The Relationship Between Health and Environment Under the Lens of Climate Change: Insights for Policy Makers
The past year, 2023, has been so far the hottest on track, and, sure enough, it won’t keep this record long. We have already reached almost 1.5 C° above the preindustrial average, and the recent first Global Stocktake carried out at COP 28, which was held in Dubai last December (2023), revealed that we still need to enhance dramatically the efforts at the international level to meet Paris Agreement’s goals. The impacts of climate change, along with other forms of anthropic pressures, not only involve devastating consequences for ecosystems, biodiversity and the resilience of the socio-ecological systems we live in, but, as it is emerging from the latest trends in scientific research, it poses under serious threat also public health and well-being.
Disability Worlds
In Disability Worlds, Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp chronicle and theorize two decades of immersion in New York City’s wide-ranging disability worlds as parents, activists, anthropologists, and disability studies scholars. They situate their disabled children’s lives among the experiences of advocates, families, experts, activists, and artists in larger struggles for recognition and rights. Disability consciousness, they show, emerges in everyday politics, practices, and frictions. Chapters consider dilemmas of genetic testing and neuroscientific research, reimagining kinship and community, the challenges of “special education,” and the perils of transitioning from high school. They a...
Dieci Settimane
Una storia che si capovolge nello stomaco e nella mente proprio come un bambino dentro la pancia di una madre. Si gira, si contorce, sbatte perché ogni giorno, giorno dopo giorno, aumenta il suo volume e diminuisce il suo spazio vitale e non vede l'ora di uscire, anche se non è ora. Quattro personaggi, due coppie, Greta e Jacopo, Laura e Marco, che si cercano e si perdono di fronte al dramma di due vite incolpevoli, di fronte a un irrimediabile accadimento.

America in Italian Culture
When Italy unified in 1861, America was emerging as a world power, and advances in communication allowed Italians a view of American life to which they could aspire.

Public History of Education. A Brief Introduction
Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.
