Malta
Malta is an archipelago consisting of three islands (Gozo, Comino and Malta itself) located in the central Mediterranean. The strategic location of the islands has meant that they have long enjoyed an importance out of all proportion to their small size. Malta has a history of control by colonial powers and this is reflected in the ethnic background of its population, which comprises Arabs, Normans, Sicilians, English, Spanish and Italians. Occupied at various periods by the Thoenicians, the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Knights of St. John and the French, Malta became a crown colony of Britain in 1814. During the Second World War, the islands played a crucial role for the Allies, and the bravery shown by the people prompted King George VI to award the entire colony the George Cross, Britain's highest honour for valour. The nation achieved full independence in 1964 and became a republic in 1974. This revised bibliography fully updates the first edition, published in 1985, and pays particular attention to Malta's chequered history and strategic position.
Thoracic Ultrasound and Integrated Imaging
This book focuses on thoracic ultrasound, a versatile, diagnostically accurate, low-cost, noninvasive and non-ionizing imaging technique. Thanks to portable devices, the method can be used to provide quick and accurate diagnoses in emergency settings, during transport, or at the patient’s bedside in intensive care units. In addition, as a dynamic examination that allows “real-time” assessment, it can be used to optimize diagnoses, the use of respiratory support equipment, surgical interventions and physiopathological assessments, both in critical patients and those with chronic conditions. Lastly, since it avoids ionizing radiation, thoracic ultrasound offers a first-line diagnostic to...
Annuario della Scuola Archeologica di Atene e delle Missioni Italiane in Oriente, Supplemento 6. Mosaici e pavimenti di Atene (V sec. a.C.-VI sec. d.C.)
Il libro che, con ben poco merito da parte mia, mi è stato offerto l’onore di introdurre, per motivi affettivi, immagino, che ricambio, e probabilmente per una mia giovanile passione per il mosaico, che non ho mai dismesso, è uno studio che durerà moltissimo: per l’ineludibile valore documentario, per la prospettiva molto moderna, per lo sforzo costante di serrata contestualizzazione. Intanto, credo sia giusto inquadrarlo in uno dei filoni di studio che in questi ultimi anni hanno caratterizzato la produzione della Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene e che ha portato ai volumi della Topografia di Atene. Rispetto a quell’ampio e laborioso studio collettivo, che rimane un presuppost...
Studies in the Ecclesiastical and Social History of Toulouse in the Age of the Cathars
Studies in the Ecclesiastical and Social History of Toulouse in the Age of the Cathars is John H. Mundy's last major book concerning social and religious life in the city of Toulouse during the period 1150-1250 AD, a time when the alternate religion of Catharism, together with other divergent beliefs, rose to its height and, soon under intense repression, began to die out. The various studies, entirely reworked for this publication, and prefaced with an account of Mundy's early research in the Toulouse archives in 1946-47, document his understanding that religious divergence flourished when the town's well-to-do were building a semi-popular oligarchy at the expense of local princely power. T...
