After realising their theses’ topics were all related to environmental and human sustainability, a group of young researchers from the Erasmus Mundus International Masters in Global Markets, Local Creativities decided they could take action by sharing their research findings in an easily-understandable, non-academic language, impacting communities outside the academic bubble by making knowledge accessible. This book is the result of the ambition of this group of researchers to critically discuss the main issues of our times: environmental emergency and social inequality. Through a collection of thought-provoking case studies, the reader is invited to reflect upon global issues, from the perspective of local initiatives, considering three main aspects of globalisation: space, global dynamics and social scene, and the role of institutions.

Non è la quiete a precedere la tempesta, ma un’afa insopportabile che infiamma la piccola cittadina adriatica. E quando infine esplode il cielo con tutta la sua violenza, i segreti tornano impietosamente alla luce. Una casa con un giardino pieno di ossa, un morto nei pressi di una chiesetta. E un ragazzo in pericolo, scomparso da giorni. La commissaria Maddalena indaga febbrilmente, ma questa volta ha guai da vendere.
