'La raccolta della poetessa Julia Simona Guerrero è uno scrigno magico che racchiude poesie, in spagnolo e in italiano, sull'amore, sulla natura, sulla giustizia e sulla lealtà.' Dalla prefazione di Hafez Haidar.

Il quarto trimestre è il naturale prolungamento della gravidanza: durante questi primi tre mesi, importantissimi processi fisiologici legati alla nascita, sia del bambino che della mamma, sono ancora in atto: sono naturali e ci sono molti modi per viverli al meglio. Durante gli ultimi giorni di gravidanza, il parto e fino al ritorno a casa con il bebè, una mamma si trova a vivere uno strabiliante sconvolgimento fisico, ormonale ed emozionale. Le necessità del bambino e le necessità della mamma in questo delicato momento sono ancora una cosa sola: li lega un meraviglioso vortice di sensazioni, odori, ormoni. L'importanza del tatto, del contatto pelle a pelle con il bambino (sin dal lettino in sala parto), del riposo (tanto) e del movimento (con dolcezza), avviare l'allattamento senza stress e mantenerlo per tutto il tempo che desideriamo, curare in modo naturale i disturbi più e meno frequenti (quelli cui tutte le mamme vanno incontro ma di cui nessuno parla), la giusta alimentazione e i micronutrienti per sostenere il nostro corpo e le nostre emozioni, ricevere le cure e saper chiedere aiuto a chi abbiamo vicino. Riconnettersi con se stesse e con il nostro bambino, in modo spontaneo, essere preparate. Una guida scritta da una donna, mamma e professionista con anni di esperienza, per rispondere a tutti i dubbi che naturalmente sorgono quando nasce una mamma.

Introducing Drew FarthingFrom The Tip oF His black Homburg to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he’s the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he just discovered. Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, a guest from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he’s learned reading his mysteries to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he or she appears to be — not the butler nor blackmailer, the chauffeur nor embezzler. Trying hard to remain one step ahead of the killer — and trying harder to impress Madeline — Drew must decide how far to take this dangerous game.

The perfect gift for any follower of Julia Child—and any lover of French food. This boxed set brings together Mastering the Art of French Cooking, first published in 1961, and its sequel, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume Two, published in 1970.

Volume One is the classic cookbook, in its entirety—524 recipes.
“Anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere,” wrote Mesdames Beck, Bertholle, and Child, “with the right instruction.” And here is the book that, for nearly fifty years, has been teaching Americans how.
Mastering the Art of French Cooking is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food and long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. The techniques learned in this beautiful book, with more than one hundred instructive illustrations, can be applied to recipes in all other French cookbooks, making them infinitely usable. In compiling the secrets of famous Cordon Bleu chefs, the authors produced a magnificent volume that continues to have a place of honor in American kitchens.

Volume Two is the sequel to the great cooking classic—with 257 additional recipes.
Following the publication of the celebrated Volume One, Julia Child and Simone Beck continued to search out and sample new recipes among the classic dishes and regional specialties of France—cooking, conferring, tasting, revising, perfecting. Out of their discoveries they made, for Volume Two, a brilliant selection of precisely those recipes that not only add to the repertory but, above all, bring the reader to a new level of mastery of the art of French cooking.
Each of these recipes is worked out step-by-step, with the clarity and precision that are the essence of the first volume. Five times as many drawings as in Volume One make the clear instructions even more so.
Perhaps the most remarkable achievement of this volume is that it will make Americans actually more expert than their French contemporaries in two supreme areas of cookery: baking and charcuterie. In France one can turn to the local bakery for fresh and expertly baked bread, or to neighborhood charcuterie for pâtés and terrines and sausages. Here, most of us have no choice but to create them for ourselves.
Bon appétit!

Inizia una nuova era per Wonder Woman in questo volume che raccoglie il ciclo scritto da Gail Simone (Criminali Uniti) e disegnato da Terry Dodson (Wonder Woman: 'Un Anno Dopo'), e che promette di essere uno dei migliori di sempre della Principessa Amazzone. Cos'è esattamente 'Il Circolo', e quale segreto conosce sulle origini di Diana? Quale razza familiare torna dal passato di Wonder Woman con l'obbiettivo di spiare l'agente speciale Diana Prince? Perché il Dipartimento degli Affari Metaumani è sul punto di scontrarsi con la Società dei Supercriminali?

Fluid Mechanics, as a scientific discipline in a modern sense, was established between the last third of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th century. This book analyses its genesis from two lines: resistance and discharge. This approach highlights the existence of a remarkable experimental aspect in the aforementioned research lines, together with their link with problems of a practical nature, such as ballistics, hydraulics, fluid-using machines or naval theory.

“Anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere,” wrote Mesdames Beck, Bertholle, and Child, “with the right instruction.” And here is the book that, for forty years, has been teaching Americans how.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food and long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. This beautiful book, with more than one hundred instructive illustrations, is revolutionary in its approach because:

• It leads the cook infallibly from the buying and handling of raw ingredients, through each essential step of a recipe, to the final creation of a delicate confection.
• It breaks down the classic cuisine into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of recipes; the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire.
• It adapts classical techniques, wherever possible, to modern American conveniences.
• It shows Americans how to buy products, from any supermarket in the U.S.A., that reproduce the exact taste and texture of the French ingredients: equivalent meat cuts, for example; the right beans for a cassoulet; the appropriate fish and shellfish for a bouillabaisse.
• It offers suggestions for just the right accompaniment to each dish, including proper wines.

Since there has never been a book as instructive and as workable as Mastering the Art of French Cooking, the techniques learned here can be applied to recipes in all other French cookbooks, making them infinitely more usable. In compiling the secrets of famous cordons bleus, the authors have produced a magnificent volume that is sure to find the place of honor in every kitchen in America.

There has been more material progress in the United States in the 20th Century than in the entire world in all previous centuries combined.
