'Moorehead paints a wonderfully vivid and moving portrait of the women of the Italian Resistance' MAX HASTINGS, SUNDAY TIMES The extraordinary story of the courageous women who spearheaded the Italian Resistance during the Second World War In the late summer of 1943, in the midst of German occupation, the Italian Resistance was born. Ada, Frida, Silvia and Bianca were four young women who signed up. Living in the mountains surrounding Turin their contribution was invaluable. They carried messages and weapons, provided safe houses and took prisoners. As thousands of Italians rose up, they fought to liberate their country. With its corruption, greed and anti-Semitism, the fall of Fascist Italy was unrelentingly violent, but for the partisan women it was also a time of camaraderie and equality, pride and optimism. Through the stories of these four exceptional women, the resolve, tenacity and, above all, courage of the Italian Resistance is laid bare. A Spectator Book of the Year
القصّة الاستثنائية للنساء الشجاعات اللواتي قدنَ المقاومة الإيطالية خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية. آدا، فريدا، سيلفيا، بيانكا، أربع شابات من بييمونتي قاتلنَ كما الآلاف من الرجال والنساء لتحرير إيطاليا. انضممن إلى المقاومة إثر احتلال الألمان بلدهنّ، وفي الجبال المحيطة بتورينو، عشنَ سرّاً حيث صار منزل آدا مقصداً وملجأ للعديد من النساء المقاومات. نهاية حكم موسوليني الفاشيّ، الذي استمرّ عقدين، كانت عنيفة لا رحمة فيها. لكنّ الشجاعة الاستثنائية التي أظهرها الثوار جعلت منهم قوة قتالٍ متماسكة.
What should a book on cardiac diseases tell us about? We are not cardiologists in most instances, nor ordinary patients preparing to be catheterized. This book tries to explain to the average medical reader about the causes, diagnostic advances, and therapeutic opportunities in the context of cardiac diseases in the modern era. The topics covered in this project will enlighten research pathways while rendering clinicians practical solutions to everyday problems in recognition and management of these entities. In brief, students, nurses, paramedical personnel, researchers, junior doctors, and experienced practitioners will benefit from this book when translating theory into practice.
Personalità originale e di singolare valore umano nel mondo politico e culturale piemontese, Frida Malan ha incarnato le molte stagioni di un impegno etico-civile, sempre coerente nel travaglio di un'epoca tormentata. Coraggiosa antifascista combattente, insegnante, politicamente attiva prima nel Partito d'Azione e poi sino alla morte nel Partito socialista, eletta per tre volte nel Consiglio comunale di Torino e quindi assessore per anni all'Igiene e Sanità e successivamente al Patrimonio e Lavori Pubblici, portò nel suo agire l'impronta di una sensibilità umana e culturale affatto particolare. Si distinguevano le sue forti radici morali evangelico-protestanti, peraltro abbinate ad un impegno rigorosamente laico, e la vivace sintonia con il nascente movimento delle donne. Sono qui raccolti una serie di contributi e di testimonianze, corredate da un'antologia degli interventi nel Consiglio comunale torinese, che offrono un ritratto sintetico ma di notevole interesse storico.
