Amore, Conquista e Relazione
by G. G. VegaTutti gli uomini, quando si innamorano, hanno normalmente grandi difficoltà a gestire la situazione, specialmente se si tratta delle prime esperienze. So perfettamente quanto possa essere d'aiuto trovare consigli pratici, utili, che spingano a prendere iniziative e, soprattutto, che instillino la fiducia necessaria per provare a osare. Non fallisce chi prova, perchè in ogni tentativo si impara, si acquisisce sicurezza, si perfeziona e si evolve la nostra identità. Solo chi non tenta mai fallisce sempre. . Nel sistema globale l’orientamento verso relazioni sane tra uomo e donna è piuttosto carente, mentre c’è troppa informazione sugli aspetti più volgari di questo rapporto. Condivido qui queste mie opinioni per creare e rafforzare una vera motivazione, con l’obiettivo non solo di valorizzare le donne, ma anche di saper compiacerle attraverso argomenti e atteggiamenti costruttivi e, soprattutto, rendere possibile la conquista di chi ci ha catturato i sensi. Senza pretendere di essere un Guru o un Maestro, traggo ispirazione dalla mia educazione ed esperienza personale per trasmettere il meglio del mio vissuto e delle mie conoscenze in ambito amoroso. Voglio essere più coerente possibile con il senso della vita stessa, il valore del genere tanto maschile che femminile, le diffrerenze e gli obiettivi più duraturi nelle relazioni tra uomo e donna.

AmorePacific: From Local to Global Beauty
by David Kiron Pankaj Ghemawat Carin-Isabel KnoopSuh Kyung-Bae, the President and CEO of AmorePacific, a South Korean cosmetics company, was an ardent globalizer. In its home market, AmorePacific had held off major multinational players such as L'Oreal and Estee Lauder and had engaged them in markets around the world, from France to China. The case discusses the company's position and options in the Korean, French, U.S., and Chinese markets. To reach their aim to run one of the top 10 cosmetics companies in the world, with 4 billion in sales by 2015 (1.2 billion from outside Korea), company managers had to ensure that as a global company, AmorePacific amounted to more than the sum of its country parts--a challenge compounded by deep differences across countries. Related questions included: in which countries should AmorePacific focus invest resources and managerial emphasis and attention? How concerned should they be about the diversity of approaches being taken in the three major countries/regions? And what role did non-organic options--aquisitions or joint ventures--plan as a way of boosting international growth rates?
Los amores de Sylvia (Clásicos Del Bronce Ser. #Vol. 34)
by Elizabeth GaskellLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «¿Por qué los ojos de Kinraid siempre parecían buscarla, mientras que los de ella se mantenían apartados, o bajos, y sus mejillas encendidas?» Dos hombres de carácter antagónico se enamoran de Sylvia Robson, una joven de provincias: el comerciante Philip Hepburn y el arponero Charley Kinfaid. Cierto secreto forjará el destino de los tres protagonistas, cuyas vidas conocerán demasiado tarde el arrepentimiento y la redención. Los amores de Sylvia transcurre en un pueblo portuario inglés durante el período épico y miserable de las guerras napoleónicas. En ella se ofrece un retrato extraordinario de las costumbres y los comportamientos de toda una comunidad rural, donde el orden,el individualismo, el amor y la mentira son capaces de exaltar y destruir las relaciones humanas. Este gran clásico de la literatura inglesa, definido por la propia autora como la obra más triste que jamás escribió, ha sido vertido al castellano por la virtuosa mano de Damià Alou. Incluye, además, una introducción escrita por el propio traductor.

Amores tóxicos, futuros imposibles: El vivir feminista como forma de resistencia
by Irmgard EmmelhainzEL VIVIR FEMINISTA COMO FORMA DE RESISTENCIA... Porque, aunque las mujeres hayamos logrado puestos políticos, los temas que nos conciernen siguen siendo un tema secundario o suplementario a la política, y por eso estamos furiosas. Tomando en cuenta las urgencias del momento en el que vivimos, este ensayo está articulado como una bisagra que entrelaza una serie de diálogos imprescindibles con amigas imaginarias y reales. Las reflexiones tienen la preocupación común de esbozar debates urgentes que conciernen el estado del “ser mujer” en los albores de la segunda década del siglo XXI. Incorporo voces de otras mujeres en un intento urgente para resistir el presente en su compañía, en un mundo en el que una “voz de mujer” existe en cuerpos interpelados para ocupar posiciones importantes a trabajar en fábricas, unirse al ejército, pero cuyos cuerpos son sistemáticamente vulnerados por la violencia de género y por la doble carga impuesta para ejercer trabajo productivo y reproductivo. Porque, aunque las mujeres hayamos logrado puestos políticos, los temas que nos conciernen siguen siendo un tema secundario o suplementario a la política, y por eso estamos furiosas. «En este libro caleidoscópico y sustancioso -lleno de ideas provocadoras y de reflexiones propositivas, de punzantes preguntas, de citas felices y tremendas- Irmgard Emmelhainz se atreve a ir con y a contracorriente de sus pares: en su abordaje interseccional, comprometido con el futuro de las especies y de la tierra, no hay asunto del que se reste ni lema que no analice usando el afecto como poderosa herramienta política.» -Lina meruane «Los textos hilan, desde una escritura fragmentada, un complejo ensayo donde al tomarse lo político de manera personal lo levanta como un problema colectivo. Se enfrenta con las condiciones tóxicas del sistema mundo, capitalismo, patriarcado, racismo, colonialismo, crisis ecológicas. Insiste en el amor como un puente entre inconmensurabilidades que generen hoyos, aperturas, posibilidades, rasgaduras.» -Helena chávez mac gregor «Irmgard testimonia con valor y documenta con inteligencia aspectos cruciales de los dilemas que hoy enfrentan muchísimas mujeres. Su libro da cuenta, desde una perspectiva global y de clase poco común, de varias de las tensiones políticas que preocupan a los feminismos actuales.» -Marta lamas «Desde nuestra actualidad en vías del colapso, con su pluma politizada, hábil y filosa, Emmelhainz teje vínculos resistentes entre el arte, el activismo, los feminismos, los cuerpos/territorios insurrectos, la maternidad, colectividades cuir, y tanto más para hacer del acto de pensar no un martillo para acabar con la diferencia, sino un dedo que acaricia las heridas de la vulnerabilidad compartida.» -Gabriela jauregui

Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II: The Source of Controversy (Routledge Focus on Religion)
by Mariusz BiliniewiczAmoris Laetitia, Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation on love in the family, turned out to be one of the most controversial documents of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church in recent decades. It was published in April 2016 following the two "Synods of Bishops on the Family" held in 2014 and 2015. The document brought division amongst the Catholic hierarchy, theologians and pastors and nearly two years after its publication the exact meaning of the document and its implications for the Church are still a matter of dispute. A number of prelates present at the Synods indicated that these gatherings were animated by "the spirit of Vatican II." This work links the notion of "the spirit of Vatican II" with Amoris Laetitia and it argues that a hermeneutics of interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which focuses on following "the spirit of the Council" is the hermeneutics which can be, and in the future most likely will be, the predominant way of interpreting and implementing Amoris Laetitia. This book aims to provide a contribution to this hotly debated topic in the field of Catholic theology.
The Amorites and the Bronze Age Near East: The Making of a Regional Identity
by Aaron A. BurkeIn this book, Aaron A. Burke explores the evolution of Amorite identity in the Near East from ca. 2500–1500 BC. He sets the emergence of a collective identity for the Amorites, one of the most famous groups in Ancient Near Eastern history, against the backdrop of both Akkadian imperial intervention and declining environmental conditions during this period. Tracing the migration of Amorite refugees from agropastoral communities into nearby regions, he shows how mercenarism in both Mesopotamia and Egypt played a central role in the acquisition of economic and political power between 2100 and 1900 BC. Burke also examines how the establishment of Amorite kingdoms throughout the Near East relied on traditional means of legitimation, and how trade, warfare, and the exchange of personnel contributed to the establishment of an Amorite koiné. Offering a fresh approach to identity at different levels of social hierarchy over time and space, this volume contributes to broader questions related to identity for other ancient societies.
The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue: A Child of the Fifties Looks Back
by Robert KleinDear Reader,When we asked the beloved award-winning comedian and actor Robert Klein to write a book, you can imagine our utter surprise when he told us that he wanted to write about sixth-century Chinese pottery. Thankfully, he hit a creative brick wall (since he doesn't really know anything about pottery from China or anywhere else). Then came similar failures to write books about sea turtles, circumnavigation of the globe, building jet engines at home, the sociology of chickens, or fungi of the skin.Luckily, Mr. Klein's paramount concern was the consumer. He knew that if we, his publishers, were going to boldly ask you to purchase his book (see above for price), he would have to write something so good, so worthwhile, so meaningful as to make you want to send additional money to your bookseller in gratitude for having allowed you to partake in this reading experience.So Mr. Klein set out to write about what he knows best: himself. This book is about the adventures of a child who becomes a young man: how he thinks and dreams and lusts and fears and laughs and handles adversity. From the beginning of his distinguished career as a comedian, Robert Klein established himself as a pioneer in observational humor and razor-sharp routines that are infectiously funny. Now -- for the first time -- Klein brings his trademark humor and honesty to the printed page. In this portrait of a comic as a young man, Klein takes us back to the people and streets of his Bronx neighborhood, the eccentric cast of characters in the Catskills hotels and bungalow colonies where he worked, the college dorms where he received more than an academic education, the 1964 World's Fair where he fell in love, New York City and Chicago in the 1960s as he developed his talent, and Los Angeles just as he was about to embark on a show business career. Throughout, Klein reveals the hilarity of growing up and explores the mysteries and his own foibles in sex and relationships. He recounts with wit and poignancy losing his virginity with a prostitute, bringing home a German girlfriend to his Jewish family, and the amorous adventures of the busboy he once was.With an ego more fragile than Chinese pottery, Robert Klein has written a funny and evocative coming-of-age memoir -- well worth the price (if we say so ourselves). Enjoy.All the best,The Publisher
The Amorous Heart: An Unconventional History of Love
by Marilyn YalomAn eminent scholar unearths the captivating history of the two-lobed heart symbol from scripture and tapestry to T-shirts and text messages, shedding light on how we have expressed love since antiquityThe symmetrical, exuberant heart is everywhere: it gives shape to candy, pendants, the frothy milk on top of a cappuccino, and much else. How can we explain the ubiquity of what might be the most recognizable symbol in the world?In The Amorous Heart, Marilyn Yalom tracks the heart metaphor and heart iconography across two thousand years, through Christian theology, pagan love poetry, medieval painting, Shakespearean drama, Enlightenment science, and into the present. She argues that the symbol reveals a tension between love as romantic and sexual on the one hand, and as religious and spiritual on the other. Ultimately, the heart symbol is a guide to the astonishing variety of human affections, from the erotic to the chaste and from the unrequited to the conjugal.
The Amorous Imagination: Individuating the Other-as-Beloved (SUNY series in Contemporary French Thought)
by D. Andrew YostIn The Amorous Imagination, D. Andrew Yost builds upon Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology of love to argue that through the interpretive activities of the imagination the Beloved appears to the lover as this Other, not the Other. Weaving together insights from Romantic thought and contemporary French philosophy, Yost describes the distinctive role the imagination plays in individuating another person so that they appear radically unique, special, and unsubstitutable. This radical uniqueness—or haecceitas—emerges out of the lovers' engagement in an "endless hermeneutic," an ongoing process of creative and responsive meaning-making that grounds the lovers' lives in each other and opens them up to new possibilities. All of this, Yost argues, is made possible by the amorous imagination. Drawing from the deep well of love poetry, mythology, philosophy, and literature The Amorous Imagination comes to the provocative conclusion that without the productive power of the imagination love itself could not emerge.

This book offers an up-to-date treatment of chalcogenide glasses and amorphous semiconductors from basic principles to applications while providing the reader with the necessary theoretical background to understanding the material properties technology of this class of materials. This book offers an up-to-date treatment of chalcogenide glasses and amorphous semiconductors from basic principles to applications while providing the reader with the necessary theoretical background to understanding the material properties. Chalcogenides form a special class of materials, which have one or more of the elements from the chalcogen group, Group VI in the Periodic Table (S, Se. or Te) as a constituent; the chalcogen is mixed with other elements to form various "new" compounds and alloys. Chalcogenides are noncrystalline solids because their structure is "amorphous" or "glassy". Such structures have totally different properties than crystalline solids. Chalcogenide glasses have a number of very interesting and useful properties, which have been already exploited in the commercialization of new devices.

Amorphous Magnetism
by Takahito KaneyoshiThis book presents some of the methods used in the theory of amorphous magnetism, from a single standpoint that amorphous magnets have a topologically disordered structure of the type given by the dense random packing of hard spheres.The primary aim is to show systematically the present theoretical apparatus in a form which would allow the reader to use it in investigations of still unsolved problems. Even within these limits, the theory of amorphous magnetism is now a very large subject. This book is not designed to review all the developments in this rapidly developing area. It is primarily intended for the novice in this field, rather than the specialist.
Amorphous-Nanocrystalline Alloys
by A. M. Glezer N. A. ShuryginaAmorphous-nanocrystalline alloys are a relatively new class of materials born from the rapid development of new technologies and different methods of producing amorphous and nanocrystalline powders and films, compacting, melt quenching, megaplastic deformation, implantation, laser, plasma, and other high-energy methods. This book considers methods of producing these materials (melt quenching, controlled crystallization, deformation effect, and pulse treatments (photon, laser and ultrasound), spraying thin films, and ion implantation). Theoretical and experimental studies describe plastic deformation mechanisms and physico-mechanical properties. Practical applications are also presented.

Amorphous Nanophotonics (Nano-Optics and Nanophotonics)
by Carsten Rockstuhl Toralf ScharfThis book represents the first comprehensive overview over amorphous nano-optical and nano-photonic systems. Nanophotonics is a burgeoning branch of optics that enables many applications by steering the mould of light on length scales smaller than the wavelength with devoted nanostructures. Amorphous nanophotonics exploits self-organization mechanisms based on bottom-up approaches to fabricate nanooptical systems. The resulting structures presented in the book are characterized by a deterministic unit cell with tailored geometries; but their spatial arrangement is not controlled. Instead of periodic, the structures appear either amorphous or random. The aim of this book is to discuss all aspects related to observable effects in amorphous nanophotonic material and aspects related to their design, fabrication, characterization and integration into applications. The book has an interdisciplinary nature with contributions from scientists in physics, chemistry and materials sciences and sheds light on the topic from many directions.

Amorphous Semiconductors
by Sándor Kugler Koichi ShimakawaAmorphous materials differ significantly from their crystalline counterparts in several ways that create unique issues in their use. This book explores these issues and their implications, and provides a full treatment of both experimental and theoretical studies in the field. Advances in Amorphous Semiconductors covers a wide range of studies on hydrogenated amorphous silicon, amorphous chalcogenides, and some oxide glasses. It reviews structural properties, properties associated with the charge carrier-phonon interaction, defects, electronic transport, photoconductivity, and some applications of amorphous semiconductors. The book explains a number of recent advances in semiconductor research, including some of the editors' own findings. It addresses some of the problems associated with the validity of the effective mass approximation, whether K is a good quantum number, and the concepts of phonons and excitons. It also discusses recent progress made in understanding light-induced degradations in amorphous semiconductors, which is seen as the most limiting problem in device applications. The book presents a comprehensive review of both experimental and theoretical studies on amorphous semiconductors, which will be useful to students, researchers, and instructors in the field of amorphous solids.
