Ricablare il cervello, porre fine al dolore. Dal mal di schiena all'emicrania, dall'artrite alla sciatica, oltre 1,2 miliardi di persone in tutto il mondo soffrono di dolore cronico; oltre 10 milioni soltanto in Italia. Si tratta di un'epidemia globale che resiste regolarmente alle cure e può rovinare completamente la vita delle persone. Ma non deve essere così. Questo è il messaggio rivoluzionario dello psicoterapeuta Alan Gordon che, frustrato dalla mancanza di un trattamento efficace per il proprio dolore debilitante, ha sviluppato un approccio di grande successo per eliminare i sintomi senza chirurgia o medicine, offrendo un'alternativa valida e priva di farmaci ai metodi esistenti, che spesso creano dipendenza. Basandosi sulla premessa che il dolore inizia nel cervello e non nel corpo, la Terapia di rielaborazione del dolore consente di ricalibrare i circuiti neurali e di spegnere i segnali di dolore bloccati in uno stato di attivazione. In uno studio innovativo, la Terapia di rielaborazione del dolore ha aiutato il 98% dei pazienti a ridurre i livelli di dolore e il 66% è guarito completamente. Inoltre, questi spettacolari cambiamenti si sono mantenuti nel tempo.

Browning .30-caliber machine guns saw US Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force service in World War I & II, Korea, and Vietnam, and are still occasionally found in use elsewhere even today. Produced in both water-cooled and air-cooled versions, it has been employed in every imaginable role for a machine gun - antipersonnel, antiaircraft, mounted on aircraft as both defensive and offensive armament, defensive armament aboard vehicles (armored and soft-skin), mounted on watercraft, and others.

The .30-caliber story began in World War I, as legendary US weapon-designer John M. Browning strove to develop a belt-fed, water-cooled heavy machine gun to provide infantry support. Significantly lighter than the British Vickers and the German MG 08, the hard-wearing Browning M1917 was among the best in its class; as the M1917A1 it served through World War II and the Korean War, and was only retired in the late 1950s as evolving infantry tactics demanded lighter, more mobile support weapons.

Initially developed as a tank machine gun in World War I, the M1919 air-cooled version saw lengthy service with the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force - as well as the armed forces of other nations - in an enormous variety of roles and environments. World War I had demonstrated that infantry-support machine guns had to be light enough to be hand-carried over rough terrain; the M1919's air-cooled operation made this possible. The commonest version, the M1919A4, was widely employed throughout World War II, Korea, and beyond, while M1919 variants were used as the secondary armament for all US tanks in World War II and on some types of US aircraft and watercraft well into the 1960s. The 'thirty' set such a high standard in reliability that it became the benchmark against which all subsequent weapons have been judged.

Employing gripping first-hand testimony and featuring specially commissioned illustrations and detailed photographs, many in color, this lively study of the Browning .30-caliber machine gun reveals the origins, combat history and legacy of this versatile and dependable weapon.

The Kalashnikov AK-47 is the most ubiquitous assault rifle in the world, with more AK-47s and its variants in use than any other individual small arm. Created by Senior Sergeant Mikhail Kalashnikov, and first adopted by the USSR soon after World War II (1939-1945), its production continues to this day, with an estimated 75 million produced worldwide. It is the longest serving post-World War II military weapon and its ease of use, durability and low production costs ensure that its use will continue for generations to come.

This book takes a look at the complete history of the weapon, discussing its design, development, and usage, taking its story from the great armies of the Soviet Union to the insurgents and criminal gangs that often employ the weapon today.

Anno del Signore 1203. La fragile pace dell'impero bizantino è minacciata dall'improvvisa comparsa della flotta veneziana al largo di Costantinopoli. Invece di dirigersi alla volta della Terra Santa per combattere gli infedeli, il Doge ha infatti deciso di impossessarsi delle ricchezze (cristiane) della capitale dell'Impero. Unica a contrastare le mire espansionistiche di Venezia è la Gilda dei Giullari, sorta di ONU clandestina ante litteram, più servizio segreto che congrega di guitti. Sul posto si trovano l'irresistibile giullare e la travolgente Viola, sua consorte e aiuto investigatrice. Ben presto la situazione sembra precipitare a causa dell'omicidio di un ricco mercante di Bisanzio, vero ago della bilancia tra il Doge e l'imperatore bizantino.

Anno 1200. Posto in allarme da un laconico messaggio, il giullare Feste raggiunge sotto mentite spoglie il ducato di Orsino, dove 15 anni prima - come racconta Shakespeare ne 'La dodicesima notte' - aveva dipanato un'ingarbugliata matassa di troni e sentimenti. Qualcuno, ora, ha ucciso il reggitore del ducato e Feste sospetta che dietro l'omicidio si nasconda Malvolio, l'irriducibile nemico. Ripreso contatto con gli eroi della dodicesima notte, il giullare non tarda a intuire la presenza di un disegno criminoso ben al di là dell'anisia di vendetta di Malvolio. Ma qual'è l'autentica posta in gioco? E perché i cadaveri si moltiplicano?
