The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy, performed by Prof. Philippe Mouret in 1987 and described by himself in the first chapter of this book, was an event that revolutionized surgery in the past few decades. Although the majority of surgeons today are unfamiliar with the his- ry of early minimally invasive surgery developments, it is important to realize that the advent of laparoscopy led not only to new surgical te- niques, but also to a change in the doctrine of medical care, by streng- ening the concept of minimal invasiveness. This is particularly the case for biliary lithiasis, for which laparoscopy has provided major benefits in terms of both diagnosis and surgical tre- ment. However,...

Este libro tiene dos partes: una, de comentario introductorio y otra, documental. En la primera se analiza el trabajo que ha venido realizando el Tribunal Constitucional italiano desde 1956 hasta 2009 y que se podía resumir, en palabras de Alessandro Pizzorusso, en una labor de educación, en los valores de la Constitución, de los jueces, de los abogados y, en cierta medida, de los propios ciudadanos, que ha producido resultados positivos harto sorprendentes frente a la desafección generalizada hacia esos mismos valores. En la segunda parte se incluye la traducción de 26 de las sentencias más representativas agrupadas en cuatro etapas: la de la consolidación constitucional, la de las transformaciones sociales y políticas, la de la preocupación por la eficiencia y la de la garantía del sistema. © Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales © Boletín Oficial del Estado © Miguel Ángel Presno Linera y Roger Campione Diseño: Área Gráfica Roberto Turégano Cubierta: Representación de la Justicia (Tribunal Constitucional italiano) NIPO (BOE): 007-10-047-8 NIPO (CEPC): 005-10-040-5 Depósito legal: M.-27124-2010

Packed in its dense, historic city centers, Italy holds some of the most prized architecture and art in the world, with which planners and politicians have had to negotiate as they struggle to cope with massive migration from the countryside to the city.

In Italy: Modern Architectures in History, Diane Yvonne Ghirardo addresses these and other issues in her analysis of the last c...
