Irrigate i campi
siete le prime
la vostra acqua
gli piacerà.
Acqua che scorre
attraverso il campo
bagna la terra
vita gli dai.
AMORE
Raccolta di poesie dedicate alla pioggia e alle sensazioni che essa provoca sugli uomini, gli animali e tutte le cose del nostro mondo.
JUAN MOISES DE LA SERNA, Dottore in Psicologia e professore universitario, relatore e divulgatore scientifico. Viaggiatore instancabile, che gli ha permesso di entrare in contatto con culture diverse come quella degli aborigeni australiani, o degli inuit canadesi, per conoscere le varie motivazioni che spingono gli umani a reagire e a comportarsi in situazioni diverse creando le basi per rifletterlo nei suoi scritti. Il lettore è coinvolto fin dal primo momento in un'atmosfera di riflessione personale, poiché gli eventi più sconosciuti che ognuno di noi può affrontare in un dato momento si verificano.

WHAT MAKES A CANDLE BURN?
Solid wax is somehow changed into light and heat. But how? Travel back in time to December 28, 1848 in London, England to one of the most famous juvenile science Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution. British scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) encouraged kids to carefully observe a candle and to try to figure out how it burned. Known as one of the best science experimenters ever, Faraday’s passion was always to answer the basic questions of science: “What is the cause? Why does it occur?”
Since Faraday’s lecture, “The Chemical History of a Candle,” was published in 1861, it’s never been out of print. Oddly, till now, it’s never been published as a children’s picture book. Faraday originally gave seven lectures on how a candle burns. Pattison has adapted the first 6000-word lecture to about 650 words for modern elementary students.
In 1915, British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington was fascinated with Einstein’s new theory of general relativity. The theory talks about how forces push and pull objects in space. Einstein said that the sun’s gravity could pull and bend light.
To test this, astronomers decided to photograph a solar eclipse. The eclipse would allow them to photograph the stars before and during the solar eclipse. If the star’s position moved, then it was evidence that that light had bent. Eddington and his team traveled from England to the island of Principe, just off the African coast, to photograph the eclipse.
In simple language, this nonfiction illustrated picture book explains how the push (acceleration) and pull (gravity) of space affects light. Back matter includes information on Einstein, Eddington, and the original photograph of the 1919 solar eclipse.
'The text of the book is wonderfully clear and easy to follow, and the illustrations are great, both lively and informative. The story of the eclipse unfolds dramatically, and the science is explained vividly and correctly.' Daniel John Kennefick, Astrophysicist and Science Historian
