Carlo Maria Mariani in the Twenty-first Century
The first full-length study of Mariani's work since 2001, this lavishly illustrated volume focuses on some of Mariani's key paintings of the past decade. A master draftsman and painter, Carlo Maria Mariani is internationally renowned for his inimitable style, unique vision and unparalleled technical skill. One of the most original and challenging artists of the second half of the 20th century, Mariani continues to produce provocative and groundbreaking works that could very well change the course of art in the 21st century. An artist attuned with his time and of the moment, Mariani demonstrates a deep understanding of art's venerable past while he embodies the avant-garde in painting today.

The Cambridge Companion to Conducting
In this wide-ranging inside view of the history and practice of conducting, analysis and advice comes directly from working conductors, including Sir Charles Mackerras on opera, Bramwell Tovey on being an Artistic Director, Martyn Brabbins on modern music, Leon Botstein on programming and Vance George on choral conducting, and from those who work closely with conductors: a leading violinist describes working as a soloist with Stokowski, Ormandy and Barbirolli, while Solti and Abbado's studio producer explains orchestral recording, and one of the world's most powerful managers tells all. The book includes advice on how to conduct different types of groups (choral, opera, symphony, early music) and provides a substantial history of conducting as a study of national traditions. It is an unusually honest book about a secretive industry and managers, artistic directors, soloists, players and conductors openly discuss their different perspectives for the first time.
Music in Roman Comedy
This book offers a new explanation of how the plays of Plautus and Terence worked as musical theatre.
Synchrotron Radiation
Synchrotron radiation is today extensively used for fundamental and applied research in many different fields of science. Its exceptional characteristics in terms of intensity, brilliance, spectral range, time structure and now also coherence pushed many experimental techniques to previously un-reachable limits, enabling the performance of experiments unbelievable only few years ago. The book gives an up-to-date overview of synchrotron radiation research today with a view to the future, starting from its generation and sources, its interaction with matter, illustrating the main experimental technique employed and provides an overview of the main fields of research in which new and innovative results are obtained. The book is addressed to PhD students and young researchers to provide both an introductory and a rather deep knowledge of the field. It will also be helpful to experienced researcher who want to approach the field in a professional way.
The End of the Tether
Captain Whalley, an aging and once-prosperous sea captain, is struggling to maintain his dignity and livelihood in his twilight years. Whalley owns a share in a rundown steamer, the Sofala, and is committed to fulfilling a contract to support his blind daughter. Joseph Conrad's novella is a profound meditation on parental endurance and the decline that comes with old age, set against the backdrop of the unforgiving sea. JOSEPH CONRAD [1857–1924] was born in Ukraine to Polish parents, went to sea at the age of seventeen, and ended his career as a captain in the English merchant navy. His most famous work is the novella Heart of Darkness [1899], adapted into a film by Francis Ford Coppola in 1979 as Apocalypse Now.
Bicuspid aortic valve disease
The main goal of this book is to find the key roots for medical innovation by critically gauging our history and the past literature, rather than to take it for "granted" as we often do. The goal of this book is to promote a new pedagogy and culture that goes beyond the acquisition of notions, a culture that demands a critical and curious posture. These unalienable skills can be explicitly observed, throughout the chapters, by the strong historical grasp that this book proposes. The key value supported here is the consciousness and valorization of the roots of existing medical knowledge. It is only through analyzing and understanding those historical innovations that we can further develop existing cardiological methods. This book also proposes a vast interdisciplinary approach to specific medical diseases, rather than focusing on sectorial analysis. This approach, coupled with a strong analysis of the past academic achievements, positions this book as a "pivot" between the current methodological research and future medical explorations.
