        Jacopo da Varagine's Chronicle of the city of Genoa

        by C. E. Beneš, Rosemary Horrox

        This book offers the first English translation of the Chronicle of the city of Genoa by the thirteenth-century Dominican Jacopo da Varagine, an author best known for his monumental book of saints' lives, the Golden legend. Jacopo's Chronicle presents a coherent vision of Genoa's place in history, the cosmos and Creation as written by the city's own archbishop - mixing eyewitness accounts with scholarly research about the city's origins and didactic reflections on the proper conduct of public and private life. Accompanied by an extensive introduction, this complete translation provides a unique perspective on a dynamic medieval city-state from one of its most important officials, broadening the available literature in English on medieval Italian urban life.

        Photography and social movements

        From the globalisation of the movement (1968) to the movement against globalisation (2001)

        by Antigoni Memou

        Now available for the first time in paperback, Photography and social movements is the first thorough study of photography's interrelationship with social movements. Focusing on photographic production and dissemination during the student and worker uprising in Paris in May 1968, the Zapatista rebellion, and the anti-capitalist protests in Genoa in 2001, the book argues that at times of political uprisings, photographic documentations, often contradictory, strive to prevail in the public domain, extending the political or economic struggle to a representational level. Photography plays a central role in this representational conflict, by either reproducing or challenging stereotypical narratives of protest. This groundbreaking interdisciplinary analysis of a wide range of practices - amateur and professional - and of previously unpublished archival material will add considerably to students', researchers' and scholars' knowledge of both the visual imagery of political movements and the developing history of photographic representation. ;

        Columbus, the Discarded Explorer

        Disaster of the legendary sailor

        by Wolfgang Wissler

        There he stands, the man the whole of Spain cheered, before whom the most catholic regents Isabella and Ferdinand rose to their feet, his eyes on his ship Capitana, devoured by shipworm, stranded off Jamaica. Some of the crew mutiny, the locals can no longer be fobbed off with glass beads, the Spanish on the nearby island of Hispaniola do not help, the world doesn‘t want anything to do with him, the demanding whinger. He, Christopher Columbus, is a John Lackland, a king without land, a conqueror without conquest. Between fiction and historical truth, Wolfgang Wissler recounts the legendary sailor‘s last expedition in an entirely new way – and what a story it is!

        City of Fortune

        How Venice Won and Lost a Naval Empire

        by Roger Crowley

        A magisterial work of gripping history, City of Fortune tells the story of the Venetian ascent from lagoon dwellers to the greatest power in the Mediterranean - an epic five hundred year voyage that encompassed crusade and trade, plague, sea battles and colonial adventure.In Venice, the path to empire unfolded in a series of extraordinary contests - the sacking of Constantinople in 1204, the fight to the finish with Genoa and a desperate defence against the Turks. Under the lion banner of St Mark, she created an empire of ports and naval bases which funnelled the goods of the world through its wharfs. In the process the city became the richest place on earth - a brilliant mosaic fashioned from what it bought, traded, borrowed and stole.Based on first hand accounts of trade and warfare, seafaring and piracy and the places where Venetians sailed and died, City of Fortune is narrative history at its finest. Beginning on Ascension Day in the year 1000 and ending with an explosion off the coast of Greece - and the calamitous news that the Portuguese had pioneered a sea route to India - it will fascinate anyone who loves Venice and the Mediterranean world.

        Liguria

        by Rosie Whitehouse

        The only in-depth guide to Liguria, a mountainous region of dizzy passes and breath-taking views where mountains plunge down into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. Liguria will leave you awestruck by its beauty. The narrow strip of coast includes the gems of the world famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the glitzy resort of Portofino and the charms of the Cinque Terre. Yet in the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists. The walks vary in difficulty so are accessible to all. Many of the walks and cycle routes featured in the book are through beautiful wilderness._x000D_ _x000D_ Unlike other guides to the region, Liguria includes a detailed description of the mountains and their hilltop villages. With a strong regional identity all of its own, Liguria is almost a country within a country. The spectacular scenery, the mediaeval towns, quaint fishing ports and the wonderful food have attracted some of the world's most famous writers among them Byron, Mary and Percy Shelley, Henry James, Dickens, Maupassant, D H Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and Dylan Thomas. Tourists flock to the Cinque Terre and Portofino but many of the other resorts have few foreign visitors so Liguria has the best of both world's to offer the visitor the big names on the Mediterranean destination list and mountain villages and small fishing ports which are almost exclusively Italian. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

        Shooting Stars Are The Flying Fish Of The Night

        by Lynn Michell & Stefan Gregory

        If you dream or plan to sail off into the blue, you will learn from this book. A great read.— Sir Chay Blyth   We dreamed for years of crossing an ocean. Then we did it in a blue boat called Scarlet.   A book of many voyages, this account of crossing the Atlantic is much more than a book about sailing. As one reviewers says, ‘It is an endearing human story of a family battling to survive, physically and emotionally.’   There is the meandering trail of nights spent on the internet and trips across the globe hunting for the perfect boat for blue water sailing and for crossing oceans. There is the preparation – stalled in a sweltering American boatyard - while arguments about equipment and finance combine with the narrowing of the hurricane window. There is the crossing itself which starts with the wrong weather, broken boat parts, torn sails, serious leaks and a very seasick crew as Scarlet gets blown off course in unkind seas.   Male and female monologues form the internal voyages. The skipper’s thoughts range from the challenges of fitting a wind vane to almost losing an arm in a tangled genoa to the navigational system of the Puluwat Islanders. His wife describes diminishing food supplies, the damp, bruises, blue eggs, jellyfish and her anxiety about the deteriorating health of her son who, suffering from ME, should not have been persuaded to go with them.   External and internal journeys criss-cross as Scarlet sails on across 3000 miles of ocean. She would have told a different story.   Lynn Michell has published 14 books with HarperCollins, Longman and The Women’s Press. They include a writing scheme for schools, an account of life with ME and two books about mothering adolescents with The Women’s Press, one of which received massive media attention and was translated into several languages. Her debut novel, White Lies, was runner up for Scotland’s Robert Louis Stevenson award, and has received rave reviews. Her second novel is being published in 2015 by Inspired Quill. A third novel is in preparation.   Stefan Gregory fell in love with boats at the age of four while dangling his head over the side of a skiff. He is an experienced sailor who has voyaged eventfully with Lynn off the North Wales coast, in Majorca, Croatia and the Caribbean. This was his first ocean crossing. In his day job, he pursues equally dangerous philosophical theories.

        A Brief History of Pasta

        In Ten Traditional Dishes

        by Luca Cesari

        Pasta is Italy’s national dish and if there is one thing that every Italian menu around the world cannot lack – be it in Italy or in the United States, in France or in Hong Kong – is pasta al pomodoro. But what’s the story behind this dish everyone thinks they know so well? And what about pasta alla carbonara or amatriciana, or ragù alla bolognese?  A Brief History of Pasta will answer every burning question you may have on the history of your favorite dishes, complete with different recipes (the oldest, the most common, the most intriguing variations...) and a treasure-trove of anecdotes about how these dishes evolved, in Italy and in the rest of the world. Because there is only one thing that could not be left home, when an Italian decided to embark on an adventure abroad: a notebook full of pasta recipes.

        Liguria in Cucina - The flavours of Liguria

        Ricette della tradizione Traditional recipes

        by Enrica Monzani

        “As happens all over the world, the nature of a place, its history, its culture and the character of those who live there are all revealed at the dining table. So how can we define the Ligurian kitchen? It is multifaceted, colourful and above all full of contrasts, because Liguria is itself like this: made of high mountains that fall steeply to the coast, of sea and woodland, different in the East and the West, of seafaring and peasant culture but also mercantile and cosmopolitan, shy and reserved, yet open to the world.” This book is an act of love for the flavours, terroir and history of Liguria; a culinary journey through a region where everything is used, and where past and present, simplicity and creativity all have influence in the kitchen. Enrica Monzani shares the tastes and aromas of home, the land that Ligurian sailors longed for while on their long voyages at sea.

        VERMOUTH DI TORINO

        dai liquorosi del Settecento il vino profumato che inebria il mondo

        by GIUSI MAINARDI

        Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque. Immagini indimenticabili sono state create da importanti artisti per la sua réclame. Stupende etichette con la loro speciale grafica ne hanno portato e ne portano il nome in mille Paesi. Questo vino sta vivendo un’epoca di grande apprezzamento, tanto da aver ottenuto dall’Unione Europea il riconoscimento dell’Indicazione Geografica che identifica e sancisce il legame con una terra, una tradizione, un “saper fare” unico. Bevuto puro o in celeberrimi cocktail, il Vermouth di Torino è protagonista di un racconto avvincente che parte dalla mondana “ora del Vermouth” tipica di Torino, per giungere al moderno rito sociale dell’“happy hour".
