Ethics and Politics of the Built Environment
This book proposes and defends the practice of urban gardening as an ecologically and socially beneficial, culturally innovative, morally appropriate, ethically uplifting, and politically incisive way for individuals and variously networked collectives to contribute to a successful management of some defining challenges of the Anthropocene – this new epoch in which no earthly place, form, entity, process, or system escapes the reach of human activity – including urban resilience and climate change.
Città e Territorio Virtuale - CITTÀ MEMORIA GENTE
Le città sono cambiate, è cambiato il modo di intendere la città e di viverla. E questo spesso al di fuori della pianificazione e delle politiche urbane. Esiste ancora un legame tra le persone e i propri – e altrui – luoghi? Nell’era della virtualizzazione e della globalizzazione della realtà, luoghi e relazioni si stanno evidentemente trasformando. Al punto che si possono nutrire dei forti dubbi sull’esistenza ancora di uno “spazio pubblico di relazione”, quell’armatura fisica e relazionale che è alla base delle nostre città e che nelle espansioni urbane recenti – in tutto il mondo – ha perso quasi totalmente senso. Quali sono pertanto le “cautele” da adottare ne...
Proceedings of the International Conference on Plant Developmental Biology
These conference proceedings cover recent advances in the field of developmental biology in plants. The developmental processes explored here are mainly focused on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control and the circadian clock. The book will appeal to biologists, academicians, scientists, researchers and students, as well as readers exploring the role of light in controlling various indispensable physiological processes in plants, such as flowering, circadian clock regulations and hormonal regulations. The volume also emphasises several interrelated developmental processes, such as disease development, and molecular events, including the degradation of proteins.
Italian Paintings of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Beginning in the 1920s, Kress and his foundation assembled, first in New York, and later in Washington, the nation's most inclusive collection of Italian art. In 1938 he decided to donate the collection to the National Gallery of Art, and when it opened in 1941, 375 paintings and 18 works of sculpture from the Kress gift were installed in the West Building. The Gallery's holdings of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian paintings have been enriched by gifts from P.A.B. Widener and Paul Mellon, and more recently from purchases. This catalogue is the first of four volumes to document the National Gallery's great collection of Italian paintings.

Mapping Sustainability Transitions
This book was written for anyone wishing to understand how sustainable scenarios emerge from current innovations. It complements current sustainability transition research by providing a “socio-technical map,” an analytical and operational tool that can be used to explain the current positioning of innovators and their networks; to form alternative transition pathways and scenarios; and to design policies for a sustainability transition. Drawing on multiple disciplinary approaches to the study of “green” innovations and focusing specifically on operational directives, it examines and assesses multiple transition pathways (and supporting networks). Lastly, it presents three sectorial case studies (urban mobility, agri-food, and lighting) to demonstrate how the “socio-technical map” can be concretely put into practice.
The Digitally Divided Self
"It isn't easy to find an informed and critical look at the impact of digital media practices on human lives and minds. Ivo Quartiroli offers an informed critique based in both an understanding of technology and of human consciousness." --Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community and Smart Mobs. Howard Rheingold, Derrick de Kerckhove, Arthur Kroker, Eric McLuhan, Michael McLuhan, Douglas Rushkoff, Michael Wesch, Hilarie Cash, Erik Davis, Michael Heim, Maggie Jackson, Ervin Laszlo and others on the forefront of technology and media studies praised The Digitally Divided Self as a milestone in the understanding of human nature in relationship with digital technology. Intersecting media studies, psychology and spirituality, The Digitally Divided Self exposes the nature of the malleable mind and explores the religious and philosophical influences which leave it obsessed with the incessant flow of information.
