Описание: Are you a beginner who wants to learn Italian? Are you looking for a way to improve your vocabulary?
My name is Manuel di Gioia, I am Italian, and I introduce you to the "Resilient Learning Method".
In psychology, resilience is man's ability to face life's adversities, to overcome them and to emerge from them strengthened and even positively transformed.
In "Resilient Learning Method", resilience is the ability of a child to learn new words and to be able to compose new sentences. When a child is born, he or she does not know the language or the laws that govern it. No grammatical basis. A vocabulary composed of blank and empty pages. Yet, in a short time, a child begins to learn a language unknown to him. Word after word. Phrase after phrase.
A child, with knowledge of the basic phrases and an adequate number of words, is able to modify and combine them.
What are the two things that happen at the beginning when the child starts experimenting? The child starts to understand any sentence very well, even those that have a new logical construct. The child begins to express himself and, despite many understandable mistakes, still manages to make himself understood.
These are the two results I want you to achieve with this book
With the "Resilient Method" I have not invented anything new and in this book I present to you what is already under the eyes of all. The only difference, compared to a child, is that an adult is able to read and consequently to take advantage of visual memory.
Do you want to learn Italian?
Forget the difficult grammar rules or the many verbal conjugations.
Learning to speak Italian in a perfect and fluent way cannot be done in a few days or even in a few years.
Too hard. I'm telling you, as an Italian.
But it is possible in a short time to understand this beautiful language and also to be understood. You just need to approach Italian as a child.
Here are the three steps I propose in this book:
basic rules
more than 1000 sentences divided by topic with more than 5000 words, more than enough to communicate in a simple way
finally 10 short stories composed only of words present in the book
I'm gonna ask you the question again.
Do you want to learn Italian or improve your vocabulary?

Описание:
Luigi Gioia's Say it to God was chosen for the 2018 Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book--no mean feat for a first time author. In this new book, Gioia moves on to show the art of contemplation. But he points out from the start that contemplation is not a more advanced way of praying but a greater awareness of the presence of God. The defining mark of this awareness is that we become more and more aware of God's presence, a unique kind of inner peace and joy which has been described by spiritual authors with a variety of arresting and often poetic images.
What Gioia describes is not some kind of spiritual wonderland; for it does not dispense us from struggles and doubts and often the non-evidence of God. It brings a peace which coexists with doubt, a peace which can flourish in the middle of struggles, a joy that we can discover even in suffering.

Описание:
All societies have relied on music to transform the experience of work. Song accompanied the farmer's labors, calmed the herder's flock, and set in motion the spinner's wheel. Today this tradition continues. Music blares on the shop floor; song accompanies transactions in the retail store; the radio keeps the trucker going on the long-distance haul.
Now Ted Gioia, author of several acclaimed books on the history of jazz, tells the story of work songs from prehistoric times to the present. Vocation by vocation, Gioia focuses attention on the rhythms and melodies that have attended tasks such as the cultivation of crops, the raising and lowering of sails, the swinging of hammers, the felling of trees. In an engaging, conversational writing style, he synthesizes a breathtaking amount of material, not only from songbooks and recordings but also from travel literature, historical accounts, slave narratives, folklore, labor union writings, and more. He draws on all of these to describe how workers in societies around the world have used music to increase efficiency, measure time, relay commands, maintain focus, and alleviate drudgery.
At the same time, Gioia emphasizes how work songs often soar beyond utilitarian functions. The heart-wringing laments of the prison chain gang, the sailor’s shanties, the lumberjack’s ballads, the field hollers and corn-shucking songs of the American South, the pearl-diving songs of the Persian Gulf, the rich mbube a cappella singing of South African miners: Who can listen to these and other songs borne of toil and hard labor without feeling their sweep and power? Ultimately, Work Songs, like its companion volume Healing Songs, is an impassioned tribute to the extraordinary capacity of music to enter into day-to-day lives, to address humanity’s deepest concerns and most heartfelt needs.

When most Americans think of the first Thanksgiving, they think of the Pilgrims and the Indians in New England in 1621. But fifty-six years before the Pilgrims celebrated, Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez arrived on the coast of Florida and founded the first North American city, St. Augustine.
On September 8, 1565, the Spanish and the native Timucua celebrated with a feast of Thanksgiving. The Spanish most likely offered cocido, a rich stew made with pork, garbanzo beans, and onions. Perhaps the Timucua provided wild turkey or venison, or even alligator or tortoise, along with corn, beans, and squash.
Learn about our real first Thanksgiving. Learn about Spain and Florida in the 1560s. And make your own cocido from a recipe provided in this important and groundbreaking book.
