Directors talk theat
by Maria M. Delgado, P. P. Heritage
In 1994 the Arts Council of Great Britain brought together a number of theatre directors as part of the City of Drama celebrations. This is a collection of interviews and discussions with directors who have helped shape the development of theatre in the last 20 years. They include Peter Brook, Peter Stein, Augusto Boal, Jorge Lavelli, Lluis Pasqual, Lev Dodin, Maria Irene Fornes, Jonathan Miller, Jatinder Verma, Peter Sellars, Declan Donnellan, Ariane Mnouchkine, Ion Caramitru, Yukio Ninagawa and Robert Wilson. In addition to the art and craft of directing, there are discussions on multiculturalism; the "classical" repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; and theatre and society. Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2003'Other' Spanish theatres
Erasure and inscription on the twentieth-century Spanish stage
by Maria M. Delgado
'Other' Spanish theatres challenges established opinions on modern Iberian theatre by considering the roles of contrasting figures and companies who have impacted upon both the practice and the perception of Spanish and European stages. In questioning the primacy of the dramatist, this pioneering study offers a new interpretation of a nation's theatrical culture that has been viewed primarily through the prisms of a select number of playwrights. Accordingly many of the conclusions reached are new ones, and the case, for acknowledging the wide influence of Spanish practitioners on theatre in Europe and the Americas is made in persuasive terms. Through a bold documentation and interrogation of key productions and their reception both at home and abroad, 'Other' Spanish theatres focuses on the doing of performance, asking provocative questions around how performances are tested against the texts that remain. In a broad and detailed study Delgado selects six case studies which map out alternative readings of a nation's theatrical innovation through the twentieth century: muse and mentor to Federico Garcia Lorca, Margarita Xirgu; theatrical innovator and influence on Orson Welles, Enrique Rambal; tragedienne Maria Casares feted by George Craig Camus, Genet and Cocteau; actress, producer and director Nuria Espert; international director Lluis Pasqual and Catalan performance company La Cubana. ;

Business, Economics & LawMay 2018Local Identities and Transnational Cults within Europe
by Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Alfonsina Bellio, Riccardo Cruzzolin, Paola de Salvo, Laurent S. Fournier, Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Etienne Guillaume, André Julliard, Tony Kiely, Inga B. Kuzma, Mathilde Lamothe, Gaëlla Loiseau, Daniele Parbuono, Gianfranco Spitilli
Local-level pilgrimages, when based on strong expressions of faith, can have a much wider local, regional and international appeal. It has been estimated that pilgrims and religious tourists number around 330 million per year, meaning development of these faith identities can help drive destination visitation and regional development. This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, thus illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity. Focusing on the interrelationship of cultural groups and the overall formation of culture and society, this book: - Uses a range of multidisciplinary, sociological and ethnographic studies to illustrate the evolution of pilgrimage sites and saints. - Includes practical case studies and illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage development from a variety of international perspectives. - Provides a selection of discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to engage with further study and investigation of these important issues. An invaluable review of cultural identity and faith, this book delivers to scholars, students and local policy makers a collection of current perspectives on the growth, development and evolution of faith practices surrounding contemporary and historical sites and saints.

The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Key Features Collects together the major health impacts for the first time Covers animal and plant invasive species Examines issues in developed and developing countries The broad spectrum of the analyzed case studies will ensure the appeal of the book to a wide public, including researchers of biological invasions, doctors, policy-makers and managers, and students of invasive species in ecology, animal and plant biology and public health medicine.

Children's & YAColossus
by Riccardo Francaviglia
The theme of diversity and acceptance in the metaphor of love between a mother and her cumbersome child.When he was born he was small like everyone else. Then he grew up and became a colossus. A colossus is a problem and nobody wants to have any problems. An album to tell how to be too big, or just different, can be a problem, and nobodywants problems. But for mothers, no child is a problem and perhaps there is a placewhere they aren’t giants. An album about the acceptance and love of mothers, and countries that know how to open their doors.

THE VERTIGO OF THE CLIMB
SMALL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE THRILL OF PEDALLING UPWARDS
by RICCARDO BARLAAM
“I go so hard uphill to shorten my agony”. This is how Marco Pantani tried to explain the meaning of what he did: the vertigo of the climb. When the Pirata sprinted, Italy stopped. His sprints had become a sort of mass orgiastic ritual. The bandana was off, the head down, the hands on the handlebars in the sprint position, the grimace of pain that looked like a bitter smile. In the climb, ever since cycling was born - in this extraordinarily close to mountaineering - there is the highest moment of a sport that speaks with sweat, muscles and heart as well as wheels and pedals. An absurd claim to try to conquer the climbs. A challenge to one's own limits and to fatigue, which for a strange alchemy, physical but also inner, is transformed into elation and intimate joy only on arrival. At the top. Where the infinitely small becomes everything.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2019Rionero, settembre 1943. Una strage, nessun colpevole
by Giovanni Marino, Pasquale Libutti
On September 26, 1943, Canadian troops liberate Rionero in Vulture, in Basilicata, Italy, while the Nazi-Fascist troops retreat further north. The first soldiers who enter the town discover a massacre of innocent civilians, which took place two days earlier. It is the first time that the Allies are able to document a war crime in Europe: the reports and images of the massacre will be published in countless newspapers in Canada, England and the United States. The trial on Rionero’s bloodshed in 1943 will be held in 1951, without identifying any culprit. This research reconstructs the events of Rionero, where in two separate episodes 18 people were killed and others lost their lives due to war, or in any case remained obscure. Other documentation concerns events that took place in nearby Atella, where two civilians and a German soldier die in unclear circumstances.
