Measuring Space Power

A Theoretical and Empirical Investigation on Europe

By: Marco Aliberti,Matteo Cappella,Tomas Hrozensky

This book provides an in-depth investigation of the concept of space power and devises a novel conceptual framework for empirically measuring and comparing different typologies of space actors on the basis of clearly defined criteria. In turn, the book identifies a comprehensive set of conditions required to achieve and maintain the status of space power and explores the main political, security, and socio-economic stakes involved. Building on this basis, the book conducts a comparative assessment of the major space actors, the underlying aim of which is to examine Europe’s relative position in the space arena and put into perspective its proclaimed goal to assert itself as a space power, with all of the means and resources this would entail. Given its scope, the book represents a valuable and versatile tool to support European decision-making and offers key insights for executives, space professionals and scholars alike.

Giovanni Aurelio Augurello (1441–1524) and Renaissance Alchemy

A Critical Edition of Chrysopoeia and Other Alchemical Poems, with an Introduction, English Translation and Commentary

By: Matteo Soranzo

In Giovanni Aurelio Augurello (1441–1524) and Renaissance Alchemy, Matteo Soranzo offers the first in-depth study of the life and works of Augurello, Italian alchemist, poet and art connoisseur from the time of Giorgione. Analysed, annotated and translated into English for the first time, Augurello’s poetry reveals a unique blend of late medieval alchemical doctrines, Northern Italian antiquarianism and Marsilio Ficino’s Platonism, enriching conventional narratives of Renaissance humanism.

The African Prester John and the Birth of Ethiopian-European Relations, 1402-1555

By: Matteo Salvadore

From the 14th century onward, political and religious motives led Ethiopian travelers to Mediterranean Europe. For two centuries, their ancient Christian heritage and the myth of a fabled eastern king named Prester John allowed the Ethiopians to engage the continent's secular and religious elites as peers. Meanwhile, back home the Ethiopian nobility came to welcome European visitors and at times even co-opted them by arranging mixed marriages and bestowing land rights. The protagonists of this encounter sought and discovered each other in royal palaces, monasteries, and markets throughout the Mediterranean basin, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean littoral, from Lisbon to Jerusalem and from Venice to Goa. Matteo Salvadore's narrative takes the reader on a voyage of reciprocal discovery that climaxed with the Portuguese intervention on the side of the Christian monarchy in the Ethiopian-Adali War. Thereafter, the arrival of the Jesuits at the Horn of Africa turned the mutually beneficial Ethiopian-European encounter into a bitter confrontation over the souls of Ethiopian Christians.

Galileo Engineer

Galileo Engineer

By: Matteo Valleriani

Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), his life and his work have been and continue to be the subject of an enormous number of scholarly works. One of the con- quences of this is the proliferation of identities bestowed on this gure of the Italian Renaissance: Galileo the great theoretician, Galileo the keen astronomer, Galileo the genius, Galileo the physicist, Galileo the mathematician, Galileo the solitary thinker, Galileo the founder of modern science, Galileo the heretic, Galileo the courtier, Galileo the early modern Archimedes, Galileo the Aristotelian, Galileo the founder of the Italian scienti c language, Galileo the cosmologist, Galileo the Platonist, Galileo the artist and Galileo the democratic scientist. These may be only a few of the identities that historians of science have associated with Galileo. And now: Galileo the engineer! That Galileo had so many faces, or even identities, seems hardly plausible. But by focusing on his activities as an engineer, historians are able to reassemble Galileo in a single persona, at least as far as his scienti c work is concerned. The impression that Galileo was an ingenious and isolated theoretician derives from his scienti c work being regarded outside the context in which it originated.

Wound Healing, Fibrosis, and the Myofibroblast

A Historical and Biological Perspective

By: Giulio Gabbiani,Matteo Coen,Fabio Zampieri

Wound Healing, and the Myofibroblast: A Historical and Biological Perspective is the fruit of an interdisciplinary and international collaboration involving a historian of medicine (Dr. Zampieri), a physician (Dr. Coen), and a researcher (Prof. Gabbiani, world-renowned for his discovery of the myofibroblast). This book aims to draw a concise yet complete description of the conceptual evolution of wound healing, fibrosis and fibrosis-related pathologies from antiquity to present time, as well as commenting on the role of the myofibroblast and the key cell type essential for tissue repair and fibrosis (from its identification in 1971 throughout its 50-years-old history).By viewing this complex and century-long history from different perspectives, the book's authors aim to draw an exhaustive overview, with the hope of inspiring new and fruitful basic and clinical research. - Interdisciplinary collaboration: complementary views from medical historian, a physician and a researcher - A concise but detailed history of fibrosis, readers can discover the major scientific breakthroughs along this history - Includes the pathophysiology of various fibrotic diseases - Explores the role of myofibroblast in fibrosis development

Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out, Tenth Anniversary Edition

Kids Living and Learning with New Media

By: Mizuko Ito,Sonja Baumer,Matteo Bittanti,Danah Boyd,Rachel Cody

The tenth-anniversary edition of a foundational text in digital media and learning, examining new media practices that range from podcasting to online romantic breakups. Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out, first published in 2009, has become a foundational text in the field of digital media and learning. Reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people live and learn with new media in varied settings—at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces—it presents a flexible and useful framework for understanding the ways that young people engage with and through online platforms: hanging out, messing around, and geeking out, otherwise known as HOMAGO. Integrating twenty-three case studies—which include Harry Potter podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups—in a unique collaborative authorship style, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out combines in-depth descriptions of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis. Since its original publication, digital learning labs in libraries and museums around the country have been designed around the HOMAGO mode and educators have created HOMAGO guidebooks and toolkits. This tenth-anniversary edition features a new introduction by Mizuko Ito and Heather Horst that discusses how digital youth culture evolved in the intervening decade, and looks at how HOMAGO has been put into practice. This book was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California.

Eating God

A History of the Eucharist

By: Matteo Al Kalak

Eating God examines the history of the Eucharist as a means for understanding transformations in society from the late Middle Ages onwards. After an introduction on the sacrament from its origins to the Protestant Reformation, this book considers how it changed the customs and habits of society, on not only behavioural and imaginative levels, but also artistic and figurative level. The author focuses on Counter-Reformation Italy as a laboratory for the whole of Christendom subject to Rome, and reflects on how, even today, the transformations of the modern age are relevant and influence contemporary debate. This book offers an innovative path through the history of a sacrament, with consideration of its impact as an ‘object’ that was used, venerated, eaten, depicted and celebrated far beyond the sphere of liturgical celebration. It will be particularly relevant to those interested in cultural history and the history of Christianity.

Sleepless Nights and Kisses for Breakfast

Reflections on Fatherhood

By: Matteo Bussola

This #1 Italian bestseller, offering a father's observations of the everyday moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, has struck a chord with readers around the globe. Matteo Bussola is a designer and cartoonist who lives in Verona, Italy with his wife Paola; their three young daughters, Virginia, Ginevra, and Melania (ages eight, four, and two); and their two dogs. For two years, he's been writing posts on Facebook capturing the beauty of ordinary moments with his family. Sleepless Nights and Kisses for Breakfast is the memoir that grew out of these writings. Divided into winter, spring, summer, and fall, the book follows the different seasons of parenthood and life. At times moving, and at others humorous, these writings remind people to savor the present and appreciate the simple things in life. As Matteo says, "Virginia, Ginevra, and Melania are the lens through which I observe the world. . . . My daughters remind me that being a father means living in that gray area between responsibility and carelessness, strength and softness." Sleepless Nights and Kisses for Breakfast is an eloquent memoir by a gifted storyteller. Sleepless Nights and Kisses for Breakfast is a winner of the 2017 Family Choice Awards.

I Collegi per stranieri a/e Roma nell'età moderna

I. Cinque-settecento

By: Alessandro Boccolini,Matteo Sanfilippo,Péter Tusor

Lo studio della formazione nella prima età moderna di un numero notevole di collegi romani o comunque sotto la supervisione di Roma, dove si doveva formare il clero dei paesi eurpei ed extra-europei, offre due interessanti possibilità ai ricercatori. In primo luogo permetee di seguire le strategie della Santa Sede per diffondere e difendere la fede cattolica in Europa e in Medio Oriente. In secondo luogo facilita l'analisi della cospicua presenza straniera nella città, perché spesso tali collegi divenivano il fulcro di veri e propri gruppi immigrati. Queste due prospettive possono essere incrociate e comparate su scala europea, poiché i collegi romani non erano a sé stanti, ma facevano parte di reti continentali, ben rivelate dalle carte dell'Archivio storico di Propaganda Fide.

Un passato mai concluso

By: Matteo Bianco

Tra l'Adriatico e le Alpi, tra il Collio e la Bassa. Tra cittadini e campagnoli, tra la gente di mare di Trieste e i montanari della Carnia. Tra la concretezza del Friuli odierno e il patrimonio di leggende, fiabe e cultura popolare del Friuli che fu. Tra un passato mai concluso e un futuro mai del tutto giunto. Un omaggio a questo confuso microcosmo di idee, luoghi e destini che è il Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Sulle gobbe del leviatano

By: Matteo Carletti

Tra l'Emilia e la Toscana, tra i territori del Frignano e della Garfagnana, si articola un suggestivo concatenamento di gobbe, selle, cime, passi, una giogaia rocciosa costituita da alcune delle più significative vette dell'Appennino settentrionale. Si tratta del crinale, fondamentale riferimento orografico da cui si dipartono a pettine una serie di creste secondarie che declinano verso la pianura, come sinuose schiere di primordiali, immense creature dalla pelle coriacea, impressa dalle ere e concrezionata dal tempo. Scopri attraverso questo libro i luoghi e le genti del crinale tosco-emiliano, tra storia ed escursionismo.

Storie de Gorizia

By: Matteo Bianco

Ogni città è fatta di intrecci; meravigliosi, casuali incontri di uomini, luoghi, tradizioni, ricordi, dettagli. Gorizia è qui raccontata attraverso gli occhi di chi ha visto la propria vita sbocciarvi, senza cercarvi orgogli o campanilismi, senza la presunzione di insegnare storia o sociologia. Questi sono racconti, piccoli ritratti di persone, momenti, nostalgie, riflessioni, tutti presentati come tasselli di un mosaico che altro non è se non una piccola città di confine del nord-est italiano; luogo con i suoi perché e i suoi tratti peculiari che tuttavia - infondo - ricorda che la vita è grande per gli stessi motivi, in ogni luogo.

Gli agenti presso la Santa Sede delle comunità e degli Stati stranieri I. Secoli XV-XVIII

By: Matteo a cura di Sanfilippo,Péter a cura di Tusor

Questo volume contribuisce a dettagliare il quadro più generale degli studi sulla curia pontificia come uno dei principali centri della diplomazia europea durante i primi secoli dell’età moderna. Prosegue dunque la riflessione già avviata con Gli “angeli custodi” delle monarchie: i cardinali protettori delle nazioni (2018). Allo stesso tempo ribadisce l’incertezza riguardo a come incasellare attività, quali quelle degli agenti, soltanto in seguito formalizzate. Proprio per verificare tale sviluppo, al presente volume terrà dietro un secondo incentrato sulla evoluzione otto-novecentesca degli agenti presso la curia pontificia.
