Abstract: From their emergence in the New World centuries ago, through their evolution into contemporary Native Americans, the Apache, Navajo, and Pueblo peoples of the American southwest have endured the hardships of a desert land and hostilities with those who would usurp it and annihilate their culture. They now face the challenge of maintaining an ancient system of beliefs and a separate identity while coexisting in the modern world with peoples whose philosophy and way of life are very different. In American Indians of the Southwest, anthropologist Bertha Dutton combines an interdisciplinary approach with the kind of wisdom and knowledge gained only after years of research and experience to tell us their story.She discusses the history and current status of each group of native southwestern Indians, including those who no longer exist or who have merged with other groups. She skillfully guides us through the web of Indian prehistory and history, from creation myths and other legends through the development of language groups and the building of the first pueblos, to the disruption of Native American life by outside encroachment and invasion. Her comprehensive account of Indian history is coupled with an insightful commentary on contemporary Indian life and issues, including tribal governments and their relations with the U.S. federal government, as well as economic and social concerns.

A cura di Gabriele Corsani. Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2010, cm 17 x 24, vi-164 pp. con 7 figg. n.t. e 3 tavv. f.t. a colori. Aquae - Studi e testi sulle terme, 4. Il volume presenta significativi approcci al tema dell’acqua in Italia e in Inghilterra nel XIX secolo. Alle acque lombarde per l’agricoltura e il trasporto celebrate da C. Cantù e da C. Cattaneo e all’auspicio di C. Tommasi-Crudeli per un efficiente controllo delle acque urbane, fanno riscontro la proposta di inventario dell’acqua come componente della ricchezza nazionale di A. Marshall e l’ampio prospetto delle acque ludiche di E. Howard per la sua città giardino. I testi di Marshall e di Howard sono tradotti per la prima volta in italiano. / The volume presents a number of significant approaches to the issue of water in Italy and England during the 19th century. The use of Lombard water for agriculture and transport celebrated by Cantù and Cattaneo as well as Tommasi-Crudeli’s wish for an efficient monitoring of urban drainage, find correspondence in Marshall’s proposal for a water inventory as part of national wealth and in Howard’s ample use of recreational waters for his garden city. The texts by Marshall and Howard are translated to Italian for the first time.

Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2013, cm 17 x 24, xii-212 pp. Biblioteca di «Nuncius», 72. Inglese Quale rapporto intercorre tra scienza e metafisica? Quale importanza hanno il vissuto e la formazione dello scienziato sulle sue scoperte? Sono questi i quesiti da cui muove l’autore per fare luce su alcuni degli aspetti concettuali più controversi dell’interpretazione della Meccanica Quantistica di Niels Bohr. L’autore si cimenta nel non facile tentativo di tracciare il percorso creativo compiuto dallo scienziato Danese, attraverso un’approfondita analisi epistemologica e una minuziosa ricostruzione storiografica. / What’s the relationship between science and metaphysics? How can the scientist’s cultural background and the daily life inspire his scientific discoveries? Starting from such questions, the author goes on enlightening some of the most controversial aspects of Niels Bohr’s interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. The author plows on, trying to delineate the process of discovering made by the Danish scientist, by means of epistemological analysis and an accurate historiographical reconstruction.
