LA ESTRELLA PERDIDA (Segundo libro de la trilogÌ_a EL PAPIRO).

By: Diego Fortunato

Sinopsis ¡REVELADORA!... ¡ÚNICA E IRREPETIBLE!... Un grupo de arqueólogos descubren en unos viejos papiros el misterio de La Vera Cruz, la cruz de la crucifixión de Cristo. Los escritos revelaban que los esenios, hermandad de la que formaba parte Jesucristo, la habían llevado y escondido en la cima del enigmático Kukenán, el llamado Tepuy de los Muertos, en la Gran Sabana, al sureste de Venezuela. Divor Klaus, un avezado antropólogo y aventurero, parte a buscarla porque los pergaminos revelaban que la cruz se materializaría a las tres de la tarde del Domingo de Resurrección de ese año. La Santa Sede, apoyada por los Dei Pax, una banda de sicarios al servicio de la Iglesia, va tras su pista, pero se topa con un místico secreto: el nacimiento en la tierra de los Nion, una especie de niños ángeles con poderes celestiales. Intrigas y confabulaciones se apoderan del Vaticano y sus más altos prelados hasta que el día señalado deviene la alineación del Triángulo Divino, acontecimiento que devela nuevas y tenebrosas profecías para la humanidad. Cuadro de la portada: En el año del silencio, de Diego Fortunato (Serie Horizontes Perdidos, 1991).-

Maradona

The Autobiography of Soccer's Greatest and Most Controversial Star

By: Diego Armando Maradona

Argentina history book about the controversial Diego Maradona A soccer biography for kids Follows the author’s journey from childhood to 1994 “Sometimes I think that my whole life is on film, that my whole life is in print. But it’s not like that. There are things which are only in my heart—that no one knows. At last I have decided to tell everything.” —Diego Maradona Diego Maradona went from a poor boy in a Buenos Aires shanty town to a genius with the soccer ball. He kicked his way to the top of South American, European, and world soccer, but his battles with the many pressures of life inside and outside the game consistently threatened to tear his legend and his spirit down. He is one of many famous soccer players, but one of only a few to write their own soccer autobiography. Villain or hero, one thing about Maradona is clear: he was the best soccer player of his generation and possibly of all time. He has never shared his remarkable story in his own words—until this autobiography. From his poverty-stricken origins to his greatest successes on the field, Maradona remembers, with frankness and insight, the most impactful moments of his life. These include the pressures of being a child prodigy, the infamous semi-final game against England in the 1986 World Cup, an amazing turn-around and the dream-turned-sour at Napoli, and the disgrace and shame of his positive drug test at USA 1994. In this brutally honest autobiography, readers glimpse the inner thoughts of one of the most controversial, talented, and complex professional athletes of the times. He was a man divided between the demands of his corporate club bosses, the media, the fans, and his own tempestuous personal life. With a new epilogue that updates Maradona’s amazing story and includes over 80 delightful photographs, Maradona is a confessional, a revelation, an apology, and a celebration.

Planting a City in the Tropical Andes

Plants and People in Bogotá, 1880 to 1920

By: Diego Molina

This book reveals how the 19th Century modernisation of Bogotá led to a transformation in the social role of plants – showing how this city located in the high altitudes of the tropical Andes turned into a ‘floristic island’ formed by native, introduce, wild and cultivated plants. Urbanisation is one of the main forces behind biodiversity loss. Paradoxically, the expansion of cities has made urban environment spaces with a greater numbers of plant species compared to their surrounding areas. Planting a City in the Tropical Andes takes a multidisciplinary approach to shed light on the cultural and ecological mechanisms that have transformed modern cities into what can be described as ‘floristic islands’. By drawing upon a wide array of historical sources, this book explains how the 19th-century modernization of Bogotá (Colombia), led to the replacement of traditional botanical practices with technical knowledge, which in turn endowed the city with a unique floristic inventory. Through a unique botanical perspective on Latin American urban history, this book uncovers how capitalist dynamics in Bogotá transformed plants into providers of clean air and water and their use in the urban landscape contributed to the cultivation of disciplined citizenry. Placing plants at the forefront of its narrative, the book offers an original contribution to the underexplored history of horticulture in tropical Latin America. It serves as a compelling example of how the creative and conflicting forces of the Anthropocene have forged new environments and previously unseen relationships between people and plants. This volume will be of great use to scholars and students interested in social history, urban environmental histories and cultural history.

Kansas City 1927. Anno II

By: Diego Bianchi,Simone Conte

Un altro anno è passato. La Revolución complicata della stagione firmata Luis Enrique è ormai solo un ricordo. Dopo un’annata esaltante al Pescara, alla Roma arriva Zeman, garanzia di bel calcio e tanti gol. I tifosi tornano allo stadio con rinnovato entusiasmo, e insieme a loro torna Kansas City 1927, il fenomeno calcistico del web italiano, a raccontarci le avventure della squadra della Capitale. Diego Bianchi e Simone Conte descrivono nel loro inimitabile romanesco i volti nuovi schierati dal tecnico boemo, il gioco offensivo, le prime vittorie, la difesa ballerina, e poi le tremende sconfitte e l’inevitabile esonero, con annessa disgregazione del sogno zemaniano. Ma questi cupi risvolti non deprimono gli autori, che continuano «l’autoterapia di gruppo» anche durante la gestione del traghettatore Andreazzoli. Il risultato è un secondo volume più irresistibile del primo, impreziosito dalle tavole inedite di Zerocalcare, ricco di citazioni colte e forte di una lingua variopinta e poetica, che mescola una prosa gaddiana con una comicità alla Alberto Sordi. E anche se la Roma rimane invischiata in una transizione senza fine, Kansas City 1927 non si sottrae dal raccontare un campionato più difficile del previsto, in attesa di tempi migliori.

Maximum-Entropy Networks

Pattern Detection, Network Reconstruction and Graph Combinatorics

By: Tiziano Squartini,Diego Garlaschelli

This book is an introduction to maximum-entropy models of random graphs with given topological properties and their applications. Its original contribution is the reformulation of many seemingly different problems in the study of both real networks and graph theory within the unified framework of maximum entropy. Particular emphasis is put on the detection of structural patterns in real networks, on the reconstruction of the properties of networks from partial information, and on the enumeration and sampling of graphs with given properties. After a first introductory chapter explaining the motivation, focus, aim and message of the book, chapter 2 introduces the formal construction of maximum-entropy ensembles of graphs with local topological constraints. Chapter 3 focuses on the problem of pattern detection in real networks and provides a powerful way to disentangle nontrivial higher-order structural features from those that can be traced back to simpler local constraints. Chapter 4 focuses on the problem of network reconstruction and introduces various advanced techniques to reliably infer the topology of a network from partial local information. Chapter 5 is devoted to the reformulation of certain “hard” combinatorial operations, such as the enumeration and unbiased sampling of graphs with given constraints, within a “softened” maximum-entropy framework. A final chapter offers various overarching remarks and take-home messages.By requiring no prior knowledge of network theory, the book targets a broad audience ranging from PhD students approaching these topics for the first time to senior researchers interested in the application of advanced network techniques to their field.

The Art of Power

Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and the Making of Aesthetic Political Theory

By: Diego A. Von Vacano

The Art of Power is a challenge to traditional political theory. Diego A. von Vacano examines the work of Machiavelli, arguing that he establishes a new, aesthetic perspective on political life. He then proceeds to carry out the most extensive analysis to date of an important relationship in political theory: that between the thought of Machiavelli and Friedrich Nietzsche. Arguing that these two theorists have similar aims and perspectives, this work uncovers the implications of their common way of looking at the human condition and political practice to elucidate the phenomenon of the persistence of aesthetic, sensory cognition as fundamental to the human experience, particularly to the political life. By exploring this relationship, The Art of Power makes a significant contribution to the growing interest in the intersection of aesthetic theory and political philosophy as well as in interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives on political theory.

Le pergamene di Ankor

By: Diego Collaveri

Nell'era della dittatura del feroce Xalatron l’ultima speranza dei ribelli è l’avvento di un leggendario guerriero, profetizzato dalle pergamene ritrovate sul sacro monte Ankor. Per annientarne questo credo, il tiranno invia la figliastra Maril, un’orfana che ha cresciuto nel sangue per farne un invincibile combattente senz’anima, conosciuto come la morte dagli occhi di ghiaccio. Dovrà raggiungere in incognito lo sperduto monastero di Tinien, fonte del culto, per scoprirne i segreti e distruggerlo. Nel viaggio però la ragazza incontrerà qualcuno capace di incrinare la gelida crudeltà che l’avvolge, fino a far riaffiorare il suo vero io; ma è davvero il compiersi della misteriosa profezia o un oscuro piano ordito dalla nera mano dello spietato patrigno?
