Brains of Italy

Simone Malacrida

Editorial: BookRix

Sinopsis

The book is conceived as a journey through the Italy of research, through successive meetings with each of the researchers. The author of the book acts as the connecting link, bringing together the different stories, asking questions and reflections, jotting down ideas and impressions of places and people. The author also serves as a spectator and protagonist, being himself in search of something during this journey. Various cities are touched upon during the year-long journey, including Rome, Trieste, Milan, Lodi, Naples, Turin, Cosenza, Bologna, Bari and Padua, which are the background of the encounters. The stories of these researchers are extrapolated by following a dialogic form and emphasizing, from time to time, different aspects so as to form a complete picture especially on what drives a person to take the path of research and what are the underlying motivations and possible successes of applications and studies. These stories tell about "normal" people, and all the people involved in the book have a common generational trait, being mostly born in the mid-1970s, so a generation of 30-35 year olds will be discussed. The ten stories cover different fields, not only at the level of the scientific or medical field, and highlight different paths of growth, so not only "pure" researchers (academic and university field) will be talked about, but also those who work in industry as employees or those who have founded a business.

Small Action BIG RESULTS -...

Book Cave

All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
Why is that? 
Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
But that’s not how improvement really works.

Midwifery - The Art and Science...

Stacey Wilmore

Midwifery is a practice that has been integral to childbirth for centuries, evolving from ancient traditions to a sophisticated combination of art and science. At its core, midwifery is the profession of providing care to women during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. The midwife’s role extends far beyond delivering babies; it encompasses emotional, physical, and educational support, ensuring that the birthing experience is as safe and empowering as possible for mothers and their families. In many ways, midwifery represents a holistic approach to birth, integrating medical knowledge with compassionate care and respect for the natural process of labor.
The art of midwifery is founded on intuition, experience, and a deep understanding of the needs of women throughout their reproductive journey. Midwives possess a unique ability to read the subtle cues of a woman's body, supporting her during labor with techniques that promote comfort, relaxation, and confidence. Whether through guided breathing, massage, or providing words of encouragement, the midwife’s role often transcends the clinical to become a deeply personal and emotional experience for both the birthing person and their support system.
On the other hand, midwifery is also a science, deeply rooted in medical knowledge and evidence-based practices. Midwives are trained to monitor the health of both mother and baby, assess potential risks, and intervene when necessary. They are skilled in recognizing complications and know when to collaborate with obstetricians or other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes. This balance between intuition and medical expertise allows midwives to provide a level of care that is both compassionate and scientifically sound.
