Three story strands are interwoven into a sophisticated action-packed thriller that covers the length and breadth of South Africa, explosively colliding in Cape Town in a violent conspiracy involving organized crime, smuggled diamonds, state security, Black Rhinos, the CIA and an international terrorist plot.

Excellent new studio disc by this killer blues/rock power trio from Sweden featuring the legendary Clas Yngstrom on guitar & vocals. Includes 12 tracks of bad-ass, retro-fied, blues-based, heavy guitar riffage that rocks the blues hard at the Sky High jam:house. Mr. Yngstrom gets down n' dirty, rippin' up his Strat with ass-kickin', powerful Hendrix-inspired six string mojo that represents & exemplifies his long-standing Swedish Guitar Hero status. As an added bonus, an awesome unreleased vintage ZZ Top song called "One Step Back" written by Billy Gibbons lands on this way-kool rocker. The Sky High - "Stone & Gravel" disc is highly recommended to serious blues/rock guitar freaks worldwide who dig rockin' hard with the blues.

Di cosa abbiamo paura oggi? Mai come adesso risulta valido l'antico adagio «quando c'è la salute c'è tutto». Come ai tempi in cui il nostro mondo era percorso da guerre, carestie e pestilenze, ciò che più di ogni altra cosa ci spaventa è ancora l'idea di un'epidemia catastrofica. Lo abbiamo visto nei primi mesi del 2020, con la pandemia di Covid-19. Ma come interpretare e "leggere" questi fenomeni? Come dare risposte scientifiche alle paure e alle reazioni emotive che producono nelle società e nell'informazione? In questo saggio il chimico Marco Malvaldi e l'ingegnere Roberto Vacca analizzano diversi casi esemplari (dalla peste al colera, fino alla SARS, all'aviaria, al nuovo coronavirus, senza tralasciare le "epidemie" di tumori, di obesità o di disturbi psichiatrici) e ci aiutano a razionalizzare i timori e le ansie che ci assalgono ogni volta che eventi così imprevedibili e radicali si verificano.
