This book addresses the fundamental changes that the Italian public utilities sector has undergone in the last two decades. Since the late 1990s, liberalisation and privatisation have replaced state-owned monopolies at both the national and local level, new technologies have created a broad range of new opportunities for power generation and distribution, and a redesigned public policy agenda has brought to the fore a whole set of new priorities. In this fast-changing environment, firms have redrawn their strategies, redesigned their business architectures and models, invested in infrastructure and R&D, taken advantage of growth opportunities at home and abroad, opened up their ownership str...
Questo volume si propone come una introduzione allo studio delle culture preclassiche – minoica, micenea, cicladica e cipriota – che si sviluppano fra il III e il I millennio a.C. nel bacino dell’Egeo e del Mediterraneo orientale. Dall’analisi delle evidenze archeologiche, legate alla cultura materiale e alle produzioni artistiche, e della documentazione epigrafica emerge un quadro delle strutture politiche, economico-sociali e religiose in cui si riconoscono fenomeni di continuità e relazioni culturali profonde. Prima ancora della preistoria greca, è questa la storia di una realtà composita, ancora lontana dall’essere compresa appieno, ma che ha un fascino legato ad antichi miti e alla sua capacità di espandersi e interagire con le altre civiltà mediterranee e del Vicino Oriente.
Este ensayo analiza la producción literaria de Javier Egea (Granada 1952-1999) en su conjunto, desde los primeros poemas publicados en revista en los años sesenta hasta los últimos versos inéditos. Su aportación a los estudios egenianos radica en la exploración de la trayectoria artística del granadino en el contexto de las tendencias poéticas en boga en España en el último tercio del siglo xx, haciendo hincapié tanto en el estudio temático y estilístico de los textos de Egea como en la red de relaciones intertextuales que estos establecen con la obra de otros autores. Se ha otorgado especial relevancia al análisis métrico intentando penetrar en el taller del poeta para descifrar sus procedimientos técnicos de creación literaria, puesto que los lectores podemos disfrutar aún más de la belleza de un verso percatándonos de su construcción atenta y rigurosa.
Obra de referencia absoluta llevada a cabo por un grupo de especialistas de diferentes universidades europeas, que ofrece un completo y riguroso recorrido por el mundo del esoterismo desde la Antigüedad a nuestros días, tanto en Occidente como en Oriente, África y América.
"Fascinating and illuminating, informed by outstanding scholarly analysis. . . . With his deft touch, Burns opens a most unusual window on the realities of medieval Iberian Jewish life."--Robert Chazan, author of European Jewry and the First Crusade
This book covers the biotechnology of all the major fruit and nut species. Since the very successful first edition of this book in 2004, there has been rapid progress for many fruit and nut species in cell culture, genomics and genetic transformation, especially for citrus and papaya. This book covers both these cutting-edge technologies and regeneration pathways, protoplast culture, in vitro mutagenesis, ploidy manipulation techniques that have been applied to a wider range of species. Three crop species, Diospyros kaki (persimmon), Punica granatum (pomegranate) and Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) are included for the first time. The chapters are organized by plant family to make it easier to make comparisons and exploitation of work with related species. Each chapter discusses the plant family and the related wild species for 38 crop species, and has colour illustrations. It is essential for scientists and post graduate students who are engaged in the improvement of fruit, nut and plantation crops.
