Thank you Chiara I am very satisfied, it was just the book I was looking for, practical that I could keep in my bag at hand to be used at any time, unfortunately I work all day and I don't have much time to study, so every moment is good ...
In a few days I will start the third Ais level and the exam is approaching.
Thank you very much again
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect!!!
In my humble opinion ... summary, clear and fluent ... just what I was looking for to fix the main concepts, a notion, or general culture (call it what you want), which from my point of view really opens up a world.
Obviously to use in support of textbooks, but I think it's really a very valuable help ... and now ahead of all ... no more excuses 
... less 60 gg. to the exams 
... a big good luck to all those who are as close as me and a special thanks 
a Chiara for this great dedication
