Dear Pier Paolo I will tell you about your murder - Unpublished diary of the Italian criminologist who reopened the investigation

Simona Ruffini

Sinossi

On the night of November 2, 1975, one of the most brutal murders in the history of Italy was committed. Pier Paolo Pasolini, poet, film director, writer, actor and playwright, a controversial intellectual who caused a lot of trouble in the world of politics, was killed.
For thirty-five years no one had managed to reopen that cold case. But in 2009, when the criminologist Simona Ruffini, together with the lawyer Stefano Maccioni, filed a request with the Public Prosecutor's Office, everything changed.
This book is the only truly unpublished story of the investigation that rewrote one of the darkest pages in criminal history.
The author, narrating her investigation to Pasolini in the form of a personal diary, talks about the meetings with the new witnesses, the days spent in the laboratories of the RIS in Rome analyzing the finds, the investigations and the leads followed, the reports read and of the requests filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office, of the hopes and disappointments.
This is therefore a true story from the voice of someone who experienced firsthand the reopening of one of the most well-known cold cases in Italy.

Turn It Up! - My Time Making Hit...

Tom Werman

As an A&R man at Epic Records, Tom Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Jeff Beck, Poison, and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies. 
 
 
 
After bearing witness to several sea changes in the music industry, Werman retired from producing in 2001 and reinvented himself as an award-winning innkeeper in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. And that might have been that—until an off-the-cuff rebuttal to a disparaging critique of his role in making the Mötley Crüe album Girls, Girls, Girls on a music website led to a fortnightly column and now this book—an honest and engaging insider account on how some of the best-loved albums of the 1970s and '80s came to be. A must for anyone interested in the glory days of rock and metal, Turn It Up! offers valuable insights into the recording process, the recording studio, the role of the producer, and the production values that are essential to the creation of a hit record.

Life After Suicide - Finding...

Anonimo

From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent, heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find peace. 
 
Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one’s suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world—and that of her children—was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world’s largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss—the most painful thing she’d ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air—an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind.  
In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that’s been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.

Asperger’s Syndrome - Navigating...

Coral Nunez

Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is often misunderstood, yet it is a part of the broader spectrum of human neurodiversity. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome experience the world in unique ways, often exhibiting strengths in specific areas while facing challenges in social communication and sensory processing. The aim of this book is to provide a deeper understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, exploring the characteristics, challenges, and strengths that come with it, while promoting acceptance and celebration of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings.
Asperger’s Syndrome, in particular, is characterized by challenges in social interactions, communication, and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. However, these traits do not define the person as a whole. Many individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome possess exceptional abilities in fields such as mathematics, technology, music, and art. They may also demonstrate a deep, intense focus on subjects they are passionate about, allowing them to become experts in their areas of interest.

Soul of Goodness - Transform...

PhD Christopher Phillips

Christopher Phillips has devoted his life to carrying the torch of Socrates and his quest to "Know Thyself." Yet upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Café movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers. 
 
 
 
In this personal and probing book, the acclaimed 'philosopher for the people' shares lessons gleaned from his intimate and often unexpected encounters with uncommonly perceptive human beings both living and long deceased. Along the way, he charts a pathway for sculpting what Shakespeare describes as a "soul of goodness," which meshes with Plato's paradigm-shattering conception of the "healthiness of soul." For those struggling to overcome the hopelessness that can result from grievous loss, setback, or betrayal, the author spotlights how to cultivate a 'Socratic spirit' that leads to renewed love, forbearance, and hope at the other end of the tunnel.
