The Domenichino Affair
Ten years after completing his work The Last Communion of Saint Jerome, Bolognese painter Domenichino was accused by his rival Giovanni Lanfranco of stealing the idea for the painting from an altarpiece crafted by Lanfranco’s teacher, Agostino Carracci. The resulting scandal reverberated through the centuries, drawing responses by artists and critics from Poussin and Malvasia to Fuseli and Delacroix.Why was Domenichino attacked in this way when other related paintings--including Raphael’s Marriage of the Virgin and Perugino’s painting of the same subject--aroused no such negative response? In this fast-paced book, Elizabeth Cropper investigates the Domenichino affair and addresses the perennial debate regarding the precise nature of originality and of imitation. She offers close readings of the paintings involved in the story, detailed analysis of attitudes toward imitation, emulation, and plagiarism, and a fascinating discussion of what Domenichino’s plight signifies in art history.
Visual Cultures in Science and Technology
This book aims to provide a synthesis of the history, generation, use, and transfer of images in scientific practice. It delves into the rich reservoir of case studies on visual representations in scientific and technological practice that have accumulated over the past couple of decades by historians, sociologists, and philosophers of science. The main aim is thus located on the meta-level. It adopts an integrative view of recurrently noted general features of visual cultures in science and technology, something hitherto unachieved and believed by many to be a mission impossible. By systematic comparison of numerous case studies, the purview broadens away from myopic microanalysis in search...
The Geometry of the Moiré Effect in One, Two, and Three Dimensions
The book describes not only 2D moiré patterns, but also explores the moiré effect in other dimensions, such as 1D and 3D (volumetric moiré patterns). It also explains the time-dependent moiré effect, including its spectral trajectories. The book features various illustrations and examples which will help the reader to identify the moiré effect and to distinguish it from other similar-looking effects. It will allow the reader to evaluate moiré patterns in particular circumstances, to establish control over the moiré effect, and to use it in modern technologies.

C'era una volta...
C'era una volta un certo numero di scienziati avventurosi che si spostavano dal terreno conosciuto della letteratura scientifica per esplorare il terreno della scrittura e della narrazione di storie legate alla scienza. Il loro obiettivo era quello di creare racconti brevi, riguardo alle attuali minacce che i nostri oceani devono affrontare a causa del cambiamento climatico, dell'inquinamento e del sovrasfruttamento derivanti dalle azioni dell'uomo. La prima parte dell'avventura è ora completata. L'immaginazione si è trasformata in parole, e diversi illustratori si sono fatti avanti ed hanno trasformato le parole in immagini. Vi presentiamo queste avventure e vi invitiamo a navigare con noi.
