Police, Politics and the Immigration-Crime Nexus
This book examines the relationship between immigration, crime, police and politics in the city of Buenos Aires during the Cambiemos ("Let's Change") administration, which took place in Argentina between 2015 and 2019. It draws on semi-structured interviews with migrants to offer insights into interactions between police and migrants, narratives of police violence, police attitudes towards migrants, the nexus between police and politics and the perception of the vulnerability of the migratory community of belonging to police action. Using a mixed methods approach, it also draws on secondary quantitative data regarding police practices of detention of migrants and examines political discourses around the immigration-crime association. In essence, it discusses the changes in attitude of the police towards different ethnic-national groups during the administration Cambiemos. In this sense, it presents empirical research and methodological insights from the Global South.
Il transumanismo
Un piccolo ma agguerrito movimento, risolutamente votato al futuro e al progresso tecnico-scientifico, è riuscito a fare parlare di sé, coinvolgendo nel dibattito alcuni degli esponenti più noti della cultura italiana. Ha alimentato le pagine di importanti testate giornalistiche e indotto anche la RAI a girare un documentario monografico, dal significativo titolo “Nascita del superuomo”. La differenza rispetto ad altri movimenti e associazioni di orientamento tecno-scientifico sta proprio qui, nell’attenzione al concetto di postumano o, se si vuole, superuomo.

Primate Psychology
In more ways than we may sometimes care to acknowledge, the human being is just another primate--it is certainly only very rarely that researchers into cognition, emotion, personality, and behavior in our species and in other primates come together to compare notes and share insights. This book, one of the few comprehensive attempts at integrating behavioral research into human and nonhuman primates, does precisely that--and in doing so, offers a clear, in-depth look at the mutually enlightening work being done in psychology and primatology. Relying on theories of behavior derived from psychology rather than ecology or biological anthropology, the authors, internationally known experts in pr...
