In all the breaths I’ve taken from you
“In All the Breaths I’ve Taken From You” is the story of William O'Neill, a poor boy of low class origin, born in Louisiana, the Deep South of America. His adolescence is marked by the economic crisis and the Great Depression of 1929. William grows up in the poverty-stricken streets of New Orleans, where jazz and blues are the soundtrack of his youth . When President Roosevelt decides to go to war and mobilizes young Americans, William is assigned to the 116° Infantry Regiment. They land on Omaha Beach and he is shot in the chest, finding himself the only survivor in a sea of mutilated bodies. He will be found and rescued by a French farmer, Maurice Montreau, and led to his farm, Grandcamp-Maisy. This book, far from being just a war novel, is a profound reflection on the meaning of life, love and friendship, but especially on the strange succession of events brought together by fate; the war and the pursuit for happiness, paradoxically represent for Will, an opportunity of love and redemption for mankind.

Natural Hazards
This special volume contains a selection of papers that were presented as part of the Seventh International Symposium on Natural and Man-Made Hazards (HAZARDS-98), held in Chania, Crete Island, Greece, during May 1998. The Symposium attracted broad international interest because many cases of natural disaster events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, forest fires, etc., that occurred in several parts of the world during the 1990s were presented not only for their physics but also from the point of view of their impact on society and their environmental consequences. Among these cases are the 1997 Red River Valley flood in Canada and the large earthquake of 18 November 1997, in Zak...
Food for Thought
This volume offers new insights into food and culture. Food habits, preferences, and taboos are partially regulated by ecological and material factors - in other words, all food systems are structured and given particular functioning mechanisms by specific societies and cultures, either according to totemic, sacrificial, hygienic-rationalist, aesthetic, or other symbolic logics. This provides much “food for thought”. The famous expression has never been so appropriate: not only do cultures develop unique practices for the production, treatment and consumption of food, but such practices inevitably end up affecting food-related aspects and spheres that are generally perceived as objectively and materially defined. This book explores such dynamics drawing on various theoretical approaches and analytical methodologies, thus enhancing the cultural reflection on food and, at the same time, helping us see how the study of food itself can help us understand better what we call “culture”. It will be of interest to anthropologists, philosophers, semioticians and historians of food.

È tutta una follia Raymond Bosco
Raymond “Ray” Bosco è un lunatico, arruffato e cinico romanziere italo-ame-ricano che, in una carriera trentennale, iniziata nel 1971, può vantare un paio di romanzi arrivati ai vertici delle classifiche di vendita. Freneticamente al lavoro sulla diciottesima fatica letteraria, al risveglio dopo l’ennesima nottata davanti alla macchina per scrivere, con l’imprevisto rientro a casa di Anna, scoprirà che il mondo come lo conosceva è cambiato per sempre, senza preavviso, e anche Ray sarà costretto a cambiare, più di quanto avrebbe potuto immaginare. È tutta una follia Raymond Bosco è il primo romanzo d’una saga tutt’ora in lavorazione sulla vita dello scrittore Raymond Bosco.
