Sinopse

Michelangelo, thirty years old, was a sailor in the Mediterranean, a train driver in South America, a driver in Northern Europe and dreams of becoming an airplane pilot.
The thirst for adventure and the need to experience his solitude lead him to Kenya, where the casual discovery of a poster will push him to travel to Tanzania to face the highest mountain of the continent: Kilimanjaro. Climbing is an opportunity to test himself once again, to return to experience the thrill of the unknown, to remember the past but above all to dream of the future.

Edoardo Albasini was born in Florence in 1991.
At the age of twenty he moved to London, where he carried out the most varied professions until he found the only business that seemed to do for him: aviation.
Thus he begins to travel, six months a year in a suit and tie and the remaining backpacking. He visits more than 105 countries, noting his adventures and reflections in his notebooks.
Author of Via nella notte, Nient'altro che vita and Vertigine.
Vertigo is his first book translated and published in English.
He has more than 22,000 followers on Instagram with his profile Thevanishedchronicles, where he talks about his travels.
Disponível desde: 16/05/2023.

    A breakthrough program for triathletes -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced -- showing how to balance training intensity to maximize performance -- from a fitness expert and elite coach.Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called "moderate-intensity rut," spending almost half of their time training too hard--harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results. In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance--Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman--to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results.

Although the practices in this book originated in ancient China, these exercises are meant to benefit all people. The system as a whole is known as "Qigong." "Qi" refers to the life force energy that emanates within all things, material and non-material, and "gong" means work, or skill. Practicing the meditations and exercises described in this book will certainly give your Qi a boost, and you will finish feeling revitalized and refreshed, rather than worked-out and exhausted. Each day of practice will bring greater and greater benefits, gradually refining your health and vitality—your fundamental nature—as one would refine ore into gold.
