Agriculture & related industriesJune 2013Potential Invasive Pests of Agricultural Crops
by Jose Romeno Faleiro, Alvaro Castañeda Vildózola, Robert A Haack, Crebio Avila, Jose Roberto Parra, Mark S Hoddle, Alberto Urbaneja, Ana E Diaz Montilla, Juli Gould, Andrea Birke, Aldo Malavasi, V J Satarkar, Raymond J Gagne, Juliet Goldsmith, J.

Edited by Jorge E Peña.
Invasive arthropods cause significant damage in agricultural crops and natural environments across the globe. Potentially threatened regions need to be prepared to prevent new pests from becoming established. Therefore, information on pest identity, host range, geographical distribution, biology, tools for detection and identification are all essential to researchers and regulatory personnel. This book focuses on the most recent invasive pests of agricultural crops in temperate subtropical and tropical areas and on potential invaders, discussing their spread, biology and control.

FictionMay 2018Diario de un olvidista (Diary of a forgetful person)
by Paolo Pagliai
Diary of a Forgetful Man shows us 1978, the year in which the Italian Red Brigades kidnapped the Christian Democrat leader Aldo Moro. Those were fateful days for the Italian nation: Pope Paul VI implored, the UN and countless other actors were on tenterhooks as letters from Aldo Moro and communiqués from the Brigades appeared. The country was discussing the end, the means. And there were other underlying questions: what is the intimacy of the debate? Are the actions premeditated, do they govern themselves? Can a movement be transformed, who transforms it? These are, precisely, the latent questions here. This novel, based on Moro's letters, creates a post-revolutionary (perhaps Mexican) reality to pose the transformation of a utopia. The moral crossroads of those who defend or attack it are probably the same.

HistoryJuly 2020The End of the Past
Ancient Rome and the Modern West
by Aldo Schiavone
This searching interpretation of past and present addresses fundamental questions about the fall of the Roman Empire. Why did ancient culture, once so strong and rich, come to an end? Was it destroyed by weaknesses inherent in its nature? Or were mistakes made that could have been avoided—was there a point at which Greco-Roman society took a wrong turn? And in what ways is modern society different? Western history is split into two discontinuous eras, Aldo Schiavone tells us: the ancient world was fundamentally different from the modern one. He locates the essential difference in a series of economic factors: a slave-based economy, relative lack of mechanization and technology, the dominance of agriculture over urban industry. Also crucial are aspects of the ancient mentality: disdain for manual work, a preference for transcending (rather than transforming) nature, a basic belief in the permanence of limits. Schiavone’s lively and provocative examination of the ancient world, “the eternal theater of history and power,” offers a stimulating opportunity to view modern society in light of the experience of antiquity.

Society & culture: generalMay 2020Progress
by Aldo Schiavone
The twentieth century saw a faster and more radical transformation of the material and cultural conditions of life than any previous century in the history of the human species. It was also the first century that saw huge masses of women and men in every part of the planet become protagonists of their own destiny. But it was also the century which, particularly in its last two decades – with an increasing tendency, transmitted with even greater force to the following century – saw the crumbling of the idea that human history had a meaning and a direction, and that it had a general tendency to improve from generation to generation. That is to say, it destroyed the idea of progress, hitherto a banner of modernity (the ancient world had never conceived of anything similar, being imprisoned in a closed and limited representation of time and historicity). And this at the very time when it should have been celebrating its triumph. How was it possible for this to happen? What lies behind this seeming paradox? And what does it tell us about the difficulty of the period through which we are passing? What future does it suggest? This book tries to answer these questions by standing at the crossroads between different disciplines, in a perspective of the social history of ideas: philosophy, science, politics, anthropology, material culture. But it is also intended as a modest suggestion that may help us rediscover a sense of our history – one that is not linearly optimistic or providentialistic, but still conscious of the extraordinary potential of the human species, at this point in its development.

April 2016Dos Aldos
by Guerra, Pablo; Díaz, Henry
Gold Medal of the 11th International Manga Award. A neurobotany laboratory in the middle of the desert is the setting where a strange love triangle begins. The experiment carried out there will confront the identity of the characters in this story, launching them on a journey charged with nudism and betrayal. Pablo Guerra, an expert in comics and graphic novels, makes Dos Aldos an absurd and unconventional science fiction story. Guerra takes advantage of the possibilities offered by the creation of a futuristic world to reflect on the way humans relate to each other and what role science plays in these relationships. Added to the audacity of this story is cartoonist Henry Díaz's extraordinary interpretation of a world in which a plant can duplicate a human being.
