The origin of this book is due to a short story competition "Short Stories to Tell" on the occasion of the English Language Day, framed within a programme of activities developed by the Language Centre of the University of Almeria and the Vice-Rectorate for Communication and University Extension. Those responsible for this activity are the lecturers of the Department of Philology Rosario Lisciandro and María del Mar Palenzuela Pérez in collaboration with Tim Spratt, teacher of the Language Centre. The book is made up of 29 stories in English whose authors are students and lovers of the English language. The stories are original and have been selected by a jury. The thematic variety of the stories gives the book an interesting, entertaining, heterogeneous and culturally diverse character. Moreover, the cultural and nationality diversity of the authors gives the book a distinctive element.
In this much-needed text, the author provides dilemma-based teaching cases that teachers and early childhood leaders can analyze and discuss to build problem-solving and decision-making skills. Readers will reflect on challenges they are likely to experience in practice, addressing issues such as linguistically and culturally isolated children, children refusing to share with others, high-energy children struggling to develop self-regulation and executive function, and children experiencing trauma. They will also examine issues related to inadequate resources and teacher compensation. Each case portrays early childhood practitioners as they transform challenging scenarios into opportunities ...
The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent many changes in the 1980s, with masters such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda dying or retiring and young filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava (Macabro, Demons) and Michele Soavi (The Church) surfacing. Horror films proved commercially successful in the first half of the decade thanks to Dario Argento (both as director and producer) and Lucio Fulci, but the rise of made-for-TV products has resulted in the gradual disappearance of genre products from the big screen. This book examines all the Italian Gothic films of the 1980s. It includes previously unpublished trivia and production data taken from official archive papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, actors and scriptwriters. The entries include a complete cast and crew list, plot summary, production history and analysis. Two appendices list direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films.
The fields of performance studies, empirical musicology, and the musicology of recordings have seen a tremendous development in recent years, shedding new light on the recent history of our performing tradition and conveying essential information to music practitioners, critics and audiences. This innovative work considers the notion of bel canto and the manner in which this vibrant tradition lives in the records of Luisa Tetrazzini (1871-1940), one of the most celebrated sopranos ever. Tetrazzini, whose discographic career includes about 120 recordings, belongs to that generation of inspirational performers who heralded the dawn of a new era of music appreciation, alongside such iconic figu...
This book provides a clinical and forensic approach to personality disorders. It references the 10th and 11th editions of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10 and ICD-11). It allows the reader to compare categorical (ICD-10) and dimensional (ICD-11) classifications and consider a third—hybrid—classification, as advocated by several scholars. Laying down various diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, this book will appeal to clinical and forensic psychiatrists, psychologists, residents of psychiatry, and students of medicine and psychology.

These 301 letters between Verdi and Bioto show a picture of daily life of European art and artists during the last decades of the 19th century.
This discography provides, for perhaps the first time, a complete numerical catalogue of Italian gramophone recordings made by the Gramophone Company Ltd. Kelly has effectively used the archives and registers of EMI Limited (The Gramophone Company) to offer a richly detailed picture of recording activity during the years 1898 to 1929. The Gramophone Company was established in London in 1898 and by 1899 six branches had been set up in Europe, among them Milan, Italy. In each branch, matrixes were numbered serially and coded to indicate recorder, making it possible to identify not only the first Gramophone record to be made in Italy--Bice Adami singing Voi lo sapete with piano accompaniment--b...
