"Normale e complicato" è la proposta ironico/dissacrante di un metodo per affrontare i grandi dolori. La storia illustrata del Lavoro del Lutto è povera di parole - il lettore può proiettarvi se stesso - e l'Appendice densa di dati. Come mostrano Bibliografia e grafico, tali dati derivano da studi recenti, da una ricerca che ho condotto su un campione di 100 persone e dalla mia esperienza personale e professionale. Lavoro a questo metodo da 5 anni - dacché un grande dolore m'ha colpita in prima persona - e ho potuto verificarne l'efficacia su quei pazienti che mi si sono rivolti per l'elaborazione di una sofferenza importante. L'obiettivo è scongiurare lo sviluppo del Disturbo da Lutto Persistente e finora, è stato sempre raggiunto.

A breathless, high-stakes quest to save the miniature world of the Tree — and reunite loved ones lost — unfolds with wit, suspense, and startling revelations.

Toby’s world is under greater threat than ever before. A giant crater has been dug right into the center of the Tree, moss and lichen have invaded the branches, and one tyrant controls it all. Leo Blue, once Toby’s best friend, is holding Toby’s beloved Elisha prisoner, hunting the Grass People with merciless force, and inflicting a life of poverty and fear on the Tree People. But after several years among the Grass People, Toby has returned to fight back. And this time he’s not alone: a resistance is forming. In the much-anticipated sequel to the award-winning Toby Alone, the compelling eco-adventure reaches its gripping conclusion.

Oceans is the official companion volume to the challenging, breathtakingly
beautiful documentary of the same name,  created by Jacques Perrin and a
crack team of scientists, cinematographers, divers, and technical
specialists. A veteran of more than forty years of film-making and
exploring the natural world in works like The Monkey People and
Microcosmos, Perrin is the public face of an elite group that includes both
veterans of Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s pioneering exploits and cutting-edge
innovators whose custom-created equipment captures never-before-witnessed
scenes.

From the tropics to Antarctica, from Norway to New Zealand, and from tiny
organisms at the bottom of the marine food chain to such magnificent
creatures as blue whales, polar bears, swordfish, and giant squid, this
vividly illustrated, deeply informative volume roams the seven-tenths of
Earth blanketed by oceans that make our blue planet so hospitable to life.
To capture the images here, divers swam unprotected among great white
sharks and patiently staked out the breeding grounds where families of
humpback whales sing their distinctive songs. Resourceful crew members
created everything from streamlined camera pods able to keep pace with
frolicking dolphins to a remote-controlled, mini-helicopter which hovered
over a pod of whales to obtain footage impossible otherwise. Photographers
invented a microscopic lens that revealed and recorded new universes of
plankton, algae, coral, and tiny fish eggs – the minute building blocks
that nourish this entire intricate, interdependent ecosystem.

Not just an authoritative, wide-ranging guide to the world’s oceans, this
is also a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of practical film-making
under demanding, often difficult, sometimes downright dangerous conditions
… and, last but by no means least, it’s a clear-eyed, timely, persuasive
preview of future seas: what we might have if we act now – and what we will
surely get if we don’t.

Toby Lolness may be just one and a half millimeters tall, but he's the most wanted person in his world — the world of the great oak Tree. Toby's father has made a groundbreaking discovery: the Tree itself is alive, lowing with vital energy, and there may even be a world beyond it. Greedy developers itch to exploit this forbidden knowledge, risking permanent damage to their natural world. But Toby's father has refused to reveal his findings, causing the family to be exiled to the lower branches. Only Toby has managed to escape — but for how long? And how can he bear to leave his parents to their terrible fate?
