Giovane, curioso, fresco di laurea in economia, Phil Knight prende a prestito cinquanta dollari dal padre e crea un'azienda con un obiettivo semplice: importare dal Giappone scarpe da atletica economiche ma di ottima qualità. Vendendole dal bagagliaio della sua Plymouth Valiant, nel 1963, il primo anno di attività, Knight incassa ottomila dollari. Oggi le vendite della Nike superano i trenta miliardi di dollari all'anno. In un'epoca di start-up, la Nike di Knight è la pietra di paragone, e il suo swoosh ben più di un semplice logo. Simbolo di grandezza e leggiadria, è una delle poche icone riconosciute istantaneamente in ogni angolo del mondo. Knight, l'uomo dello swoosh, è però sempre stato un mistero. Ora, finalmente, ci racconta la sua storia in un libro di memorie sorprendente, umile, sincero e divertente. Tutto comincia con il classico momento di svolta. A ventiquattro anni, zaino in spalla, parte per un viaggio che attraversa Asia, Europa e Africa, affronta le grandi domande della vita e decide che l'unica strada per lui è un percorso al di fuori dei binari convenzionali. Non vuole lavorare per una grande azienda, quindi realizzerà qualcosa di suo, che sia nuovo, dinamico, diverso. Knight parla degli enormi rischi che ha affrontato nel suo cammino, delle umilianti battute d'arresto, dei concorrenti senza scrupoli, dei tanti che dubitavano di lui e lo avversavano, dell'ostilità delle banche, ma anche dei trionfi entusiasmanti e delle volte che se l'è cavata per un soffio. Ma ricorda soprattutto i rapporti fondamentali che hanno forgiato il cuore e l'anima della Nike: quello con il suo ex allenatore, l'irascibile e carismatico Bill Bowerman, e con i suoi primi dipendenti, un gruppo eterogeneo di genialoidi diventato ben presto una confraternita di appassionati dello swoosh. Insieme, imbrigliando la carica elettrizzante di una visione audace e la fiducia condivisa nella forza trasformatrice dello sport, hanno creato un marchio, e una cultura, che hanno cambiato ogni cosa.

In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands. Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.” Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything.

In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. Candid, humble, wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he decided to start his own business. He details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream - along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls how his first band of partners and employees soon became a tight-knit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything. A memoir rich with insight, humour and hard-won wisdom, this book is also studded with lessons - about building something from scratch, overcoming adversity, and ultimately leaving your mark on the world.

“This book, a young reader’s edition of Knight’s autobiography, is an eye-opening look into the story of Knight before his multibillion dollar company. His tenacity is inspiring and will be a valuable lesson for young entrepreneurs.” —School Library Journal “Knight writes from the heart in this young adult version of his 2016 adult memoir. The book takes readers from the beginning of his dream…to the creation of the internationally known, uber-successful Nike brand. Shoe Dog reads like a great story about how an ambition turned into a business, while at the same time it serves as a guide for accomplishing great things.” —VOYA In this young readers edition of the New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), opening up about how he went from being a track star at an Oregon high school to the founder of a brand and company that changed everything. You must forget your limits. It was only when Nike founder Phil Knight got cut from the baseball team as a high school freshman that his mother suggested he try out for track instead. Knight made the track team and he found he could run fast and even more he liked it. Ten years later, young and searching, Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high quality running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car to start, he and his gang of friends and runners built one of the most successful brands ever. Phil Knight encountered risks and setbacks along the way, but always followed his own advice. Just keep going. Don’t stop. Whatever comes up, don’t stop. Filled with wisdom, humanity, humor, and heart, the young readers edition of the bestselling Shoe Dog is a story of determination that inspires all who read it. The Young Reader’s Edition is an abridged version of the internationally bestselling adult book and it features original front matter and back matter, including a new introduction and “A Letter to the Young Reader” containing advice from Phil Knight for budding entrepreneurs.

Vittoria Colonna (1490-1547) was the genre-defining secular woman writer of Renaissance Italy, whose literary model helped to establish a decorous and wholly assimilated voice for women within the field of Italian literature. The Companion to Vittoria Colonna brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of leading scholars to assess Colonna’s contribution, both as a writer, a role model, and a contributor to important religious debates of the era. This book, while amply fulfilling the remit of providing a useful and comprehensive handbook to meet the needs of students and scholars at earlier and advanced levels, aims in addition to do more than this, by drawing into a single volume for the first time scholarship from across disciplines in which Vittoria Colonna’s influence has been felt, including literary criticism, religious history, history of art and music. Contributors are: Abigail Brundin, Stephen Bowd, Emidio Campi, Eleonora Carinci, Adriana Chemello, Virginia Cox, Tatiana Crivelli, Maria Forcellino, Gaudenz Freuler, Anne Piéjus, Diana Robin, Helena Sanson, and Maria Serena Sapegno.

For nearly three centuries Leonardo da Vinci's work was known primarily through the abridged version of his Treatise on Painting, first published in Paris in 1651 and soon translated into all the major European languages. Here for the first time is a study that examines the historical reception of this vastly influential text. This collection charts the varied interpretations of Leonardo's ideas in French, Italian, Spanish, English, German, Dutch, Flemish, Greek, and Polish speaking environments where the Trattato was an important resource for the academic instruction of artists, one of the key sources drawn upon by art theorists, and widely read by a diverse network of artists, architects, biographers, natural philosophers, translators, astronomers, publishers, engineers, theologians, aristocrats, lawyers, politicians, entrepreneurs, and collectors. The cross-cultural approach employed here demonstrates that Leonardo's Treatise on Painting is an ideal case study through which to chart the institutionalization of art in Europe and beyond for 400 years. The volume includes original essays by scholars studying a wide variety of national and institutional settings. The coherence of the volume is established by the shared subject matter and interpretative aim: to understand how Leonardo's ideas were used. With its focus on the active reception of an important text overlooked in studies of the artist's solitary genius, the collection takes Leonardo studies to a new level of historical inquiry. Leonardo da Vinci's most significant contribution to Western art was his interpretation of painting as a science grounded in geometry and direct observation of nature. One of the most important questions to emerge from this study is, what enabled the same text to produce so many different styles of painting?

"L'arte della guerra" è senza alcun dubbio il più importante trattato di strategia militare che sia mai stato scritto. Il suo autore è il leggendario Sun Tzu, generale vissuto in Cina molto probabilmente tra il sesto e il quinto secolo avanti Cristo. Nei tredici capitoli de "L'Arte della Guerra" il generale Sun Tzu analizza ogni aspetto della guerra con uno stile conciso ed essenziale che lo rende uno straordinario strumento per analizzare ogni ambito della società umana. È per questo che "L'Arte della Guerra" continua ad essere influente ancora oggi pur essendo stato scritto 2.500 anni fa: i suoi consigli infatti possono essere applicati all'economia, alla vita di coppia, alle relazioni di affari, al marketing, alla vita manageriale... a tutti gli ambiti in cui ci si debba confrontare con un potenziale "nemico", ovvero un soggetto esterno con cui dobbiamo negoziare un accordo o che dobbiamo superare per raggiungere un obiettivo. Non è un caso dunque se numerosi manager citano a memori interi passaggi de "L'Arte della Guerra", proprio come Gordon Gekko in una memorabile scena di Wall Street, il film-capolavoro diretto da Oliver Stone nel 1987. Tra i tanti generali e strateghi che nei secoli scorsi si sono ispirati a "L'Arte della Guerra" ricordiamo Carl von Clausewitz, Napoleone Bonaparte, Mao Tze Tung e Douglas MacArthur, ma anche scrittori e politologi come Niccolò Machiavelli. L'Esercito degli Stati Uniti, ancora oggi, include "L'Arte della Guerra" fra le opere che devono essere presenti nelle biblioteche di ogni singola unità, per la formazione continua del personale.

Oliver sapeva raccontare le storie in un modo davvero coinvolgente e aveva uno strano modo di farlo: parlava sempre come se fossi io il protagonista dei suoi racconti. Amava profondamente il mare ed io, appena potevo, correvo da lui ad ascoltare le sue storie. Una volta me ne raccontò una che non dimenticherò mai: parlava degli abissi e delle bizzarre forme di vita che li popolano. Mi fece vivere un’avventura che mi permise di scoprire le bellezze di questo mondo sconosciuto e di apprezzarne le infinite sfumature cogliendo quella sottile differenza che distingue l’impossibile dall’improbabile. L’IDEA RACCONTATA DALL’AUTORE “Tutto è iniziato da un piccolo problema di compensazione ad un orecchio che mi impediva di scendere nelle profondità del mare. Non potevo resistere, desideravo con tutte le forze tornare ad immergermi in apnea ma non potevo: i dottori mi dissero che avrei dovuto aspettare almeno 3 mesi. Era un tempo assolutamente troppo lungo così ho deciso di solcare le profondità con la fantasia visitando luoghi davvero incredibili. Alla fine ci sono voluti 8 mesi per finire il libro e altrettanti per tornare in mare, ma in fondo ne è valsa la pena. Il libro è stato un modo per ricordare e ordinare tutte le emozioni che il mare mi ha regalato e in più la prima volta che ho rimesso la testa sotto a quel manto blu incantato ho provato una sensazione davvero magica: mi sembrava una favola e probabilmente lo era e lo è ancora oggi.”

L'ARTE DELLA GUERRA è probabilmente il più famoso trattato di strategia militare al mondo. Scritto più di 2500 anni fa da Sun Tzu, generale dell'esercito di Wu, ha conosciuto una diffusione e una fortuna straordinarie. A farne una pietra miliare e una guida perfettamente attuale è l'attenzione ad aspetti fondamentali: la razionalità lucida con cui esaminare i mezzi e i fini; la lungimiranza con cui valutare e adottare le decisioni; l'adattabilità alle mutevoli condizioni dell'ambiente esterno. Tutti elementi strategici, validi al di là dell'orizzonte tecnico o temporale per cui fu scritto e anzi ancor più veri nello scenario odierno. Così nel corso dei secoli quest'opera è diventata un punto di riferimento per chi voglia imparare a competere, anche oltre il contesto militare. L'originale e accessibile percorso di lettura proposto da Buttignol riprende gli insegnamenti dello stratega cinese per applicarli con sorprendente pertinenza, alla luce di una esperienza dirigenziale lunga e di alto livello, al mondo del business di oggi: ne emergono l'assoluta modernità e l'assonanza con alcune delle più importanti teorie manageriali.
