S.O.S. Tata
Il vostro bambino si rifiuta di mangiare: urla, serra le labbra e allontana il piatto.La sera, quando siete distrutti dal lavoro e sognate il sonno profondo, lui si catapulta puntualmente nel lettone e neanche un carro attrezzi riesce a smuoverlo. Non vuole andare all'asilo, si rifiuta di usare il vasino, piangee non si capisce perché. "Questo è mio!", urla un fratellino. "No, lascialo, è mio!"risponde l'altro... Quante volte vi è capitato di assistere a scene come queste? E poi, quale gioco proporgli? Come "intrattenerlo" senza ricorrere a "mamma televisione"? Come fargli rispettare le regole? Quante attenzioni dedicargli senza viziarlo? A questi e molti altri interrogativi rispondono l...
Ero una brava mamma prima di avere figli
A ripensarci vi viene da sorridere. La vostra vita è cambiata. Prima di avere un figlio vi spalmavate il pancione di olio di mandorle, giravate per vetrine osservando graziosi completini da neonato, tagliavate la verdura cruda a julienne per far piacere al vostro compagno. Ora di Julien nella vostra vita ce n'è uno solo, ed è il re dei lemuri nel cartone animato Madagascar. Adesso, per far piacere al vostro compagno, nei giorni buoni buttate sul fuoco 4 salti in padella, altrimenti gli urlate di arrangiarsi con una scatoletta di tonno. Per risparmiare tempo non tagliate più le unghie, le mangiate. Le giornate di shopping sono un lontano ricordo. Fare un figlio è come lanciare nel mondo un amo a forma di punto interrogativo. Bisogna essere preparati, raccomanda qualcuno. Per fortuna e purtroppo, per quanto impegno ci si metta, non lo si è mai abbastanza: né a metterlo al mondo, né ad allevarlo quando sarà nato. Ci si sforza di informarsi, confrontarsi, prendere le misure. Ma, come racconta questa divertente guida pratica, quello che si ha in mente prima non corrisponde mai a quello che succederà dopo.
Knights at Court
Knights at Court is a grand tour and survey of manners, manhood, and court life in the Middle Ages, like no other in print. Composed on an epic canvas, this authoritative work traces the development of court culture and its various manifestations from the latter years of the Holy Roman Empire (ca. A.D. 1000) to the Italian Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Leading medievalist and Renaissance scholar Aldo Scaglione offers a sweeping sociological view of three geographic areas that reveals a surprising continuity of courtly forms and motifs: German romances; the lyrical and narrative literature of northern and southern France; Italy's chivalric poetry. Scaglione discusses a...

Publisher description
Venice's Hidden Enemies
How could early modern Venice, a city renowned for its political freedom and social harmony, also have become a center of religious dissent and inquisitorial repression? To answer this question, John Martin develops an innovative approach that deftly connects social and cultural history. The result is a profoundly important contribution to Renaissance and Reformation studies. Martin offers a vivid re-creation of the social and cultural worlds of the Venetian heretics—those men and women who articulated their hopes for religious and political reform and whose ideologies ranged from evangelical to anabaptist and even millenarian positions. In exploring the connections between religious beliefs and social experience, he weaves a rich tapestry of Renaissance urban life that is sure to intrigue all those involved in anthropological, religious, and historical studies—students and scholars alike. How could early modern Venice, a city renowned for its political freedom and social harmony, also have become a center of religious dissent and inquisitorial repression? To answer this question, John Martin develops an innovative approach that deftly conn
The Elf Queen of Shannara
The third volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time “Find the Elves and return them to the world of Men!” the shade of the Druid Allanon had ordered Wren. It was clearly an impossible task. The Elves had been gone from the Westland for more than a hundred years. There was not even a trace of their former city of Arborlon left to mark their passing. No one in the Esterland knew of them -- except, finally, the Addershag. The blind old woman had given instructions to find a place on the coast of the Blue Divide, build a fire, and keep it burning for three days. “One will come for you." Tiger Ty, the Wing Rider, had come on his g...

Once Upon a Time in Italy
In the mid-1960s an unknown Italian film director named Sergio Leone was given $200,000 and some leftover film stock, and he went to make a Western. With an American TV actor named Clint Eastwood and a script based on a samurai epic, Leone wound up creating "A Fistful of Dollars", the first in a trilogy of films (with "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly") that was violent, cynical, and visually stunning. Along with his later masterpiece, "Once Upon a Time in the West", these films came to define the Spaghetti Western
Venice & Antiquity
Inscriptions, medals, and travelers' accounts, on more learned humanist and antiquarian writings, and, most importantly, on the art of the period, Brown explores Venice's evolving sense of the past. She begins with the late middle ages, when Venice sought to invent a dignified civic past by means of object, image, and text. Moving on to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, she discusses the collecting and recording of antiquities and the incorporation of Roman forms.
