The Notebooks of Serafino Gubbio

Shoot!

By: Luigi Pirandello

Serafino is a typical Pirandellian anti-hero, a spectator rather than a participant in the tragi-comedy of human existence. Indeed he has the perfect job for it, that of a film cameraman. Serafino is an observer, an impersonal tool of a new industry based on make-believe. All he has to do is turn the handle of his camera and watch. He has no part in what is going on and is so removed from life that the mauling of an actor by a tiger cannot deflect him from filming the action. The Notebooks of Serafino Gubbio is set in Rome circa 1915, partly on a film set, partly in the city. ‘Pirandello's critique of industrial-technological advance and the human toll such work takes was not entirely novel, even in his time, but is still powerful and well-presented. As far as his analysis of the film-industry goes, it's remarkable for its times -- and not without relevance even today. The Notebooks of Serafino Gubbio is a slightly strangely-woven story, meandering in its reflection and action at times, but all the more striking in those blows it does deliver -- against dehumanizing industrial advances, and the loss of the human element. It has one hell of a conclusion, too. All in all, it's still well worth reading.' M.A. Orthofer in The Complete Review ‘Though Pirandello first published this book on the heels of the Edwardian era, it remains curiously relevant to the modern-day reader – who, like Gubbio, will likely be familiar with the numbness of discerning the world through a lens or a screen.’ Naomi Griffiths in Buzz Magazine

The Temple of Peace in Rome

By: Pier Luigi Tucci

In this magisterial two-volume book, Pier Luigi Tucci offers a comprehensive examination of one of the key complexes of Ancient Rome, the Temple of Peace. Based on archival research and an architectural survey, his research sheds new light on the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque transformations of the basilica, and the later restorations of the complex. Volume 1 focuses on the foundation of the complex under Vespasian until its restoration under Septimius Severus and challenges the accepted views about the ancient building. Volume 2 begins with the remodelling of the library hall and the construction of the rotunda complex, and examines the dedication of the Christian Basilica of SS Cosmas and Damian. Of interest to scholars in a range of topics, The Temple of Peace in Rome crosses the boundaries between classics, archaeology, history of architecture, and art history, through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period.

Energy-Efficient Computing and Data Centers

By: Luigi Brochard,Vinod Kamath,Julita Corbalán,Scott Holland,Walter Mittelbach,Michael Ott

Data centers consume roughly 1% of the total electricity demand, while ICT as a whole consumes around 10%. Demand is growing exponentially and, left unchecked, will grow to an estimated increase of 20% or more by 2030. This book covers the energy consumption and minimization of the different data center components when running real workloads, taking into account the types of instructions executed by the servers. It presents the different air- and liquid-cooled technologies for servers and data centers with some real examples, including waste heat reuse through adsorption chillers, as well as the hardware and software used to measure, model and control energy. It computes and compares the Power Usage Effectiveness and the Total Cost of Ownership of new and existing data centers with different cooling designs, including free cooling and waste heat reuse leading to the Energy Reuse Effectiveness. The book concludes by demonstrating how a well-designed data center reusing waste heat to produce chilled water can reduce energy consumption by roughly 50%, and how renewable energy can be used to create net-zero energy data centers.

The History Of Painting In Italy Vol. 6

By: Luigi Lanzi

The History of Painting in Italy, Vol-6 is the final volume of a six-volume work by Luigi Lanzi. The work is a comprehensive history of painting in Italy from the 13th to the 18th centuries, and it is considered to be one of the most important works of art history ever written. Vol-6 covers the period from the late 17th century to the end of the 18th century. This period saw the rise of new artistic styles, such as Rococo and Neoclassicism, and it also saw the decline of the Italian Renaissance tradition. Lanzi provides a detailed overview of the major artists and works of art of this period, and he also discusses the social and cultural factors that influenced the development of Italian painting. The History of Painting in Italy, Vol-6 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art. It is a well-researched and informative work that provides a comprehensive overview of a critical period in the development of Italian painting.

Tax Systems and Tax Reforms in South and East Asia

By: Luigi Bernardi,Angela Fraschini,Parthasarathi Shome

This book examines the present status, recent tax reforms and planned tax policies in some South and East Asia countries since the 1990s. The evidence is presented in a user friendly manner, but at the same time uses technically sophisticated methods. The main countries studied are China, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand. It is unique for being the first systematic treatment of the topic: hitherto, the information available has been widely dispersed and difficult to access. It should prove to be a natural companion to two previous books on taxation published by Routledge and also edited by Luigi Bernardi.

Teachers, Students, and Schools of Greek in the Renaissance

By: Federica Ciccolella,Luigi Silvano

The beginning of the Greek revival in the West is generally attributed to the teaching of the Byzantine scholar Manuel Chrysoloras in Florence between 1397 and 1400. Causes, aspects, and consequences of this important cultural phenomenon still need to be analyzed in depth. The essays collected in this volume examine the development of the study of Greek from the fifteenth to the early sixteenth century, reconstructing its spread and impact on early modern literatures, philosophy, and visual arts. An analysis of the methods and tools used to teach and learn Greek sheds light on the complex cultural relationships between Byzantium and the West and enlarges the traditional picture of the Greek revival in early modern Europe. Contributors are: Lilia Campana, Federica Ciccolella, Mariarosa Cortesi, Francesco G. Giannachi, Fevronia Nousia, Kalle Lundahl, Erika Nuti, Denis Robichaud, Antonio Rollo, Luigi Silvano, David Speranzi, and Paola Tomé.

El tiempo congelado

Anorexia y bulimia entre individuo, familia y sociedad

By: Luigi Onnis

La anorexia y la bulimia son trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en alarmante expansión. Difundidas sobre todo entre las mujeres adolescentes, expresan sin embargo un sufrimiento que va más allá del problema nutricional. Este libro quiere devolver a estos trastornos el significado de «fenómenos complejos», en los que se entrecruzan influencias socioculturales, relacionadas con las profundas transformaciones del rol de la mujer en una sociedad que exhibe cuerpos eternamente jóvenes y eficientes; aspectos psicológicos individuales, que en la problemática relación con el cuerpo expresan dificultad para asumir el crecimiento; y dinámicas familiares, donde la rigidez de los lazos y mitos compartidos parecen detener las propias capacidades evolutivas de las jóvenes. Hay pues un hilo conductor que atraviesa los múltiples componentes invo-lucrados en estos trastornos: el imposible intento de suspender el tiempo del desarrollo y del crecimiento. De este tiempo suspendido, el cuerpo anoréxico y bulímico ofrece una sugestiva metáfora, cuyos significados se van reconstruyendo pacientemente en esta obra. Una guía esencial que ayudará a comprender mejor el sentido de un sufrimiento cada vez más extendido entre las generaciones jóvenes.
