Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.

La storia di una ragazza a cui hanno tolto tutto, ma che è stata più forte: da sola ha percorso le strade del mondo senza avere paura, riuscendo a dare tutto il proprio amore a un figlio che ora conosciamo tutti: Leonardo. Caterina è una ragazza selvaggia, nata libera, come il vento, sugli altopiani del Caucaso. Un giorno viene trascinata con violenza nella Storia: catturata da uomini malvagi, inizia un viaggio che dalla foce del Don la condurrà a Costantinopoli, a Venezia e infine nella Firenze rinascimentale. Caterina è ora una schiava, una cosa.

Buckle up for the wildest ride of your life (or at least Frank's)! "The Gray Hair & Daycare Podcast" dives headfirst into the hilarious and heartwarming chaos of late-in-life parenthood. Join Frank Cerio, a 55-year-old Gen X-er who thought his days of all-nighters were over (except maybe to catch that sweet, sweet rerun of "Miami Vice"), as he navigates the uncharted waters of pregnancy and impending fatherhood. Luckily, he's got his lifelong wingman, Carlo Russo, by his side. At 56, Carlo's a seasoned dad with two grown sons, a wealth of (questionable) advice, and a healthy dose of "I told ...

When Geppetto makes a wooden puppet of a little boy, he is astonished when the puppet comes to life! But Pinocchio dreams of being a real boy.... A magical retelling of the classic tale, read by Stephen Mangan.

High above the blood- and mud-soaked trenches, a young girl pits herself against army mages in high stakes aerial duels with bullets, spells, and bayonets. Her name is Tanya Degurechaff and she is the Devil of the Rhine, one of the greatest soldiers the Empire has ever seen!

In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most listeners, this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it appears. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where, at the most fundamental level, time disappears.

Un periodo storico affascinante e complesso, che gli studiosi dividono in alto, alla caduta dell’Impero Romano sino all’anno mille, e basso, che si conclude nel 1492. Parliamo del medioevo, a torto liquidato come l’era dei secoli bui, ma certo un’epoca dove il ricorso alla violenza è pratica quotidiana. In “Nero come il Terrore” vi racconteremo storie incredibili di intricati complotti ed efferati omicidi, sanguinose battaglie e vittime innocenti, a comporre un ritratto più vicino a noi di quanto vorremmo ammettere.

Gepetto, un vieux menuisier n'ayant pour seule compagnie que son chat Clochette, travaille sans relâche à la construction de jouets en bois pour les enfants de son village. Par une nuit de pleine lune, un miracle se produit : la fée Luciole rend visite au vieil homme et donne vie à sa dernière création, un magnifique pantin de bois nommé Pinocchio. Commence alors pour ce dernier la découverte du monde qui l'entoure.

After being reborn and becoming a magic wielding soldier in the Imperial Army, Tanya Degurechaff bemoans her fate of being placed at the very edge of the front lines instead of a comfy place in the rear. Swearing revenge on Being X, she plunges head-first into battle, dragging her subordinate along with her!

From the New York Times best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, The Order of Time, and Helgoland, a closer look at the mind-bending nature of the Universe. What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions. He tells us how our understanding of reality has changed over the centuries and how physicists think about the structure of the Universe today.

Prosegue e termina, con questo quarto volume, il nostro viaggio nella storia dell’omicidio attraverso le età contemporanea, rinascimentale, medioevale e antica. In particolare “Nero come l’Abisso” tratterà del crimine violento durante il periodo delle grandi civiltà: assiri, egizi, greci, romani. Un lungo viaggio dalle origini dell’uomo fino alla caduta dell’Impero Romano, nel 476 dopo Cristo: la chiamano tutti l’età antica, dove affondano le radici della nostra cultura, delle nostre usanze e delle nostre paure più ancestrali.

Che cos’hanno in comune una rivolta di pescatori corsi in un mare colorato di rosso, un volantino piegato in quattro trovato nella tasca di una giacca, un circuito elettrico nascosto da un controsoffitto, una telefonata nel cuore della notte e un testo poetico usato nel posto sbagliato? L’inizio di una storia. O di più storie, individuali e collettive, ma sempre con due protagonisti in comune: l’ex magistrato Gian Carlo Caselli e l’Italia.

When the gentle woodcarver Geppetto builds a marionette, Pinocchio, to be his son, a fairy brings the toy to life. But Pinocchio is not yet a human boy. He must earn the right by proving that he is brave, truthful, and unselfish. But even with the help of Jiminy, a cricket who the fairy assigns to be his conscience, Pinocchio goes astray. He joins a puppet show instead of going to school, he lies instead of telling the truth, and he travels to Pleasure Island instead of going straight home.

When the old woodcarver Geppetto decides to make a puppet boy to dance and turn somersaults, he doesn't know that he has chosen a magical piece of wood. To his amazement, his puppet can talk and play just like the liveliest child. But a human soul must be earned; and thus begin the adventures of Pinocchio.

One of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists, Carlo Rovelli has entranced millions of readers with his singular perspective on the cosmos. In Helgoland, he examines the enduring enigma of quantum theory. The quantum world Rovelli describes is as beautiful as it is unnerving. Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg made the crucial breakthrough for the creation of quantum mechanics, setting off a century of scientific revolution.

This classic, loved by children and adults alike, is the story of the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy and his adventures and trouble-making.

In June 1925, 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, retreated to a small, treeless island in the North Sea called Helgoland. It was there that he came up with one of the most transformative scientific concepts: quantum theory. Almost a century later, quantum physics has given us many startling ideas: ghost waves, distant objects that seem magically connected to each other, cats that are both dead and alive. Today our understanding of the world around us is based on this theory. And yet it is still profoundly mysterious.

Le avventure di Pinocchio, ovvero la storia di un bambino-burattino in un mondo di adulti: dove i fili che lo muovono sono spesso troppo corti per contenere la sua vitalità e il suo ingegno catastrofico. Pinocchio non è cattivo; ha semplicemente una curiosità sfrenata, irriverente, nel suo essere vivo e scalpitante. Capriccioso sì, e anche bugiardo, ma per la paura di esser sbagliato nel mondo in cui "è stato nato". Ma è anche e soprattutto buono, sincero, altruista, premuroso, intrepido e giudizioso.

Pensieri, riflessioni, citazioni, commenti ed aneddoti ispirati alla antica sapienza orientale ed occidentale per affrontare al meglio le sfide quotidiane.
