Best Sciences & Technology in Italian

Come le "Sette brevi lezioni di fisica", che ha raggiunto un pubblico immenso in ogni parte del mondo, questo libro tratta di qualcosa della fisica che parla a chiunque e lo coinvolge, semplicemente perché è un mistero di cui ciascuno ha esperienza in ogni istante: il tempo.

"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».

Queste ‘lezioni’ delineano una rapida panoramica della rivoluzione avvenuta nella fisica del XX secolo e della ricerca in corso, discorrendo, con ammirevole trasparenza, della teoria della relatività generale di Einstein, della meccanica quantistica, dell’architettura del cosmo, delle particelle elementari, della gravità quantistica, della probabilità e del calore dei buchi neri, della natura del tempo e di altro ancora.

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."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I'm a 54 year old grandfather who served in the Marine Corps (just for a little context). Palacio...I can't believe how she so accurately and consistently pegs human nature."
"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."

"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."

Un grande thriller. Tra John Le Carré e John Grisham. Un romanzo di spionaggio irresistibile Il giornalista Philip Mangan è costretto a nascondersi da quando gli agenti cinesi hanno scoperto che è una spia del governo britannico. -- Kirkus (starred review) on Spy Games ''Brookes shows that his impressive debut was no fluke, and readers will look forward to Mangan's next adventure.''.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It'll help if you first read Brookes' previous novel, but it's not entirely necessary."
"Asia can be suffocating in both temperature and expectations and Brookes intimate knowledge of and descriptions of the atmosphere and physicalness of the place are masterful. He has a section where Mangan is secreted under the deck in a boat going down the Mekong that gave me the creeps."
"Adam Brookes is to China spy novels what Robert Ludlum or Martin Cruz Smith was to the Soviet Union-set thrillers of old."
"Having read all 3 of Adam Brookes "Philip Mangan " series I look forwars to what ever he writes, his knowledege of Madarin helps these books feeling of authenticity."
"The details in this book make it obvious Brookes has been to all the featured locations and that he knows the culture and insider info of journalism, politics, and tech."
"Somewhat different t a me on spooks. But an unwilling and unwitting character fumbles along successfully. Good read again by Brookes."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and there were several levels going on."
"It's fairly fast moving with a couple subplots - all of which tie together in the end."

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."
