Title :
Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a LionAuthor: Barclay Jane, Benoit Renne (ILT) Publisher: Tundra Books Much has been written about war and remembrance, but very little of it has been for young children. As questions come from a young grandchild, his grandpa talks about how, as a very young man, he was as proud as a peacock in uniform, busy as a beaver on his Atlantic crossing, and brave as a lion charging into battle. Soon, the old man's room is filled with an imaginary menagerie as the child thinks about different aspects of wartime. But as he pins medals on his grandpa's blazer and receives his own red poppy in return, the mood becomes more somber. Outside, the crowd gathered for the veterans' parade grows as quiet as a mouse, while men and women — old and young — march past in the rain. A trumpet plays and Grandpa lays a wreath in memory of his lost friend. Just then, the child imagines an elephant in the mist. “Elephants never forget,” he whispers to his grandpa. “Then let's be elephants,” says the old man, as he wipes water from his eyes and takes his grandson's hand. Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion has relevance to a growing number of families, as new waves of soldiers leave home. € 16,90

Title :
Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAuthor: Ninfa Alexander J. Ph.D., Ballou David P. Ph.D., Benore Marilee Ph.D. Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc Ninfa/Ballou/Parsons is a solid biochemistry lab manual, dedicated to developing research skills in students, allowing them to learn techniques and develop the organizational approaches necessary to conduct laboratory research. Ninfa/Ballou/Parsons focuses on basic biochemistry laboratory techniques with a few molecular biology exercises, a reflection of most courses which concentrate on traditional biochemistry experiments and techniques. The manual also includes an introduction to ethics in the laboratory, uncommon in similar manuals. Most importantly, perhaps, is the authors' three-pronged approach to encouraging students to think like a research scientist: first, the authors introduce the scientific method and the hypothesis as a framework for developing conclusive experiments; second, the manual's experiments are designed to become increasingly complex in order to teach more advanced techniques and analysis; finally, gradually, the students are required to devise their own protocols. In this way, students and instructors are able to break away from a 'cookbook' approach and to think and investigate for themselves. Suitable for lower-level and upper-level courses; Ninfa spans these courses and can also be used for some first-year graduate work. € 113,70

Title :
Modules over Operads and FunctorsAuthor: Fresse Benoit Publisher: Springer Verlag The notion of an operad supplies both a conceptual and effective device to handle a variety of algebraic structures in various situations. Operads were introduced 40 years ago in algebraic topology in order to model the structure of iterated loop spaces. Since then, operads have been used fruitfully in many fields of mathematics and physics.This monograph begins with a review of the basis of operad theory. The main purpose is to study structures of modules over operads as a new device to model functors between categories of algebras as effectively as operads model categories of algebras. € 70,10

Cultura giovanile ed esoterismoAuthor: Domergue Benoît; Brioude R. (cur.); Clemente A. M. (cur.) Publisher: Nova Millennium Romae Un libro che nasce da una grande esperienza pratica. Porta alla luce tutto un sottosuolo tenebroso della nostra società.

Il carattere anticristico di potenti correnti, che l'autore descrive e analizza, indica che ci troviamo di fronte ad un 'segno dei tempi' che la Chiesa deve discernere, collegandoli ad altri segni convergenti che vengono dal nostro mondo. € 15,00

Title :

Così, fra dadi di tutti i tipi, biglie che rimbalzano e una scimmietta dattilografa, i tre giovani protagonisti impareranno a diffidare delle superstizioni, comprenderanno il concetto di probabilità e di eventi indipendenti, e sapranno che per vincere alla lotteria non serve giocare sempre gli stessi numeri.

Title :
Lawrence d'Arabia o il sogno in frantumiAuthor: Benoist-Méchin Jacques Publisher: Carte Scoperte Benoist-Méchin non è interessato al freddo susseguirsi della storia cadenzata dalle date, ma si concentra sull'uomo che con il proprio ingegno modifica il corso degli eventi e tenta di creare un impero per dare forma e durata alle civiltà. Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935), o meglio Lawrence d'Arabia, 'impenetrabile come un leone o un serpente' aveva un unico sogno: 'diventare il capo di un'insurrezione nazionale. ' Personaggio dalle mille sfaccettature, appassionato archeologo, coraggioso agente segreto, attento scrittore, Lawrence fu soprattutto l'instancabile difensore della causa araba. Su di lui sono state costruite leggende ricorrendo a svariati epiteti: avventuriero, mitomane, impostore, traditore... Traditore o tradito? Lawrence risponde: 'In che misura sono responsabile? In quale misura i miei superiori si sono serviti di me per ingannare gli Arabi e in che misura ho accettato di avallare questo raggiro?' 'Questo piccolo uomo vestito di seta, a piedi nudi,...' con gli occhi che 'avevano una trasparenza animale' fu il primo a promuovere una ribellione che si formasse all'interno delle popolazioni arabe, a combattere per dare loro autonomia: un'autonomia vera che non si traducesse in una spartizione tra le potenze europee. € 18,00

Title :
The Story of FrenchAuthor: Nadeau Jean-Benoit, Barlow Julie Publisher: Griffin Imagine a language watched over by a group of “Immortals” wearing Napoleonic hats and brandishing swords, one with rules so complex that mastery is a farce, and one whose speakers spend millions of dollars yearly to place it artfully in literature, music, and film. Now consider that this language is second only to English to the number of countries where it is officially spoken and has tripled in use in the last fifty years. Simultaneously frightening users with its delicately nuanced vowels, it is also beloved by millions for its romantic associations. The language is French, and this, is its story. In a captivating narrative that spans the ages, from Charlemagne to Cirque du Soleil, Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow unravel the mysteries of a language that has maintained its global influence despite the rise of English. As in any good story, The Story of French has spectacular failures, unexpected successes and bears traces of some of history's greatest figures: the tenacity of William the Conqueror, the staunchness of Cardinal Richelieu, and the endurance of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Through this colorful history, Nadeau and Barlow illustrate how French acquired its own peculiar culture, revealing how the culture of the language spread among francophones the world over and yet remains curiously centered in Paris. In fact, French is not only thriving—it still has a surprisingly strong influence on other languages. As lively as it is fascinating, The Story of French challenges long held assumptions about French and shows why it is still the world's other global language. € 19,60

Title :
I confini dell'intenzionalità. Ricerche fenomenologiche e analiticheAuthor: Benoist Jocelyn; Zanet L. M. (cur.) Publisher: Mondadori Bruno Quali sono gli atti che compiamo? Perché la dimensione linguistica è imprescindibile? In che modo il nostro agire e il nostro pensare dipendono dall'agire e dal pensare degli altri? Più in generale, quali sono i confini della nostra intenzionalità? Con uno stile di pensiero originale, Benoist incentra queste pagine sull'individuazione, l'esplicitazione e la definizione dell'intenzionalità considerata in tutte le sue possibili forme e colta nel vivo del suo operare. Interpretata come una presa di mira analoga a quella che l'arciere compie prima di scoccare la freccia, l'intenzionalità è situata in un contesto che riesce a unire con raro equilibrio le esigenze di universalità, tipiche dell'argomentare filosofico, a un'indagine delle concrete situazioni, in cui la conoscenza è radicata. Un testo di grande interesse in cui il lettore, attraverso i numerosi interrogativi, ripensa le dimensioni che contraddistinguono e definiscono la propria esperienza vissuta. € 28,00

Title :
La ribelleAuthor: Duteurtre Benoît Publisher: Excelsior 1881 Eliane Brun, giornalista dell'Autre Canal, è un'autentica ribelle, irriducibile ecologista, pirata telematica e ferocemente avversa alla politica della presidenza Bush. Anche il suo datore di lavoro, il potentissimo tycoon televisivo Mare Menantreau, è un sovversivo, che non esita ad arringare i dipendenti indossando soltanto una T-shirt. I due sembrano quindi intendersela a meraviglia, ma la luna di miele tra il padrone e la sua dipendente sarà di breve durata: gli affari sono sempre affari. Così, per motivi diversi, i due ribelli saranno entrambi licenziati e dovranno reinventarsi un lavoro, anche a costo di rinnegare i loro nobili ideali. Una commedia umana, una tragicomica parabola dei tempi moderni narrata attraverso le peripezie di Eliane Brun, giovane e affascinante giornalista televisiva, progressista e intransigente, che finisce corrotta per amore. Popolato da una galleria di personaggi a metà strada fra Molière e Samuel Beckett, parodia e critica sociale per un grottesco ritratto della società, non solo dello spettacolo. € 16,50
