Il primo racconto, intitolato I Diacri, espone le avventure escursionistiche montane di sei professionisti, durante le quali, affrontano temi scientifici e religiosi, oltre che motivi profani ed esperienze di vita sociale. Nel corso delle loro peregrinazioni sui monti di Mandra Murata, montagna costellata di paesini antichi, nell'attraversare una di queste borgate, i Diacri riscontrano la presenza, sulla parete di un'abitazione, di una lapide inneggiante ad un uomo gigantesco, dalla vita avventurosa in terra di Francia, alla fine della prima metà dell'800. Tale circostanza fa da spunto all'inizio della seconda storia, la cui narrazione viene curata da uno degli escursionisti, che si incarica di raccogliere notizie sulle imprese di quel personaggio. Il racconto lascia un velo di mistero sull'impegno finale di quell'uomo erculeo, che sisobbarca il compito di nascondere uno scrigno, appartenuto, nientemeno, a Garibaldi e contenente valori e documenti, di stampo massonico, ritenuti dal gigante importanti per la società in profonda trasformazione, in un luogo impervio di Mandra Murata. A causa di vicissitudini collegate alle vicende del brigantaggio abruzzese, il cofanetto, celato all'interno di un nido di falchi, presente in una profonda dolina dalle pareti rocciose inaccessibili, viene abbandonato dal colosso. Il rinvenimento casuale del prezioso bauletto verrà effettuato da un ragazzo, alla ricerca di pulcini di falconidi, un secolo dopo. Egli nota un luccichio, tra il guano e il detrito che ricoprono il coperchio della scatola e si appropria del contenuto dello scrigno. È la fine del terzo racconto, che prende le mosse dalla rievocazione delle gesta infantili di un gruppo di ultracinquantenni, residenti in varie parti d'Italia e all'estero, i quali decidono di incontrarsi durante le ferie estive ed organizzare un simposio conviviale, previa ripetizione di alcune delle imprese compiute durante la loro infanzia, trascorsa in un sobborgo povero del paese natio nell'immediato dopoguerra. Rione che, per contrasto con la ricchezza del quartiere più facoltoso di New York, aveva ricevuto il nomignolo di Wall Street. È nel corso di questa terza e ultima storia che il mistero dello scrigno, rimasto tale per tanti anni, viene svelato in un momento di ebbrezza del commensale scopritore del tesoro, indotto a bere molti bicchieri di vino dagli amici, nutrenti, a lungo, sospetti sul cambiamento repentino di vita del loro compagno, fin da ragazzo. Ma il termine dell'opera pone un dilemma: l'ebbro verrà creduto?

Tre storie, tra il reale e il fantastico, che hanno in comune un legame ideale con un rilievo minore dell'Appennino centrale. Il primo racconto, ambientato in pieno Medioevo, prende l'avvio dall'attentato al papa, nel corso di una processione lungo le strade della Roma imperiale, trascinato nell'ipogeo palatino, per avviarlo ad un processo sommario e ad una rapida esecuzione. Scoperto il complotto da parte delle guardie papali, il pontefice viene segregato in un convento a lui ostile, mentre i congiurati decidono di informare Carlo Magno, come estremo difensore della cristianità e molto devoto al papa precedente. Il re scende in Italia con l'intesa non solo di ripristinare l'ordine nella città eterna, ma di dar attuazione in terra d'Abruzzo ad un sogno che lo ossessiona come il presagio di una punizione divina, da quando, in piena guerra contro i Sassoni, fece barbaramente decapitare migliaia di prigionieri. A molestarlo nel sogno è un santo pellegrino proveniente dalla Siria, errante nei monti di Mandra Murata. Il secondo racconto si svolge in epoca moderna e narra la storia di un giovane dal passato burrascoso, il quale, onde sfuggire al rigore della giustizia italiana, si arruola nella Legione straniera. Le vicissitudini di quella vita faticosa, prima in Indocina, poi in Algeria, lo proiettano nel bel mezzo della battaglia di Timgad, antica città romana in territorio berbero, tra le forze francesi e i ribelli algerini, dove ferito, viene dato per morto. Un suo lamento da agonizzante è, però, raccolto da una crocerossina, la quale ascolta una sua incomprensibile richiesta di aiuto, non per sé, ma per un bambino da lui salvato da un assalto terroristico presso un villaggio di pieds noir. Il terzo racconto si dipana, in chiave fantascientifica, in un futuro non molto lontano, allorché un attempato astronauta, abituato, lui giovane speleologo affermato, all'oscurità delle grotte, tenta un assai difficile viaggio interstellare per dirottare un microbuco nero dalla traiettoria che lo vede proiettato verso il centro del sistema solare, con conseguente fatale alterazione della sua stabilità e successiva distruzione di ogni forma vivente. Il suo scopo, tuttavia, non è solo quella missione umanitaria, ma la realizzazione di un vaticinio sconvolgente, rivelatogli da una affascinante chiaroveggente, quando, poco più che ventenne, sta per iniziare un'esplorazione speleologica nelle grotte di Stiffe. Il presagio parla di una vita passata all'epoca della costruzione di una delle sette meraviglie del mondo antico, l'Artemision.

A vibrant city-state on the Adriatic sea, Dubrovnik, also known as Ragusa, was a hub for the international trade between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. As a result, the city suffered frequent outbreaks of plague. Through a comprehensive analysis of these epidemics in Dubrovnik, Expelling the Plague explores the increasingly sophisticated plague control regulations that were adopted by the city and implemented by its health officials. In 1377, Dubrovnik became the first city in the world to develop and implement quarantine legislation, and in 1390 it established the earliest recorded permanent Health Office. The city’s preoccupation with plague control and the powers granted to its Health Office led to a rich archival record chronicling the city’s experience of plague, its attempts to safeguard public health, and the social effects of its practices of quarantine, prosecution, and punishment. These sources form the foundation of the authors' analysis, in particular the manuscript Libro deli Signori Chazamorbi, 1500-30, a rare health record of the 1526-27 calamitous plague epidemic. Teeming with real people across the spectrum, including gravediggers, laundresses, and plague survivors, it contains the testimonies collected during trial proceedings conducted by health officials against violators of public health regulations. Outlining the contributions of Dubrovnik in conceiving and establishing early public health measures in Europe, Expelling the Plague reveals how health concerns of the past greatly resemble contemporary anxieties about battling epidemics such as SARS, avian flu, and the Ebola virus.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to physiologic anchorage control, explains the implications for clinical practice, and presents an anchorage technique applicable for the treatment of different malocclusions. The concept of physiologic anchorage control is derived from observations of upper molar movement during growth in adolescence, including in the absence of orthodontic treatment, which indicate that molar forward displacement comprises two components: the first due to biologic force or physiologic anchorage loss and the second due to orthodontic force or mechanical anchorage loss. All previous anchorage methods have been based on the assumption that molar anchorage loss is to be attributed solely to the mechanical force used to retract anterior teeth, and the new concept represents a paradigm shift of clinical significance. This book explores the pattern of upper molar growth in depth, highlights the physiologic significance of the curve of Spee, and analyzes the biomechanics of physiologic anchorage control. An anchorage control system that fully takes into account the latest conceptual insights is described and its clinical use and utility, examined.

In Moazzamabad, UP, too large to be a town and too backward to be a city, a young man stabs a police inspector and is beaten to death. The last words he speaks are, ‘My name is Jimmy the Terrorist.’ Journalists descend on the town, ‘like shrill birds’, and a long-time resident decides to tell a story that none of them will know. Jimmy was once Jamaal, son of Rafiq Ansari of Rasoolpur Mohalla, a Muslim neighbourhood in a Hindu town. And his story goes back a long way: to the time when Moazzamabad was named, after Aurangzeb’s son; when Rafiq was seduced by the wealth and refinements of Shabbir Manzil and married Shaista; when the Hanuman temple grew ten storeys high and the head priest was elected mayor; when Shaista died, a mosque was brought down in Ayodhya and Rafiq became a mullah. As Jamaal grows up, watching both his father and his neighbourhood change and curfew reach Moazzamabad, he is changed himself. He becomes Jimmy, one among the countless marginalized trying to find a place in the world, dimly aware that the choices that shape their lives are being made in distant places, where they have no influence. Shortlisted for the Man Asian Prize 2009, this spare, compelling novel, as intimate as it is political, confirms Omair Ahmad’s reputation as one of the most distinctive and exciting new voices in Indian fiction.

Amid the rubble of a city blasted by a civil war that many fear will cross borders and engulf Europe, the Hotel Florida on Madrid's chic Gran Via has become a haven for foreign journalists and writers. It is here that six people meet and find their lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway, his career stalled, his marriage sour, hopes that this war will give him fresh material and a new romance; Martha Gellhorn, an ambitious young journalist hungry for love and experience, thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, idealistic and ground-breaking young photographers based in Paris, want to capture history in the making and are inventing moder photojournalism in the process. And Arturo Barea, chief of the Republican government's foreign press office, and Ilsa Kulcsar, his Austrian deputy, are struggling to balance truth-telling with their loyalty to their sometimes-compromised cause - a struggle that places both of their lives at risk. Hotel Florida traces the tangled wartime destinies of these three couples - and a host of supporting characters - living as intensely as they had ever done, against the backdrop of a critical moment in history. It is a narrative of love and reinvention that is, finally, a story about truth, finding it, telling it - and living it, whatever the cost.
