The Brazilian berimbau, a musical bow, is most commonly associated with the energetic martial art/dance/game of capoeira. This study explores the berimbau's stature from the 1950s to the present in diverse musical genres including bossa nova, samba-reggae, MPB (Popular Brazilian Music), electronic dance music, Brazilian art music, and more. Berimbau music spans oral and recorded historical traditions, connects Latin America to Africa, juxtaposes the sacred and profane, and unites nationally constructed notions of Brazilian identity across seemingly impenetrable barriers. The Berimbau: Soul of Brazilian Music is the first work that considers the berimbau beyond the context of capoeira, and explores the bow's emergence as a national symbol. Throughout, this book engages and analyzes intersections of musical traditions in the Black Atlantic, North American popular music, and the rise of global jazz. This book is an accessible introduction to Brazilian music for musicians, Latin American scholars, capoeira practitioners, and other people who are interested in Brazil's music and culture.
In the fall of 1973, George, his wife, Sue, and their Italian-born two-year-old daughter Anne noticed a bent-over sign that read Gioviano and, on a whim, decided to see what lay at the end of the road. After twenty-eight hairpin turns up the side of a mountain on the flanks of the Apuanian Alps overlooking the Serchio Valley some twenty miles north of the city of Lucca, the Russell family arrived at one of the most charming and unspoiled villages left in Italy. That little adventure would change their lives forever and perhaps even the lives and future of the little hill town itself. from My Tuscan Window chronicles the experiences of the Russell family over the course of thirty-seven years in the little Tuscan hill town of Gioviano.

This monograph presents a unitary account of Dewey’s philosophy of science and demonstrates the relevance for contemporary debates. The book is written from a theoretical angle and explains Dewey's via on Experience, Language, Inquiry, Construction and Realism. Via taking this route the book addresses key philosophical problems - such as the nature of language, the idea of experience, the notion of logical constructivism, the criticism of representationalism and the nature of scientific practices. John Dewey (1859-1952) is one of the most representative philosophers of the United States. He is well known for his work in education, psychology and social reform and one of the primary figures...
Nelle operazioni con l'estero, il contratto dovrebbe rappresentare il momento in cui le rispettive esigenze, esperienze e professionalità dei merchants e dei lawyers vengono condivise e contemperate in vista del raggiungimento dei traguardi, e non da ultimo del profitto, che l'impresa italiana intende raggiungere. Una simile impostazione comporta per il giurista a cui sia affidata la redazione del testo di un contratto internazionale una maggior attenzione nella redazione ed una maggiore sforzo per comprendere prima, e poi disciplinare, l'operatività delle procedure imprenditoriali attraverso cui le parti dovranno realizzare, pensando alla possibile litigation non soltanto come ad un possi...
"Proof theory is a central area of mathematical logic of special interest to philosophy . It has its roots in the foundational debate of the 1920s, in particular, in Hilbert's program in the philosophy of mathematics, which called for a formalization of mathematics, as well as for a proof, using philosophically unproblematic, "finitary" means, that these systems are free from contradiction. Structural proof theory investigates the structure and properties of proofs in different formal deductive systems, including axiomatic derivations, natural deduction, and the sequent calculus. Central results in structural proof theory are the normalization theorem for natural deduction, proved here for b...
Il libro esamina le cessioni di beni e le prestazioni di servizi sotto il complesso profilo della territorialità. La localizzazione territoriale dell'operazione non è sempre di facile individuazione ed incide sugli adempimenti legati alla normativa dell’IVA comunitaria. L’art. 7 del D.P.R. 633/72, sin dall’origine, ha comportato delle difficoltà interpretative. A partire dal 1° gennaio 2010 con il D.Lgs. 11 febbraio 2010 n. 18, sono state apportate sostanziali modifiche in tema di territorialità delle prestazioni di servizi, introducendo nuovi articoli che vanno dal 7 al 7-septies con regole applicative innovative. Per arrivare alla soluzione di un caso specifico, occorre sempre c...
