Un mondo di scarpe
La calzatura non è solo un ornamento o uno strumento funzionale per coprire i piedi e muoversi nello spazio, ma anche un prolungamento della propria personalità e della propria identità e, perché no, dei propri desideri e delle proprie ambizioni. Accessorio utile, in molte culture indispensabile, oggetto di design e prodotto di mercato, può diventare anche espressione culturale e simbolo sociale. Muovendo da queste riflessioni e abbracciando diversi punti di vista, il libro propone uno studio accurato sull’evoluzione del design della calzatura nel corso della storia, analizzandone i cambiamenti stilistici, le influenze e le risonanze sia sociali che storico-culturali.
Il marcio è servito
Oltre un milione di controlli l'anno. 24 milioni di chilogrammi di prodotti fuorilegge sequestrati. Un giro d'affari di miliardi di euro. Sono le truffe alimentari, che periodicamente fanno capolino in tv sottoforma di agenti in divisa che mettono i sigilli su casse di formaggi avariati, prodotti ittici senza etichetta, partite di mozzarella alla diossina. Quello di cui nessuno parla però, è il sistema che consente ai truffatori e alle mafie di speculare utilizzando materie prime scadute se non addirittura vietate, mettendo a repentaglio la salute dei consumatori. È lo stesso sistema di norme e controlli europei e nazionali a permettere la vendita di cibo pericoloso per chi lo mangia. Un reticolo di burocrazia, negligenza, maglie normative allargate appositamente per permettere il profitto di multinazionali e consorzi agroalimentari, che arriva in alcuni casi a costruire vere e proprie truffe legalizzate. Questo libro indaga sugli angoli più bui dell'industria alimentare italiana, laddove l'inganno e il profitto sono sempre più difficili da scovare.
Biotech Innovations and Fundamental Rights
Biotechnology is a recognized research area that has increasingly advanced into new technologies and modern practices raising several legal, ethical and regulatory issues. The revolutionary speed of biotech innovations has had a significant impact on the protection of the rights of the individual. Fundamental rights provide a framework within which the justification of limitations and restrictions to biotechnology innovations and research results have to be assessed. The legal regulation of scientific research and scientific investigations impact more and more directly on the freedom of research and therapies as well as on the broad diffusion of knowledge. Closely related is also the debated...

Neutrino Mass
Reviews the current state of knowledge of neutrino masses and the related question of neutrino oscillations. After an overview of the theory of neutrino masses and mixings, detailed accounts are given of the laboratory limits on neutrino masses, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on those masses, experimental results on neutrino oscillations, the theoretical interpretation of those results, and theoretical models of neutrino masses and mixings. The book concludes with an examination of the potential of long-baseline experiments. This is an essential reference text for workers in elementary-particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
Italians to America: October 1903-March 1904
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States.

The Irresistible Fairy Tale
A provocative new theory about fairy tales from one of the world's leading authorities If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread—or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes presents a provocative new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold—and why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures around the world. Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology,...
