Speaking of Forms of Life

The Language of Conservation

By: Claudio Campagna,Daniel Guevara

Humans pose an unprecedented threat to life in all its great diversity of forms. The human-induced extinction rate has been compared to “mass extinctions” of the past. But this language masks the fact that the crisis is due to voluntary, and thus, avoidable choices and actions. “Speaking of Forms of Life” shows that at the root of this crisis is the tragic inadequacy of the language predominantly used to represent and address what we are doing, including the language of “sustainable development,” “rights” for animals and the rest of nature, their “intrinsic value,” and conservation of species as “populations.” This talk alienates us from the other living things, from what they actually are, have and do, and it perpetuates the harm and loss. Campagna and Guevara compellingly argue, on rigorous but accessible grounds, that there is an alternative language to guide conservation, in confronting the radically urgent, ethical issues it faces. This is a language with which we are all familiar, mastered by naturalists, from Aristotle to Audubon. It articulates the primary value in life and the standard that must guide how human beings should live, as one form of life, among countless others. This book is a homecoming for those who practice conservation to, above all else, secure a creature’s ability to satisfy the necessities of its form of life.

A Civil War

A History Of The Italian Resistance

By: Claudio Pavone

A Civil War is a history of the wartime Italian Resistance, recounted by a historian who took part in the struggle against Mussolini’s Fascist Republic. Since its publication in Italy, Claudio Pavone’s masterwork has become indispensable to anyone seeking to understand this period and its continuing importance for the nation’s identity. Pavone casts a sober eye on his protagonists’ ethical and ideological motivations. He uncovers a multilayered conflict, in which class antagonisms, patriotism and political ideals all played a part. A clear understanding of this complexity allows him to explain many details of the post-war transition, as well as the legacy of the Resistance for modern Italy. In addition to being a monumental work of scholarship, A Civil War is a folk history, capturing events, personalities and attitudes that were on the verge of slipping entirely out of recollection to the detriment of Italy’s understanding of itself and its past.

Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions - 2 Volume Set

Possibilities of Numerical and Experimental Techniques - Proceedings of the IVth Int. Seminar on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions, 10-13 November 2004, Padova, Italy

By: Claudio Modena,P.B. Lourenço,P. Roca

Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions contains about 160 papers that were presented at the IV International Seminar on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions that was held from 10 to 13 November, 2004 in Padova Italy. Following publications of previous seminars that were organized in Barcelona, Spain (1995 and 1998) and Guimarães, Portugal (2001), state-of-the-art information is presented in these two volumes on the preservation, protection, and restoration of historical constructions, both comprising monumental structures and complete city centers. These two proceedings volumes are devoted to the possibilities of numerical and experimental techniques in the maintenance of historical structures. In this respect, the papers, originating from over 30 countries, are subdivided in the following areas: Historical aspects and general methodology, Materials and laboratory testing, Non-destructive testing and inspection techniques, Dynamic behavior and structural monitoring, Analytical and numerical approaches, Consolidation and strengthening techniques, Historical timber and metal structures, Seismic analysis and vulnerability assessment, Seismic strengthening and innovative systems, Case studies. Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions is a valuable source of information for scientists and practitioners working on structure-related issues of historical constructions

Sustainable Cities

Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of Green, “Cy-phy” Cities

By: Claudio Scardovi

Global cities are facing an almost unprecedented challenge of change. As they re-emerge from the Covid 19 pandemic and get ready to face climate change and other, potentially existential threats, they need to look for new ways to support wealth and wellbeing creation – leveraging Big Data and AI and suing them into their physical reality and to become greener, more inclusive and resilient, hence sustainable. This book describes how new digital technologies could be used to design digital and physical twins of cities that are able to feed into each other to optimize their working and ability to create new wealth and wellbeing. The book also describes how to increase cities’ social and economic resilience during crisis time and addressing their almost fatal weaknesses – as it became all too obvious during the recent COVID 19 crisis. Also, the book presents a framework for a critical discussion of the concept of “smart-city”, suggesting its development into a “cyber” and “meta” one – meaning, not only digital systems can allow physical ones (e.g. cities, citizens, households and companies) to become “smarter”, but also the vice versa is true, as off line data and real life behaviours can support the optimization and development of virtual brains as a sum of big data and artificial intelligence apps all sitting “over the cloud”. An analysis of the fundamental dynamics of this emerging “info-telligence” economy, and of the potential role of big digital players like Amazon, Google and Facebook is then paving the way to discuss a few strategic forays on how traditional sectors such as financial services, real estate, TMT or health could also evolve, leveraging Big Data and AI in a cyber-physical integrated setting. Finally, a number of thought provoking use cases that could be designed around individuals, and to improve the success and the resilience of households and companies living and working in urban areas are discussed, as an example of one of the most exciting future markets to come: the one of global, sustainable cities

This is the first published collection of Claudio Monteverdi's Madrigal and Song texts in parallel Italian and English versions.

"For enthusiasts and scholars of the music and its period all over the world, finding out what the poems Monteverdi set to music really mean will be of outstanding interest and importance. The keys Denis Stevens uses in his translations come from a lifetime's work devoted to Monteverdi and his contemporaries whose music he has explored as conductor of the Accademia Monteverdiana in concerts, broadcasts and recordings."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Italo Balbo

A Fascist Life

By: Claudio G. Segre

Pioneering aviator, blackshirt leader, colonial governor, confidante and heir-apparent to Benito Mussolini, the dashing and charismatic Italo Balbo exemplified the ideals of Fascist Italy during the 1920s and 30s. He earned national notoriety after World War I as a ruthless squadrista whose blackshirt forces crushed socialist and trade union organizations. As Minister of Aviation from 1926 to 1933, he led two internationally heralded mass trans-Atlantic flights. When his aerial armada reached the U. S., Chicago honored him with a Balbo Avenue, New York staged a ticker-tape parade, and President Roosevelt invited him to lunch. As colonial governor from 1933 to 1940, Balbo transformed Libya from backward colony to model Italian province. To many, Italo Balbo seemed to embody a noble vision of Fascism and the New Italy. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988. Pioneering aviator, blackshirt leader, colonial governor, confidante and heir-apparent to Benito Mussolini, the dashing and charismatic Italo Balbo exemplified the ideals of Fascist Italy during the 1920s and 30s.

Antologicamente Claudio

By: Claudio Raspollini

Una riflessione su me stesso destinata soprattutto ai miei nipoti a loro che non mi hanno conosciuto quando ero pieno di speranze e illusioni che riguardavano la vita. Alcune speranze e illusioni, sono tutt'ora presenti dentro di me, non le ho dimenticate e neppure abbandonate. Inoltre penso sia importante per loro avere una idea di chi era e di chi è il loro nonno. Tutto questo potrebbe essere ininfluente per chi estraneo alla famiglia, si accinge a leggermi per la prima volta, ma non è così; in realtà conoscere un poeta è sempre bello, non tanto perché scrive delle cose "meravilgiose"; quanto perché ci svela il suo animo, ci lascia penetrare senza difese nel suo mondo, nel suo essere più profondo, apre una finestra sull'anima e c'invita a guardare.

Menù letterario tipico romano

Recipes and Love from our Roman Kitchen

By: Claudio Gargioli

Prendete un cuoco insignito di "Tre gamberi" dalla guida Gambero Rosso 2014, Claudio Gargioli, un padre un po' geniale che ha avviato l'attività e un fratello tuttofare. Mescolateli con una figlia desiderosa di apprendere l'arte della cucina, un locale delizioso (Armando al Pantheon) indicato tra i migliori dieci ristoranti della capitale dall'inglese The Guardian, a pochi metri da una delle più belle piazze di Roma, un menù che varia dalla tipicità della cucina romana, cosiddetta del quinto quarto (trippa, coda alla vaccinara e altro), a delle vere e proprie chicche quali l'anatra alle prugne e la faraona ai funghi porcini e birra nera, estrapolate da una cucina "apiciana" di oltre duemila anni fa. Farcite con storie che raccontano di cibo, narrazioni familiari, personaggi famosi e curiosità. Cuocete a fuoco vivo. Il risultato è un'essenza squisita e autentica: una storia delicata - insieme gioiosa, commovente e ironica - che tocca il cuore e il palato e non se ne va più via. Recipes and love from Roman kitchen (also in English).
