Oxford
Oxford, uno dei centri del sapere più antichi del mondo. Una città della campagna inglese, poco distante da Londra. Qui collegi antichissimi custodiscono costumi studenteschi, biblioteche silenziose, e aneddoti misteriosi. L'autore, che qui ha studiato, descrive la città, che non è solo universitaria, con la sua storia, i suoi usi, e le sue tradizioni, dove la convivenza tra studenti e "locals" non è stata sempre facile e serena. In questo viaggio fra i cortili all'inglese dei College, i punt che navigano sul fiume, gli angoli multietnici di Cowley Road, e tanto altro, Oxford sembra essere avvolta nella magia. Una magia di secoli di storia.

Landscape as Heritage
This edited book provides a broad collection of current critical reflections on heritage-making processes involving landscapes, positioning itself at the intersection of landscape and heritage studies. Featuring an international range of contributions from researchers, academics, activists, and professionals, the book aims to bridge the gap between research and practice and to nourish an interdisciplinary debate spanning the fields of geography, anthropology, landscape and heritage studies, planning, conservation, and ecology. It provokes critical enquiry about the challenges between heritage-making processes and global issues, such as sustainability, economic inequalities, social cohesion, and conflict, involving voices and perspectives from different regions of the world. Case studies in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Turkey, the UK, Columbia, Brazil, New Zealand, and Afghanistan highlight different approaches, values, and models of governance. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers, academics, practitioners, and every landscape citizen interested in heritage studies, cultural landscapes, conservation, geography, and planning.
Virginio Gayda, the Yugoslav Question and the Italian Irredenta
This is a study of the early writings of Virginio Gayda (1885-1944), a talented but amoral Italian journalist whose career spanned two world wars. A keen observer, prolific writer and propagandist during his stint as the newspaper La Stampa’s special correspondent in Habsburg Vienna, Gayda lent his considerable skills to promote an aggressive foreign policy. No one did more than he to poison relations between the Italian and Yugoslav peoples. His is the story of a respected journalist who chose an ultranationalist path to fascism and international fame. Not uninfluenced by rank careerism and material reward he forsook his roots to embrace the antisemitic “race” laws of 1938 and Italy’s disastrous partnership with Nazi Germany.
First Lady
Dalla signora Washington fino alla appena eletta Jill Biden, passando per donne molto influenti quali Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Michelle Obama e Hillary Rodham Clinton. In questo libro — come sempre informatissimo e ricco di aneddoti molti dei quali scosciuti — Dario Salvatori racconta il lato meno noto del potere statunitense e come le figure femminili, spesso dietro le quinte, in alcuni casi invece come vere e proprie co-protagoniste della scena politica, hanno collaborato a decidere i destini dell'America e del mondo. Dario Salvatori, giornalista, scrittore, conduttore radio-tv. Nel cast di molti programmi di Renzo Arbore ("L'Altra Domenica", 1976; "Quelli della notte", 1985; "Meno siamo, meglio stiamo", 2005).

Vimanas and the wars of the gods
An astonishing book that will lead to rewrite the history of mankind. An unexplored world, a journey beyond the boundaries of human history. From over five thousand years India and Pakistan seem to guard jealously a forgotten past, a secret locked inside of the oldest traditions that human history knows. The journey starts from an highly evolved civilization but fall into oblivion, a culture that left to posterity a huge amount of texts transmitted orally and later merged into Hinduism. Traditions that speak of lost civilizations, wars fought between men and gods with highly advanced technologies and machines capable of flying in the air and in space called Vimana. Following the tracks and studies conducted in the ’70s by David William Davenport, has set new light on the events that led to the destruction of the city of Mohenjo Daro (Pakistan) and the disappearance of the Harappan civilization tying their story to submerged ruins discovered in the Indian Ocean and dated back to 10,000 years ago.
Do, undo, do over
Ermanna Montanari: a minute body that grows enormous on stage and a magnetic visage capable of expressing unlimited intensities; a voice that creates stage figures and becomes a musical instrument; an original language that encompasses every type of performance; microscopic precision and the magma of an infancy still vital in the language of dreams and the enigma of her native dialect. Laura Mariani, subtle analyst of theater and memory, portrays Ermanna in the weaving of art and life and in relation to Marco Martinelli, director and playwright and other pole in a complex alchemy. Mariani interrogates the figure of Ermanna through written and visual sources, unpublished notebooks and traces of the process of creation. A narrative journey—biography, portrait of the artist, chronicle of becoming—to examine in detail the raw material of an actress and of theater as it unfolds.
Crossing the Stream, Leaving the Cave
Crossing the Stream, Leaving the Cave brings philosophers from two of the world's great philosophical traditions--Platonic and Indian Buddhist--into joint inquiry on topics in metaphysics, epistemology, mind, language, and ethics. An international team of scholars address selected questions of mutual concern to Buddhist and Platonist: How can knowledge of reality transform us? Will such transformation leave us speechless, or disinterested in the world around us? What is cause? What is self-knowledge? And how can dreams shed light on waking cognition? What do the paradoxes thrown up by abstract thought about fundamental notions such as being and unity reveal? Is it possible to attain unity in...
