Provenzano. Il Re di Cosa Nostra
Si è detto e si è scritto di tutto a proposito di Bernardo Provenzano. Di certo si può dire che è stato il boss che – più di ogni altro, e quindi dello stesso Salvatore Riina – è riuscito a sfuggire all’arresto. Circa 40 anni. Un record. Provenzano è divenuto una sorta di “mito”, e non soltanto tra gli affiliati alla organizzazione mafiosa. La sua leggenda, le sue gesta, la sua storia, sono tracciate in larga parte in questo volume, seppure in maniera sintetica. Bernardo Provenzano è stata l’ultima vera “primula rossa” di Cosa nostra, il boss che ha mantenuto la leadership al comando della consorteria criminale più sanguinaria del mondo occidentale, almeno per quel che concerne l’ultimo cin- quantennio a cavallo dei secoli XX e XXI.
Routledge Handbook of the Future of Warfare
This handbook provides a comprehensive, problem-driven and dynamic overview of the future of warfare. The volatilities and uncertainties of the global security environment raise timely and important questions about the future of humanity’s oldest occupation: war. This volume addresses these questions through a collection of cutting-edge contributions by leading scholars in the field. Its overall focus is prognostic rather than futuristic, highlighting discernible trends, key developments and themes without downplaying the lessons from the past.

Invisible City
Invisible City analyzes conventual architecture in terms of the politics of sight, "the optics of power", the relationship between flesh and stone. It uncovers the connections between the bodies of the nuns and the walls that housed them, presenting the architecture of female convents as a metaphor for the body of the aristocratic female virgin nun.
Nicander of Colophon's Theriaca
In modern times the Theriaca of Nicander of Colophon (2nd century BCE) has not attracted many enthusiasts. Its complicated style, abstruse diction and technical subject matter – venomous bites and their remedies – have long put off classical scholars. In the wake of renewed interest in Hellenistic poetry, however, Nicander’s dark poetry deserves new appreciation. In this book Floris Overduin provides a literary commentary on the Theriaca, focusing on Nicander’s artistic merits. Viewed against the background of Alexandrian aesthetics and the didactic epic tradition, Nicander deserves pride of place among his Hellenistic peers. This book, the first full commentary in English, may thus contribute to the reappraisal of Nicander’s Theriaca as a work of literature, not science.
Routledge Handbook of Proxy Wars
This Handbook is the first volume to comprehensively examine the challenges, intricacies, and dynamics of proxy wars, in their various facets. The volume aims to capture the significantly growing interest in the topic at a critical juncture when wars of many guises are becoming multifaceted proxy wars. Most often, proxy wars have wide-ranging implications for international security and are, therefore, a critically important subject of inquiry. The Handbook seeks to understand and explain proxy wars conceptually, theoretically, and empirically, with a focus on the numerous policy challenges and dilemmas they pose. To do so, it presents a multi- and interdisciplinary assessment of proxy wars f...
