The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) - MODERNITY, FRONTIERS AND REVOLUTIONS were compiled with the intent to establish a multidisciplinary platform for the presentation, interaction and dissemination of research. It also aims to foster awareness of and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design, Engineering, Social and Natural Sciences, and their importance and benefits for the sense of both individual and community identity. The idea of modernity has been a significant driver of development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.
Nella sua natura più intima la materia, che dà forma alle cose si manifesta come energia in perenne vibrazione e le caratteristiche della vibrazione diventano informazione. L'essere umano non è soltanto un insieme di composti chimici, ma è un'entità vivente che riceve e trasmette l'informazione necessaria ai bio-sistemi, attraverso vibrazioni. Sono le tantissime molecole d'acqua del nostro corpo, quando vibrano sincronicamente, le migliori messaggere d'informazioni per tutte le cellule. Ogni vibrazioni che giunge dall'ambiente si imprime "magicamente" nell'acqua e ne possiamo vedere al microscopio l'armonia o disarmonia prodotta nelle forme cristallizzate. Corpi celesti, oggetti, organi...
(EM PORTUGUÊS) Imersos em um oceano de vibrações, em interação com tudo, nós mesmos somos uma complexa sinfonia de sons. As vibrações formam e estruturam cada coisa, transmitem as informações que dão ritmo às funções dos organismos vivos. Parece a partitura de um maravilhoso concerto! Se a harmonia for perturbada, os organismos adoecem. Os antigos sábios conheciam os efeitos prodigiosos dos sons e, agora, a biologia, as neurociências, a física quântica e outras ciências os estão demonstrando. As vibrações do canto, da música, das palavras e dos pensamentos são os instrumentos de cura e transformação mais antigos e poderosos, especialmente se guiadas pelo propósito e pelo amor. "Nosso corpo é a harpa da alma e cabe a nós extrair-lhe suave música ou sons confusos".
The Atlas of Italian Amphibians and Reptiles presents the distribution, ecology and conservation status of the 37 species of amphibians and the 50 species of reptiles found in Italy. A 10x10 km UTM grid map is supplied for each species, on the basis of more than 70.000 records contributed by 900 collaborators during the Societas Herpetologica Italica survey project, started in 1994. Entries, illustrated with photos, are subdivided into the following headings: taxonomy, general distribution, comments on the distribution map, habitat, altitudinal distribution, annual activity cycle, reproduction and status of the Italian populations. General sections on biogeography, history of herpetology in Italy, paleoherpetology and herpetological fauna of the small Italian islands are also included. Italian and English text.
A major assessment of a crucial moment in the history of the French Revolution - the fall of Robespierre in July 1794.
Drawing out her mother's childhood memories of life in southern Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mary Melfi takes an unconventional approach to autobiographical writing. Italy Revisited serves as a double memoir, told in dialogue between a mother and a daughter. The conversation takes the reader to a medieval town high up in the mountains where time is told by the shadow the sun casts, where wheat and olive oil are the currency of choice (barter is in use), and where marriage is as much about property as it is about love. As they re-create that vanished world, the pair finds greater understanding of the tumultuous relationships that sometimes exist between immigrant mothers and their children.
The awesome figure of Otto von Bismarck, the 'Iron Chancellor', dominated Europe in the late 19th century. His legendary political genius and ruthless will engineered Prussia's stunning defeat of the Austrian Empire and, in 1871, led to his most dazzling achievement - the defeat of France and the unification of Germany. In this highly acclaimed biography, first published in 1981, Edward Crankshaw provides a perceptive look at the career of the First Reich's mighty founder - at his brilliant abilities and severe limitations and at the people who granted him the power to transform the shape and destiny of Europe. "Bismark is a biographical masterpiece, an opus that is truly magnificent." -The Spectator
