Questo non è l'ennesimo repertorio etimologico-linguistico sull'origine dei Rossi, dei Messina o dei Parodi, ma un libro che ragiona di una storia lunga mille anni e si addentra con curiosità nella giungla dei cognomi italiani. Sergio Luzzatto, "Il Sole 24 Ore" Un'indagine appassionata lungo i secoli alla ricerca della nascita e dell'affermazione della funzione sociale del cognome. Francesca Bolino, "la Repubblica" Nel corso del tempo gli Italiani si sono chiamati fra loro in tanti modi, e quello che noi chiamiamo cognome si è sviluppato molto lentamente, come risultato dell'interazione di vari fattori: la coscienza di sé degli individui e delle famiglie (a cominciare da quelle nobili), la necessità di distinguersi e riconoscersi all'interno delle comunità di appartenenza, la spinta proveniente dalla Chiesa e dagli Stati verso la regolamentazione dell'identità onomastica di ognuno... È una storia non del tutto finita e che non finirà mai. Tutti hanno un cognome: oggi è un fatto così scontato che lo si potrebbe quasi considerare naturale. In realtà si tratta dell'esito di una lunga storia.
The book’s primary intention is to serve as a roadmap for professionals working in developing countries interested in the Nexus Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) approach. The book shows a multi-disciplinary approach, showcasing the importance of the proper use of Nexus WEFE when implementing certain development programs in regions around the globe. It can be presented as a manual for an individual that either wishes to implement intervention projects following the NEXUS approach or students interested in cooperation and development. The book begins with a general explanation of the theoretical concepts and implementation processes of Nexus WEFE and continues getting into case studies, explaining the importance of proper implementation and potential drawbacks and solutions to them. This book has a particular focus on the European Union cooperation policies when implementing such an approach in developing countries.
