San Pedro, Los Angeles. Young and smart, Alex Anderson is in full swing to be elected again in the Congress of the United States of America. In the last days, however, something begins to upset him. It is a unresolved part of his past, that Alex has brought with him every single day of his life. Its name is Maggie Jones. Certainly, for him she was still "little Maggie", his best friend that one day could have become the love of a lifetime, but about whom he had no news since 1986. One morning, during a meeting in his office in Washington, Alex gets a phone call. It's her. Out of the blue, his life is literally swallowed up by someone who begins to hunt him; it's Chuck Dillinger, former CIA agent who hit the headlines for having released dozens of top secret documents and serious details about NSA activity, starting in this way the scandal that the press renamed as Datagate. Social networks, mobile phones, credit cards: according to Dillinger, we are all intercepted. Why Alex Anderson? As Arianna Huffington explains in her article, Alex is part of the secret society most known in America and, perhaps, all over the world: Skull and Bones. A family tradition, since his father Ron and his grandfather Philip are its founders, just like Bushes. This would make him the predestined, chosen by his leader group as the next Republican candidate for the White House. Thus, in the crazy plan of Dillinger, Anderson becomes the connecting link with the system to subvert and overthrow. Along with Matt Payne, his friend a little bit crazy, and with Veronica Hayes, journalist for Los Angeles Times, met a few hours before aboard a plane, Alex begins a full-fledged race against time that will see him fighting, besides for his life, also and especially to foil an attack against the heart of democracy. After the murder of the FBI Inspector Carl Nowitzki, who in a few hours was supposed to meet Alex to give important news on the case, the command of the operation goes to Frank Da Silva, Head of the counter-terrorism division of the National Security Branch. The mysterious rites of Skull and Bones inside the Tomb and at Deer Island, chases, betrayals, gunfights and the spark of love that, like a bolt from the blue, inflames Alex and Veronica's hearts. The Predestined is a path of three hundred pages, dotted with a succession of twists and on the background of a real showdown among some segments of the intricate world of intelligence and of international espionage. A compelling story beyond all expectations, that will surprise you, will take you by the hand and drag you away until you discover the terrible secret behind the mysterious Maggie Jones. Our journey with Alex, Veronica and Matt is about to begin. And you, are you ready to save the World?
Few know Donald Trump better than Alessandro Nardone. In 2016, when he ran for the White House as Alex Anderson, he made headlines around the world. As U.S. correspondent for Vanity Fair, he was at key events and at the presidential inauguration. One of the few to predict Trump's victory, he has spoken about Trump at major marketing events, written more than 200 articles and interviewed his former chief strategist Steve Bannon. He's the author of "Trump, Alex and me" and the novel "The Predestined 2," which features Anderson as Trump's vice president. The New York tycoon is the most misrepresented leader in modern history: with "Never Surrender", Nardone aims to introduce the public to the real Donald Trump before the 2024 presidential election.
Negli ultimi mesi in molti hanno parlato del "ciclone Trump", ma in pochi hanno dimostrato di averci capito qualcosa. Alessandro Nardone è conosciuto in tutto il mondo come Alex Anderson, ovvero l'alter ego che lui stesso ha inventato per candidarsi alle primarie repubblicane sfidando proprio lui, Donald Trump: un anno in cui, ogni notte, dismetteva i panni di Alessandro e indossava quelli di Alex, giovane Congressman californiano capace di conquistarsi un seguito di quasi 30.000 followers su Twitter. Un'esperienza "sul campo" senza pari, per questo Vanity Fair ha scelto Alessandro Nardone come inviato per la Convention Repubblicana di Cleveland, agli eventi più importanti di Hillary Clinton a Philadelphia e New York, e alla cerimonia d'insediamento di Donald Trump, il 20 gennaio a Washington. Un vero e proprio tour, da cui sono nati un videoreportage pubblicato dal Corriere della Sera e "Io, Alex e Trump", una raccolta di 18 articoli di Alessandro arricchiti da un'analisi sulla comunicazione di Trump scritta dal coach e formatore Francesco Fabiano. "Io, Alex e Trump", la vittoria di Donald Trump raccontata da chi la conosce come nessun altro. Versione in lingua inglese.
The Strategic Dialogue is a fine strategy by which one can achieve maximum results with minimum effort. It was developed through a natural evolutionary process from previous treatments for particular pathologies, and composed of therapeutic stratagems and specific sequences of ad hoc maneuvres constructed for different types of problems. This book represents both the starting and finishing line of all of the research, clinical practice, and managerial consulting performed by the authors over a fifteen year period at the Centro Terapia Strategica of Arezzo (Strategic Therapy Center). This work can be referred to as the finishing line because the Strategic Dialogue, an advanced therapeutic method of conducting a therapy session and inducing radical changes rapidly in the patient, represents the culmination of all that has been achieved so far in the field.
Since its development toward the end of the past millennium, high-resolution Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (IXS) has substantially improved our knowledge of the collective dynamics of liquids at mesoscopic scales, that is, over distances and time-lapses approaching those typical of first neighboring atoms' interactions. However, despite the undoubted scientific relevance and the rapid evolution toward maturity, comprehensive monographs on this technique are not available. The primary purpose of this book is to partially fill this lack while providing a helpful reference for both mature scientists and less experienced researchers in the field.After a general introduction to the fundamental aspects of scattering measurements, the IXS cross-section is analytically derived, and the complementarity with Inelastic Neutron Scattering is discussed in detail.The remainder of the book reviews representative IXS studies on simple fluids focusing on topics as relevant as the dynamic crossover from the hydrodynamic to the kinetic regime, the onset of relaxation phenomena and related high-frequency viscoelasticity, the gradual emergence of quantum effects, the evidence of dynamic boundaries partitioning the supercritical domain, the prevalence of solid-like aspects in the high-frequency dynamics of fluids, and the dynamic fingerprints of the polymorphic nature of liquid aggregates.
The book looks into the recent advances in the ex-situ production routes and properties of aluminum and magnesium based metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs), produced either by liquid or semi-solid state methods. It comprehensively summarizes work done in the last 10 years including the mechanical properties of different matrix/nanoreinforcement systems. The book also addresses future research direction, steps taken and missing developments to achieve the full industrial exploitation of such composites. The content of the book appeals to researchers and industrial practitioners in the area of materials development for metal matrix nanocomposites and its applications.
The book Health and Ethics stems from the need to divulge the knowledge and emotions shared by students and professors during the first lessons of Moral Philosophy, led by Professors Pacifici Noja and Boccanelli. A spontaneous bond which had arisen amongst the two counterparts, led to an innovative model of creative interaction. The students, divided into 17 groups, had to choose among different themes suggested by the professors, according to their preferences and personal interests. The themes range among many fields, but they have one purpose in common: highlighting and studying the different relationships bonded between the physician and the patient. Therefore, the book was designed to be an important resource for the comprehension and the understanding of both the difficulties and the duties a physician needs to face, but also of the satisfaction and happiness which can arise from them.
The structure of the book is designed to provide a comprehensive exploration of the principles of neuromarketing and their application to the wine production industry in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Overall, the structure of the book is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the principles of neuromarketing and their application to the wine industry, with a particular emphasis on the role of color in consumer decision-making processes

Tutti ne parlano, ma nessuno dice tutto. Quella in atto, è la rivoluzione più veloce e incisiva: si sviluppa nella Rete, ma comunicazione e informazione condizionano il mondo reale, determinando il corso delle nostre esistenze. 70 anni fa, con “1984”, George Orwell preconizzò quanto accaduto; oggi, con questo volume, Alessandro Nardone spiega come governare i potenti mezzi a nostra disposizione, per diventare protagonisti del nostro tempo. Un libro alla portata di tutti, per ripercorrere dagli esordi la Rivoluzione Digitale con un’intervista a Ted Dabney, cofondatore di Atari; l'intervento del “padre” di Dagospia, Roberto D'Agostino e prefazione di Gianni Di Giovanni, presidente di Eni Usa. Dai primi videogiochi, che hanno portato l'informatica nelle case di milioni di persone, alle “rivoluzioni” di Steve Jobs, Bill Gates e Gianroberto Casaleggio, passando per la grande questione della privacy sollevata da Edward Snowden, fino ai mezzi concreti attraverso cui ottimizzare da subito la presenza sul Web, personale e aziendale. “Orwell” è la vision per distinguervi dalla massa nel costruire e valorizzare il vostro brand, partendo dalla qualità dei contenuti. Contiene il “Glossario del Digital”.
