On the Foundations of Computing

By: Giuseppe Primiero

On The Foundations of Computing is a technical, historical and conceptual investigation in the three main methodological approaches to the computational sciences: mathematical, engineering and experimental. The first part of the volume explores the background behind the formal understanding of computing, originating at the end of the XIX century, and it invesitagtes the formal origins and conceptual development of the notions of computation, algorithm and program. The second part of the volume overviews the construction of physical devices to perform automated tasks and it considers associated technical and conceptual issues. We start from the design and construction of the first generation of computing machines, explore their evolution and progress in engineering (for both hardware and software), and investigate their theoretical and conceptual problems. The third part of the volume analyses the methods and principles of experimental sciences founded on computational methods. We study the use of machines to perform scientific tasks, with particular reference to computer models and simulations. Each part aims at defining a notion of computational validity according to the corresponding methodological approach"--

Information and Knowledge

A Constructive Type-theoretical Approach

By: Giuseppe Primiero

This book develops a philosophical and logical interpretation of the concept of information within the formal structure of Constructive Type Theory (CTT), in a manner concurrent with a diverse range of contemporary perspectives on the philosophy of information. It presents a newly formulated and conceptually developed presentation of the Problem of Analyticity, and a new interesting perspective on the constructive interpretation of knowledge processes.

The Worlds of Petrarch

The Worlds of Petrarch

By: Giuseppe Mazzotta

At the center of Petrarch's vision, announcing a new way of seeing the world, was the individual, a sense of the self that would one day become the center of modernity as well. This self, however, seemed to be fragmented in Petrarch's work, divided among the worlds of philosophy, faith, and love of the classics, politics, art, and religion, of Italy, France, Greece, and Rome. In recent decades scholars have explored each of these worlds in depth. In this work, Giuseppe Mazzotta shows for the first time how all these fragmentary explorations relate to each other, how these separate worlds are part of a common vision. Written in a clear and passionate style, The Worlds of Petrarch takes us into the politics of culture, the poetic imagination, into history and ethics, art and music, rhetoric and theology. With this encyclopedic strategy, Mazzotta is able to demonstrate that the self for Petrarch is not a unified whole but a unity of parts, and, at the same time, that culture emerges not from a consensus but from a conflict of ideas produced by opposition and dark passion. These conflicts, intrinsic to Petrarch's style of thought, lead Mazzotta to a powerful rethinking of the concepts of "fragments" and "unity" and, finally, to a new understanding of the relationship between them. Essential to students of Medieval and Renaissance literature, this book will engage anyone interested in the development of modernity as it has evolved in culture and is understood today.

Don Carlos

By: Giuseppe Verdi

It used to be thought that Verdi miscalculated with this attempt at a "e;grand opera"e; in the French style. This guide demonstrates that Don Carlos was - and remains - an extraordinary achievement in melding two opposing visions of opera: the spectacular public aspect of the French tradition with the dramatic concision of the Italian. And because of the variety of versions which Verdi sanctioned, this debate is open-ended.Contents: A Grand Opera with a Difference, Julian Budden; Off the Beaten Track, Gilles de Van; "e;A Family Portrait in a Royal Household"e;: 'Don Carlos' from Schiller to Verdi, F.J. Lamport; Stendhal's 'Don Carlos': "e;The most moving opera ever written"e;, by Nicholas Cronk; Don Carlos: Grand Opera in Five Acts by Joseph Mery and Camille du Locle; Don Carlo: Italian translation by Achille de Lauzieres and Angelo Zanardini with additional material translated by Piero Faggioni; Don Carlos: English translation by Andrew Porter; Introduction by Jennifer Batchelor

The Botany of Beer

An Illustrated Guide to More Than 500 Plants Used in Brewing

By: Giuseppe Caruso

From mass-produced lagers to craft-brewery IPAs, from beers made in Trappist monasteries according to traditional techniques to those created by innovative local brewers seeking to capture regional terroir, the world of beer boasts endless varieties. The diversity of beer does not only reflect the differences among the people and cultures who brew this beverage. It also testifies to the vast range of plants that help give different styles of beer their distinguishing flavor profiles. This book is a comprehensive and beautifully illustrated compendium of the characteristics and properties of the plants used in making beer around the world. The botanical expert Giuseppe Caruso presents scientifically rigorous descriptions, accompanied by his own hand-drawn ink images, of more than 500 species. For each one, he gives the scientific classification, common names, and information about morphology, geographical distribution and habitat, and cultivation range. Caruso provides detailed information about each plant’s applications in beer making, including which of its parts are employed, as well as its chemical composition, its potential toxicity, and examples of beers and styles in which it is typically used. The book also considers historical uses, aiding brewers who seek to rediscover ancient and early modern concoctions. This book will appeal to a wide audience, from beer aficionados to botany enthusiasts, providing valuable information for homebrewers and professional beer makers alike. It reveals how botanical knowledge can open new possibilities for today’s and tomorrow’s brewers.
