Описание: A study of the Macchi Folgore and Veltro, the most successful Italian fighters in World War II. With specially commissioned profiles, the book examines how these fighters were conceived, their performance and the fascinating stories of their pilots. Italian fighters, such as the Fiat G.50 and Macchi C.200, had always struggled with their straight-line speed and restricted armament when engaging their Allied counterparts.
To solve these problems, Macchi initially designed the C.202 Folgore using German engines, which contributed to create a faster aircraft, with a superior rate of climb and reachable altitude. Folgore's success in various North African engagements then paved the way for the development of Macchi's most successful fighter, the C.205V Veltro, which managed to combine increased speed and increased power. Packed with specially commissioned artwork and original photos, and written by Italian military aviation specialist Marco Mattioli, this fascinating book explores how the premier Italian fighter of the war came to life and the historical circumstances that prevented it from becoming one of the most dreaded aircraft in the Mediterranean.

Автор: Mattioli, Marco Название: Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero Bomber Units ISBN: 1472818830 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781472818836 Издательство: Osprey Рейтинг: Цена: 16820.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Initially developed by Savoia-Marchetti as a transport, the aircraft had evolved into a dedicated medium bomber by the time the S.79-I made its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. During World War 2, it became Italy's most successful bomber, and the most produced, with around 1370 built between 1936 and early 1944. Although initially hampered by poor tactics, the S.79 bomber crews nonetheless scored sunk a number of Allied vessels, and provided a constant threat to Allied sailors in the Mediterranean in the early stages of the war.
In East Africa and the Red Sea the Sparvieri were the most modern bombers in-theatre, proving a challenge to RAF and SAAF biplane fighters. Using specially commissioned full-colour artwork, first-hand accounts and historic photographs, this volume chronicles the history of the S.79's war in the Mediterranean, North African, Balkan, and East African theatres.
Dark Finance offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of financial expansion and its political impacts in Eastern Europe. Following workers, managers, and investors in the Macedonian construction sector, Fabio Mattioli shows how financialization can empower authoritarian regimes--not by making money accessible to everyone, but by allowing a small group of oligarchs to monopolize access to international credit and promote a cascade of exploitative domestic debt relations.
The landscape of failed deals and unrealizable dreams that is captured in this book portrays finance not as a singular, technical process. Instead, Matttioli argues that finance is a set of political and economic relations that entangles citizens, Eurocrats, and workers in tense paradoxes. Mattioli traces the origins of illiquidity in the reorganization of the European project and the postsocialist perversion of socialist financial practices--a dangerous mix that hid the Macedonian regime's weakness behind a fa ade of urban renewal and, for a decade, made it seem omnipresent and invincible. Dark Finance chronicles how, one bad deal at a time, Macedonia's authoritarian regime rode a wave of financial expansion that deepened its reach into Macedonian society, only to discover that its domination, like all speculative bubbles, was teetering on the verge of collapse.

HOW DO YOU FACE CHANGES?
What if you suddenly had to move from a place to another because of your job? Maybe you wouldn't like it.
What if, instead, one day you got a notice that would put under question your whole life? Don't you think that you'd be going through a shock?
Because of a notice, indeed, Leopoldo Canapone's life...
Got upside down
Before it all happened, he was a dreamer.
He was a young boy, and acting was his passion. He shared it with his friend "Pumpkin," a childhood friend with whom he grew up with. They lived on the same landing and studied acting in the same theater. But then, a surprise nobody was expecting and couldn't define messed their plans up.
In a very short time, their lives totally changed.
Life's not always monotone They grew up, changed, and lost each other.
Each one of us, sooner or later, will find himself facing something new, a new beginning or experience. Who says we'll necessarily enjoy it?
In Canappa, as the colleagues called it, an opportunity showed up. Leonardo didn't ever want to catch it, but it gave him the possibility to start over, despite the usual injustices and improprieties that newbies have to deal with, when entering the working environment.
Yes, it happened... eventually. Leopoldo Canapone and his friend Pumpkin ended up in the clutches of the Adult World, an event that they had always tried to delay.
You'll know that in our society, it's very hard to find a job, it might even be impossible; that's why those two dreamers would have never thought that some common employment applications sent by chance could have been approved.
This is how they started working in two different branches of a Supermarket, dealing with a new environment and leaving their biggest dream behind, thinking about leaving some space for the life everyone wanted them to live.
Dreams are expensive, and sometimes this is why we neglect them, without knowing they could have come true, with a little fight.

Leopoldo Canapones' adventures can be inspiring, a new way to understand better who you are and the world surrounding you. Cast and Customers - Working in a Supermarket will give you the chance to live in the first person, but not personally, uncomfortable and fun situations, from which you'll eventually learn something.

That life defined by many to be for "failures." Would you feel depressed?
A lonelyand confusing life, with the job that you hate and a cruel, egoist, and harshdirector that doesn't help with your situation... how would you feel? A difficult and unfavorable life from your perspective. A life like that of Leopoldo Canapone's...
Leopoldo Canapone is a cashier in a supermarket inside a mall; he's a listless, unsociable and nihilistic man, dependent on his many disciplinary marks.
A sales worker that has a certain age, so he doesn't want to show any emotion and decides to stick to a bizarre fight against consumerism.
Canappa, every day, tries to persuade and terrorize costumers by talking about the bad quality of the products, with the objective of keeping them from coming back and buying in that place.
This is the only thing that he finds fun and interesting about his monotone job inside that miserable place that is the mall, where the public only makes you feel lonelier, and where repetitivenessand submission to your boss are daily things.
Sometimes, even a dark place can lead you to think that people only exist as consumerists. What a horrible thought
Leopoldo Canapone is a person that, for survival reasons, bears his job that he does not love, where he's underpaid andtaken advantage of.
Leopoldo had entirely different plans for his life; still, he's in conditions he would have never thought he would one day be in.
Leopoldo Canapone, in this book, narrates his workdays, alternating between injustice and some happy moments.
In fourteen chapters, you'll be able to live the life of this man that surrendered to this egoistic world, who takes his life just as it is. Leopoldo Canapone yielded to his destiny.
He has also fought for ideals in the past, but he noticed that his friends were slowly changing, dying, or turning his back on him: he was left alone.
By immerging yourself in this book, you will reflect on the fundamental aspects of life and understand what decisions to make that are right for you.
My friend, there are two types of people in this world. There are those who say: "I didn't ask to be born, nobody consulted me and I take everything as it is";and then there are others that say: "I'm here, I was born, I want to be myself and take what I want in spite of everything."
What analysis do you give?
Which of the two do you identify yourself with?
After reading All You Need Is Shopping - Lost in the Mall, I challenge you to find the strength to fight for the things that you lovewithout being influenced by what others think

Developments in neuroscience are turning sci-fi scenarios into reality, and causing us to revisit some of the philosophical questions we have been asking ourselves for centuries.
Science fiction often takes its inspiration from the latest science . . . and our oldest questions. After all, the two are inextricably linked. At a time when advances in artificial intelligence are genuinely leading us closer to a computer that thinks like a human, we can't help but wonder: What makes a person a person?
Countless writers and filmmakers have created futuristic scenarios to explore this issue and others like it. But these scenarios may not be so futuristic after all.
In the movie Inception, a group of conspirators implants false memories; in Until the End of the World, a mad scientist is able to read dreams; in 2001: A Space Odyssey, a supercomputer feels and thinks like a person. And in recent years, the achievements described in leading scientific journals have included some that might sound familiar: implanting memories using optogenetics, reading the mind during sleep thanks to advanced decoding algorithms, and creating a computer that uses deep neural networks to surpass the abilities of human thought.
In NeuroScience Fiction, neuroscientist and author Rodrigo Quiroga reveals the futuristic present we are living in, showing how the far-out premises of 10 seminal science fiction movies are being made possible by discoveries happening right now, on the cutting edge of neuroscience. He also explores the thorny philosophical problems raised as a result, diving into Minority Report and free will, The Matrix and the illusion of reality, Blade Runner and android emotion, and more.
A heady mix of science fiction, neuroscience, and philosophy, NeuroScience Fiction takes us from Vanilla Sky to neural research labs, and from Planet of the Apes to what makes us human. This is a book you'll be thinking about long after the last page--and once you've read it, you'll never watch a sci-fi blockbuster the same way again.

The need for a deep decarbonization of the energy sector and the associated opportunities are now increasingly recognized, with fossil fuel projects simultaneously becoming more risky business propositions. With large-scale wind and solar generation now being the cheapest options in many parts of the world, a deeply renewable electricity sector is predestined to become the main driver of this transition. Yet, misconceptions abound. In part, this can be traced back to the complexity of the electricity sector and the processes involved in its transformation, located at the intersection between grid design and operation, markets and regulations.
This book is intended to provide some clarity in this matter, by taking the reader from the conceptual foundations of a deeply decarbonized electricity sector in Part 1 to new strategies for the renewable energy transition in Part 3. Insights into essential building blocks are provided in Part 2 where the role of transmission, distributed generation, smart grids, demand response, storage, and forecasting are covered in some detail. The synthesis Part 3 explores the connections between the mobility and electricity sectors, the design of renewable economies, and possible roadmaps for a world-wide transition to a deeply decarbonized economy.
While striving to be technically rigorous, this book is also meant as an entertaining and inspiring read for researchers and advanced students, experts with the electric power industry, and decision makers in politics, industry and finance.
