E' la storia di un uomo, figlio unico, incastrato nelle relazioni disfunzionali della famiglia. Sin da bambino, si potrebbe dire "è uno a cui non manca niente". ma ha una madre, che pur vivendo per lui, perde di vista il figlio reale, mossa dal bisogno di realizzare, attraverso il figlio, sogni e progetti propri; ed un padre che inconsapevolmente lo usa per dare libero sfogo al malcontento e alle rivendicazioni che lo animano da sempre. I rapporti si complicano col tempo. E oltrepassano il "tempo del figlio", mostrando come il disagio psicologico si possa trasferire da una generazione all'altra.
In una Palermo guardata con occhi incantati, come la vedevano i Fenici che la chiamavano Zyz, il fiore, due ragazzi palermitani, Lidia Gullotta e Salvo Niccolosi, si innamorano e vivono una storia d’amore intensa, travolgente e un po’ folle. Come travolgente e folle è l’amore a quindici anni. I due devono tenere nascosta la loro storia e sono costretti a costruire bugie e sotterfugi per incontrarsi, sia per la mentalità delle famiglie, sia per l’ostilità che c’è tra i loro padri.

Integrated Biomaterials Science provides an intriguing insight into the world of biomaterials. It explores the materials and technology which have brought advances in new biomaterials, highlighting the way in which modern biology and medicine are synergistically linked to other key scientific disciplines-physics, chemistry, and engineering. In doing so, Integrated Biomaterials Science contains chapters on tissue engineering and gene therapy, standards and parameters of biomaterials, applications and interactions within the industrial world, as well as potential aspects of patent regulations. Integrated Biomaterials Science serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding this dynamic field, yet is designed so that chapters may be read and understood independently, depending on the needs of the reader. Integrated Biomaterials Science is attractive to a broad audience interested in a deeper understanding of this evolving field, and serves as a key resource for researchers and students of biomaterials courses, providing all with an opportunity to probe further.
The time of Carnival represents a "wild" time at the end of winter and pointing to the beginning of a new season. It is characterized by the irruption of border figures, animal masks, characters which recall the world of the dead and which bring within themselves the germ of a vital force, of the energy that produces the reawakening of nature and announces the growth and fertility of the new crops. This wild domain shows itself under the shapes of a contiguity between human and animal: the costumes, the masks, refer to a world in which the characteristics of the human and those of the animal are fused and intertwined. Among these figures, in particular, emerge those of the Wild Man, the huma...
