Il corpo di tre quarti, la gamba destra piegata all’indietro, il tacco che colpisce il pallone e manda fuori tempo gli avversari. Se si potesse fermare la carriera di Roberto Mancini in un attimo, riassumerla in un solo gesto, sarebbe questo. Una vita calcistica trascorsa all’insegna del colpo a effetto, con un bagaglio tecnico sterminato e una personalità dirompente, quella che gli ha permesso di vincere trofei con la Sampdoria, compreso uno scudetto che rappresenta una delle ultime grandi imprese del calcio italiano, e la Lazio.

Questo volume illustrato è quanto di più simile a un'autobiografia potrei mai concepire, perché il calcio è stata anche una splendida scusa per vedere il mondo, e più i luoghi in cui mi mandavano si scostavano dai percorsi tradizionali, meglio mi trovavo... Ne ho visti a centinaia di stadi, e di ciascuno ricordo un particolare, che sia una scalinata, una sala stampa o una tettoia cadente. Tutti gli stadi assolvono alla stessa funzione, ma non ce n'è uno uguale a un altro. Sono come persone. Ti sorprendono. Ti stancano. Ti fanno battere il cuore.

Originell, faszinierend, abenteuerlich: Ein Journalist auf der Suche nach dem letzten Geheimnis des Sports. Seine Passion: Das Laufen, sein Beruf: Das Schreiben. Christopher McDougall suchte eine Antwort auf eine vermeintlich einfache Frage: Warum tut mir mein Fuß weh? Wie er sind Millionen von Hobbyläufern mindestens einmal im Jahr ernsthaft verletzt. Nach unzähligen Zyklen des Dauerschmerzes, der Kortisonspritzen und immer neuer Hightech-Sportschuhen stand McDougall kurz davor, zu kapitulieren und die Diagnose der Mediziner ein für alle Mal hinzunehmen: "Sie sind einfach nicht zum Laufen gemacht." Stattdessen hat sich der Journalist weit abseits der kostspieligen Empfehlungen von Ärzten und Ausrüstern auf eine abenteuerliche Reise zu den geheimnisvollsten und besten Läufern der Welt begeben.

Jackson rápidamente fue bautizado como el "Maestro Zen" por los periodistas deportivos, pero ese apodo lo único que hizo fue redundar en una verdad absoluta: la de un entrenador que inspiraba pero no provocaba, que lideraba a través de despertar retos continuamente en todos y cada uno de sus jugadores para erradicar en cada uno de ellos sus egos, miedos e iras.

Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life.

From fields, feasts, and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs, and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand.
