Archcube
This volume contains the results of a course of "Assisted architectural design" which experimented various innovative aspects of design teaching. At present the new frontier is represented by very complex computer tools and programmes that encompass all the previous techniques and propose new ones, which for the architect have become the major instrument for representative and expressive potential. The experience conducted has engaged the students not only in becoming acquainted with the most updated programmes of computer graphics, but above all in the development of this new technique of expression in close relation to a design experience.
Collectio Mineralium
This work is the critical edition of the catalog of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold’s II mineralogical collection. The volume, unpublished and preserved at the Historical Archives of the University of Firenze Museum System, dates to 1765 and describes 242 mineralogical specimens coming primarily from the current Slovak-Hungarian mining district. This edition gives the transcription of the German manuscript and its translation into English together with an organized system of notation to illustrate the complex history of the text, the characterization of the mineralogical species, and the geographical location of the mineral extraction sites. This work represents to date the only published catalog of a mineralogical collection belonging to a member of the Habsburg-Lorraine family.
Italian Crime Filmography, 1968-1980
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.
Decoding the Stars: A Biography of Angelo Secchi, Jesuit and Scientist
Winner of the 2021 Donald E. Osterbrock Book Prize for Historical Astronomy In Decoding the Stars, Ileana Chinnici offers an account of the life of the Jesuit scientist Angelo Secchi (1818-1878). In addition to providing an invaluable account of Secchi’s life and work—something that has been sorely lacking in the English-language scholarship—this biography will be especially stimulating for those interested in the evolution of astrophysics as a discipline from the nineteenth century onward. Despite his eclecticism, reminiscent of the natural philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Secchi was in many ways a very modern scientist: open to innovation and cooperation, and a promoter of popularization and citizen science. Secchi also appears fully inserted in the cultural context of his time: he participated in philosophical and scientific debates, spread new theories and ideas, but also suffered the consequences of political events that marked those years and impacted on his life and activities.

L'Architettura dell"altra" modernità
La storiografia ha guardato alla produzione architettonica del Novecento con differenti apporti critici, ma denominatore comune è stato il perenne riferimento al Movimento Moderno, ritenuto il parametro unico e il termine di paragone per qualunque "giudizio di valore". Ne è conseguito che, superficialmente etichettata quale manifestazione accademica o tardo Eclettica, gran parte dell'operosità degli architetti della prima metà del Novecento è stata a lungo emarginata dalle trattazioni di Storia dell'architettura contemporanea. È il ripetersi di giudizi categorici e condizionanti l'ambiente culturale non nuovi nella Storia, spesso riferibili ad un'impostazione accademica che meraviglia ...
Camion Blanc
Dans ce deuxième tome, Louis de Ny nous propose d‘effectuer une nouvelle plongée au coeur du Petit Monde du Rock progressif Italien. Il y a bien sûr à nouveau une sélection d'albums d'hier et d'aujourd'hui avec une fois de plus beaucoup de découvertes à savourer et de curiosités à explorer. Il en profite aussi pour revenir longuement sur les années quatre-vingt et ainsi compléter son anthologie de ce courant musical si particulier et si riche dont la vitalité ne cesse de surprendre. La partie la plus originale est sûrement celle consacrée aux musiciens actuels du mouvement progressif italien. Ce sont eux qui s'expriment directement dans ce livre, qui nous permettent d'entrer dans leur sphère et ainsi de mieux comprendre ce qui les fait avancer dans un contexte général économiquement peu porteur et culturellement peu ouvert aux musiques progressives. Quand vous aurez terminé de lire ce livre, vous comprendrez alors mieux la signification de son sous-titre : Le Théâtre des émotions.
Dono Imperiale
Il volume presenta il progetto di recupero, catalogazione e valorizzazione della collezione donata dall’Imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero Giuseppe II (1741-1790) al Gabinetto Mineralogico del Collegio Nazareno di Roma nel 1785. Quest’ultima rappresenta, ad oggi, l’unica collezione di ambito geo-mineralogico ascrivibile con certezza a Giuseppe II. Le schede dei campioni, redatte in base alle normative nazionali ICCD per la catalogazione dei beni mineralogici (BNM) e petrologici (BNPE), sono liberamente accessibili sul Catalogo Generale dei Beni Culturali. La collezione è visitabile, nel suo nuovo allestimento permanente, presso l’Istituto San Giuseppe Calasanzio di Roma. Questa pubblicazione è stata realizzata nell’ambito del progetto PANN20_00605 “Dono imperiale. La Collezione mineralogica dell’Imperatore Giuseppe II al Collegio Nazareno di Roma” finanziato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca, Contributi annuali - Legge 6/2000 – D.D. 1524 del 21/01/2019.
