Communicating archaeological heritage at the institutional level reflects on the current status of archeology, and a lack of communication between archaeologists and the general public only serves to widen the gap of understanding. As holders of this specific scientific expertise, effective openness and communication is essential to understanding how a durable future can be built through comprehension of the past and the importance of heritage sites and collections. Developing Effective Communication Skills in Archaeology is an essential research publication that examines archeology as a method for present researchers to interact and communicate with the past, and as a methods for identifying the overall trends in the needs of humanity as a whole. Presenting a vast range of topics such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and heritage awareness, this book is essential for archaeologists, journalists, heritage managers, sociologists, educators, anthropologists, museum curators, historians, communication specialists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, and students.
Housing means prosperity and security for some; poverty, precarity and sickness for others. More people live in private rented accommodation than ever before, and rents rise without apparent reason. Homes are smaller every year, and nearly 20 per cent of tenants live in hazardous conditions. Homelessness is at a new high. Yet the government's only solution is to promote homeownership. Against Landlords shows that this crisis is not the product of happenstance or political incompetence. Government policy has intentionally split British citizens into homeowners and renters, two classes set on very different financial paths. In the UK, one out of every twenty-one adults is a landlord, and it is...
The Sixth Son is the second novel of a trilogy on human trafficking involving US Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and their relentless effort to curb Mexican cartel shipments of kidnapped women and children across the US border. Unlike the prequel, The Old Cop, which involved a retired US Agent, Agustín Camelia's intrepid efforts to battle this evil, The Sixth Son concerns the struggles of a highly regarded Maryland family, the Mancinis, who recently made a bizarre discovery about their late patriarch, Geovani Mancini, who migrated to the US from Sicily in 1939 with the assistance of Sicilian mafia members. Unknown dubious New York relations now threaten to tear the family apart. Geov...
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s life was turbulent and short. He was only in his late thirties when he died and yet he managed to achieve tremendous artistic success. A native of Caravaggio, near Milan, he was born in 1571 and moved to Rome after training with Simone Peterzano, a pupil of Titian. In the papal city, his talent was recognized by the influential collector and art connoisseur Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, who promoted his art. Within a few years Caravaggio became one of the most sought-after painters in Italy and abroad. His style was so striking and unique that artists from all over adopted it as their own. Caravaggio: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works focuses on his life, his works, and legacy. It features a chronology, an introduction offers a brief account of his life, a cross-referenced dictionary section contains entries on his individual paintings, public commissions his patrons, his followers, and the techniques he used in rendering his works.
UN ROMANZO EMOZIONANTE, IN CUI L'ODIO SI TRASFORMA IN AMORE. Arianna ha diciannove anni e un grande sogno: diventare zoologa e lavorare a stretto contatto con gli animali. Tuttavia, i problemi economici della sua famiglia l'hanno costretta a mettere in stand-by i suoi progetti e ad accettare un lavoro come cameriera in un locale frequentato da cantanti e vip di ogni genere e tipo. Tra questi c'è Mattia, in arte Gelo, un rapper che ha perso l'ispirazione e conduce una vita sregolata. Per redimerlo agli occhi dei media, il suo manager propone ad Arianna di fingersi la sua fidanzata. La ragazza all'inizio è contraria perché Gelo è l'esempio vivente di tutto ciò che lei non sopporta. Poi, però, a causa dei guai di suo padre, è costretta ad acconsentire alla messinscena. E se col passare del tempo la finzione diventasse vero amore?

Silvio Berlusconi è la persona che più di ogni altra ha segnato la vita pubblica italiana degli ultimi decenni. Su di lui ognuno di noi si è costruito una sua idea, raffinata in anni di indulgenza o idiosincrasia, e discuterla è spesso inutile. Meglio allora rivolgersi ai posteri, sostiene Beppe Severgnini, a coloro che un giorno si chiederanno: come mai gli italiani hanno appoggiato e/o sopportato Berlusconi per tanto tempo? In questa versione aggiornata della Pancia degli italiani, arricchita di una nuova prefazione, l'autore ci mostra i segreti, la forza e le debolezze di un uomo. E ci spiega perché capire Berlusconi è indispensabile per capire anche ciò che sta accadendo in questi anni nella politica nazionale e internazionale. "L'evoluzione del populismo" scrive Severgnini "è iniziata con Silvio Berlusconi. Fraintenderlo, sottovalutarlo, ignorarlo? Si può fare. A nostro rischio e pericolo." Un racconto che ci spinge a riflettere sulle nostre scelte e sul cammino che stiamo tracciando per i nostri figli.
