brossura L'era quantistica è alle porte. Potenze mondiali, multinazionali, università e centri di ricerca sono sempre più concentrati sulla ricerca quantistica, in una corsa guidata non tanto dal "se" la Quantum Supremacy sarà raggiunta, ma piuttosto dal "quando". Partendo dalla storia della teoria quantistica, il libro affronta gli sviluppi della più avanzata ricerca scientifica e tecnologica: dalla crittografia quantistica al quantum computing, dalle trasmissioni quantistiche alla post-quantum cryptography. Lo scopo è quello di richiamare l'attenzione su un tema le cui applicazioni pratiche impatteranno molti settori d'interesse strategico e che sono destinate, nel prossimo futuro, a rivoluzionare i metodi di scambio delle informazioni. Il linguaggio utilizzato è in grado di accompagnare alla scoperta del mondo quantistico tanto un pubblico non specialistico, cercando di fornire di volta in volta tutte le nozioni scientifiche necessarie in termini il più possibile accessibili, quanto il lettore più curioso e preparato, grazie anche alle appendici di approfondimento ma soprattutto ad una completa e dettagliata bibliografia.
br. Nessuno aveva mai pensato di scrivere un libro sui legami tra la musica e la corsa. Finché uno scrittore - che di mestiere fa il pianista ma che, per passione, è atleta da allenamento quotidiano - ha compreso quanto siano simili, complementari e meravigliosamente affini le arti e la pratica sportiva. È nato così un libro che non è soltanto un libro, perché per ognuno degli undici capitoli che compongono il testo c'è un brano musicale per pianoforte, scritto e registrato dallo stesso autore. I capitoli e i brani (contenuti nel CD allegato) condividono i titoli e le ispirazioni, perché alla fine si tratta semplicemente di narrare la stessa storia in due maniere diverse. E poi, a pensarci bene, si usa pur sempre una tastiera. "A volte corro piano" racconta la corsa ai musicisti e la musica ai runner. Ci sono le vittorie e le sconfitte più dolorose, le speranze mal riposte e i sogni ancora da realizzare, la battaglia con l'anoressia atletica, i piccoli e grandi incontri, le centinaia di ore sulla strada per preparare la "100 km del Passatore" e le centinaia di ore sui tasti bianchi e neri, due colori che mischiati danno il grigio dell'asfalto. Prefazione di Giorgio Calcaterra e Monica Carlin.

br. Il Regno d'Italia cinge Roma d'assedio. La attornia, la scruta dai campi al confine, entra di soppiatto con gli occhi delle spie, si sporge con cautela dalle feritoie, la reclama con furia dalle pagine dei giornali, la pretende in Parlamento. Corre l'anno 1862, l'unità nazionale è ormai compiuta, eppure Roma, il centro del mondo, continua a sfuggire e a resistere sotto il trono papale e la mal sopportata protezione dei francesi. Il neonato governo italiano cerca di scardinarne le difese con la politica, mentre Garibaldi raduna in Sicilia una schiera di volontari per muovere bellicosamente verso la predestinata capitale, prima di essere fermato dal regio esercito sull'Aspromonte. Cinque anni dopo, l'eroe dei due mondi viene sconfitto dalle truppe pontificie sostenute dai francesi nella battaglia di Mentana e a Roma fallisce l'insurrezione. Ogni tentativo di conquista si infrange contro la barriera invisibile che sembra avvolgere la città e imprigionarla in un'assenza dal mondo e dal tempo. Eppure la percezione è che l'urbe possa da un momento all'altro crollare. Vittorio Emanuele II e Napoleone III, Pio IX e Francesco II, Mazzini e Garibaldi, il cardinale Antonelli e monsignor de Mérode, Ricasoli e Rattazzi. Governi sorti e caduti in pochi mesi, briganti, tradimenti, attentati, manovre segrete. Astuti triangoli politici e fini giochi di potere. Bombe e petardi. Molti carcerati, anche, e morti ammazzati. Nella Guerra di Roma Stefano Tomassini mette in scena una storia appassionante: la ricostruzione - compiuta attraverso una straordinaria messe di documenti - dei dieci anni che hanno portato alla breccia di Porta Pia e alla presa di Roma. Alla fine del Risorgimento e al principio della nostra storia contemporanea.
