The Appian Way

From Its Foundation to the Middle Ages

By: Giuseppina Pisani Sartorio,Francesca Ventre

The Appian Way was the first great artery from Rome to southern Italy and the model for all roads originating in the ancient capital. Conceived by Appius Claudius in 312 B.C., the thoroughfare provided easy access to Capua, the most important junction in southern Italy, and facilitated Roman expansion into the southern peninsula. Paved in black basalt, the road was flanked by level pedestrian footpaths and bordered by tombs, villas, and pleasant rest and refreshment areas along its 365 miles, which could be walked in thirteen to fourteen days. The Ancient Appian Way provides an engaging account of the Appian Way's origins and historical context. The structure of this lavishly illustrated book mirrors the traveler's route south from Rome, making it an ideal guide to the legendary road for all those with an interest in exploring ancient Rome.

Poetry and Prayer

The Power of the Word II

By: Francesca Bugliani Knox,John Took

Interdisciplinary and ecumenical in scope, Poetry and Prayer offers theoretical discussion on the profound connection between poetic inspiration and prayer as well as reflection on the work of individual writers and the traditions within which they stand. An international range of established and new scholars in literary studies and theology offer unique contributions to the neglected study of poetry in relation to prayer. Part I addresses the relationship of prayer and poetry. Parts II and III consider these and related ideas from the point of view of their implementation in a range of different authors and traditions, offering case studies from, for example, the Bible, Dante, Shakespeare and Herbert, as well as twentieth-century poets such as Thomas Merton, Denise Levertov, W.H. Auden and R.S. Thomas.

Sex Work in Colonial Egypt

Sex Work in Colonial Egypt

Women, Modernity and the Global Economy

By: Francesca Biancani

In the early 20th century Cairo was a vibrant and booming global metropolis. The integration of Egypt into the global market had led to rapid urban growth and increased migration. As occupational prospects for women outside the family were limited, sex work became a prominent feature of the new modern city. However, the economic and social changes in Egypt ignited national anxieties about racial degeneration, social disorder and imperial decadence. Francesca Biancani argues here that this was a period of national crisis that became inscribed on the bodies on female sex workers. Based on a wide range of rare primary sources, including documents from court cases, reformist papers, police minutes and letters, Biancani examines the discourses around sex workers and shows how prostitution was understood in colonial Egypt. The book argues that from initially regulating and managing prostitution, local and colonial elites began to depict sex workers as a threat to the physical and moral welfare of the rising Egyptian nation. However, far from being a marginal activity, prostitution is shown to play a central role in the history of Egyptian nation-making. By exploring the interdependence of power and marginality, respectability and transgression, Biancani writes sex work and its practitioners back into the history of modern Egypt. The book is an original contribution to the global history of prostitution and a vital resource for scholars of Middle East Studies.

L’arbitrio del tempo

By: Francesca Sulas

IRDA EDIZIONI Ci sono poesie nate dal cuore, permeate da sentimenti che dondolano dentro un'anima che spesso si sente vagabonda in un mare in cui la rotta può cambiare in ogni istante. Ci sono poesie nate dall'analisi di ciò che ci circonda, che ci avvolge attimo per attimo e in cui si fondono emozione e vita. Ci sono poesie che, poi, sono come semi e si spargono su un foglio perché hanno ruminato lacrime, a volte uccise da un'anima troppo sensibile per regalarle al vento. Questa è la poesia di Francesca Sulas! Un continuo cammino controvento in cui le lacrime si reprimono, si chiudono in una sacca embrionale per poi morire su un foglio, e in quel mondo di inchiostro si schiudono strade, come rose, dove l'amore è un perno o un lungo albero da scalare per vedere il cielo dalla sua cima.

Wireless Power Transfer for E-Mobility

Fundamentals and Design Guidelines for Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles

By: Mauro Feliziani,Tommaso Campi,Silvano Cruciani,Francesca Maradei

Wireless Power Transfer for e-Mobility: Fundamentals and Design Guidelines for Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles provides a comprehensive resource for researchers and engineers engaged in the development of automotive WPT systems. The book opens with an overview of wireless technologies for power transfer and their evolution over time, then focusing on the application of this technology to electric mobility highlighting its importance in terms of impact and perspectives on the development of sustainable transport and autonomous driving. Chapters discuss the fundamentals of electromagnetic field in WPT systems and the circuit modelling. In addition, they examine core current electric vehicle systems and present-day automotive WPT standards. Design techniques of magnetic couplers, including compensation networks are explored in-depth alongside power electronics techniques for automotive WPT systems. Both stationary and dynamic automotive WPT systems are rigorously assessed. Finally, the problems of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic field safety are described with particular attention to shielding techniques for the mitigation of magnetic field emissions. Addressing essential knowledge from foundational to advanced levels, Wireless Power Transfer for e-Mobility provides practical guidance to engineers and researchers developing the future of electric mobility. - Provides an advanced foundation for research and current industrial applications in automotive WPT systems - Develops proven methodologies linked to some case studies using examples drawn from global practice - Explores the role of WPT in near-future mobility scenarios, with featured coverage of electrified transportation - Includes an extensive usage of equations from MATLAB, Spice and COMSOL

Fascist Modernism in Italy

Arts and Regimes

By: Francesca Billiani

Between 1917 to 1975 Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, and Spain shifted from liberal parliamentary democracies to authoritarian and totalitarian dictatorships, seeking total control, mass consensus, and the constitution of a 'new man/woman' as the foundation of a modern collective social identity. As they did so these regimes uniformly adopted what we would call a modernist aesthetic – huge-scale experiments in modernism were funded and supported by fascist and totalitarian dictators. Famous examples include Mussolini's New Rome at EUR, or the Stalinist apartment blocks built in urban Russia. Focusing largely on Mussolini's Italy, Francesca Billiani argues that modernity was intertwined irrecoverably with fascism – that too often modernist buildings, art and writings are seen as a purely cultural output, when in fact the principles of modernist aesthetics constitute and are constituted by the principles of fascism. The obsession with the creation of the 'new man' in art and in reality shows this synergy at work. This book is a key contribution to the field of twentieth century history – particularly in the study of fascism, while also appealing to students of art history and philosophy.
