Posterior fossa meningiomas 70 years later

By: Fabio CALBUCCI ,Marco Maria FONTANELLA,Edoardo AGOSTI

This book aims to elucidate the current state of surgery for meningiomas of the posterior cranial fossa, seven decades after Professors Castellano and Ruggiero authored their book in 1953. The diagnosis and surgical treatment of these lesions posed an extraordinary challenge 70 years ago. In the words and descriptions of the 71 cases operated on by Olivecrona, each of us can still sense the emotion of someone venturing into unexplored terrain, striving to pave the way for those who would follow. Since 1953, thousands of meningiomas of the posterior cranial fossa have undergone surgery in Europe and around the world. This implies that many have traversed the path forged by Olivecrona in Europe and Cushing in the USA. While the road is now well-defined, our task today is to make this journey increasingly accessible. We must lay more stones on this path, illuminate it with lights, ensuring that no one loses their way. We cannot predict what the little path marked by Olivecrona and Erik Lindgren will become in another 70 years, but we hope for it to transform into a grand thoroughfare. A route that all neurosurgeons can navigate without losing their way, leading effortlessly and joyously to the singular goal we have always pursued: the health of our patients.

Luzzara 1702

By: Fabio Fiorentin

The bloody battle fought on 15 August 1702 on the banks of the Po marked the beginning of a bloody struggle that lasted until 1706, which did not spare the cities and saw the active participation of the populations involved. The author turns his attention to the events leading up to the battle and the composition of the armies involved, with particular attention to that of the state of Milan, partly composed of officers and soldiers from the peninsula. The reconstruction of the situation on the field is very meticulous, carried out through the use of sources that are also difficult to find. It is worth noting the accurate study of the state of the places at the time of the battle, which today is no longer comparable to that of 1702, due to the alterations that the course of the Po has undergone over time and the human activity and settlements that have taken place: without it, it would not be easy to understand the movements of the troops in the area and the course of the battle itself. In this book, Fabio Fiorentin has been able to capture the different aspects of one of the most significant moments of the War of Spanish Succession in Italy, culminating in the famous siege of Turin in 1706 and ending with the defeat of the Franco-Spanish armies forced to abandon the peninsula. In it, instead of the Spanish, a strong imperial (or rather Austrian) dominance was established, which between various vicissitudes and the Napoleonic parenthesis, characterised Italian history for the next 150 years. Fiorentin also extends his research to the events that occurred after the battle and their consequences on the course of the war, which leaves us looking forward to his further studies on this period.

Leopardi's Nymphs

Grace, Melancholy, and the Uncanny

By: Fabio A. Camilletti

How can one make poetry in a disenchanted age? For Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) this was the modern subject's most insolvable deadlock, after the Enlightenment's pitiless unveiling of truth. Still, in the poems written in 1828-29 between Pisa and the Marches, Leopardi manages to turn disillusion into a powerful source of inspiration, through an unprecedented balance between poetic lightness and philosophical density. The addressees of these cantos are two prematurely dead maidens bearing names of nymphs, and thus obliquely metamorphosed into the charmingly disquieting deities that in Greek lore brought knowledge and poetic speech through possession. The nymph, Camilletti argues, can be seen as the inspirational power allowing the utterance of a new kind of poetry, bridging antiquity and modernity, illusion and disenchantment, life and death. By reading Leopardi's poems in the light of Freudian psychoanalysis and of Aby Warburg's and Walter Benjamin's thought, Camilletti gives a groundbreaking interpretation of the way Leopardi negotiates the original fracture between poetry and philosophy that characterises Western culture. Fabio Camilletti is Assistant Professor in Italian at the University of Warwick.

Benedetto Croce and Italian Fascism

By: Fabio Fernando Rizi,Rizi

Benedetto Croce and Italian Fascism provides a unique analysis of the political life of the major Italian philosopher and literary figure Benedetto Croce (1866-1932). Drawing on a variety of resources rarely used before in Croce studies - including police documents, archival materials, and the private edition of Croce's diaries, the Taccuini, published in recent years - Fabio Rizi sheds new light on Croce and his influence throughout the Fascist era." "Tracing important events and influences in Croce's life, this biography clarifies misconceptions about his political contributions and his role in the resistance movement. Well-documented and insightful, Benedetto Croce and Italian Fascism offers a valuable contribution to Croce studies." --Book Jacket.

Historical Epistemology and European Philosophy of Science

Rethinking Critical Rationalism and Transcendentalism

By: Fabio Minazzi

This book offers a comprehensive analysis on the evolution of philosophy of science, with a special emphasis on the European tradition of the twentieth century. At first, it shows how the epistemological problem of the objectivity of knowledge and axiomatic knowledge have been previously tackled by transcendentalism, critical rationalism and hermeneutics. In turn, it analyses the axiological dimension of scientific research, moving from traditional model of science and of scientific methods, to the construction of a new image of knowledge that leverages the philosophical tradition of the Milan School. Using this historical-epistemological approach, the author rethinks the Kantian Transcendental, showing how it could be better integrated in the current philosophy of science, to answer important questions such as the relationship between science and history, scientific and social perspectives and philosophy and technology, among others. Not only this book provides a comprehensive study of the evolution of European Philosophy of Science in the twentieth century, yet it offers a new, historical and epistemological-based approach, that could be used to answers many urgent questions of contemporary societies.

Painting in Stone

Architecture and the Poetics of Marble from Antiquity to the Enlightenment

By: Fabio Barry

A sweeping history of premodern architecture told through the material of stone Spanning almost five millennia, Painting in Stone tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Lavishly illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.

Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration Mitigation

By: Fabio Casciati,Georges Magonette,Francesco Marazzi

Researchers have studied many methods of using active and passive control devices for absorbing vibratory energy. Active devices, while providing significant reductions in structural motion, typically require large (and often multiply-redundant) power sources, and thereby raise concerns about stability. Passive devices are fixed and cannot be modified based on information of excitation or structural response. Semiactive devices on the other hand can provide significant vibration reductions comparable to those of active devices but with substantially reduced power requirements and in a stable manner. Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration Mitigation presents the most up-to-date research into semiactive control systems and illustrates case studies showing their implementation and effectiveness in mitigating vibration. The material is presented in a way that people not familiar with control or structural dynamics can easily understand. Connecting structural dynamics with control, this book: Provides a history of semiactive control and a bibliographic review of the most common semiactive control strategies. Presents state-of-the-art semiactive control systems and illustrates several case studies showing their implementation and effectiveness to mitigate vibration. Illustrates applications related to noise attenuation, wind vibration damping and earthquake effects mitigation amongst others. Offers a detailed comparison between collocated and non-collocated systems. Formulates the design concepts and control algorithms in simple and readable language. Includes an appendix that contains critical considerations about semiactive devices and methods of evaluation of the original damping of a structure. Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration Mitigation is a must-have resource for researchers, practitioners and design engineers working in civil, automotive and mechanical engineering. In addition it is undoubtedly the key reference for all postgraduate students studying in the field.

Dark Finance

Illiquidity and Authoritarianism at the Margins of Europe

By: Fabio Mattioli

Dark Finance offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of financial expansion and its political impacts in Eastern Europe. Following workers, managers, and investors in the Macedonian construction sector, Fabio Mattioli shows how financialization can empower authoritarian regimes—not by making money accessible to everyone, but by allowing a small group of oligarchs to monopolize access to international credit and promote a cascade of exploitative domestic debt relations. The landscape of failed deals and unrealizable dreams that is captured in this book portrays finance not as a singular, technical process. Instead, Mattioli argues that finance is a set of political and economic relations that entangles citizens, Eurocrats, and workers in tense paradoxes. Mattioli traces the origins of illiquidity in the reorganization of the European project and the postsocialist perversion of socialist financial practices—a dangerous mix that hid the Macedonian regime's weakness behind a façade of urban renewal and, for a decade, made it seem omnipresent and invincible. Dark Finance chronicles how, one bad deal at a time, Macedonia's authoritarian regime rode a wave of financial expansion that deepened its reach into Macedonian society, only to discover that its domination, like all speculative bubbles, was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Only Love Creates

The Spiritual Works of Mercy

By: Fabio Rosini

This collection draws heavily from the core devotional strain in Miller’s poetry, offering what novelist Fenton Johnson described in his review of Iron Wheel as “the vision and experience of that place where dark merges seamlessly into light; the house and home of grace—unasked for and perhaps undeserved, but transformative all the same.” Framed by meditations on the beginnings and possible post-human ends of culture, the new poems reflect on the callings and limits of art in responding to desire, history, mortality, and injustice. Set in the American South, Wales, France, the Czech Republic, and Sudan, the poems address and invoke the divine.
