Sandra's Diary
«This life is not mine. It is evolving rhythmically through a regular breath that is not mine, cheered by a peaceful day that is not mine. There is nothing in this world that is yours. Sandra, realize it! It is all a gift in which the ‘Giver’ can intervene when and how he wishes. Take care of the gift given to you, make it more beautiful and full for when the time comes.» Sandra's Diary stops here, on 27th of April 1984. Words that seem to presage the tragic accident in which she will be involved two days later. Only after her death is her secret discovered: imprinted on pieces of paper, cards, diaries, school diaries you can find the heart of a girl who wants to lead every thought, every action, her whole being to Christ. An extraordinary spiritual journey that father Oreste Benzi had the intuition to collect and publish, giving life to Sandra's Diary. This edition contains - in addition to Sandra's writings - her story, Stefano Vitali's testimony on the miracle of healing, the prayer to ask for the intercession of the new Blessed.

The Labyrinth Of Families
Two Black Brits who fear that going to America will cost them their lives, inspire former Rogue Agents and the British Government to set up a Protection Service. Sir Albert Collins is England’s greatest Black Shakespearean actor who has been offered the starring role of Othello on Broadway, but he fears that he’ll be killed by cops in America, so he’s reluctant to go. Dominic Harris is a successful Black British sales manager who has to fight to stop his vicious boss from sending him to America where he hopes Dominic will be killed by the cops. Both men rely on the Bankolés, Britain’s most powerful Black family, who have a relationship with Anglo-American Secret Service rogue agents headed by Lord Mowbray, one of the top men in British Intelligence. This results in sexual entrapment, robbery, covert deceptions, public humiliations, and death.
Memory and Ethnicity
In recent times, ethnicity and issues of origin have become a hotly debated topic among Jews both in Israel and in the Diaspora. This is particularly true both of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, who for years had remained at the margins of the Israeli national narrative, as well as the Israeli Palestinian minority. Much the same may be said of Diaspora Jews. Among the public spaces where ethnicity has become more visible are museums, together with heritage centres, art galleries, and the Internet. The aim of Memory and Ethnicity is to investigate how ethnicity is represented and narrated in such spaces. How have groups of Jews from such different backgrounds as Morocco, Egypt, In...

Paper Heritage in Italy, France, Spain and Beyond (16th to 19th Centuries)
This book takes a long-term approach, spanning from the end of the 16th to the 19th century, to explore how men and women in Italy, France, and Spain collected, displayed, and passed down various types of papers. The contributors share a core interest in the relationship between social actors and their paper heritage. The collectors, who come from diverse cultural, social, and gender backgrounds, provide insights into the reasons and processes behind the accumulation, valorisation, and transmission of their paper heritage. Unlike most studies on collecting, this book shifts the focus away from collections and institutions to the owners of the collected objects and their desires for their acc...

The management of heritage collections requires a unique mix of knowledge and skills, including expertise in preservation and conservation; heritage policies; acquisitions and collection management; bibliographic description; the materiality of books and other collection objects; and the history of libraries.
