Mafia & Mafiosi
This is a sociological study of a distinct subculture - the Mafioso - whose behavioural patterns have been largely determined by the specific political, economic and social history of Sicily: a society characterized by a weak state and organized on the basis of self-help.
Chasing the Mafia
The ‘ndrangheta – the Calabrian region of Italy’s mafia – is one of wealthiest and most powerful criminal organizations today. It is considered Italy’s most powerful mafia; it’s not only the main object of concern for anti-mafia units in Italy, but also for joint investigative teams in Europe and beyond. Combining autobiography, travel ethnography, memoir, academic rigour and investigative journalism, this book provides a global outlook on the ‘ndrangheta, taking the reader to small villages and locations in Italy and abroad to Australia, Canada, United States and Argentina.
Provenzano. Il Re di Cosa Nostra
Si è detto e si è scritto di tutto a proposito di Bernardo Provenzano. Di certo si può dire che è stato il boss che – più di ogni altro, e quindi dello stesso Salvatore Riina – è riuscito a sfuggire all’arresto. Circa 40 anni. Un record.

La sua leggenda, le sue gesta, la sua storia, sono tracciate in larga parte in questo volume, seppure in maniera sintetica. Bernardo Provenzano è stata l’ultima vera “primula rossa” di Cosa nostra, il boss che ha mantenuto la leadership al comando della consorteria criminale più sanguinaria del mondo occidentale, almeno per quel che concerne l’ultimo cin- quantennio a cavallo dei secoli XX e XXI.

Vast applications of the following specific stem cells in disease and tissue injury are discussed: embryonic stem cells, human mesenchymal stem cells, cancer stem cells, arterial stem cells, neural stem cells, cardiac stem cells, dental stem cells, limbal stem cells, and hematopoietic stem cells.
