The dream and purpose of this book and his path until today is to help anyone who has a dream and is currently feeling lost, or hopeless, create ideas that he or she is not achieving these dreams and goals due to not having the background, and conditions that the author calls Failure, having plenty of his own to share, but has such a higher and clear why behind this person, why he wants this goal, why it's important not just for him but many, immediately invalidates any reason behind why he can't and believes one day it is possible and all starts, continues and finishes in them, what the author calls Success. Bruno does not believe there is a secret to achieving your goals and dreams. Only with hard work, dedication, consistency, perseverance and belief someone can achieve whatever dream a person has. How distant it might feel right now is not important since everything is a beginning but focus on what you want to be, what you will have, give to others and one day help someone to achieve what was a dream for you and a dream for them now. It is hard to understand in life that sometimes no matter how hard you will try, how prepared you can be for this attempt to achieve your goals you still might fail. Every time you fail it's painful, it causes sadness, stress, and all the negative feelings that make one person quit and become a failure. This book wants to make you love this process and next time the outcome goes the way you expected, you know youare one step closer and one step wiser to manifest what once was in your head into the world.

The book emphasizes geopolitical rivalries in the Middle East and their consequences on key sea waterways in the region that connects the world's major maritime and land spaces. In addition to the analysis of their geography, main navigation patterns and potential difficulties, each chapter has been set in their respective economic, political and international contexts, enriched with maps that illustrate in detail specific historical situations. Over the course of history, powers have attempted to exercise various degrees of control over these important waterways. In the context of geopolitical and geoeconomic rivalries, state actors that are situated on or close to these waterways have played an important role in shaping maritime security in the region. Each of the situations is discussed separately, but it is common for links to be drawn between them as well. It has been historically observed that the importance of different sea routes and land itineraries has been greatly influenced by the dynamics of centers of wealth, culture, and power, whether regional or global. Thus, relations between and among these waterways have been characterized by periodic rises and declines, often affected by external factories, for example, by discoveries of alternative routes. Over a very long period, this book illustrates how the four main maritime passages have played a fundamental role, both economically and geopolitically, in regional and global affairs, and the strategic importance they have had over centuries. Each of the main parts of this book is devoted to one of the four major Middle Eastern waterways, divided into chapters and sections covering specific cases in a given time periods. In order to make the chapters clear and readily accessible, they are organized according to coherent chronological eras, starting with antiquity and ending with the present day.

What would you do if you had made a mess of your life and suddenly got a chance to start over again? By an ironic twist of fate, Frank Oliviero, an unfaithful husband and shady jewel dealer, isn't in his office, where he was supposed to be, in the World Trade Center when the Twin Towers are destroyed. Impulsively, rather than face a messy divorce and financial and legal complications, he decides to remain officially dead and start his life over again from zero. Still grieving for the thousands of victims of the disaster from which he was unaccountably spared, he now has to cope with the consequences of his presumed demise: separation from his daughters, his parents, and his siblings, and the challenge of becoming a better man in a new country. He presents his life story in a document addressed to someone whose identity gradually becomes clear as the novel unfolds.

This interesting essay, developed with a philosophical approach, has the advantage of crossing and taking inspiration from various disciplines for the understanding of some very topical contemporary phenomena. Analyzing some authors of classical Western philosophy and comparing them with other thinkers from other geographical areas (among them some intellectuals of Islamic current), the author confronts the reader with a great reflection on how we see the world today, often influenced by the powerful communication weapon represented by the WEB. Through the use of simple examples, it will be almost natural to understand that phenomena such as extremism (described as a blatant phenomenon against the difficulties of life and the problems of societies), common sense, justice, populism are innate in man's ability to relate to each other, emerging in a sort of sense a common destiny of human beings.
