"Un Rovelli filosofico e quasi mistico, poca fisica e molta digressione dalle tragedie greche in poi, passando per tutta la filosofia che negli anni si é interessata al concetto di tempo."

Il principe della divulgazione televisiva, l'autore di decine di bestseller che hanno svelato a tre generazioni di italiani la bellezza della scienza, stavolta ha scritto un libro diverso: «Non è un libro di divulgazione scientifica, ma un racconto personale dedicato al pubblico che da tanti anni mi segue nel mio lavoro, spesso con vero affetto ... Il libro racconta le mie esperienze di lavoro, il 'dietro le quinte' di oltre mezzo secolo di televisione ... Ma per la prima volta rispondo anche a certe domande che spesso mi vengono rivolte in occasione di incontri o conferenze, e che riguardano la mia vita, la mia formazione, gli inizi in RAI, il pianoforte, persino la mia infanzia».

"Basic concepts of current physics are described in a manner that is clear and evocative, with very lucid and straightforward prose."
"I read it in a flash and it left me thirsty of reading it again and to know more. Piccolo, grande libro, scritto da chi ha il cervello per capire e l'abilita' di trasferire i concetti a chi non ha una mente astratta."
"Excellent pocket-size booklet-print quite clear and paper quality top-notch-nice to have next to the translation to build Italian science vocabulary."

"The most emotional moment for me came toward the end of the book when Auggie's father tells him that he loves the way Auggie looks, because that it exactly how my husband and I feel about our son."
"Author R.J. Palacio writes the book in multiple voices -- Auggie's, some of his friends', his sister's -- and the different points of view are mostly very well-realized and show the inner feelings of the different characters."
"I would recommend all young children to read this book and I would certainly recommend adults to read it because it will certainly change that "judgement of others" into "an acceptance of others.""
"The author did a really good job of putting the reader inside the heads of the characters in the book, helping us to really get to know them and to see different perspectives of the same situation."
"I'm a Special Needs teacher and I love how this book teaches "typical kids" to accept someone who looks different in their school; it makes the child who's different feel special as well."
"On a recommendation from my daughter (35), I read it after I saw the movie."
"Friends said to read the book before seeing the movie."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It cannot recognize conjugated verbs or even plural words. You have to figure out the root word, type it in manually, and then use the 5-way to move to the right and highlight the "dictionary" button to look things up. It does have trouble with apostrophe-joined words, but that's completely understandable (Baron's can't handle that either). The other Italian dictionary for Kindle (Andrei Pushkin and Dima Suponau) seems to also handle these things to some extent, but I downloaded the sample, and it's not near as comprehensive as the Merriam-Webster's. And as the default dictionary for reading Italian texts, the Merriam-Webster is the hands-down winner. UPDATE: April 12, 2012 - I have spent some time now both with this dictionary and Baron's. It's still very useful, and it still has the key advantage of understanding verb conjugations, plurals, etc."
"This dictionary is invaluable for studying Italian on a Kindle device, but it would have to be closer to unabridged to earn five stars."
"This is a great dictionary, but the latest update to the kindle reader for ipad (downloaded on february 16,2013), changed something so that now searches do NOT turn up most headwords (because of the apostrophes separating the syllables)."
"Good dictionary for use w Kindle Italian books--I am studying Italian."
"I have purchased three Italian-English dictionaries for my Paperwhite Kindle and none of them define words inside the text as I'm reading."
"When it knows the word you're looking for, the translation and usage is helpful."
"Unless you read simple texts written in modern Italian you will be disappointed."

"The book was as always amazing, descriptive and decisive."
"This book is the one that keeps me wanting to start reading the first book all over again."
"Excellent fourth book in the series bellow finally gets what she truly wants in many ways, and more things happen, then could ever be anticipated."
"Great conclusion to a great series."
"Switching between Jacob's point of view and Bella's was an interesting but necessary twist."
"A lot of people have read the first twilight book and hate the series, but if you can make it past the first, the other books in the twilight series are much more interesting."
"I felt like its execution was rather rushed, the author covers a lot of ground in terms of plot events, but doesn't really develop a lot of them, and then seems to throw in sort of random events and details that don't really contribute to the forward motion of the story. While I liked the idea of switching to a different perspective while Bella is home bound and can't do much, I thought the way Jacob's voice was written was rather heavy-handed in terms of using different vernacular to distinguish him from Bella, making him rather crude and unrefined."

Milioni e milioni di persone si sono appassionate a questo felino adorabile, ma totalmente anarchico, disposto a qualsiasi cosa pur di essere nutrito.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Whether through the animated toons or the books, every cat owner will find a behavior that will make you think to yourself "That's my cat! If you just want to giggle at some cute cat drawings, you'd be hard pressed to do better than the little fatty known as "Simon's Cat"."
"What makes this book interesting was that whilst the first two were about the cat exploring the home and then the backyard / beyond the fence, this book has the added layer of being about sibling rivalry and kids being mischievous to each other or their parent. So the new character, which unlike book two's hedgehog and birds, has a much clearer defined role and makes it easier to relate to."
"I was a little afraid Simon's Cat would be lacking because you can't hear his little mews, but it's just as funny if not more!"
"Simon's Cat is so funny and cute, and the author is very clever and talented."
"This collection of charming cartoons will bring a smile to every cat owners face."
"As he does with his famous online videos, Tofield perfectly captures the idiosyncrasies only cat lovers know and appreciate."
"I'm a huge Simon's Cat fan."
"Simon's cats is probably one of those books that is best read as a book (like the Garfield strips) and not on a kindle."
Best Historical Fiction in Italian

I promessi sposi di Alessandro Manzoni è considerato il più importante ed il primo romanzo della letteratura italiana e l’opera letteraria più rappresentativa del Risorgimento italiano e del romanticismo italiano nonché una delle massime opere della letteratura italiana. Il romanzo di Manzoni viene considerato non solo una pietra miliare della letteratura italiana, ma anche un passaggio fondamentale nella nascita stessa della lingua italiana. "I promessi sposi" (The Betrothed) by Alessandro Manzoni is considered the most important and the first novel in Italian literature, the piece of literature more representative of the Italian Risorgimento and the Italian romanticism and one of the greatest works of Italian literature.

"I grew up in Italy so I read this book in middle and high school."
"the author gives us a pleasing account of the 1600's during the spanish domination of northern italy, mainly the surroundings of milan."
"Beautifully written."
"come le pagine si sono combinati non c'e molto spazio fra le parole e la grandezza delle lettere sono piccole."
"Manzoni considered them so important that he would visit the printing shop while the book was in production and would sometimes alter his text to ensure that the illustrations were placed at precisely the right location on the page. In chapter 1, for example, the portrait of a very nervous don Abbondio stroking his chin at the sight of the two bravi waiting to talk to him speaks volumes about the poor man's character. In my original review I gave this item one star, writing that "in my iPad Kindle app, at least, [the illustrations] overwrite the text so that you have 200 holes in the story, one for every picture.""
"I had my Italian teacher look over this book and he said it is a very bad interpretation of the original."
"The "riassunto" for the remainder of the book (more than 600 pages) encompassed a couple of paragraphs... Don't bother, the type style is difficult to read for "older eyes" also."
