Muslims, Minorities, and the Media
Inspired by overtly negative coverage by the Western mainstream press of Muslims in particular, and minorities in general, this book asks: Why are negative narratives and depictions of Muslims and other minorities so hard to change? News reports about Islam and Muslims commonly relate stories that discuss terrorism, violence or other unwelcome or irrational behaviour, or the lack of integration and compatibility of Muslims and Islam with Western values and society. Yet there is little research done on how studies on media reports about minorities seemingly fail to improve the situation. Combining empirical research with a structural analysis of the media industry, this volume presents evidence for the maligned representation of minorities by media corporations, analysing why negative narratives persist and outlining how these can be effectively transformed. It is an outstanding resource for students and scholars of media, religion, culture, sociology, and Islamic studies, and is also of benefit for journalists, media representatives, and activists looking to effect change for minority representation in the media industry specifically or in society at large.

Anni di rivolta
Nel luglio del 1970 viene affisso sui muri di Roma e Milano il “Manifesto di Rivolta femminile” che convenzionalmente segna la nascita del movimento femminista italiano. A oltre cinquant’anni da allora, nuove forme di attivismo a livello globale stanno contribuendo a ridefinire genealogie, alleanze e pratiche politiche, e a interrogare con quesiti nuovi la storia dei femminismi. Le ricerche presentate nel volume – basate sul caso italiano – ricostruiscono percorsi ed eventi di un lungo ventennio femminista, gli anni Settanta e Ottanta, mettendo al centro esperienze finora considerate liminali o periferiche. L’analisi e l’incrocio di fonti eterogenee compone un originale sguardo d’insieme che, raccogliendo l’eredità dei precedenti studi, apre nuove piste di ricerca e offre al tempo stesso spunti preziosi per comprendere il presente.

Himalaya: Dynamics of a Giant, Current Activity of the Himalayan Range
The Himalaya is well known as the largest and highest mountain belt on Earth. Advances in geoscience over the past few decades have revealed a complex picture of the dynamics of this giant, opening up questions about the initial stages of Himalayan building, lateral variations in its structures, variations in tectonic forcing, tectonic-climate coupling and assessments of the natural hazards affecting this area. In this three-volume book, we present the current knowledge on the building and present-day behavior of the Himalayan range. The objective is not to be exhaustive, but to provide some key elements used by researchers to unravel the many processes acting in the Himalayan dynamics. Mountain environments are at the forefront of climate change with glacier retreat, landslides, flash floods and water availability. Understanding the delicate balance that controls the dynamics of the Himalayan giant is now, more than ever, a major challenge for the scientific community.
