Words and visions around/about Chinese transnational mobilities 流动
This collection gathers the contributions of ten scholars on the topic of transnational cultural and physical mobility originating in China. These contributions aim to open conversations among Chinese Studies scholars by applying a Mobility Studies perspective. Exploring diverse narratives and forms of representation from people of Chinese heritage, the book is divided into three parts that each look closely at the relationship between movement and cultural production. The first part is dedicated to four types of mobility of people from China to Italy, namely tourist mobility (Miriam Castorina), labor mobility (Valentina Pedone), student mobility (Xu Hao), and mobility of social elites (Andrea Scibetta). The second part is dedicated to examples of reverse mobility from Italy to China (Gao Changxu, Chiara Lepri, Giuseppe Rizzuto). The third part focuses on case studies based on mobilities from China to territories other than Italy (Rebecca Ehrenwirth, Martina Renata Prosperi, Giulia Rampolla).
The Roots of Maxwell’s A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field
The formulation of Maxwell’s equations completely defines the connection between the electric field and the magnetic field, definitively unifying electricity and magnetism and at the same time providing a theoretical synthesis of all the experimental phenomena connected to these areas. In his revolutionary 1864 memoir where J.C. Maxwell presented his equations, he cites a handful of scientists, which were at the basis of his Theory. This book, in its first part, presents an insight on all these latter scientists, reconstructing the scientific network behind Maxwell’s unification and, in the second part, focuses on the Italians in such a network: Ottaviano Fabrizio Mossotti and Riccardo Felici, with a further insight on the connections between Maxwell and Italy and, in particular, Tuscany.
Plants and vegetation of NW Ethiopia
Pichi Sermolli’s work with his more than 2750 collections of plants from nearly 150 localities on the Lake Tana expedition in Ethiopia in 1937 was interrupted by World War II, but completed in 1947 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the British Museum (Natural History), UK. It resulted in preliminary accounts of the vegetation published 1938-40 and a taxonomically arranged account in 1951, all in Italian. Pichi Sermolli’s observations are difficult to locate due to the imperfect maps of the time, but in this book the authors have reconstructed the sequence of the collections, georeferenced the localities, and updated the identifications of the species. By reconstructing Pichi Sermoll...
Latifundium
Marta Petrusewicz's study of this output shows the estate's transformation from a feudal system to a capitalistic one. The author also demonstrates that a market economy in south Italy existed before the unification of the Italian state, and she thereby disproves the "dependency theory" held by some Italian economists.
E-Mails to God
These pages contain the actual e-mails that were sent to God and friends while making life and death decisions surrounding my mother's health. They are my prayers and my agony at being thrown into such enormous responsibility. They are also the God given responses of my e-mail buddies as they attempted to keep me focused on the healer versus the circumstance. I hope they bring you peace and comfort in your journey.
Valori e tecniche nel diritto del lavoro
Con l’ambizione di accomunare in un’unica riflessione, seppure condotta da diverse prospettive di osservazione, due discorsi – quello sui valori e quello sulle tecniche – che spesso tendono a procedere per vie separate, il volume raccoglie i testi rielaborati delle relazioni tenute al Convegno Valori e tecniche nel diritto del lavoro svoltosi a Firenze il 20 e 21 settembre 2019. L’opera è suddivisa in quattro sezioni – I valori del diritto del lavoro, I poteri del datore di lavoro e i loro limiti, I licenziamenti, I contratti non standard e flessibili – e ciò spiega la diversità degli approcci tematici ma anche le utili sovrapposizioni tra i contributi e la ricorsività di alcuni temi, primo fra tutti quello del licenziamento.
