A rapidly growing area of economic research investigates the top of the income distribution using data from income tax records. This volume brings together studies of top incomes for twelve countries from around the world, including China, India, Japan, Argentina and Indonesia. Together with the first volume, published in 2007, the studies cover twenty two countries. They have a long time span, the earliest data relating to 1875 (for Norway), allowing recent developments to be placed in historical perspective. The volume describes in detail the source data and the methods employed. It will be an invaluable reference source for researchers in the field. Individual country chapters deal with t...

La sicaria Lia Rigolo fluttua in un coma che riempie di voci che le giungono come rimbombi dal mondo esterno. In una specie di limbo fluttua anche Clara Gladio. Abbandonato il lavoro, da quasi tre anni non esce di casa, restando a ricordare il fratello scomparso e a dedicarsi al compagno e al figlio. Da qualche tempo, uno spietato assassino, il Dardo, fa strage di ragazzi in tutta la città. Le forze dell’ordine brancolano nel buio e la furia omicida del Dardo non accenna a fermarsi. Inizialmente Clara vive tutto questo con l’indifferenza con cui la maggior parte della gente ascolta i fatti di cronaca nera, finché il Dardo non rapisce Enrico, amico di infanzia di Clara. Emanuele si accorge del suo turbamento e spinge Clara a tornare al lavoro che ama. Lei, però, schiacciata dal senso di colpa per quello che è successo anni prima, rifiuta, convinta che il suo passato l’abbia resa indegna di indossare la toga. Quando Enrico viene ritrovato morto, le insistenze per il ritorno di Clara si fanno sempre più pressanti. Lei, non potendone più, scappa in macchina fino a Baia del Sole, dove un incontro inaspettato la porta a prendere una decisione.

This volume is dedicated to "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", especially to the production of this music-dramatic genre at the courts on the Iberian Peninsula, in Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire where it was an integral part of court ceremonials and a privileged ritual of repraesentatio maiestatis. The 16 studies on patrons and artists, exceptional events and local traditions, reveal highly interesting material for the research on these up to now largely neglected genre. Any approach to these works full of metaphors, symbols and allusions has to take into account the context of the celebration and the resulting multiplicity of aspects: choice of themes, dramaturgical forms, textual and musical structures, vocal and instrumental ensembles, and the various options regarding the stage apparatus. "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", edited by Iskrena Yordanova (Lisbon) and Paologiovanni Maione (Naples), inaugurates the series "Cadernos de Queluz", a subseries of "Specula Spectacula" by Don Juan Archiv Wien.
