Giovanni Battista Guccia
This book examines the life and work of mathematician Giovanni Battista Guccia, founder of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and its renowned journal, the Rendiconti del Circolo matematico di Palermo. The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia’s activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler’s Acta Mathematica in Stockholm. Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.
Queen Of Killers
He took everything from me, now it's my turn and what my husband isn't expecting, is that I play on BLOOD I was his second choice, his biggest mistake. I never wanted things to turn out the way they did, but they did. Now my choice is limited. Join him, or end him. What will I choose? The clock is ticking, my friend's life is hanging on a thread and I, Aliyana Capello am the only one who can save him. But at what cost? I love my husband, but sometimes love is not enough, sometimes there are more important moves that need to be made. It is unfortunate that some would need to fall so I, the Queen of Killers can take my place and lead them all. Once all is done, I will need to confess. So I am going to start by saying forgive me. The final part of Secrets of the Famiglia, tells all. This is an enemy to lovers book, read at your own risk, no promises of a happy ending, but I guarantee you, this story will blow your mind.
Capo Dei Capi
The lines that blur between love and war are often the only thing keeping you alive. I wasn't a full Italian. My mother was a Russian, a female of the Bratva. To create peace between the Famiglia, her family gave her up. My father always said I was born lucky; I would never have to marry for power. I could choose. And for a while, I believed him. For a while, I thought I could marry the one I love. Until HE, Marco Catelli, eldest son of the Capo of the Famiglia, lost his betrothed and rose to be the Capo Dei Capi, The Boss of all Bosses. Until he needed an heir, a wife. Until he chose me. My name is Aliyana Capello, daughter of Consigliere Sartini Capello, and this is my confession. "Bury hi...
Reading the Body
Classical and anthropological archaeologists share many of the same interests and confront many of the same problems studying extinct cultures. Despite differences in background and training, scholars in these disciplines are all engaged in analyzing and interpreting the archaeological record. Traditionally, however, there have been few opportunities for classical archaeologists and anthropologists to discuss mutually beneficial perspectives in method and theory. The study of gender and its representations affords an opportunity for archaeologists and anthropologists to share information and increase our understanding of how people lived in the past. Reading the Body contains current anthropological and archaeological research about the body and the archaeological record-both physical remains and artistic representations-from sites all over the world ranging in time from the European Upper Paleolithic to the Pueblo societies of the recent past. Essay topics include the reconstruction of the lives of Etruscan women from skeletal remains, gender symbolism in Inuit burials, the erotic clothing of Crete's Minoan culture, and gender identities in Maya ceramic paintings.
Improving working conditions in platform work in the light of the recent proposal for a directive
This collective work has the aim to bring together several contributions by scholars from different Countries through the leitmotif of the analysis of work through digital platforms, also in the light of the latest proposal for a European Union directive. The first section focuses on the analysis of digital platform work, in various aspects, including issues concerning the use of artificial intelligence. The second section analyses issues related to the development of workers’ rights through digital platforms. In the third section, the authors made considerations on the intervention of the draft directive on qualification.

Modern Forms of Work
The collective volume “Modern Forms of Work. A European Comparative Study” evokes the intent to embody a reflection focused on modern labour law issues from a comparative perspective. A first set of essays contains national reports on modern forms of work. The second group contains some reflections regarding critical issues on digitalization, platforms and algorithms, analysing the different facets of the galaxy of digital work. The third group of essays flows into the section entitled “new balances and workers’ rights in the digital era”, a crucial topic in the debate. The complex of the writings, despite the diversity of approaches and methods, reveals the existence of a dense and inexhaustible dialogue between young scholars, at European and extra-European level. The analysis of new forms of work – the offspring of transnational processes of globalization and technologization – forms a fertile ground for experimenting a transnational dialogue on which young researchers can practice with excellent results, as this small volume confirms.
