Empires and Nations from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century
This volume is the result of an international conference held at Sapienza University in Rome on June 20 and 21, 2013, as the final stage of the PRIN (Progetto di rilevante interesse nazionale) project “Empires and Nations from the 18th to the 20th century”, during which scholars from all over the world – academics, specialists, young researchers, PhD students and post-doctorates – confronted diverse, but connected, topics on the relations between multinational empires and the idea of the nation.

Prekmurje
Knjiga o Prekmurju je delo devetnajstih domačih in tujih avtoric in avtorjev, ki v svojih razpravah obravnavajo kulturne, socialne, zgodovinske in naravne značilnosti te panonske pokrajine in jih sklenejo v zanimivo zgodbo. Pokrajina, ki s svojimi geografskimi in kulturnimi posebnostmi navdušuje naključne obiskovalce in turiste, je predstavljena v vsej svoji raznolikosti in povezanosti s širšim evropskim kulturnim prostorom, ki je močno zaznamoval življenje, razmišljanje in ustvarjanje tukajšnjih ljudi. Avtorji v besedilih pojasnjujejo, zakaj je prekmurska ljudska pesem tako drugačna od pesmi iz drugih slovenskih pokrajin, zakaj ima Prekmurje toliko posebnosti v prehrani, praznovanjih in obredih, katere so značilnosti prekmurščine in njene javne rabe, kakšno je bilo življenje prekmurskih družin nekoč in kakšna so pričakovanja Prekmurcev danes, kako bogata zgodovina Prekmurja zaznamuje sedanjost, katere so glavne posebnosti vegetacije v Prekmurju? V knjigi objavljena besedila osvetlijo to panonsko pokrajino kot prehoden in s sosednjimi kulturnimi območji močno povezan prostor, kar je pomembno sooblikovalo svojske prekmurske kulturne in naravne značilnosti.
Antarctic Peninsula Region of the Southern Ocean
The book is based on results from the Russian expedition in the region of the Antarctic Peninsula and Powell Basin in the northern part of the Weddell Sea, as well as on the review of earlier research in the region. The main goal of the research was to collect the newest data and study the physical properties and ecology of this key region of the Southern Ocean. Data analysis is supplemented with numerical modeling of the atmosphere-ocean interaction and circulation in the adjacent region, including research on rogue waves. The focus of the study was the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, currents and water properties in the Bransfield Strait and Antarctic Sound, properties of seawater, currents, ecosystem and biological communities in the Powell Basin of the northwestern Weddell Sea, and their variations. An attempt is made to reveal the role of various components of the Antarctic environment in the formation of biological productivity and maintenance of the Antarctic krill population. This is especially important as in the last decades the Antarctic environment has experienced significant changes related to the global climatic trends.
Language Choice in Enlightenment Europe
This multinational collection of essays challenges the traditional image of a monolingual Ancient Regime in Enlightenment Europe, both East and West. Its archival research explores the important role played by selective language use in social life and in the educational provisions in the early constitution of modern society. A broad range of case studies show how language was viewed and used symbolically by social groups - ranging from the nobility to the peasantry - to develop, express, and mark their identities.
