A Darker Shade of Sweden
"Containing seventeen stories, never before published in English, 'A Darker Shade of Sweden' illuminates this beguiling country and its inhabitants as never before. Included are stories from such Swedish literary luminaries as: Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, Asa Larsson, and Eva Gabrielsson."--Provided by publisher.
Tintoretto
"Considered one of the three greatest painters of sixteenth-century Venice, along with Titian and Veronese, Tintoretto was a bold innovator. His free, expressive brushwork made his work look unfinished to contemporaries but is now recognized as a key step in the development of oil-on-canvas painting. Even today's audiences are astonished by the superhuman scale, painterly dynamism, and visionary qualities of his work. On the 500th anniversary of Tintoretto's birth, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of his career and achievement, with fifteen essays and reproductions of more than 140 paintings--many newly conserved--as well as a selection of his finest drawings. One special contribution is a focus on the artist's portraiture" -- Library of Congress.
Light and Dust
This book is a reflection on the subjects and places that made the deepest impression on the author during his years spent in Eastern Africa. His interest and skill in capturing the emotions of wild animals, their resilience and beauty make it unique. The author has sought out the most dramatic weather conditions for his photographs--morning mists, dust storms and heavy rains, or rays of light shining through the clouds--and followed the animals on endless journeys along ancient trails, accross dry lakes or raging rivers, documenting their never-ending fight for survival. He had his camera with him all the time, always hoping for the perfect blend of elements to come together in one image.
L’eco della valle
L’eco della valle. Sulle note dello Zen è il racconto dei venticinque anni della straordinaria avventura di vita, spiritualità e musica del tempio Zen So ̄to ̄ Shinnyoji di Firenze, testimoniati dalle parole sincere e intense della sua Guida spirituale, la reverenda Shinnyo Marradi. L’opera è una sorta di mappa che accompagna il lettore su un sentiero di avvicinamento alla pratica Zen e alla musica non come percorso letterario unitario, ma come Via da seguire che induca alla creazione di un concerto virtuale a tre voci, quella del Lettore, la voce del Suono, e la saggezza del Dharma, l’insegnamento Buddhista immaginato qui come armoniosa correlazione tra Lettura, Ascolto e Parola. Da questo incontro speciale e irripetibile sorge una meditazione sostenuta dalle parole vive che, assieme alle note musicali, invita a muovere i primi passi sulla soglia della porta senza porta del proprio mondo interiore.
New Metropolitan Perspectives
The book aims to face the challenge of post-COVID-19 dynamics toward green and digital transition, between metropolitan and return to villages’ perspectives. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools, within the urban–rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities. The book focuses on six topics: inner and marginalized areas local development to re-balance territorial inequalities; knowledge and innovation ecosystem for urban regeneration and resilience; metropolitan cities and territorial dynamics; rules, governance, economy, society; green buildings, post-carbon city and ecosystem services; infrastructures and spatial information systems; cultural heritage: conservation, enhancement and management. In addition, the book hosts a Special Section: Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030. The book will benefit all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issues applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.
Puccini
Puccini's operas are among the most popular and widely performed in the world, yet few books have examined his body of work from an analytical perspective. This volume remedies that lack in lively prose accessible to scholars and opera enthusiasts alike.
The Figure of Knowledge
It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism. Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of knowledge has become important in the recent history of architectural theory and how the resulting figure of knowledge sets the conditions for the actual arguments made. The contributions in this volume focus on institutional, geographical, rhetorical, and other conditioning factors. They thus screen the unspoken rules of engagement that postwar architectural theory ascribed to.
