The Evolution of the Chilean-Argentinean Andes
This book describes the Mesozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the Chilean and Argentinean Andes. The book is structured from a historical perspective concentrating on specific processes explained in each chapter. The chapters cover dynamic subsidence; neotectonics; magmatism; long and short term deformation; spatial development of ancient orogenic processes that control Andean reactivations; relation between ocean bathymetry and deformation. Sources of detritus through Andean construction are discussed by specialists from both sides of the Southern Andes. This book provides up-to-date reviews, maps, evolutionary schemes and extensive reference lists useful for geoscientists and students in Earth Science fields.
Dario Fo and Franca Rame: passion unspent
In the official citation explaining the decision to award the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature to Dario Fo, the Swedish Royal Academy stated that he had emulated the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden. It went on to add that with a blend of laughter and gravity, he opens our eyes to abuses and injustices in society: Fo is an extremely serious satirist. Since the award of the Nobel prize, Dario Fo has never stopped writing, performing and painting. He was deeply affected by the death of his wife Franca Rame and has dedicated works to her.
Growth of the Southern Andes
This book presents recent findings on the structure and evolution of the Southern Andes. Through a detailed description of a series of orogenic segments reviewed by the different groups that have worked with structural and geophysical tools in each area over the last several years, it illustrates the diversity of mechanisms that have impacted strong orogenic gradients and consequently mountain morphology, from the southern Pampean flat subduction zone to the southern tip of the continent (33-56o S). The book also revises our conventional understanding of the source of the different Mesozoic to Cenozoic sections exhumed in the orogenic wedge, with the objective of discussing basin mechanisms through time. A final chapter discusses probable orogenic controls that have acted together in order to explain structure, the different deformational stages and intra-orogenic extensional collapses that affected the fold and thrust belt over time.
Marine Isotope Stage 3 in Southern South America, 60 KA B.P.-30 KA B.P.
This book presents isotope data reflecting changes in temperature derived from core samples in South America. Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) is examined in detail with respect to Stage 3. With over 20 chapters, this detailed treatise discusses high climatic variability, paleoclimatic events, Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles, continental vertebrates, sea level changes, vegetation and climate changes based on pollen records, and the non-Amazon landscape and fauna from 65 to 20 ka B.P. The book also looks at the earth’s magnetic field and climate change during MIS 3 and MIS 5 and presents a comparison between both stages with respect to marine deposits in Uruguay. With case studies drawn from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay this book presents research from the some of the worlds experts in this field.
We Can't Pay? We Won't Pay!
Set in a working class suburb of Milan, this political farce centres on a housewives' strike against inflationary supermarket prices and the politicisation of their stuffy Communist trade unionist spouses. Their direct action - looting the shelves - leads to immaculate conceptions [and many misconceptions], Maoist cops, Keystone cops and 'miracles' of many sorts.
The Open Couple ; An Ordinary Day
Two plays written by the Italian farceur, Dario Fo, in conjunction with his wife and fellow-performer. Both plays start with the breakdown of a relationship and deal with the fate of women in a society in which both the social system in which they live and its dominant ideology are shaped by men.
Dario Fo and Franca Rame
This biography examines the life and work of Dario Fo and Franca Rame, parties to a unique relationship which draws its strength and inspiration from the old traditions of the harlequin and Commedia dell'Arte.
Andean Tectonics
Andean Tectonics addresses the geologic evolution of the Andes Mountains, the prime global example of subduction-related mountain building. The Andes Mountains form one of the most extensive orogenic belts on Earth, spanning approximately an 8,000-km distance along the western edge of South America, from ~10°N to ~55°S. The tectonic history of the Andes involves a rich record of diverse geological processes, including crustal deformation, magmatism, sedimentary basin evolution, and climatic interactions. This book addresses the range of Andean tectonic processes and their temporal and spatial variations. An improved understanding of these processes is fundamental not only to the Andes but ...
Accidental Death of an Anarchist
Written in 1970, 'Morte Accidentale di un'Anarchico' is Dario Fo's best-known and most popular play. A sharp and hilarious satire on police corruption, and based on a real case, Fo tells the story of the anarchist railway worker who, in 1969, 'fell' to his death from a police headquarters window. It is a piece in which his skill at writing farce and his gifts as a clown brilliantly serve his politics, playing on the tensions between the death of the prisoner and the farcical interventions of the authorities to explain it. The translation by Simon Nye was premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in February 2003.
