Book Description
Vi siete mai chiesti se quanto appreso dai libri di storia corrisponde al vero? Non parlo di scetticismo ma di semplice analisi. I personaggi di questo racconto, si vedranno costretti a scendere dal podio delle loro convinzioni per arrendersi di fronte all'evidenza di nuove verita. La storiografa Marika Corsi, giovane, bella e irruente, si lancera in una spasmodica ricerca di prove tangibili che avvalorino la morte di un dittatore. La madre Laura, oppressa dalla paura di perdere Giorgio, suo marito e padre di Marika, in una altrettanto incessante ricerca di un amore appartenuto ad un recente passato. La prima si ritrovera proiettata in una dimensione carica di ostilita e di violenza, la seconda scoprira quelle profondita che solo un amore vero, sincero, immenso, puo raggiungere. Entrambe si scontreranno con le falsita delle loro certezze. Amore e odio. Due facce della stessa gelida moneta, come un altro freddo protagonista di questa inquietante storia: un misterioso medaglione.

The Complete Book of the SR-71 Blackbird
Author: Richard H. Graham
Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group USA
ISBN: 1627888098
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
The ultimate guide to the history, development, manufacture, modification, and active service of all fifty models in the SR-71 program. At the height of the Cold War in 1964, President Johnson announced a new aircraft dedicated to strategic reconnaissance. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane flew more than three-and-a-half times the speed of sound—so fast that no other aircraft could catch it. Above 80,000 feet, its pilots had to wear full-pressure flight suits similar to what was used aboard the space shuttle. Developed by the renowned Lockheed Skunk Works, the SR-71 was an awesome aircraft in every respect. It was withdrawn from use in 1998, when it was superseded by satellite technology. Twelve of the thirty-two aircraft were destroyed in accidents, but none were ever lost to enemy action. Throughout its thirty-four-year career, the SR-71 was the world’s fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft. It set world records for altitude and speed: an absolute altitude record of 85,069 feet and an absolute speed record of 2,193.2 miles per hour. The Complete Book of the SR-71 Blackbird covers every aspect of the SR-71’s development, manufacture, modification, and active service from the insider’s perspective of one of its pilots and is lavishly illustrated with more than 400 photos. Former pilot and author Richard Graham also examines each of the fifty planes that came out the SR-71 program (fifteen A-12s; three YF-12s; and thirty-two SR-71s) and tells each plane’s history, its unique specifications, and where each currently resides.

Paradise Lost
Annie Chartres Vivanti
Author: Sharon Wood
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 168393007X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
This book explores the work of a writer, Annie Chartres Vivanti (1866–1942), who brought a transnational dimension to the marked provincialism of the Italian novel by addressing issues of gender, ethnicity, and sexuality on personal and international levels, and by creating work that distanced itself from much of the female-penned literature of the day, scorning both decorum and social respectability. Chapters in this book examine Vivanti’s output from multiple perspectives, taking into account her politics and her career as a journalist, writer, and singer, as well as her literary work.
