Transforming Biocities
This edited volume centers around the concept of BioCities, which aim to unify nature and urban spaces in order to reverse the effects of global climate change and inequity. Following this principle, the authors propose multiple approaches for sustainable city growth. The discussed concepts are not only relevant for newly constructed cities, but offer transformative perspectives for existing settlements as well. Placing nature at the forefront of city planning is not an entirely new concept, so the authors build on established ideas like the garden city, green city, eco-city, or smart city. All chapters aim to highlight aspects to develop a city that is a resilient nature-based socio-ecologi...
Carbon Dioxide, Populations, and Communities
In past decades and in association with a continuing global industrial development, the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has been rising. Among the many predictions made concerning this disturbing trend is global warming sufficient to melt polar ice-caps thereby dramatically altering existing shorelines. This book will help fill an obvious gap in the carbon dioxide debate by substituting date for speculation. * * Includes contributions from leading authorities around the world * Serves as a companion to Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems * The first book of its kind to explore evolutionary responses of both populations and communities to elevated carbon dioxide
Innovative Biosystems Engineering for Sustainable Agriculture, Forestry and Food Production
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of innovative biosystems engineering for sustainable agriculture, forestry and food production. Focusing on the challenges of implementing sustainability in various contexts in the fields of biosystems engineering, it shows how the research has addressed the sustainable use of renewable and non-renewable resources. It also presents possible solutions to help achieve sustainable production. The Mid-Term Conference of the Italian Association of Agricultural Engineering (AIIA) is part of a series of conferences, seminars and meetings that the AIIA organizes, together with other public and private stakeholders, to promote the creation and dissemination of new knowledge in the sector. The contributions included in the book were selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, and offer an extensive and multidisciplinary overview of interesting solutions in the field of innovative biosystems engineering for sustainable agriculture.
Digital Wood Design
This book explores various digital representation strategies that could change the future of wooden architectures by blending tradition and innovation. Composed of 61 chapters, written by 153 authors hailing from 5 continents, 24 countries and 69 research centers, it addresses advanced digital modeling, with a particular focus on solutions involving generative models and dynamic value, inherent to the relation between knowing how to draw and how to build. Thanks to the potential of computing, areas like parametric design and digital manufacturing are opening exciting new avenues for the future of construction. The book’s chapters are divided into five sections that connect digital wood design to integrated approaches and generative design; to model synthesis and morphological comprehension; to lessons learned from nature and material explorations; to constructive wisdom and implementation-related challenges; and to parametric transfigurations and morphological optimizations.
Biosaline Agriculture and High Salinity Tolerance
A major, worldwide threat to agricultural productivity is undoubtedly due to environments with stressful factors, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Based on contributions presented at the International Conference on Biosaline Agriculture and High Salinity Tolerance, held in Gammarth, Tunisia, November 2006, this book reviews the current state of knowledge in biosaline agriculture and high salinity tolerance in plants.
Tutte le strade partono da Roma
Una guida d'eccezione, con un libro sorprendente e originale, ci accompagna lungo le strade di Roma. Rutelli parla di «ossessione per le stratificazioni di Roma» come chiave per comprenderne l'anima, l'identità così plurale, la capacità di metabolizzare il tempo e di rivolgersi al mondo. Una dichiarazione d'amore per la Capitale. Paolo Conti, "Corriere della Sera" Quasi un romanzo d'amore tra storia, arte e ricordi personali, una 'guida' che muovendo dal chilometro zero del Marco Aurelio sul Campidoglio si incammina per 28 secoli di attualità. Alessandro Beltrami, "Avvenire" Partiamo dal chilometro zero, dalla statua di Marco Aurelio sulla piazza del Campidoglio, e proseguiamo per 28 secoli di storia. Camminando lungo le strade di Roma – dalle più antiche e celebri ai vicoli più nascosti – e attraverso stratificazioni e percorsi inattesi raggiungeremo presto ogni capo del mondo.
I Governi italiani dal 25 aprile 1943
L'aspirazione precipua di questo studio, era quella di fare un po' di luce sulle ragioni dell'origine infausta del nostro colossale debito pubblico e i motivi del suo continuo aumento. Lo studio parte dal 25 aprile 1943, giorno della caduta del governo Mussolini analizzando tutti i governi che si sono succeduti da questa data fino ai giorni nostri.
