This new, fourth edition of Bradt’s Italy: Abruzzo remains the only standalone English-language guide to this beautiful, increasingly favoured part of Italy. Abruzzo offers the best of undiscovered Italy, from pristine beaches to mountain glaciers, with charming medieval villages clinging to the hillsides in between. This edition has been thoroughly updated to cover all recent developments, explaining in detail its appeal for active tourism, including wildlife-watching, trekking, skiing and horse-riding, plus family holidays. Abruzzo offers one of Italy’s most beautiful coastlines, which lies near the country’s tallest mountain ranges outside the Alps. Little wonder that Abruzzo is Ita...
The essential guidebook for walking in Abruzzo, a wild and beautiful region of Italy which includes the Maiella and Gran Sasso national parks and Sirente-Velino regional park. 40 walks include the Val di Rose, the Prati di Tivo, and an ascent of Corno Grande, the highest point in the Apennines of peninsular Italy. Walks range from 4km to 25km and there are routes for all abilities. Alongside detailed route descriptions and maps there is advice on where to stay, access and parking information to get you to the start, and a useful Italian-English glossary. Despite being close to Rome, Abruzzo is one of Italy's least known and populated regions - a spectacular and harmonious blend of snowy mountains, grassy plains and forested canyons; of hillside olive groves, vineyards and long sandy beaches. Its stunning natural environments are protected in three national parks, one regional park and many smaller reserves. Thousands of years of history are reflected in a multitude of abandoned castles, hilltop villages and ancient farmsteads; religious dedication echoed in splendid abbeys, silent churches and remote hermitages.
New from Bradt is Croatia: Dalmatian Coast, a travel guidebook that focuses exclusively and in detail on this popular part of Croatia. Co-authored by travel writer Piers Letcher, who wrote six editions of Bradt’s guide Croatia, and longstanding Dalmatian resident Jane Foster, Croatia: Dalmatian Coast offers intimate local insights into where best to stay and eat, and what to see and do in this gorgeous southeast European enclave. With rugged limestone mountains, crystalline turquoise waters and pine-scented islands, Dalmatia has for centuries delighted explorers – and this is where most of today’s visitors to Croatia still head. With its balmy Mediterranean climate, this is a land of s...
This new title continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but increasingly popular Italian regions and is the only guide available to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region which forms the major part of the hinterland of Venice (but does not - despite the name - include Venice itself), and which is a convenient and fascinating place to spend time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing In the country. It is notable also for its wines and distinctive cuisine which, with touches of neighbouring Austria and Slovenia stirred in, are starting to attract attention around the world. Written by long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, background and practical information...

Il trauma che si è abituati a gestire è quello fisico, delle malattie e delle ferite. Tuttavia curare solo la malattia non garantisce necessariamente un benessere complessivo al paziente. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è rendere replicabili dei modelli di intervento per la promozione del benessere e la riduzione della sintomatologia del disturbo da stress post traumatico con EMDR nello scenario del contesto sanitario. Il volume si rivolge ai terapeuti con uno sguardo rivolto ai medici e ai sanitari tutti, che quotidianamente lavorano a contatto con la sofferenza e che, nonostante sviluppino un’alta soglia di tolleranza alle situazioni da stress estremo, possono manifestare disturbi a breve o lungo termine a seguito di traumatizzazione vicaria. Il presente volume offre una parte clinica teorica di riferimento, una sezione interventi e un’appendice in cui sono riportati strumenti, scale e protocolli d’azione specifici applicabili in contesti emergenziali e in ambito peritraumatico.
La vita femminile è segnata, oggi più di ieri e in modo differente, dalle tappe della vita riproduttiva. Ma cosa è davvero cambiato rispetto a un passato non così remoto, quando la comparsa della prima mestruazione sanciva la femminilità adulta, nell'arco di pochi anni la donna realizzava il suo progetto di maternità e il rapporto di coppia era più legato al bisogno sessuale maschile e alla gravidanza che non al desiderio e al piacere sessuale della donna? Negli ultimi trent'anni abbiamo assistito a una vera e propria rivoluzione: se da un lato non è cambiato il momento del menarca e della menopausa - date immutabili scritte nella biologia femminile - dall'altro la cultura ha modific...
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the nineteenth century, as well as the beginning of the twentieth century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person's age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation, and the date of arrival. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
