Barbieri Paolo Star Dragons. Fantasy Visions
Un libro in cui la magia del fantastico accarezza il mistero e la meraviglia del cosmo. Le costellazioni si trasformano in Draghi straordinari, e le stelle prendono forma nei guerrieri, nei cavalieri e nelle creature che accompagnano i Draghi. Il mito incontra la leggenda, il fantasy si fonde con la scienza in un viaggio che, chissa, magari vi portera alia seconda Stella a destra per andare dritti fino al mattino. The unbounded power of fantasy art meets the mystery and vastness of the heavens in this book. Constellations become indomitable dragons, while the stars themselves take the shape of warriors, knights and fierce maidens: the Dragon's companions. Lore becomes one with legend, and fantasy merges with astronomy. This book is a journey that connects the eternity of the night sky with the timeless inheritance of our imagination. Paolo Barbieri

Dickens Charles David Copperfield
Dickens wrote of David Copperfield: 'Of all my books I like this the best'. Millions of readers in almost every language on earth ha\'e subsequently come to share the author's own enthusiasm for this greatly loved classic, possibly because of its autobiographical form. Following the life of David through many sufferings and great adversity, the reader will also find many light-hearted moments in the company of a host of English fiction's greatest stars including Mr Mieawber, Traddles, Uriah Heep, Greakle, Betsy Trotwood, and the Peggotty family. Few readers, arriving at the end of David Copperfield, will not wish to echo Thackeray's famous praise, having read the first monthly part - 'Bravo Dickens'.

Chapman Emma First Light. Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time
Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the Universe's history, from recording the afterglow of the Big Bang to imaging thousands of galaxies, and even to visualising an actual black hole. There's a lot for astronomers to be smug about. But when it comes to understanding how the Universe began and grew up we are literally in the dark ages. In effect, we are missing the first one billion years from the timeline of the Universe. This brief but far-reaching period in the Universe's history, known to astrophysicists as the 'Epoch of Reionisation', represents the start of the cosmos as we experience it today. The time when the very first stars burst into life, when darkness gave way to light. After hundreds of millions of years of dark, uneventful expansion, one by the one these stars suddenly came into being. This was the point at which the chaos of the Big Bang first began to yield to the order of galaxies, black holes and stars, kick-starting the pathway to planets, to comets, to moons, and to life itself. Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this book sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today. She also offers a first-hand look at the immense telescopes about to come on line to peer into the past, searching for the echoes and footprints of these stars, to take this period in the Universe's history from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of observational astronomy.
