Non è dopoguerra, è solo un'altra guerra. Ed è un mondo che sta nascendo. Dietro la divisione in blocchi, ideologie e frontiere si stanno sgretolando: merci e droga non conoscono confini. Dall'Italia a Mosca a Hollywood, tra balere, incontri di boxe ed espatri clandestini, vibra una folla di protagonisti, spinti da una corrente che li travolge e li supera, verso uno sbocco ignoto. Nuovi eretici, ex partigiani, narcotrafficanti, agenti segreti, figli in cerca di un padre si muovono e si sfiorano, inconsapevoli pedine di un grande disegno. Tra loro c'è Cary Grant, l'attore che da due anni non gira un film, il grande di umili origini la cui eleganza diventa il metro di misura della dignità personale, sull'orlo di un'onda che travolgerà tutto. Sui flutti, come la bara in Moby Dick, galleggia un misterioso televisore, simbolo di progresso tecnologico e di radioso avvenire... «Non chiedetemi come abbia fatto il clan Wu Ming a sferrare questo nuovo colpo. So soltanto che la loro miscela di inusuale satira e oltraggioso burlesque è frizzante come la bottiglia del miglior prosecco».

En 1775 les Iroquois de six tribus ainsi que les Écossais et Irlandais auxquels ils sont apparentés, voient avec inquiétude les tentatives de certains colons pour obtenir leur indépendance. Pour réaffirmer leur soumission au roi George, ils envoient à Londres une ambassade composée de Joseph l'interprète indien, du guerrier mohawk Grand diable, de Peter et de Molly la voyante.--[Memento]

This book explores the diverse types of Schrödinger equations that appear in nonlinear systems in general, with a specific focus on nonlinear transmission networks and Bose–Einstein Condensates. In the context of nonlinear transmission networks, it employs various methods to rigorously model the phenomena of modulated matter-wave propagation in the network, leading to nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. Modeling these phenomena is largely based on the reductive perturbation method, and the derived NLS equations are then used to methodically investigate the dynamics of matter-wave solitons in the network. In the context of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), the book analyzes the dynamical properties of NLS equations with the external potential of different types, which govern the dynamics of modulated matter-waves in BECs with either two-body interactions or both two- and three-body interatomic interactions. It also discusses the method of investigating both the well-posedness and the ill-posedness of the boundary problem for linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations and presents new results. Using simple examples, it then illustrates the results on the boundary problems. For both nonlinear transmission networks and Bose–Einstein condensates, the results obtained are supplemented by numerical calculations and presented as figures.

A writer embarks on an epic quest in search of his missing father's stolen bicycle and soon finds himself caught up in the strangely intertwined stories of Lin Wang, the oldest elephant who ever lived, the soldiers who fought in the jungles of South-East Asia during the Second World War and the secret worlds of the butterfly handicraft makers and antique bicycle fanatics of Taiwan. The Stolen Bicycle is both a majestic historical novel and a profound, startlingly intimate meditation on memory, family and home.
