It was not easy to rearrange the thoughts and emotions aroused by reading this work by Gian Micalessin, journalist of “Il Giornale”, war correspondent, and author of numerous reports on contemporary war theaters.

17 / 11 / 2014 - Reading the October issue 2014 of Le Scienze I found interesting, among others, an article entitled "Extra sensory Perceptions" written by Gershon Dublon and Joseph A. Paradiso.

The article, even if the title might seem to deal with topics of parapsychology is instead categorized as "Information Technology".

What I'm talking about today is not a book that contains a story, an analysis or a thesis. What I am telling you today is a book that contains a life, that of a soldier, from the first days of service to "retirement".

Physics has always been my passion, even if not the only one. A few months ago I made a note: "Deepen Manhattan project, read Fermi's biography".

I came across this strange book several years ago, then I tried to deepen my knowledge of psychology. I had read some clinical cases of Freud and I wanted to deepen Jung but then, as so often happens, my interests have changed and the book is finished with many others in the second row of one of my bookstores.

Beautiful biography of one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century!

The author is John Gribbin, physicist and scientific journalist, who manages to tell in a simple and effective way not only the life of Schrodinger but also the last one hundred and fifty years of discoveries in physics.

12/09/2014 - A painting, in itself, can be beautiful if it satisfies our taste, it can, on the other hand, be interesting for its history. The raft of Medusa falls between the category of beautiful and interesting paintings.

So, how to start talking about this book?

We begin to say that I am passionate, among other things, also of Physics.

I've always loved books, I've never stopped reading since I first read my first book, 20.000 leagues under the seas.

Rider Haggard

Henry Rider Haggard, born in Bradenham in England in the 1856, is the author of a wonderful adventure book: Allan Quatermain.

The best known work of the scientist Galileo, the dialogues on the highest systems, tells us about the world according to two different visions, Copernican and Ptolemaic.

Two visions of the world and different laws of nature, but also two different philosophical systems.

Nicola Amato
Ebook

I met Nicola several years ago and this is his second book that I read on the subject and this time I was pleasantly impressed by his ability to make simple and understandable topics in very complex situations.
Communication and information technology, two important sectors that are increasingly in need of each other.

How many things have happened in the world in these 68 years ... but of all that has happened we are only interested in a small but very important part, that relating to the life and discoveries of Enrico Schliemann, the merchant, the adventurer, the seeker of 'gold, the man who spoke eighteen languages, learned with his self-taught method.

I don't know why but I was convinced that I had long read one of the classics of the gothic novel, "Dracula", by the Irish writer Bram Stoker (1847-1912). Yet it was a false belief of mine, perhaps based on the many vampire movies that have come out in recent years, perhaps a simple mistake.

Several years ago I read, for the first time, the biography of Richelieu. Probably I did it at a time when my mind was occupied by so many thoughts because in principle I did not remember anything other than having already read the book.

Who has not heard of Churchill?

Who has not seen some of his image, perhaps with the cigar in his mouth and the overcoat all torn?

Afghanistan is not just war. It is a country that today, thanks to the work of Italian soldiers, looks at the future with hope. Vincenzo Rubano recounts his experience as an envoy in Afghanistan in the volume "Soldiers of Peace".

Xenophon, historical, political and military Greek lived between the 430 and the 355 aC (the but is obligatory!) Will guide us in the world of the Persians of the seventh and sixth century BC
