Brossura. Condition: new. English Text.Roma, 2017; paperback, pp. 312, ill., cm 17x24.(I Libri di Viella. Arte). The objective of this book is to draw attention to fifth-century Rome - to those hundred years which even today need to be looked at from different perspectives. It is a key moment, a border between worlds, far too important not to receive further attention. The studies, presented here together, aim to respond to new demands: the art object remains at the centre, but with a new search for its context. This context would be unthinkable without the key concept of co-existence - between popular and elite culture, popes and emperors, pagans and Christians. As well as between liturgy - necessary to the Christian world - and patronage - the intellectual project which stems from a cultural concept. Moreover, co-existence is crucial between the mindset of the Roman elites (the tradition inscribed in the city's DNA), and new demands arising from this rich moment in the history of Rome. The fifth-century, studied in this book, is the moment in which future and past meet, and Antique and Christian coincide. An artistic moment with only one identifying feature: its incredibly rich complexity. With articles by Sible de Blaauw, Olof Brandt, Zuzana Frantová and Dale Kinney. Libro.…

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di M. D'Onofrio.Roma, 2016; br., pp. 566, ill. b/n, cm 17x23.(I Libri di Viella. Arte). Il volume offre un quadro della committenza artistica a Roma nel corso di tutto il Medioevo attraverso uno studio dettagliato sulle figure dei singoli pontefici che ne furono i principali promotori. I fatti artistici, analizzati dal punto di vista della committenza papale, non solo consentono di capire il significato primario connesso alla loro funzione, ma ricreano anche un'immagine speculare del contesto culturale di appartenenza. L'ambito cronologico, circoscritto fra il pontificato di Silvestro I (314-335) e quello di Martino V (1417-1431), lascia intravedere nel comportamento di molti pontefici la persistenza di una mentalità che, da un atteggiamento iniziale di semplice patronato e protezionismo, si tramuta nel tardo Medioevo in vero e proprio mecenatismo. I saggi raccolti, ricchi di spunti e suggestioni, pongono sotto la giusta luce aspetti meno noti di una città come Roma, quale centro ideale della cristianità e termine imprescindibile di riferimento per le sue valenze storico-artistiche.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Insects and plants have been interacting for more than 350 million years, often resulting in species variability and radiation. Studying insect-plant chemical and mechanical interactions at different levels can help shed light on the complex factors driving the evolutionarily successful relationship between these two groups. This Special Issue focuses on the chemical and physical interactions between insects and plants to understand the functional significance of plant chemistry, plant surface structures, and their relationships with a broad range of ecological groups of insects, including pollinators, herbivores, and predators. The results of the investigations presented in this Special Issue can help develop effective management strategies to successfully control insect pest infestations or pollination strategies for diverse cropping environments.…

If there is one constant in the history of Christianity and especially of the Western Church, it is its deep desire to be connected with its own past. From the perspective of the longue durée, it might even be possible to state that a meditation on Christian origins was a common and widespread response used throughout history in the face of each great moment of crisis within the Church. In those situations, the rhetoric produced by the Church was always aimed at emphasizing a desire to return to these mythical roots, the ideal community, a pure and radical Christianity. The question underlying this book is the way in which this desire for the past provides the occasion to re-live, re-think and re-create Christian origins. More precisely, the crux of our work is to understand how this desire can transform and rewrite the past both in materiality with restorations of ancient monuments and in ideas writing history. In this book, the main focus of attention is dedicated to three key moments, corresponding more or less to three crucial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church in the modern era. The first of these three is the Reformation and subsequent Counter-Reformation, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Second comes the moment in which the Catholic Church lost its temporal power during the Unification of Italy and the "spiritual" reaction culminating with the First Vatican Council (1869-1870). Lastly is the period before and after the Second.
