Here is the tool that was missing! An instruction manual to understand the mechanisms, rhythms

and needs of a new baby. There are indications to decipher gestures, sounds and tears, but also complete

instructions applicable to every area of baby’s first weeks of life.

This manual can be read from cover to cover, or as needed, based on necessity!

Paola Cerutti, a pediatrician, ensures that with this manual and a good dose of irony, even the most

insecure parents will find their balance and be in control. Doctor’s orders!

excerpt:

General information about the Newborn Baby:

A small and apparently harmless mammal that, etymologically at least, has just arrived on this planet, but

actually originates in who knows what remote depths of space-time, the infant of the human species is

that creature which, despite itself, concludes its blissful fetal existence at the moment of birth.

Yet this event, which defines this being and conventionally establishes its beginning, actually

corresponds to a mere transfer into our midst of this AMAZING PRODUCT of our incredible

stubbornness to reproduce! Don’t be fooled by its innocent expression and soft curves: it will steal your

heart and we don’t suggest doing anything to prevent this.

But improper use of the Newborn Baby can cause serious damage. Though small, this product

possesses boundless potential. It’s unwise to approach Newborn Baby with a superficial attitude. Every

man and woman who has anything to do with Newborn Baby, and with the child into which Newborn

Baby will silently be transformed, will be unable to avoid discovering, step by step, a whole world with

which he or she was unfamiliar. A world we no longer remembered. In fact, recent and prestigious

pseudo-scientific research on this REFINED, HANDCRAFTED HUMAN PRODUCT has discovered that

many of you, many of us, perhaps everyone, even those who’ve never had and never will have a Newborn

Baby, have a Newborn Baby inside of them.

Because that’s exactly what we all once were. Learning more about Newborn Baby might even tell

you a little more about yourself.

Impariamo a Mangiare / Learning to Eat Together: the Margherita Method Author: L. Nastri, J. Pagani, A. Vania Pages: 240 Size: 14 x 21.5 cm Binding: hardcover with flaps Illustrations: black and white Price: € 16,50 Imprint: Varia Giunti, Giunti Editore Publication Date: September 2018 First print run: 4,000 copies Partial English translation: available International rights: available

The lack of some nutrients early on (from conception to 2 years of age), as well as the excess of

other nutrients, plays a crucial role in “programming” the functions of organs and systems in a child, and

thus determines their biological existence in all the successive phases of life. For this reason it is essential

to have clear ideas about nutrition in first very important 1,000 days of life.

Via a plan that takes the form of a daisy (margherita in Italian), a pediatric expert, a nutritionist,

and a talented chef propose a solution that will lay the foundation for healthy eating for years to come.

This method contains all of the general elements needed for a healthy diet for your baby. The

four petal-plan is very rational: focus is given to the central and lateral areas of nutrition, and even

elements to avoid.

excerpt:

The “daisy” that gives our method its name ideally represents all the main components of a

balanced meal for a baby, from the weaning period until 2 years of age. The four petals represent

proteins, carbohydrates, fats and fibers. The center of the flower reminds us of the great importance of

iron, and the stem about the essential role of water. Lastly, the leaves contain two “no’s”: no to sugar and

no to salt.

The relation between food quality, the amount eaten, health, and disease prevention is

increasingly at the center of the contemporary scientific debate, confirming that German philosopher

Ludwig Feuerbach wasn’t far off when he stated in 1862 that “Man is eat what he eats.” To grow up in the

best possible way, we have to eat correctly. The man or woman we become, in fact, is largely established

by what we eat in the very first part of our life. But how is it that nutrition in the first 2 years of life can

influence our health of as adults? And how can the first 1,000 days of a child’s gastronomic life “program”

his or her future to such an extent?

A child’s precocious development is thus the result of the interaction between individual

biological characteristics and the environment into which he or she is born, lives and grows in the first

few years. The first phases of life condition an individual’s “biological” existence. Malnutrition or

nutritional excess can negatively influence medium and long-term health.

Dieci lezioni sulle emozioni: cosa provano gli adolescenti e come aiutarli a scoprirlo con noi / 10 Lessons on Emotions: what adolescents feel and how to help them understand their feelings Author: Enrico Castelli Gattinara Pages: 240 Size: 14 x 21.5 cm Binding: hardcover with flaps Illustrations: none Price: € 14,00 Imprint: Varia Giunti, Giunti Editore Publication Date: September 2018 First print run: 4,000 copies Partial English translation: available International rights: available

An exploration of adolescence in ten emotions, to better understand children in this transition

age and to accompany them in the best possible way towards maturity.

This volume is also a compelling discussion on the relationship between adults and children, on

mutual respect for roles, on the indispensable value of listening, the illusion of equality, the deception of

false friendship, and the search for the right amount of space in a relationship.

A story that unwinds in stages and which invites adults to accompany children on their path to

understanding and wisdom, which leads to the final and desired destination of serenity.

excerpt:

The correct distance allows us to avoid confusing our roles, our spaces, and our experiences. It

allows us to avoid confusing our age. It allows us to preserve the dissimilarity that is the sole guarantee of

a genuine exchange and growth, of a relationship and respect.

It isn’t easy to maintain this distance, because for them it doesn’t exist, it’s impermanent, or they’d

like to get nullify it completely (only to then, perhaps, go and create an ever greater one). They want

everything, immediately, because they’re in a hurry to grow up, starved for life and emotions. And they

try to involve us, move us, seduce us any way they can. They absorb energy from wherever they find it.

And in doing so they strike our hidden chords, they evoke our dormant emotions and experiences, the

fact that we ourselves were once the same way, and – in certain criminal or pathetically dramatic cases –

the illusion of being able to relive the experiences of that age.

In discussing adolescence, psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto has used the image of the molting

lobster, which during that brief period must get by without its protective shell. More vulnerable than

ever. And, perhaps for that very reason, adolescents are capable – at least unconsciously – of working

their way inside the cracks in our solidity. Given their heightened sensibility, they’re able to grasp our

adult weaknesses and provoke them. They’re curious to do so, unaware of the potential consequences, at

times perfidiously impatient to see what will happen.

Enrico Castelli, protagonist of “School of Happiness,” the docu-fiction produced by Sky TV and directed by Walter

Veltroni, showed the public the emotional education process in his class, a second grade class at the Giuseppe

Mazzini school in Rome. He positioned himself as a professor “outside the box” who was able to create spaces of free

dialogue between adults and children and to put them in touch and dealing gracefully with the delicate moment of

adolescence that must be explored and understood, in order to help parents and children grow together in harmony.

Cervello. Manuale dell’utente / The Brain: a simplified manual to the world’s most complex machine Author: Marco Magrini Pages: 240 Size: 14 x 21.5 cm Binding: soft cover with flaps Illustrations: none Price: € 14,00 Imprint: Varia Giunti, Giunti Editore Publication Date: September 2017 Copies sold: 10,000 copies Complete English translation: available International rights – 7 editions sold: UK (Short Books), France (Marie Claire), Portugal (Saida de Emergencia), Poland (JK), Russia (AST), Turkey (Indigo), China (Beijing United Publishing) We have a user’s manual for all the machines we possess, except for the most important one.

After this illumination, Marco Magrini wrote a book about the human brain, adapting it as if it were a manual for a washing machine or any other common household appliance. The metaphor is clearly evident in the book’s chapter titles, such as Installation, Operation, Control Panel, Expansions or End-of-life. A humorous tone, as in the comparison between the Model F ™ (female) and Model M ™ (male) brains, makes this a manual that everyone with a brain can enjoy.

The brain is not a machine, yet every user of a human brain should know more about its components, the mechanisms and the biological gears that make it work. And it is the right time to do so: even though humans are far from fully comprehending their own brains, the enormous advances made by neuroscience in recent years have shed light on the counterintuitive and unexpected wonders of this unusual machine.

“They are admirably described in this book,” MIT professor Tomaso Poggio writes in the afterword, “which also happens to be fun.”

excerpt:

Not only does no one know exactly how the brain functions, but there is not even a consensus on what the brain really is. Neither is there any agreement on consciousness, the brain’s most astounding feature, a feature that has sparked centuries of misunderstanding and furious debate and not only among theologians and philosophers. For example, there is no unanimous agreement on the so-called frequent loss of consciousness that is sleep: there are more than twenty different theories as to why the brain needs to ‘sleep’ (while it actually continues to operate the entire time). For that matter, there is no consensus about the nature of sleep disorders nor regarding some of the most unwelcome consequences, such as depression. Surprisingly, although you may have guessed by now, there is no common approach or general consensus about depression. And we could go on like this, listing examples, ad infinitum. And yet, looking on the bright side, we do know many things about the brain.

The first philosophers wondered if the mind resided in the brain or in the heart, with respected figures such as Aristotle being inclined to choose the latter. Today we know that the brain is the control center of the nervous system in all vertebrates and for most invertebrate animals. We know how it evolved. We know what it is made of. We know it preserves the genetic code in each and every cell, and we are capable of reading it. We have new technologies such as fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), which allow us to observe cognition as it happens. We are advancing at a breakneck pace in the discoveries of brain function, in the mapping of the so-called connectome (the set of connections in the brain), and in a retrospective understanding of the entire system.

The instruction manual for a refrigerator is compiled by the manufacturer. With the brain, the result of millions of years of evolution, only the reverse-engineering compiled by generations and generations of human brains can gradually dissolve the mystery. It is intelligence trying to understand itself, as if this were the inevitable evolution of evolution.

A comprehensive manual of all that we know, or think we know, about the brain, would be incomprehensively large and only a neuroscientist would be able to understand it. This manual you hold in your hands, however, is made for the day-to-day use of the human brain. It is a collection of simplifications of the most complex thing that exists, but – hopefully – it is also handy and beneficial in its everyday use.

“If the human brain were so simple to understand, we would be so simple that we could not ourselves understand it,” says a famous quote, so famous that is attributed to at least three different authors.* (*Lyall Watson? George Edgin Pugh? Emerson M. Pugh? Ken Hill?) Marco Magrini, 60, a journalist, writes about science and technology. He claims to be a descendant of Giovanni Villani, a chronicler in medieval Florence. After 24 years as a senior correspondent with the Italian business daily Il Sole-24 Ore he now has a blog on the website of L’Espresso. He is a regular contributor to La Stampa and to Geographical, the magazine of the London Royal Geographical Society. www.magrini.net

Kakebo bebè: il metodo pratico per risparmiare e spendere bene quando arriva un bambino / Kakebo & Baby: the practical method for saving and spending well when baby comes along Author: Giorgia Cozza Pages: 192 Size: 14.5 x 19.5 cm Binding softcover with rounded corners Illustrations: color layout and illustrations Price: € 12,50 Imprint: Demetra, Giunti Editore Characters: approximately 180,000 First print run: 7,000 Publication Date: March 2018 International rights – 2 editions sold: Germany (Vemag), France (Marie Claire),

After the success of Kakebo, here is a new version for those who are welcoming a baby. This

accounting agenda allows you to review everything needed in order to welcome your new arrival and

implement exceptional saving strategies of 20-30%. There are specific spending categories for your child,

from diapers to baby wipes, from milk to baby food, from clothing to accessories, from medical visits to

visits to the pharmacy. The book also provides many practical tips for child care and for saving on

gadgets, accessories and food, month by month, until your child is two years old.

Giorgia Cozza is a journalist and mother of four children, who have offered her the opportunity and delight to experience the themes in the book Bebè a costo zero (Il Leone Verde 2010, then Mondadori 2012). She collaborates with the Natural Child website (www.bambinonaturale.it) – a website born out of the success of the series of books of the same name, published by Leone Verde Edizioni – to offer parents insights that can help them make mindful choices about food, health and the growth of their children. Giorgia Cozza is the author of numerous books on pregnancy, breastfeeding and maternity, as well as of children’s books.

Kakebo. L'agenda dei conti di casa per risparmiare e gestire le tue spese senza stress/ Kakebo: The Personal Budget Planner to Save Money with No Stress Pages: 192 Size: 14.5 x 19.5 cm Binding: softcover with rounded corners Illustrations: color layout and illustrations Price: € 9,90 Imprint: Demetra, Giunti Editore Characters: approximately 80,883 Copies sold: 45,000 copies Publication Date: September 2016 International rights – 6 editions sold: USA (HarperCollins), Spain (PRH), Germany (Vemag), France (Marie Claire), Poland (Olesiejuk), Hungary (Kossuth)

Kakebo is the tool with which the Japanese manage their personal budgets. Laid out like a diary in

which to record earnings and expenses, one can reflect on spending habits and save up to 30%.

The book enables monitoring of domestic accounts by dividing them into four main categories:

primary needs (food, personal hygiene, children); optionals (shopping, cosmetics, gifts); culture and free

time (restaurants, books, entertainment); extras/unforeseeables (travel, repairs, etc.) At the beginning of

the month one calculates the fixed income and expenditures and establishes a savings objective on the

basis of a budget. With the balance at the end of the month one identifies where adjustments can be

made.

The book also offers practical motivating tips to improve and reach the end of the year with a

satisfying balance. Kakebo goes beyond saving: it helps to develop self-awareness, self-discipline and self-

esteem, reducing stress and promoting peace of mind.

The layout is for a two-year calendar and is perpetual; it can be started at any moment of the year.

A complete course for studying calligraphy and creating texts. Barbara Calzolari has specifically

created images on a 1:1 scale for perfect mastery of this art. excerpt:

“The advantages provided by computers and technological tools are an undeniably precious asset, but they do not exclude the values of calligraphy, indeed, by contrast they enhance them. Far from the demands for speed imposed by daily life, in hand writing we find a rhythm that comes more naturally to us. Its motions are closely linked to each individual; it is a moment of expression performed slowly in a controlled movement or in an impromptu gesture that leaves a trace of our presence.” Barbara Calzolari is one of the top calligraphy artists in the world. She has recently held workshops in the United States, UK and Asia.

Un punto di svolta nella storia dell’arte cinese avvenne quando il Primo imperatore Qin Shi Huangdi (nato con il nome di Ying Zheng), fondatore della dinastia Qin (221-206 a.C.), attuò diverse riforme, compresa quella della scrittura alla quale dette nome zhuan, anche se oggi ignoriamo il perché di questa scelta. La scrittura zhuan (data l’intraducibilità del suo nome in Occidente è convenzionalmente, ma erroneamente, chiamata “scrittura sigillare”) è caratterizzata da una ricerca formale di elevato livello estetico: i suoi caratteri sono alti, slanciati, con ritmi perfetti, e sono costituiti da tratti sottili dallo spessore uniforme e curvati armonicamente; esprime il culmine artistico raggiunto nell’evoluzione della scrittura dalle origini. La sua realizzazione però è lenta e richiede molta attenzione, di conseguenza nei

documenti non formali si iniziò spontaneamente a velocizzarne l’esecuzione piegando ad angolo le curve e non facendo caso all’uniformità dello spessore dei tratti; era nata la scrittura scrivani, cosi detta perché il suo aspetto era frutto del lavoro quotidiano di questi umili impiegati. Il suo apogeo stilistico avvenne, come scrittura ufficiale dell’impero, durante gli Han orientali (25-220): i caratteri si abbassarono allargandosi, mostrando un grande vigore, e i loro tratti venivano eseguiti con complesse manovre del pennello che davano al tratto fisionomie e spessori molto diversificati. La formalizzazione della scrittura scrivani portò a sua volta lentezza e attenzione alle regole della scrittura, per cui in privato e in documenti non ufficiali si iniziò ad ammorbidirne l’aspetto e a collegare

Today, Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (MICI) are increasingly common, and the number

of people with unrecognized intestinal disorders is constantly increasing.

The purpose of this volume is to clarify symptoms, diagnoses, therapies and treatments, and propose a

food program to alleviate discomfort and preserve intestinal health.

Guidelines on elimination diets are provided, such as the low-lactose diet, the low-fiber diet, the liquid

diets, the prebiotic-based diets and probiotics.

This volume also illustrates an anti-inflammatory diet for the intestine, with advice and strategies

to promote daily well-being: which foods to increase, which to reduce, and how to avoid nutritional

deficiencies.

In addition, there are seven examples of daily menus and 35 recipes to experiment with in the

kitchen, to make food an ally of our intestine.

Silvio Danese is the head of the Center for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases of the Intestine of Humanitas Research
