        Puglia

        Tra Cielo e Mare - Between sea and sky

        by William Dello Russo, Giovanni Simeone, Johanna Huber

        The seafaring heart of the Puglia sends its beat like a tom tom from port to port. And it is a heart made up of small and lively fishing villages that stretch out into the Adriatic and are embraced by it, of whitewashed whitewashed villages, of worn and shiny stone streets. And each one smells of salt and fish. The beach is near the house, the sea almost at home. At dawn, the light imbues the perfect geometric interlocking of houses, churches and castles overlooking the water and illuminates the fishermen who set sail on colorful boats.

        That Summer in Puglia

        by Valeria Vescina

        That Summer In Puglia is a tale of love, loss, the perils of self-deception and the power of compassion. Puglia offers an ideal setting: its layers of history are integral to the story, itself an excavation of a man’s past; Tommaso’s increasingly vivid memories of its sensuous colours, aromas and tastes, and of how it felt to love and be loved, eventually transform the discomforting tone with which he at first tries to keep Will – and painful truths – at a distance. This remarkable debut combines a gripping plot and perceptive insights into human nature with delicate lyricism.

      • Saint Michael The Archangel

        Saint Michael The Archangel

        by Immacolata Aulisa, Claudio Azzara, Gioia Bertelli, Pierre Bouet, Ada Campione, Franco Cardini, Manuel Castiñeiras, Gerardo Cioffari, Alessandro di Muro, Klaus Herbers, Renzo Infante, Gábor Klaniczay, Giorgio Otranto, Francesco Panarelli, Giuseppe Sergi, André Vauchez, Catherine Vincent

        From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent.   With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe.   Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.

        Like wild beast

        by Giuse Alemanno

        Oppido Messapico, a small town in deepest Puglia. Costantino Ro chira and his henchmen plan to wipe out the rival mob family, the Sarmenta. It’s all about money and the neighboring Calabrese mob, the ‘Ndrangheta. But the plan works only halfway: by sheer luck the Sarmentas’ only son, Massimo aka Mattanza (Slaughter), a troubled and cruel kid, cheats death, together with his uncles and his cousin Santo. They all leave town on an old Fiat Regata, after clearing the family money and staging their own disappearance. Their trip leads them in the far North of Italy, in Lombardy’s Val Camonica, where an old friend and compatriot, Giovanni Argento, gives them shelter. There, Santo and Mattanza plot their revenge… “Like Wild Beasts” is a tough novel with hard-core nuances, sparing nothing and no one: a Tarantino movie, as told by Giovanni Verga.

        PRIMITIVO

        Il vino dei due mondi

        by Antonio Calò, Angelo Costacurta

        Armonia, ordine, bellezza del paesaggio, qualità del vino, che nel caso del Primitivo si aggiungono ad un termine irrinunciabile: tradizione. Se il vino nasce dalla composizione delle vigne, dobbiamo considerare che i cambiamenti nell’ambito produttivo viticolo sono per natura lenti, legati al fatto che trentennale è la normale vita di un impianto. I trent’anni poi sono il seguito della tradizione mitigata da ponderata innovazione. Chi scelse il nome del Primitivo? La memoria, che è storia ed è anche leggenda, ci racconta di un religioso, appassionato di botanica, don Francesco Filippo Indellicati, di Gioia del Colle, la città pugliese a metà strada dallo Jonio all’Adriatico. Sul finire del Settecento individuò il vitigno, oggetto di scambio con la costa orientale adriatica, confacente alla sua idea di rinnovamento viticolo. Un vitigno che fruttificava presto, primo a maturare. Nel 2000 Antonio Calò individuò il felice futuro del Primitivo, qualità emergente fra i rossi, accanto al Negroamaro, al Nero d’Avola e a pochi altri. Aveva ragione.

        by Theib Oweis

        There is increasing competition for water resources in the face of declining aquifer reserves and increasing risk in many areas of drought related to climate change. At the same time poor water management is damaging agriculture with problems such as salinization, waterlogging, erosion and run-off. This volume summarises the wealth of research on understanding and better management of water resources for agriculture.Part 1 reviews fundamental issues such as plant water use and soil water retention. Part 2 discusses ways of mapping and monitoring groundwater and surface water resources whilst Part 3 covers other sources such as rain and floodwater, waste and brackish water. Part 4 surveys developments in irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation and fertigation. The final sections in the book discuss ways of using water resources more efficiently such as site-specific and deficit irrigation techniques.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, this wlll be a standard reference for agronomists, scientists involved in water and irrigation science as well as government and non-governmental organisations responsible for agriculture and water resource management.
