Anthony William, unico medical medium, ha aiutato decine di migliaia di persone a guarire da sintomi erroneamente diagnosticati, che erano stati trattati in modo inefficace o che i medici non erano riusciti a risolvere. Fa tutto questo ascoltando una voce divina che gli parla letteralmente all'orecchio, rivelandogli quale sia la causa del dolore o della malattia di una persona e cosa fare per recuperare la salute. Il suo metodo ha ottenuto risultati spettacolari anche con le persone che hanno speso anni e fiumi di denaro nell'inutile tentativo di guarire, prima di rivolgersi a lui. Ora, in questo libro rivoluzionario, Anthony apre le porte su tutto quello che ha imparato in questi venticinque anni di lavoro: una mole enorme di informazioni sulla guarigione, e per scoprire molte di esse la scienza impiegherà ancora anni. Grazie a questo libro, scopri: le cause delle malattie e dei disturbi spesso fraintese dalla comunità medica o difficili da comprendere; soluzioni naturali per decine di patologie, dal morbo di Lyme, alla fibromialgia, all'affaticamento cronico, agli squilibri ormonali, alla depressione e molto altro; soluzioni per ritrovare il benessere a livello di anima e spirito, dopo che la malattia ha danneggiato il nostro tessuto emozionale. Se hai ricevuto una diagnosi che non riesci a capire, se hai sintomi a cui non sai dare un nome, se qualcuno che ami è malato o se vuoi aiutare meglio i tuoi stessi pazienti.

Le ultime acquisizioni sul concetto di recovery, i contributi delle neuroscienze (e in particolare delle neuroscienze sociali), nonché i risultati raggiunti dai trattamenti offerti in uno stadio precoce di malattia, evidenziano che gli esiti di ripresa di salute mentale si declinano non solo nella dimensione biologica, ma anche in quella funzionale e psicologica; che esercizi di apprendimento di abilità, in presenza di adeguati supporti, rendono reversibili specifici micro danni cerebrali; che, se si previene la progressione della disabilità, la conseguenza più grave delle malattie mentali, i tassi di guarigione arrivano anche al 90%, a condizione che i trattamenti psicofarmacologici vengano integrati con i trattamenti psicosociali rivelatisi efficaci nel migliorare il funzionamento, ridurre lo stigma interno e limitare le sequele traumatiche della patologia psichiatrica. All'interno di tale nuova ed entusiasmante prospettiva, aiutare i pazienti a riguadagnare validi ruoli sociali deve diventare la vision principale dei sistemi dei Servizi di salute mentale, dando assoluta importanza al processo riabilitativo, ai suoi modelli di programma e ai principi che orientano la sua pratica. In quest'ottica il volume è un ulteriore tentativo per favorire questo cambiamento di paradigma. Descrivendo sinteticamente il processo riabilitativo e la base di conoscenza su cui è fondato - secondo il modello sviluppato dai colleghi del Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation dell'Università di Boston - viene data anche rilevanza alle componenti fondamentali dei principali programmi riabilitativ

As eclectic, whimsical, and esoteric as his music, this collection of drawings, paintings, and mixed media pieces by Devendra Banhart confirms his status as one of today's most imaginative and accomplished artists. With a growing reputation as a visual artist, indie-rock star Devendra Banhart moves as effortlessly between genres as he does between musical instruments. In fact, Banhart trained as a visual artist before making a name in the music world. He draws daily and creates the illustrations for his albums, and this book reveals that his visual creations are as sophisticated as his music, and worthy of attention. Banhart draws inspiration from artists such as Henry Darger, Paul Klee, and Cy Twombly, but his work clearly reflects a 21st century aesthetic that is at once self-effacing and sharp-witted. Featuring a cross-section of his best work from the last decade, this collection is presented as a kind of "idea book"--including Banhart's own commentary and musings as well as photographs and other ephemera, an essay by renowned art dealer Jeffrey Deitch, and an interview with curator Diego Cortez. The result is a multi-dimensional portrait of a talented artist and an exciting glimpse into his creative process.

This book offers a thoroughly updated guide to the MPI (Message-Passing Interface) standard library for writing programs for parallel computers. Since the publication of the previous edition ofUsing MPI, parallel computing has become mainstream. Today, applications run on computers with millions of processors; multiple processors sharing memory and multicore processors with multiple hardware threads per core are common. The MPI-3 Forum recently brought the MPI standard up to date with respect to developments in hardware capabilities, core language evolution, the needs of applications, and experience gained over the years by vendors, implementers, and users. This third edition ofUsing MPI reflects these changes in both text and example code.

The book takes an informal, tutorial approach, introducing each concept through easy-to-understand examples, including actual code in C and Fortran. Topics include using MPI in simple programs, virtual topologies, MPI datatypes, parallel libraries, and a comparison of MPI with sockets. For the third edition, example code has been brought up to date; applications have been updated; and references reflect the recent attention MPI has received in the literature. A companion volume,Using Advanced MPI, covers more advanced topics, including hybrid programming and coping with large data.

Faccenda molto spinosa, nell'Inghilterra elisabettiana, trattare in teatro personaggi della storia recente come, ad esempio, Tommaso Moro, umanista amato e stimato, ma anche mite e tenace oppositore del nuovo matrimonio di Enrico VIII con Anna Bolena, madre di Elisabetta I. Tuttavia la sua ascesa alle più alte sfere della politica nazionale e la sua rovinosa caduta costituivano una trama perfetta per chiunque volesse denunciare la natura corrotta del potere e le sue derive violente. Il dramma Tommaso Moro fu composto da alcuni dei più grandi drammaturghi elisabettiani e fra essi, ormai è assodato, va annoverato Shakespeare, non solo autore delle pagine scritte di suo pugno, ma probabilmente ispiratore dell'opera. Ipotesi, questa, quanto mai suggestiva perché rivelerebbe una stretta vicinanza ideale fra due figure straordinarie: il celebre e ironico statista e uno fra i più grandi poeti di ogni tempo, capace come pochi di leggere lo spirito dell'uomo e di esprimerlo con parole e immagini che non hanno conosciuto oblio. Tommaso Moro è quindi qualcosa di più di un dramma teatrale: dopo essere stato un mistero per molti secoli è stato portato sulle scene dalla Royal Shakespeare Company solo nel 2005 -, oggi appare come un'opera di fondamentale importanza per comprendere a fondo la figura di Shakespeare, in special modo in rapporto alla sua controversa appartenenza alla fede cattolica che proprio queste pagine renderebbero plausibile. Introduzione di Joseph Pearce.

Throughout History, the Indian Ocean has been a zone of interaction between far-flung civilizations served by ports, and connected with the Mediterranean by the Gulf and Red Sea. The shows that were the vehicles of commercial and cultural exchange over this vast expanse of ocean ranged from small craft rarely venturing out of sight of land, to cargo vessels carrying navigators skilled in the art of deep sea sailing. These Arab, Persian and Indian seamen used the seasonal monsoon winds, and applied navigational techniques that relied on their ability to read the stars in the night sky – skills that had developed down the generations from time immemorial. This stellar navigation, based on measuring the altitude of the Pole Star to establish latitude and on the risings and settings of certain stars to find direction, grew into a complex art, belying the simplicity of the instruments used. Bringing together six scholars specializing in the maritime history and culture of the Arabs (Anthony R. Constable, William Facey, Yacoub Al-Hijji, Paul Lunde, Hassan Salih Shihab and Eric Staples), this book makes a new and vital contribution to the study of a nautical culture that has hitherto not received its due share of attention, and which is vital to an understanding of Indian Ocean history. Drawing on source material such as the guides by the renowned southern Arabian navigators Ahmad ibn Majid and Sulayman al-Mahri in the 15th and 16th centuries AD, as well as surviving logbooks of how captains in the early 20th, the volume covers the principal ideas, techniques, instruments and calculations used, deploying astronomy, geometry and mathematics to explain their methods. It includes an account of a practical attempt to apply these methods in 2010, on an adventurous voyage from Muscat to Singapore in a reconstructed early medieval dhow, and concludes with an analysis of sailing conditions in the Red Sea..

Quando nel 1899 l'attore americano William Gillette iniziò a portare sulle scene 'Sherlock Holmes. Dramma in quattro atti', opera teatrale da lui scritta con l'approvazione di Arthur Conan Doyle, che aveva creato il personaggio del grande investigatore, forse non si rendeva conto della qualità rivoluzionaria della sua azione. Infatti, è grazie al testo di Gillette, e alla sua instancabile attività di attore, se oggi uno dei personaggi più celebri e più amati dai lettori e dagli spettatori di tutto il mondo ha le caratteristiche che ben conosciamo. Nell'anno che celebra il 125° dalla creazione del personaggio e il 75° dalla scomparsa di William Gillette, questa prima traduzione integrale ed edizione critica dell'opera vuole offrire al pubblico italiano la possibilità di conoscere questo testo teatrale di indubbia rilevanza. Il libro propone 'Sherlock Holmes. Dramma in quattro atti' e 'Il doloroso dilemma di Sherlock Holmes. Divertissment in un decimo di atto,' di William Gillette; il poco noto 'II diamante della corona', uno dei pochi testi teatrali di Arthur Conan Doyle; e 'Passi sulle scale', un dramma in un atto di Anthony Nathan O'Malley, finora inedito anche in originale.
