The Mafia's Black Opal
Valerio Marchioni Six years ago, I got the job I never wanted—being the head of the Italian Mafia. There’s no room to take my position lightly. I do whatever is required of me, according to the rules passed down from my father, including marrying someone I’m not in love with. I hold respect for her as the mother of my children and a former member of another Italian family. It only takes one night for us to be split apart forever. One vulnerable moment when I leave for a business trip gives someone the chance to attack my family. Now my pregnant wife is gone without a trace to be found. I will find who’s responsible and make sure their blood runs through the streets of New York City. ...
Progress in Volatile Organic Compounds Research
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been intensively investigated in the last few decades. Their origins differ: plant secondary metabolites, food/beverages aromas, fungal/bacterial volatiles, and others. VOCs typically occur as complex mixtures of compounds (e.g., monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, norisoprenoids, aliphatic/aromatic compounds, sulfur containing compounds, and others). They form through different biochemical pathways and can be modified or created during drying or maturation, thermal treatment, and others. Different conventional or modern methods of VOCs isolation, followed by the analysis with chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, usually provide different chemical pr...
Il valore non ha età
Ognuno di noi, almeno una volta nella vita, ha fatto esperienza dei pregiudizi legati all’età e si è dovuto confrontare con gli stereotipi che accompagnano il fatto di essere percepiti dagli altri come «troppo giovani» o «troppo vecchi». Il tema delle generazioni, dei bias e degli stereotipi legati all’ageismo è particolarmente vivo nell’ambito della formazione e della consulenza organizzativa, tanto che si parla ormai di vero e proprio age management. L’obiettivo è sempre lo stesso, che lo si persegua in un’aula di formazione o nelle relazioni interpersonali: favorire la crescita, la consapevolezza e la comprensione reciproca fra persone che hanno età diverse, con ripercu...
Dolce e Crudo
Perchè un libro sui dolci crudi? Perchè i dolci crudi sono un'ottima alternativa per gustare piatti dolci in modo sano. I dolci crudi ti donano vitalità, lucidità mentale ed energia. Ti appagano senza appesantirti come i dolci tradizionali. Inoltre sono sani! Il loro consumo rende la pelle più bella e luminosa, i capelli più folti e lucidi e possono essere inseriti anche nelle diete dimagranti perché, essendo a base di frutta e verdura, non fanno ingrassare. I dolci crudi sono un perfetto escamotage per introdurre più frutta e verdura nella propria alimentazione, anche per chi non ama consumarla (come per esempio i bambini!) o per chi ha intolleranze a latticini, lieviti, uova o farinacei. Tantissimi dessert tradizionali possono essere preparati in versione raw-vegana:deliziosi e sani al tempo stesso. Provare per credere!
Eterna Lobix
La fine del mondo è vicina e inarrestabile come lo è la morte, è soltanto una questione di tempo, è una strada a senso unico e nessuno può averne il controllo. Non esiste un solo mondo, ma diversi mondi che viaggiano in parallelo e vivono in epoche diverse. In uno dei mondi paralleli al nostro, noi ancora non siamo nati. In principio abitavamo in un universo creato da Dio, dove la morte non esisteva. Ma la specie umana si è evoluta troppo in fretta e man mano è rimasta prigioniera in un universo surrogato. Ora esiste solo una via per tornare nel regno di Dio: l’Eterna Lobix. Che cos’è Eterna Lobix? E quali sono i programmi che hanno impostato il CUBE ovvero un potente computer ch...
Vestibular Schwannoma
Vestibular schwannoma is a rare benign tumor arising from VIII cranial nerve. Its localisation into internal auditory canal and cerebello-pontine angle is the main reason for the relevant clinical implication of such disease. This book develops all the features regarding the vestibular schwannoma, starting from the biology of the tumor, passing to the clinical presentation and instrumental diagnostic pathway to make diagnosis and concluding with therapeutic options linked to several factors regarding tumor size, localisation, symptoms, patient characteristics and outcome. The chapters are divided into 3 sections: pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment. Advancements in microsurgical...
Emerging and Re-emerging Viral Infections
The chapters in this topical volume of Advances in Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Public Health present exciting, insightful observations on emerging viral infections like influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome, or mosquito-transmitted diseases, as well as the potential of social media in preventing and fighting infectious diseases. This rapidly developing field of study, which involves interdisciplinary and challenging research conducted in both industrialized and limited-resource countries, can yield vital information for the life and social sciences, for public health, and for healthcare in general. The aim of this volume is to contribute to the development of knowledge on emerging infections in the endless struggle between viruses and man. The chapters selected are not intended as a systematic collection of all emerging infections, but instead highlight recent discoveries and provide insights on today’s hot topics. The book offers a valuable resource for all scientists working in the field of emerging viral infections and possible vaccines, as well as for laboratory and medical staff whose work involves preventing, controlling and combatting infectious diseases.
Soilless Culture: Theory and Practice
Plant production in hydroponics and soilless culture is rapidly expanding throughout the world, raising a great interest in the scientific community. For the first time in an authoritative reference book, authors cover both theoretical and practical aspects of hydroponics (growing plants without the use of soil). This reference book covers the state-of-the-art in this area, while offering a clear view of supplying plants with nutrients other than soil. Soilless Culture provides the reader with an understanding of the properties of the various soiless media and how these properties affect plant performance in relation to basic horticultural operations, such as irrigation and fertilization. Th...
A Global Compendium of Weeds
"The information presented in this compendium is specifically designed to give a weed risk assessor, or anyone interested in the weed potential of a plant, a condensed report of the status of a species with, most importantly, further avenues for finding more information through the extensive reference listing"--p. ii.
