The World of Shaft
Mention Shaft and most people think of Gordon Parks' seminal 1971 film starring Richard Roundtree in a leather coat, walking the streets of Manhattan to Isaac Hayes' iconic theme music. But the black private dick who inspired the blaxploitation film genre actually made his debut on the printed page as the creation of a white novelist. Ernest Tidyman was a seasoned journalist down on his luck when he decided to try his hand at fiction. Shaft was the result, giving Tidyman the break he was looking for. He went on to become an Academy Award winning screenwriter and respected film producer. Based on extensive research of Tidyman's personal papers, this book tells the story of Shaft from the perspective of his creator. The author provides new insight and analysis of the writing of the Shaft novels, as well as the production of the films and TV series. First-ever coverage of the forgotten Shaft newspaper comic strip includes previously unseen artwork. Also included is Shaft's recent reappearance on the printed page, in both comic book and prose form.

Publisher description
Magari capita domani
Un appassionato e romantico romanzo d'esordio su una generazione in crisi d'identità. Due coppie che vivono la propria relazione in maniera completamente diversa. Due punti di vista spesso differenti. Il primo con Giacomo, un trentenne lavoratore precario alla ricerca della proprio posto nel mondo, che decide di rivivere la lentezza nei rapporti, riscoprendo l’amore per Francesca, una giovane promettente avvocatessa in preda ad una crisi di identità, che rimescola la sua vita e le sue scelte. Il secondo con Laura, una donna che vive per lavorare, spesso preda della frenesia nelle sue giornate, che la vedono protagonista alla ricerca estenuante di un compagno che ritrova in Paolo, un ragazzo scostante, a tratti serio e capace, a tratti incoerente e superbo. Due modi di riscoprire l’amore opposti e distinti, con Giacomo e Francesca che ricercano il sapore di un tempo, scandito da nove lettere inviate da Giacomo alla sua amata che richiamano i nove mesi della maternità e da un comportamento tipicamente moderno e consumistico di chi come Laura e Paolo, coppia nata da un incontro on-line, decide di sciupare tutto il più rapidamente possibile.
AI*IA 2005: Advances in Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, AI*IA 2005, held in Milan, Italy in September 2005. The 46 revised full papers presented together with 16 revised short papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on either theoretical research with results and proposals, improvements and consolidations, or on applications as there are systems and prototypes, case studies and proposals. Within this classification some of the main classical topics of AI are presented (agents, knowledge representation, machine learning, planning, robotics, natural language, etc.), but here the focus is on the ability of AI computational approaches to face challenging problems and to propose innovative solutions.
