Blind Landing
Fear stops dreams in their tracks before they even have a chance. Then again, so do injuries. Natalia Grekov was born to win a gold medal. As the USA's top gymnast, she's calm, confident and ready to make her country proud in just two short months. And her elite athlete lifestyle includes no time for distractions-especially men. When a disastrous fall in practice puts her dreams at risk, it seems the only person who can help her is the one person she wants nothing from. Spencer Russell is gymnastics' bad boy. A cocky, laid-back charmer with abs of steel and a witty mouth, he waltzes around the U.S. Gymnastics Training Camp like he owns the place-even though he doesn't anymore. After an injury sidelined his career and any chance at glory, he's now just a coach, helping other gymnasts reach their goals. Serious is not a word in Spencer's vocabulary. But when Natalia tumbles into his life, he's suddenly sincerely interested in helping the blonde beauty in any way he can. Can they vault over the obstacles standing in their way? Or will Spencer be the distraction that causes Natalia's chance at gold to crash and burn?

Magellano
Un periplo infernale che David Salomoni racconta con incommensurabili dettagli: dai diari di bordo alle scorte di sedano, dalle trattative con i nativi alle condanne dei rivoltosi, dalla natura aggressiva della Patagonia alla perfida incontrollabilità dei marosi, dalle piccole colonizzazioni ai primi pinguini della storia, dalla preda di chiodi di garofano e zenzero ai repentini cambi di rotta. Giovanni Mari, "La Stampa" La verità storica non si lascia addomesticare e il ritorno ai fatti e ai documenti è indispensabile; perciò va consigliata la lettura di Magellano. Il primo viaggio intorno al mondo di David Salomoni. Andrea Canova, "Alias – il manifesto" 500 anni fa Ferdinando Magellano guidò le sue navi oltre la Patagonia, fino a un altro mare. Un viaggio senza precedenti, una storia capace di affascinare, meravigliare e commuovere.
