Paseo - Paraguay
In short stories, the author reports on her authentic experiences and everyday life during a stay of several years in Paraguay. The text is rounded off with extensive photographic material. Paraguay is characterised by its magnificent nature, the diversity of tropical trees and plants, a splendour of flowers all year round, the hustle and bustle of the cities, a tropical climate with temperatures of over 40 degrees, poor road conditions, police controls and dogs living in the wild, but also by the friendliest people in South America. Photos show life in Paraguay, Paraguayan architecture and artists, the capital Asuncion, the pilgrimage town of Caacupe, the Marianela monastery, the Yguazu waterfalls with the neighbouring Yguazu bird park and much more.
Sustainability of the Agri-food System: Strategies and Performances
The 2013 annual conference of the Italian Society of Agricultural Economics (SIDEA) has been held in the attractive scenario of the city of Lecce under the organization of three different Universities of the Apulia Region (Università degli Studi di Bari, Università degli Studi di Foggia and Università del Salento). The scientific theme of the 50th SIDEA Conference has been “Sustainability of the agri-food system: Strategies and Performances” (Sostenibilità del Sistema Agroalimentare: strategie e performance). With such a topic, the SIDEA intended to cope with the challenges coming from a growing demand of food in a world where critical natural resources such as water, energy and land are becoming increasingly scarce and climate change is posing credible threats. The agri-food system and the broader bio-based economy are, in fact, human activities where the classic dimensions of sustainability (ecological, economic and social) are gaining a striking weight often showing evidence of frictions. Despite a significant growth in food production over the past century, today one of the most important challenges facing agro-food system is how to feed a growing population.

Dark Soul II
Il cappio si stringe attorno al collo del boss della mafia Stefano Marino. Mentre Silvio Spadaro va all’attacco e colpisce i mafiosi russi che minacciano il potere del boss, all’interno della sua famiglia criminale si sta compiendo un ammutinamento. Il viceboss Augusto Viero sfida l’autorità di Stefano. Presto diventa chiaro che lui non può fidarsi di nessuno, eccetto forse di Silvio. Ma la presenza stessa di Silvio potrebbe distruggere tutto ciò che Stefano ha di caro: la sua posizione nella mafia, il rispetto dei suoi uomini e, ultimo ma non meno importante, il suo matrimonio. L’arrivo del fratello di Silvio, Franco, di ritorno dalla Legione straniera francese, è provvidenziale: un abile cecchino è indubbiamente benvenuto nel mezzo di una guerra brutale, ma per Stefano avere a che fare con due Spadaro potrebbe essere troppo.
