Secret Florence
Visit a church in a prison, learn how Florence became the centre of hermetism during the Renaissance and where you can still find traces of it today, escape from the crowds of tourists to visit little-known artistic masterpieces, head off to hunt for the 34 plaques displaying quotes from the “Divine Comedy”, fill up your tank at a vintage service station, have your children count the number of bees sculpted on the monument to the glory of Ferdinand I, look for the last wine distributors of the Renaissance, notice the minuscule windows designed to let children look out quietly onto the street, visit superb private gardens that even the Florentines don’t know about, learn how the purple colour of the Fiorentina football team is connected to the pee of a Florentine crusader in Palestine . . .

An essential guide for those who think they know Florence well or for those looking to discover the hidden side of the city.
Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors for mm-Wave Systems: Technology, Modeling and Circuit Applications
The semiconductor industry is a fundamental building block of the new economy, there is no area of modern life untouched by the progress of nanoelectronics. The electronic chip is becoming an ever-increasing portion of system solutions, starting initially from less than 5% in the 1970 microcomputer era, to more than 60% of the final cost of a mobile telephone, 50% of the price of a personal computer (representing nearly 100% of the functionalities) and 30% of the price of a monitor in the early 2000's. Interest in utilizing the (sub-)mm-wave frequency spectrum for commercial and research applications has also been steadily increasing. Such applications, which constitute a diverse but sizeabl...
Shoah, Ruanda. Due lezioni parallele
“Memoria”, “unicità”, “mai più”: moniti che dopo la Shoah vengono messi in discussione dal Ruanda del 1994, un genocidio dei nostri tempi, il primo della società globale. Il massacro di oltre 800.000 tutsi e hutu moderati non è mai stato un “conflitto tribale”, come all’epoca qualcuno provò a definirlo, ma un genocidio che ripercorre molte delle modalità dello sterminio nazista degli ebrei, di cui è un “figlio maggiore”. Dal cuore dell’Europa al cuore dell’Africa, la meccanica dei due genocidi si può confrontare in un percorso in venti “stazioni”, con somiglianze stridenti e alcune differenze, comprese le responsabilità di una parte dell’Occidente che in Ruanda, cinquant’anni dopo la Shoah, si ritrova meno sicuro dei suoi antidoti politici e culturali che considerava acquisiti. Le Due lezioni parallele sono un percorso a specchio ricco di riscontri inaspettati e inquietanti, che rende ancora più attuale la terribile lezione della Shoah e svela menzognee ipocrisie del nostro tempo.

Disfrute de un momento de recogimiento en la iglesia de una prisión, descubra cómo Florencia se convirtió en la capital del hermetismo en el Renacimiento, escape del turismo en masa y visite desconocidas obras maestras artísticas, recorra magníficos jardines privados que los propios florentinos no conocen, maravíllese ante un fenómeno astronómico excepcional, descubra cómo Florencia se convirtió en el centro del hermetismo en el Renacimiento y el simbolismo esotérico en los jardines de Boboli, juegue con sus hijos a contar el número de abejas esculpidas en el monumento en honor a Fernando I, ubique los últimos despachos de vino del Renacimiento, admirar unas de las esculturas más bellas dentro de una iglesia secreta de los templarios ... Lejos de las masas y de los habituales clichés, Florencia aún guarda tesoros recónditos que no desvela más que a sus habitantes y a los viajeros que saben salirse de los caminos trazados. Una guía indispensable para quienes creían conocer bien Florencia o para aquellos que desean descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad.
The European Parliament and Global Health
This book examines the actorness of the European Parliament (EP) and its roles in global health. In doing so, it appreciates to what extent this democratically elected entity can be considered as a global health actor. Applying an original analytical framework to measure actorness, the book assesses the EP’s capacity to act regarding five major global health issues including the pandemic response, access to essential medicines in developing countries, international trade and global health, medical research and development in the field of poverty-related and neglected diseases (PRNDs), and global health governance. It demonstrates that, despite many challenges, the EP has indeed displayed a...
Proceedings of the EU preparatory meeting of the Third world congress for freedom of scientific research – “From the body to the body politic” (2013)
For nearly ten years now Luca Coscioni Association through and together with the World Congress has been fighting for freedom of scientific research. The World Congress is not a place of mere convention and intellectual debate: it is also the seat of political initiative where scientists, researchers, politicians, sick and disabled people and citizens can work together to address complex issues such as patentability, Open Access and clinical trials, as well as the relationship between science and religion or between science and politics. Marco Pannella, leader of the Nonviolent Radical Party, is to thank for providing the idea for this scheme. It was put together in the weeks when we were be...
Ultra-thin Chip Technology and Applications
Ultra-thin chips are the "smart skin" of a conventional silicon chip. This book shows how very thin and flexible chips can be fabricated and used in many new applications in microelectronics, Microsystems, biomedical and other fields. It provides a comprehensive reference to the fabrication technology, post processing, characterization and the applications of ultra-thin chips.
Europe, Discourse, and Institutions
This book focuses on how discourse and various narratives contribute to the construction of the European Union as a political actor, thus seeking to challenge the more established approaches to the study of the Union. It sheds light on the way discourses about the European Union are created, perpetuated and then translated into policy outcomes. Most of the contributions attempt to account for the differences that usually arise between discourse and policy practices. The methods employed range from more traditional variants of discourse analysis to other more radical versions that emphasize power, or to critical or differential reading of policy narratives and ethnography. Policy areas such a...
