Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean now publish financial stability reports. This study reviews their latest issues to assess their content, quality, and transparency. While some reports provide a strong analysis of risks and vulnerabilities, there are significant cross-country differences, and many reports could be improved by adopting a more comprehensive, forward-looking, and thematic assessment of financial stability. A well thought out communication strategy, including a regular and predictable publication schedule and an easily accessible website, is also important to enhance the impact of the reports. Data gaps, particularly at the disaggregated level, are material and need to be urgently addressed.
This book reviews the state of the art of natural disasters like floods and landslides, highlighting the possibility of safe and correct land planning and management by means of a global approach to territory. In fact, the events deriving from slope dynamics (gravitational phenomena) and fluvial dynamics (floods) are commonly triggered by the same factor (heavy rainfall), occur at the same time and are closely related. For this reason, this book analyses floods and slope stability phenomena as different aspects of the same dynamic system: the drainage basin.

All began with the random discovery in the attic of the house, of an old cardboard suitcase, which spurred the author to tell, through a journey in time and memory, the story of a peasant community, from Pietracupa , a small town of Molise, where his father was born and from where, at age 14, he left for Rome in search of fortune, bringing with him only that cardboard suitcase. The author, in his stories, examines the early twenty centuries peasant world, its characters, its values, its poverty; tells of mass emigration which began in late 19th century, the reasons for the depopulation of Italian villages and he himself is actor and spectator of the events of the last 75 years of world history, describing facts, events and tragedies involving the world , analyzing them with the eyes of the child first, with the look of the adult then, and now with that of an old man ; the stories unfold like an historical film, about how we were and how we are.The author ends his travel,returning in the lonely and desert village of his childhood and this will be an opportunity to regain his childhood memories and to reflect on the values of life.

"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.
