Storia della mafia
La mafia fa affari ma non è una congrega di affaristi. Traffica, ma non è una banda di trafficanti. Tratta con i politici ma non è un partito politico. È un’organizzazione criminale ma non è solo «criminalità organizzata». Cos’è, dunque, la mafia? Il fortunato saggio di Salvatore Lupo per la prima volta indaga con completezza e rigore storiografico l’intero arco della vicenda più che secolare della mafia siciliana, dalle origini ottocentesche dell’organizzazione mafiosa e delle sue ideologie agli esiti più recenti degli anni novanta del Novecento. Emerge con forza il ritratto di una struttura criminale che aspira a modellarsi sullo Stato prendendone in appalto le funzioni fondamentali, dal monopolio della violenza al controllo territoriale. Ecco allora la necessità di ricostruire la vita secolare delle «signorie territoriali», dei gruppi familiari e criminali operanti innanzitutto nei ristretti territori della città e della provincia di Palermo, vero e stabile fulcro dell’organizzazione mafiosa: da qui ripartendo fino a sciogliere i mille sanguinosi fili che la connettono alla nazione e al più vasto mondo.

It is no accident that the rise of the Mafia coincided with the unification of Italy and the influx of immigrants into America. The Mafia means more than a horse head under the sheets--it functions as an alternative to the state, providing its own social and political justice. Combining a nuanced history with a unique counternarrative concerning stereotypes...

Urban Heat Stress and Mitigation Solutions
This book provides the reader with an understanding of the impact that different morphologies, construction materials and green coverage solutions have on the urban microclimate, thus affecting the comfort conditions of urban inhabitants and the energy needs of buildings in urban areas. The book covers the latest approaches to energy and outdoor comfort measurement and modelling on an urban scale, and describes possible measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of the mutual interaction between urban settlements and local microclimate.
