Studies in comparative federalism. Argentina, The United States and Mexico.
by Antonio María Hernández.
Comparing the federalism of Argentina with that of the United States, which was its model, and with that of Mexico, which, like the Argentine, is Latin American, is a complex and difficult challenge, for many reasons, starting with the breadth and depth of the different historical, juridical, political, economic, cultural, and social situations that must be analyzed. Chapter I explains the conceptual and methodological underpinning of this study, beginning with some theoretical concepts of federalism and of the classification of federal political systems, to be able to accurately characterize our object of study. This is the reason for the greater length of Chap. II, comparing the federalism of Argentina with that of the United States, where we devote our attention to that important debate and other cultural, institutional, and political aspects in which we differ. Finally, Chap. III compares Argentina with Mexico, a country with which we have greater historical, political, and cultural similarities, being part of Latin America.

Es rico, excéntrico, poderoso, mujeriego y astuto. Durante la preguerrasus clientes son Mussolini, Hitler y Franco; entre otros.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2018El Talón de Hierro
by Jack London
El manuscrito Everhard contiene la historia de un socialista revolucionario quien, como político y líder de masas obreras, busca la génesis de una gran revuelta para lograr la igualdad y detener el avance de una oligarquía avasalladora, llamada por él el Talón de Hierro. El texto, encontrado y examinado con debidas notas al pie por una sociedad del futuro donde estos abusos ya no ocurren, retrata el momento en que los trabajadores despiertan y la aristocracia los golpea para reprimir sus luchas por los derechos sociales, llevando el capitalismo a un extremo autodestructivo. Si bien esta novela publicada en 1908 fue considerada una distopía en los Estados Unidos, sus alcances proféticos incitaron a futuros editores a utilizar portadas con la imagen de Salvador Allende. Además ejerció una fuerte influencia en otras obras sobre gobiernos totalitarios, la más famosa de ellas 1984 de George Orwell.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2020AL CROCEVIA DEI POPOLI "MONDO VECCHIO E MONDO NUOVO" (1848)
by Luisa Rendina, Antonio Cecere
The revolutionary season of the "Primavera dei Popoli" would have been decisive for the Risorgimento’s mission. The liberal opening and the first parliamentary apprenticeship started the progressive disintegration of the Pre-unification States and a first consequent nationalization of the Italian space. Nonetheless, the 1848 also coincided with the conquest of public space: the proliferation and diffusion of newspapers concurred to radically modify revolutionary practice and, in many cases, to superimpose political militancy on journalistic militancy.Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina, Lucan, spearhead of the radical-democratic group, would have founded the most widely read, most widespread and most "guarded" newspaper of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies: «Il Mondo Vecchio e il Mondo Nuovo». La stagione rivoluzionaria della «Primavera dei popoli» sarebbe stata determinante per la missione risorgimentale. L'apertura liberale e il primo apprendistato parlamentare avviarono la progressiva disgregazione degli Stati Preunitari e una prima conseguente nazionalizzazione dello spazio italiano. Nondimeno il Quarantotto coincise anche con la conquista dello spazio pubblico: la proliferazione e diffusione dei giornali concorsero a modificare radicalmente la prassi rivoluzionaria e a sovrapporre, in molti casi, la militanza politica a quella giornalistica. Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina, lucano, punta di diamante del gruppo radical-democratico, avrebbe fondato il Giornale più letto, più diffuso e più "sorvegliato" del Regno delle Due Sicilie: «Il Mondo Vecchio e il Mondo Nuovo».

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2019Nosotros, Colombia… Comunicación, paz y (pos)conflicto
by Sergio Roncallo-Dow, Juan David Cárdenas Ruiz, Juan Carlos Gómez Giraldo
Peace seems to have been elusive in Colombian history. The ups and downs in the negotiation processes, the unfulfilled promises, and the political polarization have made Colombia a nation in a state of continuous crisis and that, in spite of itself - to take up the old Bushnell phrase - has managed to stay afloat and, above all, do not lose hope for a stable and lasting peace. There have been numerous attempts to build it and they seem to have been unsuccessful, especially because a good part of the collective representation that we have of them has been built from the media apparatus that, in the case of our country, has been at the service of power and that it has resulted in skepticism that, especially since the 1990s, has tended to transform into a strong polarization. With this book, we want not only to think about peace and (post) conflict from communication but to remind (us), once again, that we can still be we.

May 2022VERMOUTH 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".

Foglie sparse
by Alessandra Jatta
The October Revolution described through the incredulous eyes of a noble Moscow woman who sees her whole world collapsing in an instant. And her determination to try to save at least her family and her dignity in the midst of the disaster. Alessandra Jatta gives us an unusual perspective on some of the most dramatic moments in Russian history over the last century, revealing the thoughts and concerns of an entire social class at the moment of its decline. A true story, in which the use of photos, excerpts from diaries and documents belonging to the author’s direct ancestors adds value to a narrative that will leave you breathless.

September 2019Teologia dell’ospitalità
by Marco, Dal Corso (ed.)
A hospitable practice needs hospitable thinking and a way of believing. If, before being a right, existing is a debt that is extinguished only by becoming hospitable people, theology is called to favour coexistence among people by overcoming even its own self-understanding, when this is an obstacle to dialogue, helping to live this great change, and learning to welcome the spiritual riches that are for all. This, to the point of making a public contribution at the service of human and spiritual growth of humanity. A research of great value for a hospitable belief, which gives a theological foundation to a new paradigm of welcome and which opens up concrete perspectives for the indispensable interreligious dialogue.

Food & DrinkOctober 2022The Heart of Cocoa
500 Years of Chocolate History
by Napoleone Neri
The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.

PENGUINS AT THE EQUATOR
not everything you hear on climate is true
by LUCA PERRI, SERENA GIACOMIN
From one of the most famous astrophysicist on the Web and a meteorologist from the Epson Meteo Center, an exhilarating guide to uncovering climate-related hoaxes.We are in May, in New York it freezes. Global warming, where the hell are you? this tweet by Donald Trump is just one of the many blunders of the US president, victim of a great confusion between global warming and weather. But Donald is not the only one who has unclear ideas on the subject: just open Facebook to come across hundreds of denial theories. Luca Perri and Serena Giacomin collect the best climatic lies, and then disassemble them in this book which blends laughters and sciencee theory of the Second Punic War stands out among the most famous of them: “ere was no snow on Hannibal’s Alps, this explains the crossing with elephants”. If the authors of similar posts had bothered to read the version of Tito Livio (1st century BC), they would at least have had discovered that maybe there was some ice on the mountains, and how in fact, the Carthaginian pachyderms died of cold.From sunspots to the displacement of the Earth’s axis, from legends about Greenland, to the alleged benaects of the increase in CO2, an astrophysicist and atmospheric phht together to combat functional illiteracy
