Golden Legacy | Leonard S. Marcus usato Enciclopedie Biblioteche e Archivi

Back in print, the fascinating history of Little Golden Books, in celebration of their 75th anniversary in 2017! With a Foreword by Eric Carle. Eminent children's historian Leonard Marcus' Golden Legacy chronicles the fascinating story of the creation, marketing, and worldwide impact of Little Golden Books, the most popular children's books of all time. Launched during the dark days of WWII, Golden Books such as The Poky Little Puppy were an instant sensation. Hallmarked by their superlative quality yet affordable to nearly all, they changed the cultural landscape and mirrored our changing postwar culture: the powerful influence of television, the post-Sputnik renaissance in American science education, and the birth of the civil rights movement. Lavishly illustrated with the iconic Golden Book covers and colorful artwork  generations of children have pored over, Golden Legacy is a compelling tale of mavericks, innovators, and renowned authors and illustrators. . . a stirring celebration of the humble books in which we scrawled our names, with the cardboard cover and the shiny gold-foil spine.

Italia. L'invenzione della patria | Fabio Finotti usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Italia. L'invenzione della patria | Fabio Finotti usato Storia Storiografia Temi

In un momento storico in cui i flussi migratori invitano a ripensare il ruolo e l'identità dei paesi europei, Fabio Finotti ci conduce attraverso i diversi significati che l'idea di "patria" ha avuto nei secoli, a partire dal laboratorio in cui queste diverse concezioni si sono confrontate: l'Italia. Dall'idea di Virgilio che vedeva la patria come qualcosa da costruire (invece che un dato naturale), all'idea di impero come somma di diversità di Carlo Magno, passando per l'idea romantica di Foscolo e Manzoni e la retorica del fascismo, fino alla nostalgia degli espatriati di Little Italy, questo libro ci ricorda che l'Italia è il frutto di una straordinaria e mutevole "invenzione culturale".

Principles of Lasers | Orazio Svelto usato Scienze Fisica

Principles of Lasers | Orazio Svelto usato Scienze Fisica

R. G. Cooks This introduction has three purposes: (a) to summarize some of the chief features of energy spectrometry of ions and to sketch in a little of the background to this subject, (b) to present some simple facts about collision processes which one skilled in, say, mass spectrometry but innocent of any knowledge of bimolecular collisions might find of value, and (c) to indicate the scope and content of the volume. 1. The Subject This book takes as its subject, ion-molecule and ion-atom reactions occurring at high energies. It emphasizes the study of inelastic reactions at high energy through measurements of translational energy. The investiga tion of these reactions using other procedures has been important in the cases of the simpler systems. In particular, the emitted radiation has been investigated and this subject is therefore discussed where appropriate. For more complex species, however, there is little information available other than from energy spectra. The defining characteristic of the energy range of interest is that momentum transfer to the neutral target is negligible for small scattering angles. The result of this apparently bland condition is a welcome simplicity in the interpretation of the results of what appears to be developing into a R. G. Cooks • Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907. 2 Introduction unique form of spectroscopy. The names ion kinetic-energy spectrometry, translational energy spectrometry, collision spectroscopy, and energy-loss spectrometry have all been used to describe this subject (d. Section 5).

Brains, Machines, and Mathematics | Michael A. Arbib usato Scienze Matematica e Ingegneria

Brains, Machines, and Mathematics | Michael A. Arbib usato Scienze Matematica e Ingegneria

This is a book whose time has come-again. The first edition (published by McGraw-Hill in 1964) was written in 1962, and it celebrated a number of approaches to developing an automata theory that could provide insights into the processing of information in brainlike machines, making it accessible to readers with no more than a college freshman's knowledge of mathematics. The book introduced many readers to aspects of cybernetics-the study of computation and control in animal and machine. But by the mid-1960s, many workers abandoned the integrated study of brains and machines to pursue artificial intelligence (AI) as an end in itself-the programming of computers to exhibit some aspects of human intelligence, but with the emphasis on achieving some benchmark of performance rather than on capturing the mechanisms by which humans were themselves intelligent. Some workers tried to use concepts from AI to model human cognition using computer programs, but were so dominated by the metaphor "the mind is a computer" that many argued that the mind must share with the computers of the 1960s the property of being serial, of executing a series of operations one at a time. As the 1960s became the 1970s, this trend continued. Meanwhile, experi mental neuroscience saw an exploration of new data on the anatomy and physiology of neural circuitry, but little of this research placed these circuits in the context of overall behavior, and little was informed by theoretical con cepts beyond feedback mechanisms and feature detectors.

Dopo il fumo - Sono il n. A 5384 di Auschwitz Birkenau | Liana Millu usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

Dopo il fumo - Sono il n. A 5384 di Auschwitz Birkenau | Liana Millu usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

A collection of writings and talks given by Millu to audiences on different occasions. During the war she was interned in Auschwitz. She relates to the importance of witnessing the Holocaust, to the process of dehumanization in the Lager, and to the effect of the camp experience on the survivor. The discovery of a little piece of pencil just after the liberation, and the writing of her name in a diary, means for Millu the re-appropriation of her humanity and her liberty, while emphasizing the importance of memory and testimony. In the preface (pp. 7-12) and in three essays (pp. 61-66, 85-94) Stefani reflects on the importance of survivor testimony and the meaning of faith for camp prisoners.

Memorie dei Cheyenne | John Stands In Timber, Margot Liberty usato Storia Contemporanea

Memorie dei Cheyenne | John Stands In Timber, Margot Liberty usato Storia Contemporanea

Gli Cheyenne attorno al 1700 si trasferirono nelle pianure alte, vivendo in villaggi di "tepee", cacciando il bisonte ed effettuando razzie e spedizioni di guerra, contro i Crow, i Pawnee, gli Shoshoni, gli Ute. Nel 1851 il trattato di Ford Laramie separò i Cheyenne settentrionali da quelli meridionali, una separazione più geografica che reale, ma che contribuì a disgregare la loro struttura tribale. Nel 1876 si unirono ai Sioux per combattere le truppe di George Custer: furono tra i protagonisti nella battaglia di Little Big Horn. La loro fine arrivò con lo sterminio dei bisonti. Confinati in piccole riserve nel Montana del Sud o nell'Oklahoma, resistettero fino allo stremo all'invasione dei bianchi finché i loro capi furono deportati in Florida.

Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m. - Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman | Sam Wasson usato Spettacolo Cinema

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“So smart and entertaining it should come with its own popcorn” – People“A bonbon of a book… As well tailored as the little black dress the movie made famous.” – Janet Maslin, New York TimesFifth Avenue, 5 A.M. by Sam Wasson is the first ever complete account of the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's. With a cast of characters including Truman Capote, Edith Head, director Blake Edwards, and, of course, Hepburn herself, Wasson immerses us in the America of the late fifties, before Woodstock and birth control, when a not-so-virginal girl by the name of Holly Golightly raised eyebrows across the nation, changing fashion, film, and sex, for good. With delicious prose and considerable wit, Wasson delivers us from the penthouses of the Upper East Side to the pools of Beverly Hills presenting Breakfast at Tiffany's as we have never seen it before—through the eyes of those who made it.

Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses. The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text.

My Bibi Always Remembers | Toni Buzzeo usato Libri per ragazzi Illustrati

My Bibi Always Remembers | Toni Buzzeo usato Libri per ragazzi Illustrati

Little Tembo, a baby elephant, is thirsty and her herd cannot find any water. But Bibi, the matriarch, "remembers the way to wet." As Bibi leads them across the parched savannah, Tembo happily follows, every now and then getting distracted by her own memories of games she loves to play. With touching family moments interspersed between Tembo's playful actions, this tribute to grandmothers will make a perfect read-aloud. Praise for Stay Close to Mama "Readers and their parents will instantly see themselves in this loving but ongoing conflict over the need to explore and the need to protect, and they'll undoubtedly find the two characters adorable and reassuring." -Publisher's Weekly Wohnoutka's large, almost impressionistic paintings grant a rich glimpse of the broad savanna and its denizens. -School Library Journal Praise for Just Like My Papa "The acrylic illustrations are larger than life and show the expanses of the savannah but remain warm and kid-friendly, especially in the lions' depth of expression, ranging from curiosity to impatience, from concern to pride. The pacing is superb, with the right amount of drama for the youngest readers yet awash with reassuring paternal love and care for young Kito." -School Library Journal

The One-Straw Revolution - An Introduction to Natural Farming | Masanobu Fukuoka usato Manualistica Varia

The One-Straw Revolution - An Introduction to Natural Farming | Masanobu Fukuoka usato Manualistica Varia

Call it “Zen and the Art of Farming” or a “Little Green Book,” Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book “is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture.” Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature's own laws. Over the next three decades he perfected his so-called “do-nothing” technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort.Whether you're a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here—you may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.
