“Forty-three years ago the Italian parliament passed a law (law 517 of 1977) that would have boasted Italy for the role of leading country in the area of inclusion. With that choice, Italy accepted to open up to diversity, to embrace it, to work with and for it, questioning the pedagogical community on what were the best practices to face this educational and social challenge. A choice that today bears fruit, in a context where diversity is normal (Canevaro, 2007, Ianes, 2006). A choice that we must defend in the name of all children and their right to education. The present book develops within this framework and is characterized by the desire to give voice to another nuance of diversity, often mistakenly considered as “good difference” and as such, not in need of targeted interventions: the Giftedness.”
The tangy, juicy sweetness of oranges has made them a mainstay on our breakfast tables, as snacks, and even as healthy desserts. Indeed, oranges and orange juices are so ubiquitous nowadays that we take them for granted—but their journey to our supermarket shelves is a long and tantalizing story, as Clarissa Hyman reveals in Oranges. Following the orange from its origins in the Mediterranean world to the grocery produce section, Hyman illuminates the wide-ranging cultural resonance and culinary presence of the popular fruit. Charting the arrival of bitter and sweet oranges in the Mediterranean, where they were seen as a gift from the gods, Hyman chronicles their dramatic voyage to the Americas and the impact they had on agriculture, garden design, and architecture along the way. She surveys the many varieties of oranges that now exist and analyzes their status as symbols of great wealth in art, an inspiration for poets and painters, and a source of natural health. Dealing with the practical complexities of orange cultivation, she details the challenges facing modern producers and consumers across the globe. Packed with delicious recipes and luscious photos, Oranges is a refreshing look at the king of citrus.
