Beniamino Carella - Dentro e fuori l'Alaska

Un romanzo che narra la vita di Pasquale Larocca e la sua straordinaria esperienza sportiva, un giovane lucano appassionato di sci e montagna, determinato a superare i suoi limiti e raggiungere quel riscatto personale cui tutti ambiscono nel corso della vita. Pasquale non è uno sportivo professionista, lavora presso una ditta di caffè. Fa il volontariato nel soccorso alpino e impegna il restante tempo libero facendo il maestro di sci e organizzando escursioni sulle sue montagne. A quarant'anni, sotto la spinta della pura passione è stato il primo e unico italiano a vincere in sequenza le rinomate "Rovaniemi 150", in Finlandia e la "Iditarod 270 Alaska" e ancora la "Rovaniemi 300"..

Cinquemila anni per iniziare a controllare le scivolate sulla neve con semplici assi di legno e un centinaio per passare dalle prime competizioni al super-G. Dopo aver imparato a scivolare, a saltare e a fare qualche curva, ecco che nascono gruppi di appassionati, sci club, associazioni e federazioni. A loro il compito di stabilire le regole, organizzare l'attività e preparare le prime competizioni. Medaglie d'oro, d'argento, di bronzo e di legno. Fatica, freddo e qualche gioia. È dura la vita dello sciatore agonista. Quanti ne abbiamo visti passare dalle retrovie all'improvvisa ribalta e altrettanti, con una capriola inversa, dai successi all'ombra. Sono storie complesse, dove spunta solo il volto e il nome dell'atleta, ma quello che c'è alla base del percorso è spesso nascosto..

Giorgio Rocca, Thomas Ruberto - Slalom. Vittorie e sconfitte tra le curve della mia vita
Italiano | 2021 | 176 pages | ISBN: 8836005268 | EPUB | 12,3 MB

Giorgio Rocca, uno degli sciatori italiani più vincenti della storia, racconta in prima persona il suo amore smisurato per lo sci e la montagna, fatto di passione, tenacia, determinazione e voglia di arrivare. Come puoi sognare di diventare un campione di sci se non hai un talento innato e sei un bambino in sovrappeso? Come puoi decidere di continuare a lottare per emergere se, a vent'anni, all'esordio in Coppa del Mondo frantumi il ginocchio a metà gara? Come puoi riuscire a vincere la medaglia d'oro alle Olimpiadi di casa se sulle spalle porti l'enorme peso delle aspettative di un intero Paese? Con una buona dose di autoironia e una carica di sincerità, sempre in bilico tra l'azione e l'emozione e tra la gioia e la delusione, Rocca descrive le esperienze sportive e umane che l'hanno portato a primeggiare sulle piste di tutto il mondo, in un'epoca non lontana in cui lo sci alpino era alla disperata ricerca dell'erede di Alberto Tomba..

Customer Knowledge Management: Leveraging Soft Skills to Improve Customer Focus by Soumit Sain
English | PDF | 2014 | 207 Pages | ISBN : 3319050583 | 3.3 MB

Customer focus is the most important challenge of the future. Providing good customer service depends on how well companies know their customers and clearly identify their needs. Availability of customer knowledge, which is knowledge from, for and about the customer, thus becomes crucial in offering customized products or services. This can be gained most efficiently from direct interaction with customers, but requires the use of interpersonal and organizational soft skills. This book presents the interrelationship between customer knowledge management, customer focus and soft skills and also provides concrete advice on how the management of customer knowledge can be optimized.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: From Pathophysiological Prospects by Toshiko Sawaguchi
English | PDF | 2013 | 128 Pages | ISBN : 4431543147 | 2.9 MB

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is characterised by the sudden death of an infant that is not predicted by prior medical history and it is still responsible for a large percentage of infant mortalities. The exact causes have long remained unknown, though some risk factors such as including exposure to tobacco smoke, no breast feeding, and prone sleeping position, have been identified. However an analysis linking neurophysiological and neuropathological aspects in a prospective study of SIDS suggests that one of the causes of SIDS is arousal deficiency. This unique book provides the latest, comprehensive information on SIDS research from epidemiology to physiology.

Hypergeometric Orthogonal Polynomials and Their q-Analogues by Roelof Koekoek
English | PDF | 2010 | 578 Pages | ISBN : 3642050131 | 5 MB

The present book is about the Askey scheme and the q-Askey scheme, which are graphically displayed right before chapter 9 and chapter 14, respectively. The fa- lies of orthogonal polynomials in these two schemes generalize the classical orth- onal polynomials (Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials) and they have pr- erties similar to them. In fact, they have properties so similar that I am inclined (f- lowing Andrews & Askey [34]) to call all families in the (q-)Askey scheme classical orthogonal polynomials, and to call the Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials very classical orthogonal polynomials.

Organizational Psychology for Managers by Stephen R. Balzac

No matter how monolithic it may appear, an organization is a collection of moving parts. Whether we are looking at building teams, providing leadership, hiring and training employees, problem solving, managing time effectively, or setting aggressive, inspiring goals, every decision can easily impact every other decision. The complexity can quickly become overwhelming. Organizational Psychology identifies a framework and offers key methodologies managers need to define behavioral tendencies and navigate complex organizational systems.

Stewardship of Future Drylands and Climate Change in the Global South: Challenges and Opportunities for the Agenda 2030 by Simone Lucatello
English | PDF | 2019 | 359 Pages | ISBN : 3030224635 | 11.7 MB

This volume integrates a conceptual framework with participatory methodologies to understand the complexities of dryland socio-ecological systems, and to address challenges and opportunities for stewardship of future drylands and climate change in the global south. Through several case studies, the book offers a transdisciplinary and participatory approach to understand the complexity of socio-ecological systems, to co-produce accurate resource management plans for sustained stewardship, and to drive social learning and polycentric governance. This systemic framework permits the study of human-nature interrelationships through time and in particular contexts, with a focus on achieving progress in accordance with the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Mediastinal Pathology by Neda Kalhor

The mediastinum is a hollow space within the thoracic cavity that may give rise to a wide spectrum of tumoral conditions from the benign to the intermediate to the highly malignant neoplasms. In addition, other inflammatory and infectious conditions may also arise in this space, which renders the practice of mediastinal pathology, almost a general surgical pathology practice.

Si comincia sempre con un sogno. Quello che viene dopo sono il duro lavoro, la determinazione, il coraggio. E il cuore, soprattutto. È così che le hanno insegnato, fin da quando era bambina. Perché gli impegni che prendi con te stessa sono quelli più difficili da mantenere, ma anche quelli che ti consentono di essere davvero libera. Fin da quel primo paio di sci ricevuti in regalo a cinque anni, Manuela ha capito che gli obiettivi te li devi dare da sola, soprattutto se la natura è stata così generosa da regalarti un talento che non puoi permetterti di sprecare. La sua terra, la Carnia, le ha trasmesso la parsimonia di chi è abituato a distillare le gioie della vita da rinunce e privazioni…
