Dagli organismi unicellulari invisibili a occhio nudo alle caverne preistoriche, dalle famiglie via via organizzate in clan e poi in tribù ai primi insediamenti stanziali, dai feudi alle piccole patrie, dagli Stati nazionali agli imperi e da questi ai global players quali l’OCSE, l’evoluzione della specie umana è stata assai più lineare di quanto l’opinione pubblica solitamente ritenga e assai meno lineare di quanto gli storici più pigri descrivono nei loro manuali. Il modello evolutivo è quello di un’inarrestabile ascesa dall’infinitamente piccolo all’infinitamente grande, laddove oggi la specie umana è in cerca di nuovi pianeti da rendere abitabili in un incessante proces...
Il panorama nazionale e internazionale degli studi e delle analisi sulla “giustizia” e sul “conflitto sociale” è progressivamente cresciuto. Se, infatti, per un verso è aumentata a dismisura la richiesta di giustizia, per altro verso si è dilatata l’esigenza di controllare questa domanda. Il volume, dopo una ricostruzione teorica dei principali dibattiti, compie un’analisi strutturale e funzionale del conflitto sociale, confermando come il conflitto sia la normale modalità di interazione tra gli uomini. La solidità del rapporto sociale, difatti, deve essere misurata dalla presenza del conflitto e non dall’assenza dello stesso.

Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person's age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation and the date of arrival. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
This Open Access book explores heritage conservation ethics of post conflict and provides an important historical record of the possible reconstruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues, which was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in Danger in 2003 as “Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley”. With the condition that most surface of the original fragments of the Buddha statues were lost due to acts of deliberate destruction, this publication explores a reference point for conservation practitioners and policy makers around the world as they consider how to respond to on-going acts of destruction of cultural heritage. Whilst there has been an emerging deb...
