Roman urban landscape
Knjiga predstavlja nove elemente urbanističnih vidikov rimskih mest in manjših naselij na območju Caput Adriae, Norika in Panonije. V 26 prispevkih 54 avtorjev iz osmih držav (Italije, Slovenije, Avstrije, Madžarske, Hrvaške, Srbije, Črne gore in Severne Makedonije) poskuša razširiti védenje o razvoju mest in nekaterih drugih pomembnih naselij. Prva dva članka predstavljata širše, a različne poglede na urbanizacijo. V naslednjem delu je obravnavanih 22 naselij. Skrajni severovzhod X. regije predstavljajo štiri naselja (Aquileja, Tergeste, Emona in Nauport). V knjigo je vključena večina avtonomnih mest v Noriku ter nekatera druga naselbinska območja (Celeja, Flavia Solva, Vi...
MVLTA PER ÆQVORA
Quest'omaggio in due volumi tratta di un’archeologia al plurale, o piuttosto di archeologie, nell’accezione che la studiosa amava intendere. Un modo d’insegnare, fare ricerca e divulgazione estraneo a cloisonnements disciplinari teorici. Se, infatti, il volume I spazia dall’archeometria a Pompei, o ancora dall’urbanistica allo studio paesaggistico, il volume II affronta temi che dall’esegesi letterario-iconografica si spingono fino all’analisi stratigrafica. Il fil rouge è la dinamica tra dettaglio e sintesi, tesa alla finalità ultima della ricerca archeologica, l’essere umano. Un’opera che riproduce la dialettica tra il chaos proprio all’innata curiositas di Sara Santoro ed un ugualmente suo e solido kosmos metodologico: due dimensioni legate l’una all’altra e che in lei raggiungevano la più alta espressione nell’entusiasmo di un insegnamento etimologicamente enciclopedico.
The Oxford Handbook of Roman Imagery and Iconography
"Roman imagery and iconography are typically studied under the more general umbrella of Roman art and in broader, medium-specific studies. This handbook focuses primarily on visual imagery in the Roman world, examined by context and period, and the evolving scholarly traditions of iconographic analysis and visual semiotics that have framed the modern study of these images. As such topics-or, more directly, the isolation of these topics from medium-specific or strictly temporal evaluations of Roman art-are uncommon in monograph-length studies, our goal is that this handbook will be an important reference for both the communicative value of images in the Roman world and the tradition of iconographical analysis. The chapters herein represent contributions from a number of leading and emerging authorities on Roman imagery and iconography from across the world, representing a variety of academic traditions and methods of image analysis"--
CIL, 5182 - Scritto nella pietra
Come in un romanzo scorre la splendida carriera del legato imperiale C. Ummidio Durmio Quadrato, fra guerre e conquiste, intrighi e complotti. Qui l’avvincente sistema di vita dell’Impero Romano si mostra in tutto il suo fascino e la sua potenza, intrecciandosi a miti, leggende e riti religiosi degli dei dell’Olimpo e dei diversi popoli sottomessi.

Plants in Human Health and Nutrition Policy
The present volume includes a series of studies on edible wild plants and their impact on human health. Today the diet of developed societies is limited to a few cultivated vegetables while the developing countries often lack an adequate supply of micronutrients. Wild plants contain antioxidant, omega-3 fatty acid and micronutrient components that contribute to both a decrease in the risk for chronic diseases as well as the reduction of nutritional deficiencies. Thus they address many diet-related problems at both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum. Results from research provide data on the composition of indigenous plants from various areas of the world and show that consumption of green leafy vegetables corrects deficiencies successfully. The book also deals with nutrition policy integrating indigenous foods against micronutrient deficiency. Implementation of scientific evidence is an essential precondition for improving nutrition policy. Nutritionists, food producers, botanists, agronomists, food technologists, pharmacologists as well as all professionals involved with food policy and human development will find in this book a valuable and updated basis for their work.

Organization-Representation
The representation of organizations and working life in the popular media signifies, but also helps shape, contemporary practice and institutions. Organization-Representation unravels the complex social relationship between organization and its representation, offering new insights into the interaction between the popular images we create and receive, and the power relations that govern society, working life and culture. Representations in Hollywood movies, ethnographic and documentary films, children's literature and the popular and `quality' press replicate the power structures they supposedly describe and consequently help shape contemporary realities. This volume offers rich insights into the relations between cu
The Documentary Film Book
Powerfully posing questions of ethics, ideology, authorship and form, documentary film has never been more popular than it is today. Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film. In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies.
