Invisible Reconstruction
What does it really mean to reconstruct a city after a natural, biological or man-made disaster? Is the repair and reinstatement of buildings and infrastructure sufficient without the mending of social fabric? The authors of this volume believe that the true measure of success should be societal. After all, a city without people is no city at all. Invisible Reconstruction takes the view that effective disaster mitigation and recovery require interdisciplinary tactics. Historian Lucia Patrizio Gunning and urbanist Paola Rizzi expand beyond the confines of individual disciplines or disaster studies to bring together academics and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, comparing stra...

2005
Annually published since 1930, the International Bibliography of Historical Sciences (IBOHS) is an international bibliography of the most important historical monographs and periodical articles published throughout the world, which deal with history from the earliest to the most recent times. The IBOHS is thus currently the only continuous bibliography of its kind covering such a broad period of time, spectrum of subjects and geographical range. The works are arranged systematically according to period, region or historical discipline, and alphabetically according to authors names or, in the case of anonymous works, by the characteristic main title word. The bibliography contains a geographical index and indexes of persons and authors.
Made in Italy
Goods made or designed in Italy enjoy a profile which far outstrips the country's modest manufacturing output. Italy's glorious design heritage and reputation for style and innovation has 'added value' to products made in Italy. Since 1945, Italian design has commanded an increasing amount of attention from design journalists, critics and consumers. But is Italian design a victim of its own celebrity? Made in Italy brings together leading design historians to explore this question, discussing both the history and significance of design from Italy and its international influence. Addressing a wide range of Italian design fields, including car design, graphic design, industrial and interior design and ceramics, well-known designers such as Alberto Rosselli and Ettore Sottsass, Jr. and iconic brands such as Olivetti, Vespa and Alessi, the book explores the historical, cultural and social influences that shaped Italian design, and how these iconic designs have contributed to the modern canon of Italian-inspired goods.

Memória, história e historiografia
Este livro tem por objetivo analisar e equacionar, criticamente, perguntas decisivas sobre a leitura do passado e sua preservação por historiadores. Para tanto, o autor da obra recorre ao detalhamento da ambiguidade entre recordação e esquecimento, abordando a memória, a construção do passado, a narrativa, a escrita da história e as responsabilidades do historiador diante destas e outras problemáticas.
Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care
Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care examines the ways in which humans and their bodies become enmeshed in various systems of care. Seven case studies demonstrate the ways in which people lose, negotiate, establish, or impose bodily autonomy in diverse contexts. Diverse methods and perspectives from cultural and medical anthropology, bioarchaeology and public health establish the need for advocacy and policy change to improve health outcomes by re-envisioning systems of care as spaces that include room for individual agency and bodily autonomy. This volume explores diverse subjects to promote advocacy for patient-centered care and bodily autonomy, and for liberation from over-medicalization.
Ensino de história: usos do passado, memória e mídia
O objetivo deste livro é promover um diálogo produtivo entre discussões da historiografia e do ensino de história, elaborando de forma reflexiva as fronteiras entre campos de pesquisa e reafirmando as relações constitutivas entre o mundo acadêmico e o escolar no ensino de história. O livro propõe, ainda, a afirmação dessa interlocução com a reunião de textos de pesquisadores de campos diversos, que pensam usos sociais do passado na história pública, aquela que se produz no espaço social mais amplo que o da academia, voltada para o público em geral ou segmentos desse público, como o escolar. [...] Esperamos que o livro propicie momentos de reflexão e, sobretudo, contribua para a transformação de nossas práticas, no âmbito acadêmico e escolar. Por entender que a própria concepção de ensino deve ser constantemente questionada e repensada, ressaltamos que não existe um único caminho a seguir, mas muitas alternativas a serem consideradas nas possíveis relações entre o passado e o presente.
