Analyzing seventeenth-century images of the dead Christ produced by Gregorio Fern?ez, author Ilenia Col?endoza investigates how and why the artist and his patrons manipulated these images in connection with the religious literature of the time to produce striking images that moved the faithful to devotion. In so doing, she contributes new findings to the topic of Spanish sacred sculpture. The author re-examines these sculptures not only in the context of a larger sculptural group but also as independent sculptures that were intended as powerful aids to contemplation and devotion as was prescribed by the writings of San Juan de la Cruz and Luis de Granada. Combining study of the sculptural works with that of liturgical sources, she reveals the connection between the written word and the sculpted work of art. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the author links Fern?ez's sculptural program with the strategic objectives of major patrons of the period, such as the Duke of Lerma and King Philip III of Spain, both fervent defenders of the Catholic faith.
In 1970s Italy, after the decline of the Spaghetti Western, crime films became the most popular, profitable and controversial genre. In a country plagued with violence, political tensions and armed struggle, these films managed to capture the anxiety and anger of the times in their tales of tough cops, ruthless criminals and urban paranoia. Recent years have seen renewed critical interest in the genre, thanks in part to such illustrious fans as Quentin Tarantino. This book examines all of the 220+ crime films produced in Italy between 1968 and 1980, the period when the genre first appeared and grew to its peak. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, a plot summary and the author's own analysis. Excerpts from a variety of sources are included: academic texts, contemporary reviews, and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. There are many onset stills and film posters.
Esta obra marca la necesidad de dar respuestas a esos interrogantes no resueltos en la bibliografía existente sobre construcciones de obras de arquitectura. Estas situaciones que surgen de dudas propias o ajenas, en el tablero o en el lugar de ejecución para cuya resolución no es fácil hallar la fuente de información, ya que es más sencillo encontrar libros sobre temas específicos, con fundamentaciones teóricas y desarrollos analíticos, que los que se ocupen de la problemática profesional de todos los días. Esto no ocurre solamente en la arquitectura o las construcciones, sino que su verificación es común en la literatura técnica o científica en general. Este texto trata temas constructivos en un amplio espectro, desde cómo realizar un dintel de ladrillo visto, una submuración, un pozo absorbente o un revoque símil piedra, hasta llegar a una construcción de albañilería completa. Por la necesidad de responder a las dudas o errores que durante años percibí en las obras y en la consulta de contratistas y colegas, es que nace este libro, destinado a arquitectos, estudiantes y toda persona, profesional o no, que tenga interrogantes sobre aspectos de la actividad.

In een klein stadje aan de voet van de Dolomieten liggen al eeuwenlang de ongerepte tuinen van een verlaten landhuis. Op een dag wordt de nieuwe eigenaar door zijn werklui met grote spoed naar het buitenverblijf geroepen. Er is een macabere vondst gedaan: een graf met het halfvergane lichaam van een man. Aan de ring te zien die dichtbij wordt gevonden, gaat het om een lid van een invloedrijke, adellijke Venetiaanse familie, wier enige zoon enige tijd geleden is ontvoerd. Het onderzoek van commissario Brunetti verloopt moeizaam. Want Brunetti zal eerst de geheimen van de familie moeten ontmaskeren voordat hij kan bevatten waarom deze man moest sterven.
