Pisa, Ediz.ETS 2008, cm.14x21, pp.80, brossura Testo in inglese. Energy is certainly the most important resource, factor of production, commodity in the world economy, and human beings always try to obtain it in increasing quantities to ensure their own survival, to obtain more goods and services, to improve their quality of life and well being. Every stage of development is defined by a specific amount of energy. A mode to confirm this link is the positive relationship between Gross Demand Product per capita and Total Primary Energy Consumption per capita. Obviously, the consumption of energy is linked to the population dynamics too. It is forecasted that the world population will be 8 billion people in 2025. Increased population means increased energy consumption. But it is unrealistic to snatch energy unlimitedly and at the same time, energy generation and utilization have, in every case, an environmental impact and cause exhaustion of resource. Based on this background the Authors aim to forecast the probable world energy demand in the future. According to the Authors' scenario, the world energy demand will be 18 Gtoe in 2025, in which 8 Gtoe for developed countries (7.1 Gtoe in 2005) and 10 Gtoe for developing countries (4.3 Gtoe in 2005). In this scenario China and India play a significant role because of their prominent economic growth and population proportion in the future, which means a revolution in the world energy market and then a new international order in the future. The advent of an international energy policy is expected to demonstrate a deferred refund of contributions that some poor people had to give (their liberty and even life) for the benefit of most rich countries in the past. The Authors regard this international equity with great importance because it can alleviate the heavy problems of the future generations.

Editi a cura di Mario Sina, Marco Ballardin e Elena Rapetti. Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2011, cm 17 x 24, xiv-522 pp. Corrispondenze (le) letterarie, scientifiche ed erudite dal Rinascimento all'età moderna - Subsidia, 12. I corsi di J.-R. Chouet, che insegnò nell’Accademia di Ginevra (1669-1686), dopo aver insegnato in quella di Saumur (1664-1669), vengono qui editi per la prima volta integralmente. Nel primo volume sono raccolti il Syntagma logicum e la Brevis Introductio ad Metaphysicam; nel secondo il Syntagma physicum, il Tractatus de rebus viuentibus siue animatis e la Pneumatologia in compendium redacta. Un’ampia introduzione, dedicata all’influsso esercitato nella formazione filosofica di Chouet sia dalla tradizione aristotelica sia dai novatores, contribuisce all’individuazione delle fonti dell’insegnamento di questo maestro. / The courses of J.-R. Chouet, professor at the Academies of Saumur and Geneva, are published here for the first time in complete form. The first volume presents Syntagma logicum and Brevis Introductio ad Metaphysicam; the second presents Syntagma physicum, Tractatus de rebus viuentibus siue animatis and Pneumatologia in compendium redacta. The introduction, indicating the sources of his teaching, highlights the influence of both the Aristotelian tradition and the novatores on his philosophical formation.
