This volume collects some of the papers presented at the 16th IARTEM Conference held in Florence in April 2022. It was a ’difficult conference’, held at a time when the pandemic was still present, and therefore an important opportunity to resume a dialogue that seemed to have been interrupted. The richness of the content, which is the result of the reflections of authors from all over the world, allows us to provide a precise scenario of the research state of art in the field of textbooks and digital resources for teaching.

Caring about others and the future is part of what makes us human, and it can be argued that improving the lives of people with disabilities improves the lives of all human beings. Most of what we do as a society for people with disabilities also improves life for others, and if we consider a person’s entire life, a disability of some kind will affect almost everybody at some point. This book, Assistive Technology: Shaping a Sustainable and Inclusive World, presents the proceedings of AAATE 2023, the 17th International Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, held in Aubervilliers, France, from 30 August to 1 September 2023.

Il termine "famiglie ricomposte" potrebbe risultare equivoco, perché in qualche modo può far pensare a famiglie che tornano a ricomporsi nell'unità originaria. In realtà, è ormai rientrato nel lessico giuridico e psicologico per indicare un diverso fenomeno e cioè: il costituirsi di nuovi nuclei familiari in cui confluiscono spezzoni di originari nuclei familiari in situazioni di potenziale conflittualità. Questo tema è uno dei più indicati per un confronto interdisciplinare, data la complessità del fenomeno e delle relazioni che lo costituiscono. Ma come è possibile creare una cultura che permetta un linguaggio comune alle diverse figure professionali (avvocati, psicologi, psicot...
The Freedom of Words is for anyone interested in understanding the role of body and language in cognition and how humans developed the sophisticated ability to use abstract concepts like 'freedom' and 'thinking'. This volume adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, including philosophy, semiotics, psychology, and neuroscience, to show how language, as a tool, shapes our minds and influences our interaction with the physical and social environment. It develops a theory showing how abstract concepts in their different varieties enhance cognition and profoundly influence our social and affective life. It addresses how children learn such abstract concepts, details how they vary across languages and cultures, and outlines the link between abstractness and the capability to detect inner bodily signals. Overall, the book shows how words – abstract words in particular, because of their indeterminate and open character – grant us freedom.
