It lasted less than ten seconds, but it changed gaming forever. Evo 2004. Daigo Umehara vs. Justin Wong. One pixel of health left. A super move unleashed. And then, the impossible happened."The Moment 37" is a deep dive into the most iconic highlight in competitive gaming history: The Daigo Parry. It dissects the mechanics, the psychology, and the sheer audacity required to parry 15 consecutive hits with zero margin for error in front of a screaming crowd.But this book is more than just one clip. It is the story of the grassroots fighting game community (FGC), the rivalry between Japan and the USA, and the moment video games transitioned from a pastime to a spectator sport. It captures the electricity of the arcade era and the spirit of competition that drives players to mastery.

"Im not influenced by commercials. I see right through them. But my neighbors? They believe everything they hear." If you have ever thought this, you have fallen for the Third-Person Effect.This psychological phenomenon explains a massive paradox in our society: We believe mass media has a terrifying power over "the masses," while simultaneously believing we are immune to it. This illusion drives censorship (we must ban this to protect them), fuels polarization (how can they be so brainwashed?), and makes us vulnerable to manipulation because we lower our own guards."The Third-Person Illusion" dissects how this bias shapes internet regulation, political discourse, and marketing. It challenges the reader to accept an uncomfortable truth: You are the masses. You are the target. And the advertising you think is "too stupid to work" is working on you precisely because you think you are too smart for it.

They flew planes made of canvas and wood. They had no parachutes, no radios, and no radar. Their top speed was slower than a WWI fighter. And yet, the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment became the terror of the German eastern front.The Nazis called them "Nachthexen" (Night Witches) because the whooshing noise their planes made when they cut their engines to glide silently over targets sounded like a witchs broomstick. This book tells the incredible true story of young Soviet women, many barely out of their teens, who dropped 23,000 tons of bombs on the invading army.Facing skepticism from their own male comrades and deadly flak from the Germans, they flew up to 18 missions a night, freezing in open cockpits. "The Night Witches" is a story of grit, ingenuity, and the sheer terror of silent warfare in the dark. It explores how these women turned their obsolete equipment into a stealth advantage and carved their names into aviation history.

Most students study by re-reading their notes. Science shows this is the least effective way to learn. The "Generation Effect" states that information is better remembered if it is generated from ones own mind rather than simply read. In other words: You have to create the answer, not just look at it.This guide flips the classroom model. It encourages "active recall" and the creation of new materialwriting summaries, teaching empty chairs, or drawing diagrams from memory. It explains why the struggle to retrieve an answer is the actual moment learning happens, and why easy reading leads to fast forgetting. Stop consuming information and start generating it.

In una notte sospesa tra rimpianto e lucidita, Marcello ripercorre la breve e bruciante storia con Lucy la ragazza che per lui era diventata Minnie, promessa di tenerezza e di salvezza. Tra telefonate, viaggi in treno, baci rubati e silenzi sempre piu pesanti, prende forma il ritratto struggente di un sentimento forse mai condiviso fino in fondo.Minnie e morta e il racconto crudo e autentico di unillusione amorosa che si sgretola, di due solitudini che si sfiorano senza riuscire davvero a incontrarsi. Con uno stile diretto, intimo e profondamente umano, Valerio Biasion ci accompagna dentro la mente di un giovane che scopre troppo tardi quanto possa essere sottile il confine tra cio che viviamo e cio che immaginiamo. Un romanzo sulla fragilita dei sentimenti, sulle paure che ci tengono lontani e su quella dolorosa verita che prima o poi tutti incontriamo: non sempre lamore basta.Valerio Biasion e nato a Conegliano (Treviso) nel 1976. Nel 1998 si e trasferito a Londra, dove ha vissuto e lavorato per diversi anni, maturando una sensibilita cosmopolita che traspare anche nella sua scrittura. Nel 2004 ha pubblicato il romanzo A pranzo con Betty presso la casa editrice Nuovi Autori di Milano, opera che segna il suo debutto letterario e introduce i temi a lui piu cari: il viaggio, la memoria, lamore.Autore dalla prosa intima e introspettiva, Biasion racconta con delicatezza il tempo della crescita e delle scelte, intrecciando ricordi, sentimenti e luoghi reali.Con Cosa prendi in giro conferma la sua vocazione narrativa, fondendo realismo e poesia in una storia ambientata negli anni 90, dove lamore diventa scoperta, perdita e destino.
