The Approach of Biophysics and Neurosciences : Proceedings of the International School of Biophysics, Casamicciola, Napoli, Italy, 11-16 October 1999

By: Carlo Musio

The light sense is conceivably the key sense in both the animal and the plant kingdom. Vision research, undoubtedly a fast-growing field, is providing impressive results OCo thanks to modern theoretical and methodological advances. The approach of biophysics and neuroscience seems to be of great benefit and, for this reason, the present book gives an outline of recent acquisitions and updated advanced methods concerning this approach. Visual mechanisms and processes are analysed at several (molecular, cellular, integrative, computational and cognitive) levels by different methodologies (from molecular biology to computation) applied to different living models (from protists to humans, via invertebrates and lower vertebrates). Contents: The Optics of Animal Eyes (M F Land); Rhodopsin-Like Proteins: The Universal and Probably Unique Proteins for Vision (P Gualtieri); The Molecular Design of a Visual Cascade: Molecular Stages of Phototransduction in Drosophila (R Paulsen et al.); Molecular Changes During Primary Visual Pathway Development (K L Moya et al.); Color Vision and Retinal Randomness of the Japanese Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly, Papilio Xuthus (K Arikawa et al.); Patch-Clamping Solitary Visual Cells to Understand the Cellular Mechanisms of Invertebrate Phototransduction (C Musio); Phototransduction in Retinal Rods and Cones (Y Koutalos et al.); Formation of OC ONOCO and OC OFFOCO Ganglion Cell Mosaics (L M Chalupa); Endogenous Nitric Oxide Modulates Signal Transmission from Photoreceptors to On-Center Bipolar Cells in the Rabbit Retina (B Lei & I Perlman); Now You See It, Now You Don't: Shunting Inhibition in Early Vision (L Borg-Graham et al.); Visual Perceptual Learning (N Berardi & A Fiorentini); Functions of the Primate Temporal Lobe Cortical Visual Areas in Invariant Visual Object and Face Recognition (E T Rolls); Vector Code in Neuronal Networks (E N Sokolov); and other papers. Readership: Scientists and postdoctoral students in neurosciences, biophysics and physiology.

The Fabrication of Leonardo da Vinci’s Trattato della pittura (2 vols.)

With a Scholarly Edition of the Italian editio princeps (1651) and an Annotated English Translation

By: Claire Farago,Janis Bell,Carlo Vecce

The basis for our understanding of Leonardo’s theory of art was, for over 150 years, his Treatise on Painting, which was issued in 1651 in Italian and French. This present volume offers both the first scholarly edition of the Italian editio princeps as well as the first complete English translation of this seminal work. In addition, It provides a comprehensive study of the Italian first edition, documenting how each editorial campaign that lead to it produced a different understanding of the artist’s theory. What emerges is a rich cultural and textual history that foregrounds the transmission of artisanal knowledge from Leonardo’s workshop in the Duchy of Milan to Carlo Borromeo’s Milan, Cosimo I de’ Medici’s Florence, Urban VIII’s Rome, and Louis XIV’s Paris.

The Custodians of the Gift

Fairy Beliefs, Holy Doubts and Heritage Paradoxes on a Fijian Island

By: Guido Carlo Pigliasco

Emerging from more than two decades of research in the field and in the archives, the essays collected here explore the multifaceted topic of the Fijian firewalking ceremony, the vilavilairevo. The collection examines the intersection of the intertwined topics of cultural property, reproduction of tradition, and change with issues of (post)colonial representation, authenticity, and ethnic identity. The essays advance new insights on the tourist gaze and the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and pose serious questions regarding the role of digital and social media as tools for preserving cultural legacies and extending traditional cultural worlds into new domains. Focusing on the response of the Sawau tribe of the island of Beqa to the commodification of the vilavilairevo as their iconic practice, this essay collection ultimately illuminates how the Christian cultural dynamics and unprecedented dogmatic schism surrounding the vilavilairevo spectacle are reshaping local notions of heritage, social sentiment, and social capital.

Art in World History 2 Vols

By: Mary Hollingsworth,Giulio Carlo Argan

This is a collection of two volumes covering the History of Art and its relationship with human development, religion and cultures. Volume One starts from the early civilisations and the origins of art in early artifacts, the kingdoms of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, Eastern Mediterranean and the empire in China. It continues onto the sixteenth century, taking in Classical Greece and Rome; Byzantine Art, the Carolingian Empire, explain to the rise of Islamic African Art and the development of India Art around the religions of Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, as well as Chinese Art of Taoism and Confucianism. Much of art in the medieval age was influenced by the conquests, religion and faith as well as gothic and Italian City State art. The early renaissance of the fifteenth century is heavily steeped in the history of Florence and the Papacy as well as the princes and merchants of northern Europe; compassing Venetian art at the end of the sixteenth century. Volume Two continues until the twentieth century, looking at the themes of power and image in the European courts as well as the Muslim Courts. The strength of the Catholic church influences the Roman and Baroque art developments of the seventeenth century, as well as expeditions to the Americas, Spain and the Netherlands. The frivolity and extravagance dominates eighteenth century art with the arrival of Rococo and a return to neoclassicism, which moved to romanticism in the nineteenth century and the freedom of realism, impressionism, and the new materials of the industrial revolution in the twentieth century. Both volumes contain an index of names and places.

I racconti delle fate

By: Carlo Collodi

Aonia edizioni. Nel 1875 Collodi cominciò a tradurre dal francese le fiabe di Charles Perrault, il maestro di fiabe indimenticabili quali: Cappuccetto Rosso, La Bella addormentata nel bosco, Cenerentola, Barba-blu, Il Gatto con gli stivali, tanto per citarne qualcuna. A queste fiabe Collodi ne aggiunse altre delle maggiori favoleggiatrici francesi del XVII-XVIII secolo: Madame d'Aulnoy e Madame Le Prince de Beaumont. Egli però non si limitò a tradurre: colorì e vivificò il linguaggio un po' ingessato degli originali, aggiungendo elementi di arguzia toscana e di spontaneità popolaresca. Fu il primo lavoro di Lorenzini per i ragazzi, ai quali dedicherà negli anni seguenti la maggior parte delle sue opere. Si trattò di traduzioni commissionate dall'editore Felice Paggi che, con la sua collana "Biblioteca Scolastica", intendeva fornire un adeguato ventaglio di titoli in buona lingua toscana per le scuole della neonata Italia unita.

JACOPO FLAMMER NELLA TERRA DEI SURICATI

By: Carlo Menzinger di Preussenthal

Jacopo Flammer e i suoi amici sono imprigionati in un universo divergente in cui gli uomini vivono come scimmie e le civiltà delle lontre e dei suricati si fanno la guerra. Mentre cercano di aiutare i suricati a liberare il popolo dei castori dalla schiavitù inflitta loro dalle lontre, i tre ragazzini vengono raggiunti e inseguiti dai mostruosi discendenti dei velociraptor, provenienti da un altro tempo ucronico in cui non si sono estinti. Una nuova incredibile avventura attraverso il tempo e l'ucronia aspetta i tre piccoli eroi dopo quella narrata in "Jacopo Flammer e il Popolo delle Amigdale". Il volume è illustrato con 43 immagini realizzate da 13 illustratori: Fabio Balboni, Raffaella Bertolini, Camilla Bianchi, Liliana Capraro, Cinzia Damonte, Guido De Marchi, Giuseppe Di Bernardo, Divaz, Roberta Losito, Alessio Pilia, Antonio Morgia, Niccolò Pizzorno ed Evelyn Storm.

Different Resources, Different Conflicts?

The Subnational Political Economy of Armed Conflict and Crime in Colombia

By: Angelika Rettberg,Carlo Nasi,Ralf Leiteritz,Juan Diego Prieto

This book explores some of the risks associated with sustainable peace in Colombia. The book intentionally steers away from the emphasis on the drug trade as the main resource fueling Colombian conflicts and violence, a topic that has dominated scholarly attention. Instead, it focuses on the links that have been configured over decades of armed conflict between legal resources (such as bananas, coffee, coal, flowers, gold, ferronickel, emeralds, and oil), conflict dynamics, and crime in several regions of Colombia. The book thus contributes to a growing trend in the academic literature focusing on the subnational level of armed conflict behavior. It also illustrates how the social and economic context of these resources can operate as deterrents or as drivers of violence. The book thus provides important lessons for policymakers and scholars alike: Just as resources have been linked to outbreaks and transformations of violence, peacebuilding too needs to take into account their impacts, legacies, and potential.
