The book describes the quantitative process developed by the author in his decades as both a trader and an investor.

The author recounts his journey, stumbles and common fears in order to help the reader not to fall into the same mistakes. The aim is to build a data-driven analytical method that eliminates the interference of emotions.

Casario explains how to use the main economic-financial concepts to build a model that, through technical analysis and the study of price action, allows one to study the performance of different financial markets.

The book illustrates how to construct a quantitative approach that allows one to define the various macroeconomic regimes and how they affect the performance of the various asset classes, thus providing the investor with the statistical advantage that can enable him to obtain positive returns in the financial markets.

A bicycle kick by Gigi Riva, a throw by Platini, a dribble by Messi and so on. There are technical gestures that are worth an entire match: a mixture of technique, instinct and personality that have become the calling card of the world’s greatest football stars. What everyone remembers.

Roberto Beccantini, in half a century of profession, has seen them all, often from the stands of a stadium around the world. In this book, he recounts them and vivisects them, also through the art of Luca Laurenti’s illustrated stories, widening his gaze to the personalities of the champions that the journalist often met in person and whose behind-the-scenes stories he could not write in an article.

The book is, at the same time, a history of world football told through the protagonists and a manual of technique, from ball control to shooting, from free kicks to backhands and heels. Gestures that continue to feed the legend of the most beautiful game in the world.

With orbits increasingly crowded with satellites, debris and space junk, the use of circum-terrestrial space is in danger of becoming the Wild West of the new millennium.

The overbearing entry of private entrepreneurs into the world of space has multiplied the number of services provided by in-orbit instruments, causing the space economy to grow tumultuously. Orbits are filling up alarmingly, and we are only at the beginning of the proliferation of mega constellations created to provide planet-wide Internet connections. There are no laws to manage the number of satellites in orbit, which are growing at such a dizzying rate that there are fears of real orbital bottlenecks that could cause catastrophic collisions.

We need to extend the concept of sustainable use to the space around us, but also to the other bodies in the solar system, so as not to repeat the same mistakes we have made on the Earth’s surface. Looking further afield, to the Moon and Mars, human settlements will have to respect the ecosystem of celestial bodies. Particular attention must be paid to the risks of biological pollution. Explorers (both human and robotic) risk transporting terrestrial material. Likewise, our handling of extraterrestrial samples requires well-equipped laboratories and continuous surveillance.

Ecological consciousness was also born thanks to images of the Earth from space. Thus we have discovered the beauty and fragility of our planet; now it is time to think about a new space ecology.

Writing with AI is an invitation to develop a more fulfilling and productive relationship with technology, stimulate inventiveness, improve technical skills and offer new perspectives on writing.

Starting from the customisation of the operating context, with brand identity guidelines, the book moves on to the organisation of ideas and then to the planning and drafting of the text. The last part of the work deals with the dissemination and adaptation of the product: visibility in search engines with SEO and reworking the original content for further formats, such as reels and carousels, for social.

Through this book, it will be possible to find inspiration, learn procedures and adopt strategies to convey value through words.

An essential handbook that reveals how to harness the potential of generative artificial intelligence in the professional sphere, a practical guide to boosting productivity and creativity.

Generative AI is revolutionising the way we work and live. But how can we understand and use this technology effectively? Generative AI answers this and other questions, starting with the basics and moving on to the more advanced aspects. The work covers AI fundamentals, practical applications, prompt engineering techniques and the optimal use of AI generation tools. Packed with use cases and proven strategies, the handbook illustrates how to automate processes and integrate AI into daily routines.

An indispensable resource for anyone wishing to fully exploit the potential of AI, the book offers the keys to turning the challenges of a new technological era into opportunities.

An agile volume that deals with the history of chemistry and particles (Li-Be-Re and Ge-Ni-Al-I, from the union of the symbols of some chemical elements) in an original way and addresses some of the most curious aspects of this discipline, linked to the discovery of matter from fire in prehistoric times to radioactivity in the last century.

The book, divided into ten parts that follow one another in chronological order, accompanies the discovery of the chemical elements through some more or lesser-known scientific personalities who, with tenacity and passion, have succeeded, sometimes by chance, in laying important milestones not only in the history of chemistry but also in culture in general.

What emerges is a picture that highlights the importance of collective work among both coeval scientists and those who lived in very different eras, in a synergy capable of crossing space and time. In particular, some important figures of female scientists emerge whose fame has long remained in the shadows behind their spouses’ names.

The bible for every aspiring sommelier and for fans of Italy’s most iconic drink: wine.

A complete handbook, dealing with all aspects from viticulture to oenology, from national and international oenography to tasting, representing the indispensable support for the study of the sommelier profession in Italy and worldwide.

Vaccarini’s volume allows the reader to acquire an all-round technical and cultural background not only on the world of wine, but also on the other drinks that accompany meals. The new sommelier, as interpreted by modern catering, will in fact also have to know and match food with distillates, liqueurs, infusions or mineral waters.

Giuseppe Vaccarini, author and President of ASPI, Associazione Sommellerie Professionale Italiana (Italian Professional Sommelier Association), is the excellence in the Italian wine sector.

Nice to Rock You is a book that recounts the fortunate (and often fortuitous) meeting of great protagonists of rock history without whom the music world would have experienced different events.

Would Elvis Presley have become the King of rock’n’roll without Colonel Parker? Who would John and Paul have been without George Martin? Would Joni Mitchell have been a painter if David Crosby had not discovered her? And what would the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been like without Rick Rubin’s insights?

"Life, man, is the art of encounter," said Vinicius de Moraes. And the history of twentieth-century music has offered us a wide range of propitious moments in which the destiny of two or more characters has intertwined, giving rise to new, unexpected scenarios that have helped to give a precise direction to the unstoppable and changing flow of history.

The book, divided into 5 sections, recounts 6 special encounters in different fields, covering curious and often little-known moments, places and circumstances. It is a unique volume in the national and international panorama, embellished by a rich iconographic apparatus and tracks that can be listened to via QR code, almost a soundtrack to the stories themselves.

Twelve rivalries in cycling recounted four-handedly by Gregorio and Pisaneschi, two journalists and sports commentators who know the champions and their stories intimately, and know how to reveal the humanity and harshness of their character.

Rivalries have been the salt of cycling since the beginning of its history. Without bothering too much about Coppi and Bartali, in this book the two authors have reread the history of the last sixty years of the great competitions (the Tour, the Giro, the classics) through the clashes between the champions. And so the cannibal Merckx bites and is sometimes bitten by Gimondi and Ocaña, Moser and Saronni do not stop poking at each other even after they have stopped racing. And then the pirate Pantani, an adversary above all of himself, up to the rivalries of recent years between Pogacar and Vingegaard, Van Aert and Van Der Poel, which have rekindled the enthusiasm of the fans for a sport where contact with the riders is very close.

A breathtaking photo finish at the end of the volume makes the reader relive all the rivalries he has just read about.

With a preface by Riccardo Magrini, cycling commentator for the legendary ‘Greg&Magro’ duo and author of Close to the Clouds. I grandi scalatori del ciclismo moderno (Hoepli, 2023).
