Questo sussidio si presenta come un dizionario contenente sessanta brevi voci: da 'Accoglienza del feretro' a 'Visita alla famiglia'. In modo agile e divulgativo, si propone di aiutare i pastori e gli operatori pastorali nella comprensione sia della teologia del 'Rito delle esequie '(giunto nel 2012 alla seconda edizione italiana), sia delle sue dimensioni più propriamente rituali e liturgiche, senza dimenticare le ricadute più vaste nel campo della pastorale dei defunti.

Il programma presentato in questo volume si articola in tre parti: aritmetica, geometria, statistica e rappresentazione grafica, ciascuna suddivisa in unità di apprendimento e di consolidamento. Nell'ambito di ciascuna unità viene trattato uno specifico argomento 'cardine' per il passaggio dalla scuola primaria alla secondaria. Le singole schede sono strutturate in ordine a obiettivi specifici a partire dalla sperimentazione fino alla strutturazione del concetto con avvio alla formalizzazione di regole. Dal punto di vista metodologico-didattico, si privilegia il canale visivo iconico rispetto a quello verbale e quello operativo rispetto al canale formale. I contenuti sono elaborati a partire da situazioni concrete, colte dal vissuto quotidiano e dal semplice al complesso, lasciando che il bambino ricavi da sé i concetti, riorganizzando l'esperienza vissuta. Il volume, rivolto a insegnanti curricolari, di sostegno e genitori, potrà essere usato sia come 'vademecum' di approfondimento durante gli ultimi anni della scuola primaria, sia come quaderno di ripasso o di consolidamento per il passaggio dalla scuola primaria alla secondaria. Con la supervisione di un adulto, può essere proposto anche ad alunni in difficoltà a livello di scuola secondaria di primo grado.

La prima parte di questo volume, che accompagna e integra l'omonimo software, presenta una breve introduzione teorica sullo sviluppo dei processi dell'intelligenza numerica e sulle principali teorie di riferimento. In questo contesto viene fornita una dettagliata descrizione degli obiettivi e delle strategie adottate dal programma Sviluppare l'intelligenza numerica, di cui questo kit costituisce ia terza tappa. Si illustrano poi nello specifico le finalità e le potenzialità dei singoli giochi-esercizio proposti all'interno del software. Nella seconda parte vengono suggerite alcune attività (attraverso schede didattiche fotocopiabili) che possono essere svolte sia a livello individuale che in gruppo, a partire dalle classi terza e quarta della scuola primaria fino alla prima classe della scuola secondaria di primo grado. La suddivisione delle schede operative riprende la struttura del software: Numeri e cifre, Numeri quantità, Il valore delle cifre, Calcolo a mente e Calcolo scritto. Completa il libro una pratica guida operativa all'uso del CD-ROM.

Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, is about to face the greatest challenge of his life.

Allon is recovering from his grueling showdown with a Palestinian master terrorist, when terrorism comes to find him once again. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer—photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, straight at the heart of the Vatican.

Allon warns his old friend Monsignor Luigi Donati, the pope’s private secretary, and rushes to Rome to assist in security, but what neither he nor Donati knows is that the Vatican has been thoroughly penetrated. An extraordinary enemy walks among them…and he’s just getting started.

In the days and weeks to come, Allon and his colleagues will find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world—a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back. But for them, there may simply not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck.

All Allon can do is set his trap—and hope that he is not the one caught in it.

Haunted by his failure to stop the massacre, Gabriel returns to his cottage in Cornwall, until a summons brings him to Washington, into a confrontation with the new face of global terror. At the center of the threat is an American-born cleric in Yemen to whom Allah has granted ?a beautiful and seductive tongue.?

Questo libro mette in risalto come sia importante sviluppare in maniera sistematica e coordinata non solo la capacità di eseguire operazioni, ma anche le componenti cognitive sottese, con l'obiettivo di far acquisire al bambino una buona padronanza sia delle abilità di conteggio sia delle basi del sistema numerico, indispensabili per apprendere a calcolare in maniera veloce e accurata. Quindi, dopo un'introduzione sullo sviluppo dell'intelligenza numerica e sulle principali teorie di riferimento, sviluppa quattro aree che si riferiscono ai processi cognitivi principali implicati nel calcolo: conteggio, processi di base della cognizione numerica, strategie del calcolo a mente e prime procedure del calcolo scritto. Sono presenti numerose schede didattiche operative che integrano le attività proposte nel software. Per la sua immediatezza e semplicità d'uso, anche i genitori troveranno questo programma un ottimo strumento con cui affiancare i propri figli nella costruzione della conoscenza numerica. Il CD-ROM allegato è stato pensato per consentire ai bambini di conoscere i numeri da un punto di vista aritmetico e di usarli per calcolare e non semplicemente come etichette verbali da utilizzare in diverse occasioni.

Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and assassin, returns in a spellbinding new novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.

Over the course of a brilliant career, Daniel Silva has established himself as 'the gold standard' of thriller writers (Dallas Morning News) who 'has hit upon the perfect formula to keep espionage-friendly fans' fingers glued to his books, turning pages in nearly breathless anticipation' (BookPage). But now, having reached 'the pinnacle of world-class spy thriller writing' (The Denver Post), Silva has produced his most extraordinary novel to date-a tale of greed, passion, and murder spanning more than half a century, centered on an object of haunting beauty.

Two families, one terrible secret, and a painting to die for ...

Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer, Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve.

In the ancient English city of Glastonbury, an art restorer has been brutally murdered and a long-lost portrait by Rembrandt mysteriously stolen. Despite his reluctance, Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to search for the painting and those responsible for the crime. But as he painstakingly follows a trail of clues leading from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and, finally, to a villa on the graceful shores of Lake Geneva, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting. And evil men behind them.

Before he is done, Gabriel will once again be drawn into a world he thought he had left behind forever, and will come face to face with a remarkable cast of characters: a glamorous London journalist who is determined to undo the worst mistake of her career, an elusive master art thief who is burdened by a conscience, and a powerful Swiss billionaire who is known for his good deeds but may just be behind one of the greatest threats facing the world.

Filled with remarkable twists and turns of plot, and told with seductive prose, The Rembrandt Affair is more than just summer entertainment of the highest order. It is a timely reminder that there are men in the world who will do anything for money.

Il CD-ROM è stato pensato per favorire un approccio graduale e giocoso alla conoscenza numerica nei bambini di età prescolare. Un simpatico eschimese tra i ghiacci del Polo Nord propone attività e giochi mirati per potenziare i processi cognitivi alla base della conoscenza numerica e del calcolo: l'apprendimento del nome dei numeri, l'automatizzazione della sequenza numerica, la stima del peso, della numerosità, dello spazio, delle dimensioni degli oggetti, il rapido riconoscimento visivo, la distinzione di un'unità dall'insieme, l'introduzione dell'ordinalità, l'avviamento all'uso del codice arabico fino al 10. Una sezione finale di giochi allena ulteriormente il bambino in attività numeriche e di calcolo sotto forma di appassionanti sfide al computer. Il libro dopo un'introduzione sullo sviluppo dell'intelligenza numerica, analizza i quattro processi cognitivi principali per la costruzione della conoscenza numerica: processi lessicali, processi semantici, processi sintattici e il counting. Viene quindi illustrato il percorso didattico proposto nel CD-ROM, integrato con una serie di schede di lavoro stampabili.

The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

Over the course of a remarkable career, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the worldÂ's finest writers of international intrigue, a craftsman worthy of comparison to John le Carré and Graham Greene. His latest bestseller, Moscow Rules, was not only superior entertainment but a prescient cautionary tale about the emergence of the New Russia. Now he takes that tale to the next level.

Six months after the blood-soaked conclusion of Moscow Rules, Allon is in Umbria, trying to resume his honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, when a colleague pays him a shocking visit. The man who saved AllonÂ's life in Moscow and was then resettled in England has vanished without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent all along, and they blame Allon for planting him. To discover the truth and clear his own name, Allon must go immediately to London—a decision that will prove to be the most fateful of his career.

In the British capital, he finds himself once more on the front lines of the secret war between East and West, where Russian spies and dissidents engage in the old game of cat and mouse. There, Allon uncovers a much greater conspiracy, a plot by an old enemy to resurrect a network of death, to bring the world to the precipice of a new confrontation, and, in order to stop it, he must risk everything: his ties to an organization he has served since his youth, his new marriage . . . even his life. Filled with breathtaking turns of plot and populated by a remarkable cast of characters, The Defector is more than the most explosive thriller of the summer. It is a searing tale of love, vengeance, and courage created by the writer whom the critics call “the perfect guide to the dangerous forces shaping our world” (The Orlando Sentinel).

Media l'età delle protagoniste della storia; media la loro collocazione nel mondo; medio il tono della narrazione. Tre donne sono le protagoniste del romanzo, tre amiche 'per caso', diverse nella sensibilità, nella storia personale, nelle aspirazioni, ma unite dalla magica ricerca della fontana della giovinezza. Tre protagoniste e un antagonista, il Tempo, e se la lotta appare impari, la vittoria della battaglia, anche se non della guerra, è delle tre donne. Il romanzo si muove tra città e paesaggio alpino, tra Piemonte e Provenza, fra amore e avventura. Finale aperto, che gioca sul tradizionale 'lieto fine', colorandolo di sorridente ironia.

In the aftermath of an Amsterdam-based terrorism analyst's brutal murder by a Muslim immigrant, Gabriel Allon investigates sobering clues pertaining to the victim, in a case with ties to a secret terrorist organization and the abduction of an ambassador's daughter. Reprint.
