Questo non è un romanzo storico, né un trattato di storia. È storia. Mischiata ai dolci artifici delle parole e del mito, come un’amara medicina col miele. Memorie su Alessandro è come entrare direttamente in un mondo lontano, tenuti per mano dall’autrice consapevole di quanti aspetti quotidiani della storia e della politica antica siano per molti ancora insospettabili. Attraverso l’intreccio di ricordi di uomini e donne che lo conobbero, la storia personale di Alessandro ci conduce alla comprensione del suo mondo con uno stile intimo, umile, teneramente biografico, poggiato sulla base di garantita e rigorosa fedeltà storica. Perché la storia non va giudicata. Solo i modi per capirla e spiegarla devono essere rivisitati, così come per l’arte e la letteratura. È un dialogo tra anime che potrebbe essere verosimilmente avvenuto, per quel che noi possiamo ancora saperne, duemilatrecento anni dopo. Questo libro è un modo nuovo di ripercorrere l’esistenza di Alessandro Magno, dalla sua infanzia alla decennale impresa di conquista, dalla Macedonia all’Indo. Perché un uomo volle spingersi ai confini del mondo allora conosciuto? Quale era l’immaginario famigliare, culturale ed eroico di un re macedone? Le fonti antiche, si sa, davano per scontato ciò che ai contemporanei era ben chiaro e condiviso e per questo, nella nostra epoca, la fama eterna dei classici e dei grandi personaggi si perpetua più per sentito dire che per reale comprensione. Le figure emblematiche e universalmente conosciute sono da sempre state soggette a rivisitazioni tendenziose e a luoghi comuni, soprattutto dalla storia e biografia antica, greca e latina, stilisticamente legate ai prodigi e all’encomio. E se questo è valido per molti personaggi, lo è doppiamente per Alessandro. La sua breve esistenza fu romanzata già in vita acquisendo dimensioni mitiche e sempre più lontane dalla realtà. Passò alla storia come il Grande. Il lettore avrà gli strumenti per capire da sé il perché di tale appellativo e scoprire in cosa lo fu o se lo fu molto meno.

Versione in Bianco e nero. Il volume che arriva oggi a questa edizione riveduta ed ampliata vuole ricordare Alessandro Anselmi, come architetto e come uomo, tramite le parole di prestigiosi colleghi, amici e studiosi che con lui hanno lavorato e condiviso difficoltà e speranze. Nato in occasione della conferenza organizzata alla Facoltà di Architettura di Roma, in occasione del trigesimo della scomparsa di Anselmi, promossa da Franco Purini e dal coordinatore del dottorato di Architettura Teorie e progetto Antonino Saggio, il libro fornisce un ricco ritratto della figura di Anselmi che sonda non solo gli aspetti legati alla ricerca architettonica, ma anche quelli del suo impegno come uomo politico e didatta. In quattro blocchi tematici "Disegno ed enigmi", "Vuoto", "Visioni", "Interruzioni" dodici giovani dottorandi arricchiscono il volume con spunti di riflessioni che spostano l'operatività del grande architetto al domani: "Frammenti di Futuro".

Following discussions on scientific biography carried out over the past few decades, this book proposes a kaleidoscopic survey of the uses of biography as a tool to understand science and its context. It offers food for thought on the role played by the gender of the biographer and the biographee in the process of writing. To provide orientation in such a challenging field, some of the authors have accepted to write about their own professional experience while reflecting on the case studies they have been working on. Focusing on (auto)biography may help us to build bridges between different approaches to men and women's lives in science. The authors belong to a variety of academic and professional fields, including the history of science, anthropology, literary studies, and science journalism. The period covered spans from 1732, when Laura Bassi was the first woman to get a tenured professorship of physics, to 2009, when Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider were the first women's team to have won a Nobel Prize in science.

Eudiometers were instruments originally devised for checking the ‘goodness’ of common air. Seeking to be more than just a chronological inventory of eudiometers, this book presents a unique retrospective of these fascinating apparatuses from the end of the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. By paying particular attention to the experimental procedures involved over the course of the test, this book aims to understand and explore how eudiometers function, to describe the materials used in making them and the different reagents employed in each eudiometrical test. Importantly, eudiometers were employed within a variety of spheres including human and animal health, gas analysis, chemical theory, plant and animal physiology, atmospheric composition, chemical compound composition, gas lighting, chemical revolution and experimental demonstration. Finally, this book looks to redress the existing imbalance in the history of chemistry regarding the attention given to theoretical aspects of chemistry in comparison to chemical practice and apparatus. The few existing accounts of chemical devices written in the past century have not been sufficiently helpful for the understanding of experimental practice in chemistry. Until now no work that deals exclusively with eudiometers and gas analysis from a historical standpoint has been published. Thus, this book will not only cast new light on the subject, but will also contribute to further research on the history of chemical instruments.

On March 24, 1944, Nazi occupation forces in Rome killed 335 unarmed civilians in retaliation for a partisan attack the day before. Portelli has crafted an eloquent, multi-voiced oral history of the massacre, of its background and its aftermath. The moving stories of the victims, the women and children who survived and carried on, the partisans who fought the Nazis, and the common people who lived through the tragedies of the war together paint a many-hued portrait of one of the world's most richly historical cities. The Order Has Been Carried Out powerfully relates the struggles for freedom under Fascism and Nazism, the battles for memory in post-war democracy, and the meanings of death and grief in modern society.

Six hundred years after Poggio’s retrieval of the De rerum natura, and with the recent surge of interest in Lucretius and his influence, there has never been a better time to fully assess and recognize the shaping force of his thought and poetry over European culture from antiquity to modern times. This volume offers a multidisciplinary and updated overview of Lucretius as philosopher and as poet, with special attention to how these two aspects interact. The volume includes 18 contributions by established as well as early career scholars working on Lucretius’ philosophical and poetic work, and his reception both in ancient and early modern times. All the chapters present new and original research. Section I explores core issues of Epicurean-Lucretian epistemology and ethics. Section II expounds much new material on ancient response to and reception of Lucretius. Section III presents new material and analysis on the immediate, fraught early modern reception of the poem. Section IV offers a wide collection of new and original papers on Lucretius’ fortunes in the period from Machiavelli up to Victorian times. Section V explores little known aspects of the iconographical and biographical motifs related to the De rerum natura.

In March 1896 a well-disciplined and massive Ethiopian army did the unthinkable-it routed an invading Italian force and brought Italy's war of conquest in Africa to an end. In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia had successfully defended its independence and cast doubt upon an unshakable certainty of the age-that sooner or later all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans. This event opened a breach that would lead, in the aftermath of world war fifty years later, to the continent's painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule. Raymond Jonas offers the first comprehensive account of this singular episode in modern world history. The narrative is peopled by the ambitious and vain, the creative and the coarse, across Africa, Europe, and the Americas-personalities like Menelik, a biblically inspired provincial monarch who consolidated Ethiopia's throne; Taytu, his quick-witted and aggressive wife; and the Swiss engineer Alfred Ilg, the emperor's close advisor. The Ethiopians' brilliant gamesmanship and savvy public relations campaign helped roll back the Europeanization of Africa. Figures throughout the African diaspora immediately grasped the significance of Adwa, Menelik, and an independent Ethiopia. Writing deftly from a transnational perspective, Jonas puts Adwa in the context of manifest destiny and Jim Crow, signaling a challenge to the very concept of white dominance. By reopening seemingly settled questions of race and empire, the Battle of Adwa was thus a harbinger of the global, unsettled century about to unfold.
