The result of an international congress (Roquebrune-sur-Argens, October 2019) about the fortified hilltop settlements of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, papers present both brand new data and syntheses on wide contexts throughout the European continent, the Mediterranean basin and beyond.
Perchement et Realites Fortifiees en Mediterranee et en Europe, Veme-Xeme Siecles / Fortified Hilltop Settlements in the Mediterranean and in Europe (5th-10th centuries) is the result of the International Congress held in October 2019 in Roquebrune-sur-Argens about the fortified hilltop settlements of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The congress brought together many of the most prominent scholars in the field (principally archaeologists) to present both brand new data and syntheses on wide contexts throughout the European continent, the Mediterranean basin and beyond. The book stands as the most recent and comprehensive update on the 'perchement' (i.e. the fortified hilltop settlement) and it will represent a benchmark for scholars working on this topic for decades to come.
Forgeries present a daunting problem to art historians, museums, galleries and curators who face challenges in determining the authenticity of paintings. Recent progress in science has led to the development of new methods for investigating works of art, and can provide new insights into the materials found in paintings. The rise in the value of paintings together with the knowledge and skills of forgers highlights the need to develop reliable scientific procedures to identify fakes. Given the complexity of materials in paintings and the convergence of various disciplines, a methodological approach for nvestigations of paintings is based on art historical, curatorial, aesthetic, technical an...
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience.Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

La ricerca Sixxi (Twentieth Century Structural Engineering: the Italian Contribution) ha lo scopo di ricostruire la storia dell'ingegneria strutturale in italia. una storia avvincente, a tratti gloriosa, e comunque singolare. una storia, inopinatamente, dimenticata. Nei volumi di questa serie intendiamo raccontare la vicenda, così come la veniamo man mano riscoprendo. le indagini restituiscono alcuni episodi della storia, recuperati con studi trasversali su territori largamente inesplorati. in appendice, un fotoromanzo a puntate (invenzione italiana) illustra in breve la sequenza complessiva degli eventi e delle opere principali e ripropone l'universo figurativo scomparso dell’ingegneria ...
