Neapolitan Volcanoes

A Trip Around Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia

By: Stefano Carlino

This book serves as a guide to discovering the most interesting volcano sites in Italy. Accompanied by some extraordinary contemporary images of active Neapolitan volcanoes, it explains the main volcanic processes that have been shaping the landscape of the Campania region and influencing human settlements in this area since Greek and Roman times and that have prompted leading international scientists to visit and study this natural volcanology laboratory. While volcanology is the central topic, the book also addresses other aspects related to the area’s volcanism and is divided into three sections: 1) Neapolitan volcanic activity and processes (with a general introduction to volcanology and its development around Naples together with descriptions of the landscape and the main sites worth visiting); 2) Volcanoes and their interactions with local human settlements since the Bronze Age, recent population growth and the transformation of the territory; 3) The risks posed by Neapolitan Volcanoes, their recent activity and the problem of forecasting any future eruption.

The colors of seduction

By: Stefano Vignaroli,Emanuela La Capricciosa

A betrayed woman decides that she must get revenge not only against her cheating husband, but also the people who for some time revolved around her life: the lesbian friend, the career police officer, the photographer who is half paparazzi and half private investigator, the Milanese writer, the pusher, and so on. The story takes place in the Marche charming townhome of poet Giacomo Leopardi. This town is where Emanuela will carry out her revenge, based on the number seven and colors, the colors of seduction. Seven colors of the rainbow, seven deadly sins, seven secret rooms of her house where, one after the other, the unsuspecting victims of her revenge will end up. An act of revenge that, however, will leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the protagonist. Emanuela La Capricciosa is the pseudonym behind which, in addition to Emanuela from Recanati, there are some authors belonging to the literary Token Ring, who have created this short novel as a collective work. A pleasant, flowing and intriguing reading, irreverent enough, but never vulgar. Translator: Maria Burnett PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

On the Life of Galileo

Viviani's Historical Account and Other Early Biographies

By: Stefano Gattei

The first collection and translation into English of the earliest biographical accounts of Galileo’s life This unique critical edition presents key early biographical accounts of the life and work of Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), written by his close contemporaries. Collected and translated into English for the first time and supplemented by an introduction and incisive annotations by Stefano Gattei, these documents paint an incomparable firsthand picture of Galileo and offer rare insights into the construction of his public image and the complex intertwining of science, religion, and politics in seventeenth-century Italy. Here in its entirety is Vincenzo Viviani’s Historical Account, an extensive and influential biography of Galileo written in 1654 by his last and most devoted pupil. Viviani’s text is accompanied by his “Letter to Prince Leopoldo de’ Medici on the Application of Pendulum to Clocks” (1659), his 1674 description of Galileo’s later works, and the long inscriptions on the façade of Viviani’s Florentine palace (1702). The collection also includes the “Adulatio perniciosa,” a Latin poem written in 1620 by Cardinal Maffeo Barberini—who, as Pope Urban VIII, would become Galileo’s prosecutor—as well as descriptive accounts that emerged from the Roman court and contemporary European biographers. Featuring the original texts in Italian, Latin, and French with their English translations on facing pages, this invaluable book shows how Galileo’s pupils, friends, and critics shaped the Galileo myth for centuries to come, and brings together in one volume the primary sources needed to understand the legendary scientist in his time.

A Riot Of My Own - Romanzo (Tascabile)

By: Stefano Dorigo,Pantaleo Elicio

La storia racconta la vita di Sergio. Dopo la giovinezza trascorsa in una Milano calda, ribelle e libera, una città che ricorda molto la capitale meneghina degli anni '70 e delle lotte dell'area dell'autonomia operaia, Sergio si vede costretto a nascondersi dalla polizia, in quanto ricercato in ragione del suo attivismo politico. Dopo un breve ma intenso periodo di latitanza, passato tra l'Italia e Vienna, troverà rifugio a Parigi, dove potrà finalmente, lentamente e con difficoltà, costruirsi una nuova vita. Dopo ventitré anni di esilio ritorna a Milano, dove si confronta con un Paese dove la contro-rivoluzione ha portato al razzismo di Stato e alla mercificazione selvaggia di ogni cosa. L'Italia di Berlusconi. Azione, tumulti e intensità filosofica s'intrecciano con momenti ultra comici che fanno sorridere, ridere e che trasmettono una forte gioia a chi legge. Un romanzo d'azione, d'amore e di vita tra i più genuini e intensi. #Seconda edizione, con la prefazione di Gianfranco Pancino#
