Il ritiro delle truppe americane da Kabul rappresenta il momentaneo epilogo della Guerra al Terrore cominciata con gli attentati dell’11 settembre. Quel giorno, insieme alle Torri Gemelle, crollarono le certezze di milioni di persone. Pochi mesi dopo Valeria Castellani ruppe gli indugi e partì alla volta dell’Afghanistan per collaborare con una ONG. Per lei arrivare a Kandahar significò varcare il confine tra il mondo libero e quello governato dalla sharia, ovvero la legge islamica perseguita dai talebani: un combinato disposto di povertà, fanatismo e diritti negati che costituisce il terreno ideale in cui gettare il seme dell’odio nei confronti degli “infedeli” occidentali. Di donne schiacciate dal peso di burqa e pregiudizi Valeria ne aiutò tante, ma dopo aver conosciuto l’ipocrisia di certe organizzazioni umanitarie capì che aveva bisogno di esperienze più concrete. L’incontro con Paolo Simeone le chiarì ulteriormente le idee: dopo un’esperienza in Angola andarono in Iraq e fu proprio a Bassora che Valeria decise di compiere un altro importante passo: diventare contractor e occuparsi della sicurezza di civili per conto del dipartimento della Difesa degli Stati Uniti d’America. Imbracciare un’arma, vivere ogni giorno mettendo in conto che poteva essere l’ultimo e respirare l’odore acre della guerra: furono anni in prima linea, durante i quali Valeria lavorò con Fabrizio Quattrocchi che, urlando in faccia ai suoi carnefici “Vi faccio vedere come muore un italiano”, dimostrò il valore di professionisti che non meritavano di essere definiti con disprezzo – e in maniera del tutto inappropriata – mercenari. Valeria Castellani, nata a Jesolo nel 1974 e cresciuta a Vicenza, si laurea in Giurisprudenza all’Università degli Studi di Bologna. Inizia subito dopo un percorso professionale insolito, che la conduce prima ad approfondire le tematiche legali del mondo aziendale, poi a scoprire cosa c’è fuori dal mondo ovattato in cui vive. Dal 2002 sceglie incarichi in Afghanistan, Angola e Iraq, dove la sua carriera svolta verso il mondo della security operativa tra ONG e US Department of Defense e dove si confronta con quella che è stata chiamata War on Terror – Guerra al terrorismo. Rientrata con difficoltà nel mondo civile dal quale si era staccata, si dedica alla security aziendale, dove ha ricoperto e ricopre tutt’oggi il ruolo di security manager per multinazionali nel mondo del lusso.

This is the first multi-volume collection of major writings on cultural anthropology, the sub-field of anthropology which is concerned with how people in different places live and understand the world around them. It covers key methodologies (participant observation, ethnography) and topics (kinship, ritual, values) and maps the development of the field from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century through to recent and current debates on the 'critique of anthropology' and the rise of new methodologies such as multi-sited research. The four volumes are arranged thematically and each is separately introduced. Drawing upon essays from anthropology and related disciplines, the volumes together chart the origins of the field, explore its core theories and methods, and trace the proliferation of sub-fields that it has generated, including anthropology of art, urban anthropology, medical anthropology and the anthropology of gender and sexuality. With key texts from James George Frazer, Lewis Henry Morgan, Bronislaw Malinowski, Franz Boas, Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, Lucy Mair, Claude Levi Strauss, Melford Spiro, Marshall Sahlins, Laura Nader, Maurice Godelier, David Graeber, Suad Joseph and many more, this set is an essential resource for scholars and students of the subject.

Examining all the major research data since the 1940s, this book challenges two orthodox medical models: HIV as the cause of AIDS, and random genetic mutations as the cause of cancer. Based on the recent findings from Evolutionary Biology and Nitric Oxide research, it presents a fundamentally new understanding of the human cell, its double genome split between the cell nucleus and the mitochondria, and the role of energy production and signal modulation for immune reactions and carcinogenesis. Finally, it explains the concept of a new Cell Symbiosis Therapy® for the treatment of all chronic diseases, including cancer. Now available in English for the first time, this book is a must-read for doctors, patients and anyone following the cutting edge of biology and immunology. With the blasting open of such doors of knowledge, the medical world will never again be the same. Heinrich Kremer, MD, Medical Director Emeritus was, from 1968-1975, head of social therapy for addicts, sexual offenders and people with personality disorders at the Berlin Tegel prison which was the pilot project for the reform of the German penal system. In 1988 he resigned as medical director of a model clinic specializing in youth drug addiction due to differences on medical ethics regarding the HIV test and AIDS therapy. From 1993-1999 as collaborating member of the Study Group for Nutrition and Immunity (Bern) he investigated together with Prof. Alfred Hässig the mechanisms occurring in AIDS defining illnesses and in cancer. Since the publication of this book in German in 2001 he has been in demand as a lecturer on the treatment of chronic diseases, working today as senior consultant in a growing medical network for Cell Symbiosis Therapy®.

Up until now the dominant view of condensed matter physics has been that of an ?electrostatic MECCANO? (erector set, for Americans). This book is the first systematic attempt to consider the full quantum-electrodynamical interaction (QED), thus greatly enriching the possible dynamical mechanisms that operate in the construction of the wonderful variety of condensed matter systems, including life itself.A new paradigm is emerging, replacing the ?electrostatic MECCANO? with an ?electrodynamic NETWORK,? which builds condensed matter through the long range (as opposed to the ?short range? nature of the usual electrostatic forces) electrodynamical interaction; this interaction creates ?coherent configurations? of the elementary systems (atoms and molecules), which oscillate in phase with a coherent macroscopic (and classical) electromagnetic field that, through the strong interaction with matter, remains trapped inside it.

This groundbreaking book argues that adolescence is an unnecessary period of life that people are better off without. Robert Epstein, former editor-in-chief of "Psychology Today," shows that teen turmoil is caused by outmoded systems put into place a century ago which destroyed the continuum between childhood and adulthood. Where this continuum still exists in other countries, there is no adolescence. Isolated from adults, American teens learn everything they know from their media-dominated peers--"the last people on earth they should be learning from," says Epstein. Epstein explains that our teens are highly capable--in some ways more capable than adults--and argues strongly against "infantilizing" young people. We must rediscover "the adult in every teen," he says, by giving young people adult authority and responsibility as soon as they can demonstrate readiness. This landmark book will change the thinking about teens for decades to come.

Kabul, 1979. A student wakes in an unfamiliar house, battered and bruised. He gradually recovers his mind to discover that returning from a night out he was brutally attacked by soldiers and left to die. Farhad, the tragic hero of this nightmarish tale, realises that he can now never return home: to do so would be to risk the lives of his family. As he waits for an answer to his plight he learns the tragic story of the woman who has saved him, endangering her own life in the process, and begins to feel an impossible and forbidden love for her - a love that embodies an angry compassion for the suffering of Afghanistan's women, and the yearning for a lost home.
