What if

What if

Autore: Luca Roncoroni

Numero di pagine: 176

Periferia americana, playground, una palla e un canestro. Lo spacciatore di quartiere appostato all’angolo, i soldi delle scommesse e un ragazzo con troppo talento per non farcela. Potrebbe essere l’ennesima parabola sportiva di successo. Ma per ogni Michael Jordan c’è un Earl Manigault, il più grande di sempre a non aver mai giocato un singolo minuto nella NBA. Perché a volte il solo talento non basta, e un enorme dono può diventare la più grande maledizione. Toccare letteralmente il cielo con un dito e poi cadere giù, più in basso di tutti. E alla fine restano i rimpianti, con un unico pensiero in testa: cosa sarebbe successo se...? Ma forse anche nel fallimento può restare un barlume: gli sbagli di alcuni possono insegnare ad altri, e a volte anche chi è caduto riesce a trovare la forza per rialzarsi. Ecco le storie di Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady, Lamar Odom, Gilbert Arenas, Derrick Rose e altri grandi talenti perduti della pallacanestro americana, in un’antologia sportiva dell’errore. Luca Roncoroni si muove attraverso le vite di questi giocatori alla ricerca della luce nascosta da un destino beffardo e spietato, e getta il suo sguardo partecipe sul lato...

Simulation and Learning

Simulation and Learning

Autore: Franco Landriscina

Numero di pagine: 236

The main idea of this book is that to comprehend the instructional potential of simulation and to design effective simulation-based learning environments, one has to consider both what happens inside the computer and inside the students' minds. The framework adopted to do this is model-centered learning, in which simulation is seen as particularly effective when learning requires a restructuring of the individual mental models of the students, as in conceptual change. Mental models are by themeselves simulations, and thus simulation models can extend our biological capacity to carry out simulative reasoning. For this reason, recent approaches in cognitive science like embodied cognition and the extended mind hypothesis are also considered in the book.. A conceptual model called the “epistemic simulation cycle” is proposed as a blueprint for the comprehension of the cognitive activies involved in simulation-based learning and for instructional design.

This Business of Living

This Business of Living

Autore: Cesare Pavese , Alma Elizabeth Murch

Numero di pagine: 221

On June 23rd, 1950, Pavese, Italy's greatest modern writer received the coveted Strega Award for his novel Among Women Only. On August 26th, in a small hotel in his home town of Turin, he took his own life. Shortly before his death, he methodically destroyed all his private papers. His diary is all that remains and for this the contemporary reader can be grateful. Contemporary speculation attributed this tragedy to either an unhappy love aff air with the American film star Constance Dawling or his growing disillusionment with the Italian Communist Party. His Diaries, however, reveal a man whose art was his only means of repressing the specter of suicide which had haunted him since childhood: an obsession that fi nally overwhelmed him. As John Taylor notes, he possessed something much more precious than a political theory: a natural sensitivity to the plight and dignity of common people, be they bums, priests, grape-pickers, gas station attendants, offi ce workers, or anonymous girls picked up on the street (though to women, the author could--as he admitted--be as misogynous as he was aff ectionate). Bitter and incisive, This Business of Living, is both moving and painful to read...

Caterina

Caterina

Autore: Ivano Bersini

This new collection is a tribute to My mother who recently returned to heaven. A heaven I imagine without windows and without doors, as I believe it is accessed in a different way from that known to Us. This is an anthology that hopes to be a prayer of serenity, to You, who now perhaps sees much more than We do. Questa nuova silloge è un omaggio alla Mia mamma che è tornata da poco in cielo. Un cielo, quello, che Io immagino senza finestre e senza porte, perché là credo che si acceda in modo differente da quello a Noi noto. Un'antologia che desidera essere un augurio di serenità, a Lei che ora forse vede molto più di Noi.
