Personality disorders are patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself that are negative, abnormal, or stressful. They typically persist over time and involve perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors upsetting to the individual who experiences them and which cause significant problems in the person's relationships and professional and social activities. They can include antisocial behavior, acute shyness or sensitivity, negative perceptions, and more severe forms, such as paranoia or schizophrenia. Personality Disorders, Second Edition defines and explains these behavioral patterns, which are organized into three types, or clusters, the social and medical issues related to them, and how doctors can treat them.

Actors, directors, singers, designers. From Michelangelo Antonioni to Steven Spielberg. From Valeria Golino to Penelope Cruz, to name a few examples. What’s beyond their gaze and beyond the photographer’s vision? Each image represent a memory, an emotion, an anecdote. Each photo in the book comes with a small, great story expressing shyness, trust, unexpected situations or lucky shots taken on sets that were sometimes friendly, sometimes incredibles. In the constant search for the next shot, because taking photos is how to collect picture cards: “You always miss one”. And always with a fundamental goal: seizing the subject in its best shape, so that it can really identify itself in the image and enjoy it. It’s not about being superficial. It is just being the opposite: a deed of deep love for those who rely on the photographer’s eye to see themselves.

When the two men meet, their chemistry is explosive, but Rex fears Daniel will be another in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in can be a fatal weakness.

And never mind keeping to his comfort zone.So, in yet another, radical evolution, he became a mountaineer and explorer, following in the footsteps of great masters of the past, from Bonatti to Messner. His focus shifted to the many aspects of mountaineering, from traditional climbing to long routes, from ice climbing to expeditions, including some memorable challenges at La Reunion, in Siberia and the States (El Capitan, California).The story of an athlete meant not just for mountain buffs but for all readers, not least young adults, who will identify with Jacopo’s fears and enthusiasms, his shyness and determination, his courage in starting over again when he realized that rock gyms were not enough anymore, and stepped outside to explore the world.

And they are quick, but not out of fear, but because they are courageous. After this has finally been stated openly, the next step comes almost automatically: Children with characteristics similar to those of rabbits are to be awarded the honorary title "Brave Rabbit" from now on.
