The Imperial Legate
In 2754 the Galactic Empire extends among the stars, dominating thousands of planets. Nothing could resist the expansion of the human race, that submitted every new alien race met in the galaxy with the military force of its space Legions. But a simple request for help sent by a frontier outpost hides a terrible threat: the invasion by an alien, unknown enemy. A new, strong race suddenly upsets the same Empire foundations by a massive attack. Just when the situation seems desperate, Caio Aureliano Veridio, Legate of 83th Legion and Commander of Ares Star Base, decides to risk everything for a chance: he engages the enemy by launching an attack to the same aliens’ heart. The survival of Earth’s Empire is now in one man’s sword: the Imperial Legate.
The Holy Fool in European Cinema
This monograph explores the way that the profile and the critical functions of the holy fool have developed in European cinema, allowing this traditional figure to capture the imagination of new generations in an age of religious pluralism and secularization. Alina Birzache traces the cultural origins of the figure of the holy fool across a variety of European traditions. In so doing, she examines the critical functions of the holy fool as well as how filmmakers have used the figure to respond to and critique aspects of the modern world. Using a comparative approach, this study for the first time offers a comprehensive explanation of the enduring appeal of this protean and fascinating cinematic character. Birzache examines the trope of holy foolishness in Soviet and post-Soviet cinema, French cinema, and Danish cinema, corresponding broadly to and permitting analysis of the three main orientations in European Christianity: Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. This study will be of keen interest to scholars of religion and film, European cinema, and comparative religion.
Bioethanol and Beyond
Bioethanol and Beyond: Advances in Production Process and Future Directions discusses the advances in the production process of bioethanol, ranging from first to fourth generation bioethanol. Bioethanol is currently applied besides simple fuels (biofuel): it is mixed with other fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, and used for generating renewable fuels, such as hydrogen. Advances in the industrial bioethanol (first and second generation) chain point towards the co-energy generation, in situ, and the possibility of generating outside the industry via energetic densification of the residues. A biorefinery is suggested as a strategy to use the industrial residues by amplifying the products port...

C'era una volta in Italia
Dove eravamo rimasti? Allo scoppio di quella bomba a Milano che fece finire gli “innocenti” e “favolosi” anni sessanta. Cominciava un nuovo decennio, e il futuro aveva cambiato padroni. Gli anni settanta, secondo volume di una storia italiana che proseguirà fino ai giorni nostri, vivono ancora oggi nella memoria e nel tumulto: accanto a notevoli e veloci cambiamenti politici (l’ascesa del Pci) e sociali (le leggi sull’aborto e sul divorzio, la chiusura dei manicomi e l’obiezione di coscienza), videro una drammatica svolta violenta, passata sotto il nome di “anni di piombo”. L’eversione di destra mette bombe in treni, stazioni, università e prepara numerosi colpi di stat...
