br. Il libro ricostruisce le campagne elettorali di Ippolito Niccolini per la sua elezione a deputato nel collegio plurinominale di Firenze IV. Mediante il recupero archivistico dei dati disaggregati relativi ai risultati conseguiti dai candidati nei singoli comuni del collegio - in alcuni casi non conservati neppure presso l'archivio della Camera dei Deputati - emergono con chiarezza, risultando significativamente approfonditi, i meccanismi che regolano la competizione politica nel periodo dello scrutinio di lista (1882-1890). In virtù di informazioni rimaste sinora inedite, e di uno studio capillare della corrispondenza privata, le modalità intraprese da Niccolini per la conquista del mandato parlamentare, ottenuto militando nelle fila della Sinistra liberal-democratica, gettano nuova luce sulle dinamiche che orientano le relazioni personali all'interno del patronage system e le embrionali articolazioni 'partitiche' formatesi in Toscana sul finire dell'Ottocento, delineando al contempo la fisionomia di un membro di spicco dell'élite politica fiorentina in età liberale.

br. Se le prime teorie fisiche moderne presentavano molteplici aspetti innovativi rispetto alla concezione meccanicistica dominante all'inizio del XIX secolo, queste si fondavano comunque sulla convinzione che la natura fosse retta da leggi rigorose, deterministiche, di portata universale. La teoria atomistica del Novecento, detta meccanica quantistica, ha messo in discussione questo pilastro rimasto saldo per millenni e ci ha costretto a ripensare la nostra idea di mondo. Questo libro vuole rendere comprensibili gli aspetti fondamentali della meccanica quantistica e i problemi filosofici che solleva, con un linguaggio il più possibile chiaro, ma sempre preciso e rigoroso. In particolare vengono valutate le conseguenze dei principi quantistici su grandi problemi filosofici ancora aperti, come l'esistenza della materia, l'importanza della casualità e il dibattito sul fondamento ultimo della realtà.

br. Che cosa succederebbe se Simplicio, Salviati e Sagredo, i tre protagonisti del "Dialogo" di Galileo, si incontrassero oggi e parlassero di fisica? Come reagirebbero all'ancora insuperato scandalo del comportamento quantistico della materia? Un grande fisico contemporaneo, Jauch, ha avuto l'idea di mettere in scena questo gioco, sulle rive del lago di Ginevra. E così ha scritto una guida illuminante e leggibile ai temi cruciali della fisica contemporanea.

ill., ril. Nella storia dell'Italia moderna ci si dimentica spesso del mare e di ciò che vi è avvenuto, e Amalfi ne è un caso poiché proprio su di esso ha iniziato la sua fortuna. Agli inizi del 1500 la Francia, che non aveva mai dimenticato d'esser stata per secoli padrona e donna del Meridione, voleva reimpossessarsi del Regno di Napoli, saldamente in mano della Spagna da un ventennio e vi inviò un esercito di terra. Sul mare si appoggiò al genovese Andrea Doria che costituì una flotta di tecnici esperti. Le navi spagnole si scontrarono con le Doria al largo di Capodorso-Erchie-Fonti nel 1528 in una poderosa battaglia navale in cui avvenne fra l'altro un caso straordinario e raro nella storia della Spagna moderna, l'uccisione cioè del Viceré Ugo de Moncada che era al comando della flotta napoletana. Il libro passa in rassegna tutte le vicende di merito, i riflessi storici e letterari che se ne ebbero, le personalità insigni che vi parteciparono.
Un grande scrittore torna su un personaggio e poeta, Dino Campana, al quale aveva già dedicato "La notte della cometa". Scrive Vassalli: "È il Natale del 1916: in Italia, un Natale triste. Tutti o quasi tutti gli uomini validi sono lontani da casa, in quelle trincee tra le montagne dove si soffre e si muore per una guerra che, nonostante la retorica ufficiale, non ha in sé proprio niente di epico... Eppure per Dino Campana l'ultimo giorno felice fu il Natale a Marradi. Perché Dino e Sibilla Aleramo siano andati a Marradi, dove lei non era mai stata, proprio in quel giorno di Natale del 1916, non si sa... Forse prima di perdersi in quel crepuscolo della ragione dove stava precipitando da più di un anno, lui ha voluto mostrare i suoi luoghi d'infanzia all'unica persona che aveva avuto un moto d'affetto nei suoi confronti..."
