In their nineties and married for sixty-nine years, Mam and Chase have had an incredible life, full of love, laughter, and family, and enjoyed an almost magical bond that has helped get them through all the various tragedies and traumas that have befallen them over the years. While Mam raised five mischievous children, Chase’s absence when he was on tour took a toll on their relationship. Kidnapping threats only added to the strain for the whole family, and Mam had to find new ways to cope with her feelings. But no matter what happened, the family’s love never wavered. In this, the final book of The Band 4 trilogy, Mam and Chase―along with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren―look back at their lives, revisiting memories both joyful and devastating, and uncovering truths long buried, as they come to terms with the fact that their unbelievable lives are finally, inevitably, nearing their end.
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.
In 1993 the authors published The Art of Change: Strategic Therapy and Hypnotherapy Without Trance, a revolutionary work that introduced a series of effective clinical strategies to create therapeutic change, even in seemingly impossible cases. In his new book, the author performs another quantum leap, leading his readers to a more operative knowledge of the precise logic of therapeutic change. Most intimidating mental disorders are based on perceptions of reality that when using an ordinary 'common-sense' logic as our reading lens, look as if they are irrational, bizarre, illogical and therefore hard to understand and manage.

This important new book details a strategic and systemic model for short-term therapy with adolescent sufferers of anorexia nervosa, a psychopathology that seduces patients into starvation as doctors and family look on with increasing desperation. Supported by the successful treatment of hundreds of cases over the past 30 years, the book is the culmination of a long-term intervention programme developed at the Strategic Therapy Centre of Arezzo, Italy. It begins by outlining the range of different eating disorders, before identifying the specific characteristics that adolescents with anorexia present. The variations of the pathology are then discussed. Not all patients present with the same symptoms; some sufferers over-exercise while others binge eat or self-harm. Substance abuse is also common, either with diuretics or chemicals; others self-induce vomiting. The therapeutic strategy will, of course, differ for each patient. Accessibly written throughout, the book concludes with two cases studies – complete with full transcripts – which illustrate the therapeutic process that allowed the patient to change their patterns of thinking, and the accompanying behaviours. An insightful and invaluable work on this vital topic, the book will be essential reading for any professional working with adolescents presenting with anorexia, as well as the families of sufferers.

For decades, Ed Meehan was the most popular singer/songwriter on the planet. Every woman thought his songs were written for them alone. But it wasn’t just women who were drawn to his music. His words reached everyone in one way or another. There was something special about him that people picked up on and no one knew what it was. With one exception: Chase Martin, of the Band 4. More like a brother than a friend, Chase alone knew that when Ed was just a young man, he had fallen in love with an older woman, who survived a terminal illness just long enough for them to find each other, fall in love, and be married. Chase Martin and his bandmates, as well as their wives and children, had adopted Ed as one of their own. With them, he knew the joys and comforts of family, but his heart would always belong to his late wife. With her on the other side―waiting for him―Ed and Chase were the only ones who knew about the pact the couple had made, to meet again in their next lives. His adopted family knew love. They were practically the embodiment of it, having a very special connection to one another that Ed laughingly referred to as “spooky”. It was only after decades had passed that their family would be asked to put that connection to good use, reuniting their beloved friend with his long lost love―the woman for whom all his songs were truly written. But was such a thing even possible?
The 2013 annual conference of the Italian Society of Agricultural Economics (SIDEA) has been held in the attractive scenario of the city of Lecce under the organization of three different Universities of the Apulia Region (Università degli Studi di Bari, Università degli Studi di Foggia and Università del Salento). The scientific theme of the 50th SIDEA Conference has been “Sustainability of the agri-food system: Strategies and Performances” (Sostenibilità del Sistema Agroalimentare: strategie e performance). With such a topic, the SIDEA intended to cope with the challenges coming from a growing demand of food in a world where critical natural resources such as water, energy and land are becoming increasingly scarce and climate change is posing credible threats. The agri-food system and the broader bio-based economy are, in fact, human activities where the classic dimensions of sustainability (ecological, economic and social) are gaining a striking weight often showing evidence of frictions. Despite a significant growth in food production over the past century, today one of the most important challenges facing agro-food system is how to feed a growing population.
The founding editor of Every Day with Rachael Ray reinvents America's favorite dishes for a gluten- and dairy-free world -- no compromises to flavor or texture accepted. "The fact that everything she makes is gluten-free is astonishing." --Food & Wine When doctors diagnosed Silvana Nardone's son with intolerances to gluten and dairy, she embarked on a quest to develop dishes for the toughest critics of all: her kids. To do so, she drew on her experience as a professional baker and her work in magazine test kitchens. She deciphered labels and tested obsessively. The result: dishes that taste exactly like their supermarket, bakery, and take-out counterparts, from Cinnamon-Swirl Pancakes to Crispy Chicken Taquitos to Baked Ham-and-Cheese Manicotti. Every mom on the block will want the recipes for her high-rising, light sandwich loaf, deep-dish pizza, and chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream sandwiches. Silvana shares every last secret she has learned over the years from her formulations of gluten-free all-purpose flour; pancake, waffle, and biscuit mix; homemade and rich-tasting nondairy substitutes for milk, yogurt, and ricotta; and other essentials that are key to making the best food possible.

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.
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.

This book puts forward a complete picture of Brief Strategic Therapy while defining the theoretical and practical features that distinguish this method from other psychotherapies. The authors present a comprehensive explanation of non-ordinary Mathematical Logic, which underlies brief strategic therapy techniques, to reveal how apparently simple techniques come to solve complex, seemly untreatable problems. This book provides the reader with a detailed description of the techniques applied throughout the treatment, and also explains the strategies, tactics, and techniques employed in reframing people's perceptions, behavior and opinions. This rigorous work is one of Nardone's most important and creative contributions to the evolution of Brief Therapy. It presents the advanced techniques set up for specific pathologies through long-term experimental-empirical research carried out at the Centro di Terapia Strategica of Arezzo, Italy. Case studies are introduced for a better understanding of this approach, followed by a thorough evaluation of the results obtained through on-going experimental-empirical research.
