Mavericks of Italian Cinema
The history of Italian cinema includes, in addition to the renowned auteurs, a number of peculiar and lesser-known filmmakers. While their artistry was often plagued with production setbacks, their works—influenced by poetry, playwriting, advertising, literature, comics and a nonconformist, sometimes antagonistic attitude—were original and thought provoking. Drawing from official papers and original scripts, this book includes much previously unpublished information on the works and lives of post–World War II filmmakers Pier Carpi, Alberto Cavallone, Riccardo Ghione, Giulio Questi, Brunello Rondi, Paolo Spinola, Augusto Tretti and Nello Vegezzi.

A Physicist's Journey between Science and Faith
Science and religion are very often presented as two opposing universes. The former is seen to be the privileged place of disinterested research, the chosen ground for free thought, while the second is often characterized by immutable principles and indisputable dogmas, to which we are called to adhere with blind and absolute trust. Analysis of both “fields” shows, however, that the reality is different: religion also contemplates research and discussion, while even science knows dogmas and prejudices. This is because it is typical of the human being, of any person, to question oneself, to doubt and also some times to close oneself in tetragonal certainties. This volume explores some of the most important themes for anyone seriously wishing to commit themselves along the path of knowledge and explains why one cannot stop at the plurality of answers on the truth, as well as on life and man (creationism and evolutionism). It argues that science and faith are both expressions of humans’ desire to know; they do not weaken each other nor are they mutually exclusive, but rather invite a close and constructive dialogue, free from ideological temptations.
The Lesson of this Century
One of the century's greatest and most influential thinkers, Karl Popper reminds us that we must recognize our responsibilities in preserving the democratic system we enjoy: it is our actions which will create the world of tomorrow. In these interviews with journalist Giancarlo Bosetti, Karl Popper ranges widely over contemporary political and social issues. He reflects on many topics, from the decline of the Soviet Union and the danger of a Third World War, to our obligations to children and the potentially harmful influence of television. He warns us that the increasing violence and egotism of our society, if unchecked, will imperil our civilisation. The volume also contains two talks on the theory of democracy, arguing that democracy has never been the rule of the people (nor can or should it be), but only the best method we know for preventing tyranny.
Evaluating Counterterrorism Performance
This book offers a new model for measuring the success and impact of counterterrorism strategies, using four comparative historical case studies. The effectiveness of counterterrorism measures is hard to assess, especially since the social impact of terrorist attacks is a fundamental and complex issue. This book focuses on the impact of counterterrorist measures by introducing the concept of the performative power of counterterrorism: the extent to which governments mobilize public and political support - thereby sometimes even unwittingly assisting terrorists in creating social drama. The concept is applied to counterterrorism in the Netherlands, Italy, the Federal Republic of Germany and t...
Unions, Change and Crisis
First published in 1982, Unions, Change and Crisis represents the first detailed, comparative, historical and theoretically grounded study of two of the major trade union movements of Europe. It brings together the results of the first part of the first major study from Harvard University’s Centre for European Studies. The book explores, first individually and then comparatively, the evolution of the French and Italian Union movements through the end of the 1970s. It will be of particular interest for students of trade unions, industrial relations and political economy in France and Italy, but also those interested in the comparative analysis of advanced industrial democracies more generally.
