The Chemical Scythe is the first book in a projected series to be published by Plenum Press in association with the International Disaster Institute. The aim of the series, Disaster Research in Practice, is to provide scientific and readable accounts on the most urgent areas of disaster research. It is fitting, therefore, that Dr. Hay's investigation into the nature and effects of dioxins heralds the new series. The problem of chemical hazards is one that we will have to learn to live with in future decades. Dr. Hay's book is an authoritative account of the chemistry and proven and potential effects of dioxins, and of the impli cations for safety planning. He concludes with a cautious, yet o...

Often in life, when making decisions and choices, we do not need to test the truth of our beliefs, so there must be another way to guide ourselves. With this in mind, Antomarini presents 'thinking through error' instead of 'excluding error'. That is, we act through a slow process of guess-work, followed by quick gestures.

Every decision we make continuously determines and replaces an entire universe within which that decision is plausible. Our everyday knowledge is a balance between a feeling of the truth and its negation.

Several questions needed to be answered: • Who has done research on this topic, and what do the data indicate? • Who ...

Frutto di mezzo secolo di ricerche in archivi italiani e stranieri, il volume ripercorre le vicende sino ai nostri giorni non solo dei castelbuonesi dalla fondazione nel 1317 del castello “buono” da cui il loro paese ha preso il nome, ma anche dei loro antenati che vissero a Ypsigro, come si chiamava il borgo di origine bizantina anteriormente agli anni Venti del Trecento, quando prevalse il toponimo Castelbuono. Nella carenza di fonti sui primi due secoli di vita del paese risaltano nel Trecento le figure del conte Francesco I Ventimiglia e nel Quattrocento del pronipote Giovanni I Ventimiglia, dal 1436 marchese di Geraci, il personaggio più prestigioso della lunga storia della famigli...
