Il volume non è la semplice autobiografia di un italiano conosciuto in tutto il mondo, ma lo specchio del modo di pensare e vivere lo sport di questo notissimo arbitro. Oltre al profilo di un protagonista della vita pubblica italiana, si ha modo di conoscere un mestiere inconsueto e coinvolgente, una professione impegnativa tra "ragione e sentimento", le motivazioni che continuano a rendere stimolante la partecipazione intensa a un mondo che si sta rapidamente modificando.

By the early 1960s, the Ford Motor Company, built to bring automobile transportation to the masses, was falling behind. Young Henry Ford II, who had taken the reins of his grandfather's company with little business experience to speak of, knew he had to do something to shake things up. Baby boomers were taking to the road in droves, looking for speed not safety, style not comfort. Meanwhile, Enzo Ferrari, whose cars epitomized style, lorded it over the European racing scene. He crafted beautiful sports cars, "science fiction on wheels," but was also called "the Assassin" because so many drivers perished while racing them.Go Like Helltells the remarkable story of how Henry Ford II, with the help of a young visionary named Lee Iacocca and a former racing champion turned engineer, Carroll Shelby, concocted a scheme to reinvent the Ford company. They would enter the high-stakes world of European car racing, where an adventurous few threw safety and sanity to the wind. They would design, build, and race a car that could beat Ferrari at his own game at the most prestigious and brutal race in the world, something no American car had ever done.Go Like Helltransports readers to a risk-filled, glorious time in this brilliant portrait of a rivalry between two industrialists, the cars they built, and the "pilots" who would drive them to victory, or doom.

The modern cruising catamaran has arrived

The arguments are over and the verdict is in--cruising catamarans comprise a rapidly growing percentage of the cruising fleet worldwide. Their advantages of space, stability, speed, and handling under power are truly compelling, and modern cats are every bit as reliable as monohulls. This long overdue, in-depth guide will help you choose and cruise the right catamaran for your needs.

“An authoritative guide for novices and experienced sailors; the best book written on the subjects since the early 1990s.”--“Trimaran” Jim Brown, renowned multihull designer

“In Catamarans, Gregor Tarjan shares his enthusiasm for yachts with two hulls, based on years of sailing all types. An excellent introduction.”--Dick Newick, legendary catamaran and trimaran designer

“If you are contemplating spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a cruising catamaran, the small price of this book is probably the best investment you could possibly start with.”--from the Foreword by Charles K. Chiodi, publisher of Multihulls Magazine

L'autore indica le conoscenze basilari necessarie per apprendere e mettere in pratica l'arte dell'aikido. In questi ultimi anni l'aikido ha avuto un notevole sviluppo in tutto il mondo: i suoi praticanti si sono moltiplicati non solo in Giappone, ma a livello internazionale. L'elemento più importante che sta all'origine di questo fenomeno è certamente la filosofia dell'aikido, la quale, unitamente alla bellezza e alla molteplicità dei suoi movimenti, consente una pratica fisica e un arricchimento spirituale al medesimo tempo. La sensazione che esso dà di "essere uno con l'universo" è una delle più alte espressioni del budo giapponese. Secondo i principi dell'aikido, la forza e la tecnica, da sole, non sono sufficienti: il praticante deve entrare nel dominio dello spirito per sviluppare se stesso e il suo pensiero.
