Ce livre propose une approche douce et naturelle pour apprendre le portugais brésilien, spécialement adaptée aux francophones. Plutôt que des listes de vocabulaire ou des règles abstraites, il utilise des histoires courtes et des mises en situation pour familiariser progressivement le lecteur avec la langue. Les textes, simples et ancrés dans le quotidien, décrivent des scènes variées : un réveil en retard, la préparation d’un café traditionnel, ou une balade à vélo en bord de mer. Chaque histoire est accompagnée d’une traduction en français, facilitant l’association entre les deux langues.

Tra passione e fanatismo, la violenza nelle curve e i legami segreti con le organizzazioni mafiose. Un fenomeno come quello degli ultrà in Italia non ha eguali nel resto dEuropa. Organizzati e violenti, molti di questi gruppi si sono trasformati negli anni in vere e proprie bande criminali, coinvolte in episodi di bagarinaggio, spaccio di droga e omicidi. Come accade per gli hooligan in Inghilterra e i club di motociclisti americani, spesso la criminalità organizzata o l'ultradestra si sovrappongono agli ultrà.

New kid Mitch Sloan wants to fit in, but his nerdy love of statistics and making money isn't winning him any friends in his sports-loving town - until he finds the perfect way to attain instant popularity. But running a football betting ring at school eventually turns sour, and Mitch loses the only real friend he's made. He'll have to win her back by using his brainpower for good and helping the school football team achieve victory - if they'll listen to the advice of a former bookie!

One Sunday morning in 1993 a 16-year-old girl named Eliza Claps goes missing from a church in the centre of Potenza, Italy. Shortly before her disappearance, Elisa had met Danilo Restivo, a strange local boy with a fetish for cutting women's hair on the back of buses. Elisa's family are convinced that Resitvo is responsible for their daughter's disappearance, but he is protected by local bigwigs: by his Sicilian father, by a doctor with links to organised crime, by a priest who had vices of his own. Years go by, and Elisa's family can find only false leads.

Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more.

Italy's ultras are the most organised and violent fans in European football. Many groups have evolved into criminal gangs, involved in ticket-touting, drug-dealing and murder. A cross between the Hells Angels and hooligans, they're often the foot-soldiers of the Mafia and have been instrumental in the rise of the far-right. But the purist ultras say that they are insurgents fighting against a police state and modern football. Only amongst the ultras, they say, can you find belonging, community and a sacred concept of sport.
