L’arte del riassunto. Come liberarsi del superfluo

As simple and accessible as it might initially seem, summarizing remains one of the most complex and demanding tasks. At school, from an early age, we are taught to practise condensation regarding the material that we have read and studied; it is indeed the first test of our level of understanding. But how do you make a good summary? Pruning, getting to the heart of things or their essentials is an art that can be refined, perfected and practised throughout one’s life and in multiple fields. Summarizing aids us in orienting ourselves in the sea of ​​knowledge, identifying what really matters and transmitting it effectively. This volume is a breviary useful to aspiring reviewers and to anyone interested in removing the superfluous.
