        by Sergio Bambaren

        Abbandonato il mare e approdato ai temibili scogli dell'esistenza, Bambarén rinasce e chiama i suoi numerosi lettori a fare altrettanto, forti di una saggezza spicciola, ben piantata a terra, alla quale basta accordare solo un po' di fiducia perché torni a scorrere in lei nuova linfa. Proprio come accade a certe piante del deserto che, incurvate a gomitolo per l'inclemenza e la siccità ambientali, sono pronte a far tesoro delle poche gocce d'acqua disponibili per rifiorire in un modo che ha del miracoloso. Dopo aver "toccato il fondo" si può infatti tornare ad assaporare l'esistenza, un giorno alla volta, affilando la volontà sulla pietra dei valori umani universali, condividendo un metodo con cui ottenere ciò che si vuole.

        Profesorado reflexivo e investigador

        Propuestas y experiencias formativas

        by Àngels (Ed.) Domingo Roget

        Este libro se propone eliminar las barreras que la tradición académica ha construido lentamente, a lo largo del tiempo, entre dos actividades que en realidad son inseparables: la docencia y la investigación.Es en las aulas donde maestros y profesores llevan a cabo su función docente y educadora y donde afrontan grandes interrogantes, problemas y situaciones que precisan investigarse: las aulas son actualmente los laboratorios de investigación educativa. Por ello, en el perfil del profesorado deberían estar intrínsecamente enlazadas las habilidades investigadoras y las habilidades docentes que configuran al profesor-investigador.El libro plantea la urgente necesidad de aproximar la investigación educativa a la problemática real de las aulas y para ello propone que sea el mismo docente, como docente-investigador quien actúe a modo de puente que facilita el camino y acorta la distancia entre enseñar e investigar.A partir del pensamiento de Donald Schön, quien considera al docente como un investigador en contexto práctico, esta obra coral invita a avanzar en la consolidación de una nueva cultura docente basada en la indagación. El aula es el escenario donde surgen las grandes hipótesis y las tesis que precisan ser resueltas para mejorar los procesos de aprendizaje.El libro no plantea una ilusión utópica; propone y muestra cómo, desde la formación inicial, cualquier educador puede adquirir las habilidades necesarias para investigar su actividad docente, como medio de mejora permanente de la práctica profesional.

        by Claudio Forti

        Una luce penetrante. Un uomo confuso recuperato dalla polizia. E tante, troppe cornacchie.  Norman Barclay è un dirigente di successo, uso a tutti gli agi di New York, ma da quattro anni non dorme più. Le sue notti sono devastate dal ricordo ancora vivido di quella luce e alleviate solo dalle inebrianti prostitute di Madame Trilly. L’improbabile equilibrio è rotto da un uomo grigio e misterioso: John Smith. Così anonimo da non lasciare alcuna traccia di sé, se non un enigmatico biglietto da visita: ‘Professor Jeremy Kalwinsky, psicopatologo della memoria’.  Sarà un secondo biglietto, lascito di una coinvolgente notte d’amore, a spingere Norman a cercare l’aiuto di Kalwinsky per sbarazzarsi dei ricordi che lo tormentano. Insieme al sollievo dell’oblio arriverà però una inattesa discesa negli inferi dei dimenticati. Qui Barclay scoprirà una grigia verità ben più inquietante dei ricordi...

        Teologia dell’ospitalità

        by Marco, Dal Corso (ed.)

        A hospitable practice needs hospitable thinking and a way of believing. If, before being a right, existing is a debt that is extinguished only by becoming hospitable people, theology is called to favour coexistence among people by overcoming even its own self-understanding, when this is an obstacle to dialogue, helping to live this great change, and learning to welcome the spiritual riches that are for all. This, to the point of making a public contribution at the service of human and spiritual growth of humanity. A research of great value for a hospitable belief, which gives a theological foundation to a new paradigm of welcome and which opens up concrete perspectives for the indispensable interreligious dialogue.

        The Heart of Cocoa

        500 Years of Chocolate History

        by Napoleone Neri

        The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
