Landskabet vugger sig omkring den lille i by. Man nrmer sig til den over blgende hje, der slres af olivenskove, som var de indspundne i grgrn silke. Nr vejen lfter sig over en bakke, ligger byen forsnket i en blgedal og vinker med sine trne. Den ligner en murkrone, trykt ned over en af hjene. Vejen snor sig, og staden bliver borte. Rytteren traver blge op og blge ned og stirrer efter staden som efter et smrke.Nrved ser det ud, som havde en hrd hnd fra himlen slet ned i denne skov af murpiller. Som var trnene splintrede og kappede i et uvejr. Som var hattene blst af. Kun et enkelt brer endnu sin taghjelm, der stritter p fire piller; under dens hvlving hnger en klokke. Den holder for tiden sin malmtunge rolig. Rebet falder lodret ned i trnet.

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 1915, San Diego was dying of thirst. Desperate city officials hired Charles Hatfield, a sewing machine salesman who claimed he could summon rain using a secret chemical brew aimed at the sky. They offered him $10,000 if he could fill the Morena Reservoir.Hatfield built his towers, burned his chemicals, and waited. And then, the rain started. And it didnt stop. In January 1916, the skies opened up in a deluge of biblical proportions. Dams burst, houses were swept away, and over 20 people died in the flooding. San Diego went from drought to disaster in weeks. When Hatfield came to collect his check, the city tried to sue him for the damages instead."The Rainmaker" tells the bizarre true story of the boundary between science, fraud, and coincidence. Was Hatfield a meteorological genius, a lucky con artist, or simply a man in the wrong place at the right time? It is a tale of desperate municipal politics, the hubris of trying to control nature, and the wildest contract dispute in American history.

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.

On August 27, 1883, the island of Krakatoa disintegrated in a blast so loud it ruptured eardrums 40 miles away and was heard 3,000 miles across the ocean. It was the loudest sound in recorded history. But the shockwave didnt just travel through the air; it traveled through the newly laid submarine telegraph cables."The Scream of the Earth" argues that Krakatoa was not just a geological disaster, but the first true global media event. For the first time in human history, news traveled faster than the wind. People in London knew about the tidal waves in Java before the smoke had cleared. The eruption turned sunsets red around the globe, inspired Edvard Munchs "The Scream," and sparked a scientific revolution in understanding the jet stream.This narrative history connects the dots between a volcano in the Sunda Strait and the birth of the interconnected world. It explores how a natural catastrophe forced humanity to realize, for the very first time, that we all share the same atmosphere and the same fate. It is a story of terrifying power, early globalization, and the day the world got smaller.
