The Ashgate Companion to the History of Textile Workers, 1650–2000
This impressive collection offers the first systematic global and comparative history of textile workers over the course of 350 years. This period covers the major changes in wool and cotton production, and the global picture from pre-industrial times through to the twentieth century. After an introduction, the first part of the book is divided into twenty national studies on textile production over the period 1650-2000. To make them useful tools for international comparisons, each national overview is based on a consistent framework that defines the topics and issues to be treated in each chapter. The countries described have been selected to included the major historic producers of woollen...
The Milan Institute of Physics
This book offers the first comprehensive and authoritative text on the history of physics in Italy’s industrial and financial capital, from the foundation of the University of Milan’s Institute of Physics in 1924 up to the early 1960s, when it moved to its current location. It includes biographies and a historical-scientific analysis of the main research topics investigated by world-renowned physicists such as Aldo Pontremoli, Giovanni Polvani, Giovanni Gentile Jr., Beppo Occhialini, and Piero Caldirola, highlighting their contributions to the development of Italian physics in a national and international context. Further, the book provides a historical perspective on the interplay of physics and politics in Italy during both the Fascist regime and the postwar reconstruction period, which led to the creation of the CISE (Centro Informazioni Studi Esperienze, a research center for applied nuclear physics, funded by private industries) in 1946, and of the Milan division of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in 1951.
Italian Psychology and Jewish Emigration under Fascism
Fascism and the racial laws of 1938 dramatically changed the scientific research and the academic community. Guarnieri focuses on psychology, from its promising origins to the end of the WWII. Psychology was marginalized in Italy both by the neo-idealistic reaction against science, and fascism (unlike Nazism) with long- lasting consequences. Academics and young scholars were persecuted because they were antifascist or Jews and the story of Italian displaced scholars is still an embarrassing one. The book follows scholars who emigrated to the United States, such as psychologist Renata Calabresi, and to Palestine, such as Enzo Bonaventura. Guarnieri traces their journey and the help they received from antifascist and Zionist networks and by international organizations. Some succeeded, some did not, and very few went back.
Das 'andere' Risorgimento
Der Mailänder Carlo Cattaneo (1801-1869) gehört zu den Grossen des italienischen Risorgimento, wurde aber lange nicht als solcher erkannt. Seine letzten Jahrzehnte nach der gescheiterten Revolution von 1848 verbrachte er im Schweizer Exil und spielte im Tessin als graue Eminenz der Führungsschicht und Propagator von Grossprojekten wie der Gotthardbahn eine bedeutende Rolle, während er das 1859/60 von Cavour geeinte Italien vehement ablehnte. Dieses Buch rückt Cattaneos Schweizer Jahre in den Mittelpunkt und möchte den im deutschsprachigen Raum noch weitgehend unbekannten Lombarden auch hier einführen.

Diacronia di un romanzo: Uomini e no di Elio Vittorini (1944-1966)
Il rapporto di Elio Vittorini con il proprio romanzo Uomini e no (Bompiani, 1945) è stato senza dubbio problematico e caratterizzato da continui ripensamenti e revisioni. Questo volume spiega le ragioni della complessa relazione tra autore e testo, a partire dai primi momenti della genesi del romanzo, documentati da carte autografe inedite, conservate nel Fondo Elio Vittorini del Centro Apice dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e qui studiate per la prima volta, insieme ai materiali di lavorazione redazionale della prima edizione. La ricostruzione delle ulteriori trasformazioni del testo è testimoniata poi dalle successive stampe e da altri documenti archivistici inediti che ne spiegano...
