Paul Madriani, a brilliant criminal defense lawyer, had a once-promising career with a prestigious law-firm, until an ill-judged affair with the senior partner Ben Potter's wife led to his resignation. Now he scrambles for work amid the ghosts of his doomed affair and the remains of a failing marriage.\n\n\n\nThen Potter is found dead, an apparent suicide. But as details come to light, the case turns from suicide to murder and the needle of suspicion points towards the victim's seductive wife, Talia Potter. Indicted and arrested, Talia turns to Paul, her former lover, to defend her against the mounting evidence in a case that for her could result in the gas chamber

When Judge Armando 'The Coconut' Acosta is caught with a prostitute, few are sympathetic. Lawyer Paul Madriani has a long history of enmity with the judge and considers Acosta's arrest to be the consequence of a lifetime of corruption. Even when the call girl is found to be a beautiful police academy recruit and the entire case appears to be a set-up, Paul is still reluctant to step in and save the judge's career from impending doom. Then the police recruit is brutally killed and Acosta is charged with murder. \n\nLenore Goya, an ambitious defence lawyer, takes on Acosta's case and reluctantly Madriani is persuaded to come on board - they both know he owes her one. Together they uncover the shocking evidence, the ugly lies, the deceit and the corruption that are at the bottom of the most complex and terrifying murder trial of Madriani's career.

In the space of five days the college town of Davenport is rocked by four brutal murders: two couples - students - their bodies found tied and staked out on the banks of Putah Creek. Then two more bodies are discovered. This time the victims are Abbott Scofield, a distinguished member of the university faculty, and his former wife Karen. The police suspect Andre Iganovich, a Russian immigrant, but Paul Madriani thinks there is more to the case than meets the eye. Forensic reports on the physical evidence suggest lingering questions about the Russian's involvement in the Scofield killings, and Paul becomes increasingly convinced that the second murders are the product of a copy-cat killer - a cold and calculating murderer who has taken the lives of the Scofields for reasons that Paul is determined to uncover...

Il Padre Della Sposa (1991) Dvd Nuovo Steve Martin Diane Keaton Audio Italiano

“Non so proprio disegnare, sono uno dei pochi artisti che se fa un disegno su un pezzo di carta, quest’ultimo vale meno”. È da questa premessa che Steve Martin è dovuto partire per coronare un suo sogno: affrontare quella che lui stesso definisce “l’ultima frontiera della comicità”, ovvero il fumetto. Per tramite del magazine The New Yorker, del quale è stato a lungo una delle penne più divertenti, si mette così in contatto con l’iconico vignettista della rivista, Harry Bliss, che così elogia nella prefazione: “si è rivelato il partner ideale: raramente ci parliamo e viviamo in stati diversi”. Martin e Bliss per 6 mesi si dedicano a una gara di umorismo tra “pro” (sempre parole di Martin), che genera oltre 200 tavole e vignette, poi diventate il libro edito per l’Italia da Sagoma Editore (chi altri?!).“L’opulenza del piccione” è un vero condensato del folle umorismo dei suoi autori, ma varia enormemente, di vignetta in vignetta e di striscia in striscia, nello stile e nel tono: tra animali parlanti e alieni annoiati, si va dall’assurdo spinto alla futile stravaganza, fino ai contributi più meta-filosofici sul processo creativo e sulla natura elusiva e soggettiva della comicità.

Steve Martin è uno degli attori più famosi al mondo, ma la sua carriera non è solo legata al cinema. È un abile musicista, capace di vendere milioni di dischi. E non va dimenticata la sua abilità di scrittore per il New Yorker e il New York Times. Ma la sua attività principale resta il cinema. L'ultima sua fatica è il sequel del remake della Pantera Rosa. A metà degli anni Settanta, Steve Martin esplose nel mondo dello stand-up, genere teatrale americano in cui un comico, da solo, in piedi davanti al microfono, affronta il pubblico. Una scuola dura, ma formativa, alla base del suo successo. Poi nel 1981, Steve smise di fare lo stand-up. Perché? La risposta è in questo libro in cui Martin ripercorre la sua vita. Da quando, a dieci anni, iniziò a lavorare vendendo guide a Disneyland, dove faceva anche il prestigiatore, fino alle prime esperienze in teatrini dove dava dodici spettacoli alla settimana. Un racconto in cui il divertimento si mescola alle emozioni, le rivelazioni si susseguono insieme a una serie di foto inedite. Alla fine si viene a sapere che la vita del padre della sposa era fatta di impegno, sacrificio, difficoltà, tenacia e coraggio. E non è ancora finita.

Steve Martin has been an international star for over thirty years. Here, for the first time, he looks back to the beginning of his career and charmingly evokes the young man he once was. \n\nBorn in Texas but raised in California, Steve was seduced early by the comedy shows that played on the radio when the family travelled back and forth to visit relatives. When Disneyland opened just a couple of miles away from home, an enchanted Steve was given his first chance to learn magic and entertain an audience. He describes how he noted the reaction to each joke in a ledger - 'big laugh' or 'quiet' - and assiduously studied the acts of colleagues, stealing jokes when needed. With superb detail, Steve recreates the world of small, dark clubs and the fear and exhilaration of standing in the spotlight. While a philosophy student at UCLA, he worked hard at local clubs honing his comedy and slowly attracting a following until he was picked up to write for TV. From here on, Steve Martin became an acclaimed comedian, packing out venues nationwide. One night, however, he noticed empty seats and realised he had 'reached the top of the rollercoaster'. \n\nBORN STANDING UP is a funny and riveting chronicle of how Steve Martin became the comedy genius we now know and is also a fascinating portrait of an era.

\"Il numero uno sono io\" è l'eredità cinematografica di Steve Martin: un libro di memorie sulla sua leggendaria carriera di attore, con storie tratte dai suoi film più famosi impreziosite dalle illustrazioni di Harry Bliss, celebre vignettista del New Yorker. Finora Steve Martin non aveva mai scritto della sua lunga carriera cinematografica.

Condivide anche momenti di ispirazione e imprese con personaggi del calibro di Paul McCartney, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams e Chevy Chase. Martin parla dei suoi quarant'anni di carriera nel mondo del cinema, ma anche di stand-up comedy, di banjo, di scrittura e di fumetto, il tutto con la sua impareggiabile arguzia. Con vignette splendidamente illustrate e \"divagazioni\" a pannello singolo nello stile caratteristico di Steve e Harry, questa autobiografia è inoltre ricca di tanti momenti quotidiani anch'essi parte della vita di una star.

The riveting, mega-bestselling, beloved and highly acclaimed memoir of a man, a vocation, and an era named one of the ten best nonfiction titles of the year by Time and Entertainment Weekly. In the mid-seventies, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. This book is, in his own words, the story of \"why I did stand-up and why I walked away.\" \n\n Emmy and Grammy Award-winner, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestsellers Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company, and a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Martin has always been a writer. His memoir of his years in stand-up is candid, spectacularly amusing, and beautifully written. \n\n At age ten Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory. The dedication to excellence and innovation is formed at an astonishingly early age and never wavers or wanes. \n\n Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline, and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times--the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late sixties, and the transformative new voice of Saturday Night Live in the seventies. \n\n Throughout the text, Martin has placed photographs, many never seen before. Born Standing Up is a superb testament to the sheer tenacity, focus, and daring of one of the greatest and most iconoclastic comedians of all time.

The GCSE Mindset: 40 activities for transforming student commitment, motivation and productivity, written by Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin, offers a wealth of concrete, practical and applicable tools designed to supercharge GCSE students' resilience, positivity, organisation and determination.\nAt a time when GCSE teaching can feel like a conveyor belt of micromanaged lessons and last-ditch interventions, Steve and Martin - acclaimed authors of The A Level Mindset - suggest a different approach, underpinned by their VESPA model of essential life skills: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude.\n\nThese five non-cognitive characteristics beat cognition hands down as predictors of academic success, and in The GCSE Mindset Steve and Martin take this simple model as their starting point and present a user-friendly month-by-month programme of activities, resources and strategies that will help students break through barriers, build resilience, better manage their workload and ultimately release their potential - both in the classroom and beyond.\n\nThe book's forty activities, while categorised thematically under the VESPA umbrella, have been sequenced chronologically by month in order to better chart the student's journey through the academic year and to help them navigate the psychological terrain ahead. Each activity can be delivered one-to-one, to a tutor group or to a whole cohort, has been designed to take fifteen to twenty minutes to complete, and has been written with a pupil audience in mind. However, to complement the tasks' practical utility, the authors also explore the underpinning research and theory - including the pioneering work of Angela Duckworth, Dr Steve Bull and Carol Dweck - in more detail in the introduction to each section.\n\nInformed by the authors' collective thirty-plus years of teaching and coaching, this essential handbook for GCSE success also suggests key coaching questions and interventions for use with pupils and includes expert guidance on how schools can implement and audit the core components and outcomes of the VESPA approach in their own settings. Additionally - and indeed pertinently in the present educational environment where empirical data is valued so highly - the book features a chapter dedicated to the measurement of mindset, written by guest contributors Dr Neil Dagnall and Dr Andrew Denovan from Manchester Metropolitan University. They present the twenty-eight-item VESPA questionnaire, which they helped Steve and Martin to design, and take the reader through the research process behind its origins before going on to describe how it can be used to identify areas for development and to measure the impact of interventions.\n\nSuitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost 14-16-year-olds' academic outcomes and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

During their combined 40 plus years of teaching and coaching, Steve and Martin have discovered something important: those students who make real and sustained progress at A level aren't necessarily the ones with superb GCSEs. Some students leap from average results in Year 11 to outstanding results in Year 13, while others seem to hit a ceiling. But why?It was in trying to answer this question that the VESPA system emerged. Steve and Martin have cut through the noise surrounding character development and identified five key characteristics that all students need in order to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude.These characteristics beat cognition hands down. Having pinned down the core traits that contribute to student success, the authors have developed a range of practical activities to help every student develop the A Level Mindset: 40 concrete, easy-to-use and applicable tools and strategies that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, productivity, persistence and determination.And in this revised edition Steve and Martin present a range of case studies and useful advice on effective implementation to guide schools towards putting the VESPA model into practice. Furthermore, they have also revamped the introductions to each aspect of the VESPA model with updated insights and references.Suitable for teachers, tutors, heads of sixth form or anyone else who wants to help A level students achieve their potential.

At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - perhaps ask a colleague a favour, negotiate with a contractor or get your spouse to put out the recycling. In The small BIG, three heavyweights from the world of persuasion science and practice - Steve Martin, Noah Goldstein and Robert Cialdini - describe how, in today's information-overloaded world, it is now the smallest changes that lead to the biggest differences in results.\n\nOffering deceptively simple suggestions and explaining the extensive scientific research behind them, the small BIG presents over fifty small changes - from the little adjustments that make meetings more effective to the costless alteration to correspondence that saved a government millions. \n\nthe small BIG is full of surprising, powerful - and above all, tiny - changes that could mean the difference between failure and success.
