How can a book about effective and efficient meetings be life changing?

The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Philosophy, published in 2007, provides an introduction to a complex period of change in the subject matter and practice of philosophy. The philosophy of the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries is often seen as transitional between the scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages and modern philosophy, but the essays collected here, by a distinguished international team of contributors, call these assumptions into question, emphasizing both the continuity with scholastic philosophy and the role of Renaissance philosophy in the emergence of modernity. They explore the ways in which the science, religion and politics of the period reflect and are reflected in its philosophical life, and they emphasize the dynamism and pluralism of a period which saw both new perspectives and enduring contributions to the history of philosophy. This will be an invaluable guide for students of philosophy, intellectual historians, and all who are interested in Renaissance thought.

Ho pensato tanti programmi, alcuni li ho solo presentati, altri li ho costruiti da zero. Ho prodotto dischi, ho fondato Radio, progettato software, scelto vinili in consolle e firmato contratti per me e per i miei artisti. In tutti questi ruoli, ho imparato che non esistono due situazioni uguali. Per me è sempre la prima volta. Ci risiamo: sono qui, e con me ci sono Mapi, Jody e Leonardo. Ci sono i miei artisti, i miei amici, diversi fra loro, ma uguali nell'essere speciali. Mi hanno permesso di realizzare il sogno di creare qualcosa che resista al tempo e che prosegua oltre me. Hanno mantenuto tutte le promesse, sono fiero di loro, fiero di noi. Comincio a sentire l'adrenalina che sale e la sensazione mi fa sorridere. Sono io, Claudio Cecchetto da Ceggia, paese di seimila anime in provincia di Venezia. Sono io, e ci sto provando ancora.
This volume in the series Documentary History of the Jews in Italy illustrates the history of the Jews in Sicily from 1458 to 1477. It is the sequel to the first five volumes and covers the events during the rule of King John. Although John continued the policies of his father Alphonso towards the Jews of the island, there is a distinct deterioration in their position during his times. After years of incitement by the members of the Mendicant Orders, anti-Jewish riots broke out in various parts of the Sicily. The worst of them was the massacre in Modica in 1474. During that period the Jewish minority of Sicily continued to flourish economically and socially. Nearly a thousand documents, many...
William A. Wallace demonstrates the importance of two early manuscripts of Galileo dismissed by earlier researchers as juvenile exercises. Analyzing all his scientific writings from the late 1580s to 1610 and from 1610 to 1640, this book illuminates both the sources and the evolution of Galileo's thought. Originally published in 1984.
