Amanda is a prestigious researcher in cardiovascular health who struggles to stay afloat in the sea of egos and economic interests that protects the greatest scientific deception of all time. The day she fails in her efforts to muzzle the booing of her conscience and loses her job, she hears an unusual siren’s call from Cariño, a fishing village up on the north of Spain. As the dismissed doctor responds, she entangles the destinies of a dozen souls that will be turned upside down... or, perhaps, straightened out.
This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).
Un libro sulla solidarietà femminile. Due donne che si conoscevano a malapena e che diventano inseparabili guerriere contro i “mali” che sono costrette ad affrontare. Ciascuna trova nell’altra la forza per reagire, anche quando sembra che non ci sia più via di scampo.

Perché dopo un certo limite, si rendono conto che quelle non servono davvero più.

This book discusses the history of invertebrate fossil understanding and classification by exploring fossil studies between the 15th and 18th centuries. Before the modern age, the understanding of fossil findings went through several phases. The treatment by philologists, philosophers and historians of natural sciences involved religious, sometimes folkloristic, aspects before scientific ones. This work showcases and assesses these original findings by carrying out a bibliographical, and above all iconographical research, aimed at finding the first printed images of the objects that we now know as fossils. From here, the authors provide an understanding of the true nature of fossils by analy...
