Em um natal como esse
O romance entre Franco e Josephine começou com um tombo em uma escadaria e um fim de semana fulgurante, mas será que resiste ao espírito natalino? Franco ama as festas de fim de ano e toda a breguice dos suéteres feios e das canções temáticas, enquanto Josephine é alérgica ao assunto. Com uma gigantesca festa de Natal para organizar e um visitante misterioso que pode estragar tudo, não se trata de mera questão de gosto por enfeites com purpurina ou música pop com sininhos. O que eles vão fazer?
Art of Renaissance Venice, 1400 1600
"A comprehensive and richly illustrated survey of Venetian Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and painting created between 1400 and 1600 addressed to students, travellers, and the general public. The works of art are analysed within Venice's cultural circumstances--political, economic, intellectual, and religious--and in terms of function, style, iconography, patronage, classical sources, gender, art theories, and artist's innovations, rivalries, and social status. The text has been divided into two parts--the fifteenth century and the sixteenth century--each part preceded by an introduction that recounts the history of Venice to 1500 and to 1600 respectively, including the city's founding...
Prosérpina
Theo Janssen, colorista e herdeiro inesperado de uma das melhores ― ainda que poucas ― lojas de tintas da Inglaterra, estava certo de que não estava destinado à felicidade. Resignado com a própria solidão, acreditava que sua vida seria pincelada apenas em tons azuis. Mas quando Pasha, um de seus amigos mais antigos, entra em seu escritório com um enorme pacote embrulhado em papel pardo e jornal velho, pedindo para que Theo investigue se há algo de mágico em uma pintura, o colorista não poderia imaginar que seus dias monocromáticos acabariam mais rápido do que pensava. Retratada como uma mulher em trajes dourados, segurando uma romã rachada ao meio, Prosérpina era um quadro t...
The Wooden Spoon
The Wooden Spoon is, in essence, an Italian Roots. The story traces the arrival of an Italian family from Sicily to America. Using actual historical events as a backdrop, we follow the family from being immigrants to fully mainstream Americans without them ever loosing their rich Italian culture. Because the book is based on unverified stories told around the kitchen table [hence the changing of surnames], as well as actual events, The Wooden Spoon is a compelling blend of fiction and non-fiction; a multi-cultural experience within a semi-autobiographical memoir. In many respects, it is also a womans story as well as the primary characters are women. The books title is derived from the women...

Private Collectors in Mantua, 1500-1630
Case studies of private art collections recorded during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in Mantua. This work seeks to show how the collectors' taste changed during this period and how these changes are reflected in the collections' display, and also seeks to contribute to the understanding of the original context of works of art in sixteenth and early seventeenth century private houses in a courtly city.
Forms of Faith in Sixteenth-Century Italy
The sixteenth century was a period of tumultuous religious change in Italy as in Europe as a whole, a period when movements for both reform and counter-reform reflected and affected shifting religious sensibilities. Cinquecento culture was profoundly shaped by these religious currents, from the reform poetry of the 1530s and early 1540s, to the efforts of Tridentine theologians later in the century to renew Catholic orthodoxy across cultural life. This interdisciplinary volume offers a carefully balanced collection of essays by leading international scholars in the fields of Italian Renaissance literature, music, history and history of art, addressing the fertile question of the relationship...
Farm animal proteomics 2013
Proteomics may be defined as the large-scale study of the proteome, i.e. a set of proteins being expressed in a certain fluid, tissue, organ or organism. Although still of limited and restricted use in most areas of farm animal and veterinary research, proteomics potential is unequivocal holding a significant promise in applications such as vaccine and drug development, animal product quality, physiology or toxicology. Nevertheless, proteomics use has been growing steadily during the last 2-3 years and, as time goes by; proteomics-based studies are more and more common, not just to scientists but to the general public, unraveling their full potential. This book reflects the will of a group o...
