Paperback. Condition: New. The importance of land transport vehicles within an armed force is often underestimated by the average reader, attracted by more 'martial' subjects such as tanks and artillery. Nevertheless, it was thanks to motorcycles, cars, trucks and tractors that - since the early years of the twentieth century - men, weapons, ammunition, provisions, fuel, equipment and orders were transported, all elements without which AFVs, guns and infantry are unable to fight. Volume 2 examines medium and heavy trucks, artillery tractors, special purpose vehicles and trailers. The main text is complemented with appendices on vehicle coloring and markings, manufacturers, production facts and further details.It is a common opinion that the Italian Army was beaten above all because of the poor quality of its combat vehicles. Impartial and in-depth studies, made since the end of the war, have revealed that the main problem was the shortage of vehicles, as well as an entirely insufficient logistics chain. The tank crews were able to compensate with bravery and experience for the fact that their tanks were, from a certain point on, inferior to those of their enemies, but the inadequate number of AFVs and other materiel was impossible to remedy. The same problem plagued the entire sector of military soft-skinned vehicles, a sign of Italy's limited industrial capacity (and of procurement of raw materials and components) compared, for example, to its ally Germany. There were too few factories, too few skilled workers, and poor management skills within the armed forces.models of efficient, robust and resistant vehicles were produced, especially in the sector of the so-called 'standardized' motor vehicles. These vehicles allowed the Italian troops to move and fight in the large and difficult territories of North Africa, the Balkans and the Soviet Union and brought home what was left of the defeated soldiers.This is the first English-language study describing the soft-skinned vehicles of the Italian Armed Forces, starting from the 1930s, when Mussolini's Italy faced some colonial conflicts and participated - albeit unofficially - in the Spanish Civil War, and throughout the Second World War. For each vehicle there is a file describing its evolution and the main technical aspects, accompanied by one or more photographs and, for the most significant examples, line drawings. The work is enriched by a historical introduction, various appendices and color profiles.

Condition: OTTIMO USATO. IED. Galápagos ITALIANO IL LIBRO à USATO, PERTANTO POTREBBE PRESENTARE LIEVI DIFETTI/IMPERFEZIONI. LA FOTO CORRISPONDE AL LIBRO IN VENDITA. Immobilizzato da anni nel suo letto, incapace di respirare se non grazie a una macchina, nell'autunno 2006 Piergiorgio Welby - malato di distrofia muscolare progressiva - rende pubblica con un appello diretto al presidente della Repubblica la sua richiesta di essere lasciato morire. Il dottor Mario Riccio, anestesista di Cremona, si assume la responsabilità di fare come Welby chiede: dopo averlo sedato, lo distacca dal respiratore artificiale che lo tiene in vita. Questo à il diario che Riccio ha tenuto durante i giorni della morte di Welby, nel dicembre 2006, e poi nei mesi successivi; à il suo punto di vista non solo sulla vicenda strettamente "medica", ma anche sull'aspro confronto che si à sviluppato in Italia fin dall'appello di Welby; ed à il resoconto dell'iter processuale cui Riccio à stato sottoposto, fino alla sentenza di proscioglimento. La giornalista Gianna Milano, dialogando con l'esperienza umana e professionale narrata da Riccio, ha realizzato un ricchissimo commentario al testo, un contrappunto che restituisce lo sfondo degli eventi in un percorso parallelo: la cronaca, il dibattito politico, bioetico e culturale, i documenti giudiziari che hanno contribuito a una maggior chiarezza su accanimento terapeutico, consenso o rifiuto delle terapie, diritto al morire, cure palliative, testamento biologico ed eutanasia.
