People, service and innovation : the sustainable growth path of a global leader. Foreword by Maria Latella. Bocconi University Press. Milano, EGEA 2023, cm.14,5x23, pp.118, brossura. With an aging population, and above all a society that is becoming increasingly noisy, hearing loss is a problem destined to increase and affect ever-younger age groups. Yet, it is still talked about too little: in fact, there is a social stigma associated with it that is difficult to overcome. The aim of the book is, first and foremost, to raise awareness about the consequences that noise pollution can have on each of us, while also illustrating the solutions that technology makes available today. Yet in this ? eld, technology alone is not sufficient if it is not accompanied by highly-personalized service and care. It is the skills (and sensitivity) of the trained individuals working at an Italian family company that has allowed it to become one of the world leaders in the distribution of hearing aids and personal care services. It was 1950 when Algernon Charles Holland founded what would become Amplifon in Milan, to help people who had hearing problems as a result of World War II. Today, the Group, listed on the stock exchange, operates in twenty-five countries and on five continents. This book tells the story of the company and its strategies, but above all, the values that have brought it to the top of the industry.

The Great Copernicus Chase is an anthology of 36 incidents drawn from the history of astronomy. The chapters range from Stonehenge and ancient Egypt, to the Great Comet of 1965, and to Albert Einstein. In this series of articles, arranged roughly chronologically, Professor Gingerich covers all the important periods and developments in astronomy. The book is generously illustrated throughout, and opportunity has been taken to add illustrations to articles that originally had none. The curious reader will learn of the origin of the zodiac, Islamic astronomy, fake astrolabes, the foundation of modern astronomy in the USA, and the discovery of the spiral arms of our Galaxy. Although Professor Gingerich prepared this material primarily for readers interested in the historical background to astronomy, there are many original research discoveries and insights. This is popularization and intellectual history combined. The Copernicus Chase refers to Owen Gingerich's attempt to make a census of all extant copies of De Revolutionibus. Some of the many adventures that have befallen him in this quest feature in the book. The majority of the chapters originally appeared in Sky and Telescope, the monthly astronomy magazine published by Sky Publishing Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
