del scritto da James Rollins, Artico (Ice Hunt). È stato pubblicato in italiano per la prima volta nel . Trama: Artico, come già spiega il titolo, è ambientato al Polo Nord. Durante una missione di esplorazione scientifica, il sottomarino Polar Sentinel individua all'interno di un Iceberg, una base artica abbandonata, la Base Grendel russa, al cui interno di trovano decine di cadaveri ed un sommergibile russo della Seconda guerra mondiale congelato. Inizia così l'esplorazione, che dura quasi due mesi, mentre il governo di Mosca invia il suo più potente sottomarino, il Drakon. Alla base, per diversi motivi, giungono anche Craig, un giornalista, e Matthew, una guardia forestale dell'Alaska, ex Berretto Verde che ha partecipato a diverse missioni in Somalia. Assieme a loro giunge anche il Drakon per recuperare i corpi ritrovati nella base. Ma la verità viene ben presto a galla: i russi giungono alla base con intenzione estremamente bellicose, attaccano il contingente americano uccidendo diversi marinai, più che mai decisi a far sprofondare l'intera struttura in acqua per nascondere la verità su orribili esperimenti che i loro scienziati compivano su civili inuit. Ma oltre ai russi, nella stazione si nascondo enormi creature predatrici, che sono state risvegliate dal loro letargo a causa dell'attività degli americani... a complicare ulteriormente la situazione anche l'arrivo della Delta Force. I protagonisti si trovano così in un conflitto a fuoco incrociato, con un solo obiettivo in testa: fuggire dalla base, prima che diventi la loro tomba.
Unholy Night
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grahame-Smith, Seth, PUBLISHER: Grand Central Publishing, From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism. They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale. In Grahame-Smith's telling, the so-called "Three Wise Men" are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. After a daring escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt. It's the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament; cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist; and finally deliver them to Egypt. It may just be the greatest story never told.
Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You've Been Told
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Conard, Edward, PUBLISHER: Portfolio, In the aftermath of the Financial Crisis, many commonly held beliefs have emerged to explain its cause. Conventional wisdom blames Wall Street and the mortgage industry for using low down payments, teaser rates, and other predatory tactics to seduce unsuspecting home owners into assuming mortgages they couldn't afford. It blames average Americans for borrowing recklessly and spending too much. And it blames the tax policies and deregulatory environment of the Reagan and Bush administrations for encouraging reckless risk-taking by wealthy individuals and financial institutions. But according to "Unintended Consequences," the conventional wisdom masks the real causes of our economic disruption and puts us at risk of facing a slew of unintended--and potentially dangerous--consequences. "Unintended Consequences" is not a book that takes a couple of insights and expands them into 300 pages; rather, it covers the entire scope of the economy. It's a fascinating and contrarian case for how the economy "really" works, what went wrong over the past decade, and what steps we can take to start growing again. Whether you agree with the book's provocative and counterintuitive conclusions or not, "Unintended Consequences" will reward you with a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary economy, one no other book has yet provided.

Brush Your Teeth! and Other Simple Ways to Stay Young and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ostreicher, David, PUBLISHER: Wheatmark, It has probably been some time since your mom last reminded you to brush your teeth or wash your hands. Yet, that advice was priceless then and even more valuable now These days, we are constantly reminded of threats to our health and the well-being of our children. They include preservatives, artificial additives, air and water pollution and drug resistant viruses, just to name a few. Thanks to advances in technology, more information than ever is available to us, but with so many sources offering advice, it often leads to confusing and contradictory suggestions about maintaining optimum health. As a result, it is easy to lose track of what the real perils are. For example: Which is the best way to prevent colds and flu: "Washing your hands or taking vitamin C?" Which is the best way a pregnant woman can avoid having a low birth weight infant: "Eating all natural foods or brushing her teeth?" Which is more likely to kill you: "A diet high in natural fats or a diet high in additives?" The answers to these questions may really surprise you. Thats because the American public has been misdirected. We have substituted myths, snake oil and false advertising for basic good sense and physical hygiene. This book is a refreshing and easy-to-use guide for being naturally healthy and happy again.

The Reference Librarian and Implications of Mediation
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Katz, Linda S., PUBLISHER: Routledge, This informative volume is filled with valuable insights on the reference librarian's role as a connecting link between information seekers and the resources that provide answers to their questions. The Reference Librarian and Implications of Mediation helps librarians become successful mediators by teaching them the best approaches to providing resolutions or guidance to the appropriate resources. Chapters focusing on reference skills, communication abilities, accuracy in responding to specific inquiries, and sensitivity to various groups such as paraprofessionals and nontraditional patrons teach librarians how to become more effective mediators. This provocative book encourages librarians to go beyond merely providing answers or resources to helping clients better understand the physical surroundings, the social or educational context, and the ethical, political and economic climate in which the process takes place. A broad selection of chapters interpret mediation and explore diverse topics including traditional mediation, the impact of information technologies, the need for a human context, and an increasingly diverse group of library patrons requiring mediation services. The Reference Librarian and Implications of Mediation shows librarians how to develop a full understanding of an inquiry, ferret out what a client really needs, and ultimately pursue an appropriate response. Specific chapters cover a wealth of mediation topics including: a call for a return to client-oriented mediation electronic reference services information paraprofessionals the academic librarian's role in the educational process relationship between composition teachers and reference librarians predicting mediation accuracy from user impressions the influence of a shrinking information economy academic librarians and mediation in controversial scholarly communication
Rescue
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shreve, Anita / Holland, Dennis, PUBLISHER: Hachette Audio, A rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, a first rescue that begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma--streetwise and tough-talking, with haunted eyes, fierce desires, and a never-look-back determination. Peter Webster, as straight an arrow as they come, falls for her instantly and entirely. Soon Sheila and Peter are embroiled in an intense love affair, married, and parents to a baby daughter. Like the crash that brought them together, it all happened so fast. Can you ever really save another person? Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off track, and for the first time in their ordered existence together, Webster fears for her future. His work shows him daily every danger the world contains, how wrong everything can go in a second. All the love a father can give a daughter is suddenly not enough. Sheila's sudden return may be a godsend--or it may be exactly the wrong moment for a lifetime of questions and anger and longing to surface anew. What tore a young family apart? Is there even worse damage ahead? The questions lifted up in Anita Shreve's utterly enthralling new novel are deep and lasting, and this is a novel that could only have been written by a master of the human heart. Acquista Ora

The Greatness of America
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mike Tangunu Ndimunkum, Tangunu Ndimunkum, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, If you want to know what it really means to live in a country where equality of condition is so widespread, where the common people actually rule themselves, and where the person living in the White House is a black son of a Kenyan man- read this book. Because we can board an airplane and be everywhere in the world in a few hours, because doctors can put eight babies into a woman's womb or open a man's chest and repair his heart's damaged arteries, because wireless communications have reduced the once wide world into a tiny digital village...it is natural to conclude, and rightly so, that the age of American "superpowership" has superseded the creative thinking skills of all civilizations and ages that came before us. The inherent attitude of every American to better his own condition is so powerful that it is alone, and without any assistance, not only had carried on their society to wealth and prosperity, but had surmounted the complexities of new discoveries and landed man on the moon. Americans are natural risk and responsibility takers: stemming from their willingness to go out with the hope of making or doing something that no one had ever done before. That is what this book is about, exposing the true genius of America so that every nation and people can learn from it and prosper, too. The more you get from The Greatness of America the more you will become great.

Old Risks-New Solutions, or Is It the Other Way Around?
ISBN: , SKU: , PUBLISHER: World Bank Publications, Old Risks New Solutions, Or Is It The Other Way Around is the latest book in a series based on the MIGA Georgetown University Symposium on International Political Risk Management. The Symposium has traditionally brought together almost 200 senior practitioners from the political risk insurance (PRI) industry, including investors, insurers, brokers, lenders, academics and members of the legal community. This volume reflects the key issues which have faced investors and insurers alike including arbitration and a dynamically evolving marketplace. Contributors to this volume reflect on the evolution of the PRI industry during a period of dramatic changes in the marketplace. Not only has the crisis had a tremendous impact on the volume of investment projects, particularly into developing countries, but also on the perception of risk and claims management. The volume begins with a look at the global market place in the aftermath of the financial crisis from an insurer s perspective. It continues with an overview of claims experience and key issues investors should understand when relying on bilateral investment treaties. The volume then examines challenges facing investors and insurers alike when considering sovereign risk within the context of political risk. The volume concludes with an overview of the PRI industry and its evolution over time how did insurers see the global marketplace evolving over time, what are they predicting now, and how much has it really changed? Old Risks New Solutions provides valuable insights for practitioners and investors alike, particularly in today s turbulent and uncertain markets.
Sintetizzatore Teisco 110 f
Vendo mitico sintetizzatore Teisco(kawai)110 f Buone condizioni.Causa inutilizzo euro trattabili. NB manca un cursore(HPF non si utilizza praticamente mai,non è una funzione indispensabile e comunque si può regolare con una semplice penna/biro ed è funzionante-manca solo la parte esterna) Roberto In the beginning of the 80's Kawai began manufacturing synthesizers under the company name of Teisco. Their early designs resulted in synths like the S110F above. The Synthesizer 110F is an upgraded S60-F, with dual analog VCO's and an updated look. It has a small but usable 37 note keyboard. Classic analog sawtooth, square, and triangle waveforms plus noise are on-board and can be mixed with external sounds run through the 110F's filters and envelopes. The oscillators can be de-tuned for duophonic textures or phatter leads and bass sounds. There's plenty of modulation ability and classic analog effects in the 110F to really liven up the sound. There's an LFO which can modulate the VCO and VCF and can trigger the EGs. The VCF resonant low pass filter is great too. There's also a VCA section with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls and finally there's a Hi-Pass filter. There is also a portamento effect, a ring modulator, vibrato and sample-and-hold for those classic analog synth effects and tricks! Lots of pretty blinking lights, a sleek and straight-forward layout and very nice analog bass, lead and synth sounds are all a part of the Synthesizer 110F experience.
Chitarra Elettrica Ibanez RG350 Ex pickup Manne
Vendo la chitarra in oggetto. Condizioni molto molto buone, se non per qualche segno di plettrata sul battipenna(per i delicati, sostituibile con una ventina di euro) ovviamente presente su una chitarra usata. Acquistata nel , vendo per inutilizzo. CARATTERISTICHE Corpo: tiglio Manico: acero 5 pezzi Wizard II(19mm nut) avvitato. Tastiera: palissandro 24 tasti, intarsi a denti di squalo. Ponte: Edge III, tiene molto bene l'accordatura anche dopo stress pesante con la leva Pick-up: Sostituiti con dei Manne humbucker (280mV bridge/260 mV neck, magneti alnico V paraffinati, di stampo comunque PAF moderno). Il single coil centrale è stato rimosso, poiché oltremodo schifoso. Viene comunque fornito con la chitarra(eventualmente posso reinstallarlo su richiesta). L'elettronica quindi prevede 5 posizioni: humbucker ponte, humbucker manico, split ponte, split manico. Il suono split-coil è molto squillante e pulito, non come la maggior parte dei pickup, in cui è semplicemente un suono humbucker depotenziato. PAGATI QUASI 200€ NUOVI. Considerazioni: la chitarra è perfetta per i principianti che si interfacciano per la prima volta al mondo della chitarra elettrica, poiché molto affidabile e economica, e con dei pickup eccellenti. É comunque una buona chitarra anche per chitarristi già rodati e navigati. Il suo unico problema(i pickup originali) é stato infatti brillantemente risolto. Manico sottile e veloce, action regolata bassa(l'ho appena settata). Completa di attrezzi vari e leva. Foto su richiesta (NB: le grafiche sul battipenna sono in nastro isolante, dunque facilmente removibili). Prezzo NON trattabile viste le condizioni e l'upgrade che le ho fatto eseguire. NO SCAMBI NE PERMUTE, se non con Cort MBC-1 (Matthew Bellamy signature).

Classical Music: The 50 Greatest Composers and Their
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goulding, Phil G., PUBLISHER: Fawcett Books, MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata? Maybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find. The result is a complete classical music education in one volume.
