In this small book, theoretical physicist Gerard 't Hooft (Nobel prize 1999), philosopher Emanuele Severino (Lincei Academician), and theologian Piero Coda (Pontifical Lateran University) confront one another on a topic that lies at the roots of quantum mechanics and at the origin of Western thought: Determinism and Free Will. "God does not play dice" said Einstein, a tenacious determinist. Quantum Mechanics and its clash with General Relativity have reanimated ancient dilemmas about chanc...

An emotion book that feels like a magic portal: a place where a child doesn’t just color pictures, but literally paints their inner world and learns to dance with every feeling, from stormy anger to sun-bright joy.Core conceptThis book is a guided emotional adventure, where each page in black and white becomes alive only when the child brings their own colors, stories, and feelings to it.Emotions are presented like a rainbow: some bright and playful, others soft or ...

In this adventurous story, the protagonists must face both physical and personal obstacles. The friendship between the Man of the Woods and the other characters is crucial in overcoming them, but it is also the rope that provides security during the descents into the mine. It is the bond that drives them to not leave anyone behind, so that everyone can change and become better people. Central to the story are values such as friendship, trust, and the desire to improve people’s lives. The c...

This report published by ISPI and the Brookings Institution analyzes the challenges to international order posed by the ongoing race for technological superiority. From artificial intelligence and quantum computing to hypersonic weapons and new forms of cyber and electronic warfare, advances in technology have threatened to make the international security environment more unpredictable and volatile – yet the international community remains unprepared to assess and manage that risk. What is...

This textbook explains comprehensively and in rigorous detail not only mainstream microeconomics, but also why many economists are dissatisfied with major aspects of it, and the alternative that they are exploring in response: the Classical-Keynesian-Kaleckian approach. This advanced yet user-friendly book allows readers to grasp the standard theory of consumers, firms, imperfect competition, general equilibrium, uncertainty, games and asymmetric information. Furthermore, it examines the c...

The last twenty years have witnessed tremendous advances in the mathematical, statistical, and computational tools available to applied macroeconomists. This rapidly evolving field has redefined how researchers test models and validate theories. Yet until now there has been no textbook that unites the latest methods and bridges the divide between theoretical and applied work.Fabio Canova brings together dynamic equilibrium theory, data analysis, and advanced econometric and computa...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are replacing human work, even in marketing, just as has happened in the past in other manufacturing sectors. Experts haven’t yet understood what is happening, and they continue to recommend the strategic marketing model. If marketing was an exact science then it may be reduced, with the scientific method, systemically and severely to observable and repeatable events which have precise and recognizable causes. So from these events could be devel...

What lies beyond the era of fossil fuels? While most answers focus on different primary energy resources, Energy Systems in the Era of Energy Vectors provides a completely new approach.Instead of providing a traditional consumption analysis of classical primary energy resources such as oil, coal, nuclear power and gas, Energy Systems in the Era of Energy Vectors describes and assesses energy technologies, markets and future strategies, focusing on their capacity t...

In The Answer For Everything, Fabio Santos presents the latest discoveries of traditional science by establishing relationships with the concepts of modern Spirituality in a work that can be used as a study guide, both for beginners and for those who are already familiar with the subject.Amid basic concepts of how the universe, our planet, the dimensions of reality, and how it all affects our lives today and now, complex subjects such as Quantum Mechanics and Sacred Geometry are ex...
