Izzy Delaney is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, with an unapologetic style of her very own. She is certain that she is destined for great things; if only she could hold down a job for more than a couple of weeks. Whether it's her blue hair or her inability to conform to polite convention, Izzy can't seem to find her niche. Jay Archer is moody and introspective, and most definitely not a member of the Izzy Delaney fan club. In fact, Izzy can't remember hearing him utter a complete sentence to her in... well, forever. He prefers to fade into the background and observe life from a safe distance. Despite living in the same apartment and sharing a best friend, these polar opposites barely tolerate one another. Until a chance encounter on stage changes everything. A song written but never meant to be heard, a video accidentally gone viral, and an unthinkable tragedy. How can a bond so fragile be expected to stand up against the domino effect of The Duet?

This book turns an international lens on the experiences of refugees in Sicily to shed light on urgent issues around the migration crisis. The authors survey migrants, NGOs, practitioners and activists to build a detailed picture of the systems and processes behind the reception of migrants on the island, and the local, national and international policies that determine them. They examine the living conditions of arrivals, the industry that has built up around migration, and local and humanitarian responses. This is an important case study about the reception of migrants with key lessons for migration policy in the Mediterranean and beyond.

In the original introduction to Pascal D'Angelo's Son of Italy, the renowned literary critic Carl Van Doren praised D'Angelo's autobiography as an impassioned story of his "enormous struggles against every disadvantage." In his narrative of his fruitless labor as a "pick and shovel" worker in America, D'Angelo, who immigrated from the Abruzzi region of Italy, describes the harsh, often inhumane working conditions that immigrants had to endure at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, interested in more than just material success in America, D'Angelo quit working as a laborer to become a poet. He began submitting his poetry to some of America's most prestigious literary and cultural journals until he finally succeeded. But in his quest for acceptance, D'Angelo unwittingly exposed the complexities of assimilation. Like the works of many other immigrant writers at the time, D'Angelo's autobiography is a criticism of some of the era's most important social themes. Kenneth Scambray's afterword is an analysis of the complexities of this multifaceted autobiographical voice, which has been read as a simplistic immigrant narrative of struggle and success. Guernica's edition of Son of Italy is its first English reprint since its original publication in 1924.

As infants and children we use our vocalizations to express our needs and emotions. As we grow older these vocalizations become confined to language. The suppression of emotional sounds because they may be considered childish or undignified is quite commonplace in Western cultures. Yet when done with vigor, the sounds made by laughing, groaning, humming, keening, and sighing hold within them great power for healing. In The Healing Power of the Human VoiceJames D'Angelo introduces the concepts behind sound healing and provides simple, practical exercises for beginners. He explains in detail the meanings and healing attributes of the whole range of human vocal expression, from vowels and consonants to the natural sounds of laughter or sighs. He praises the power of singing and reveals the ways in which group singing can contribute to physical and mental health. He also presents authentic classical chants and mantras from cultures around the world and shows how we can combine various vocal sounds to form our own mantra to help clear chakra blockages. All of the sounds discussed, as well as the techniques for producing overtones, are placed in a ritualized context and are accompanied by simple movements to enhance tuning the body toward inner harmony, health, and peace.

Con Hopper come con Vermeer, i soggetti umani e materiali servono come supporti, anche come pretesti, per trattare argomenti divini e spirituali - o meglio, dovremmo dire, del soggetto divino e spirituale unico di cui l'arte deve occuparsi prima di tutto: la rivelazione del sacro. Il sacro ha sempre a che fare, in un modo o nell'altro, con la luce. I due pittori seguono, sotto questo aspetto, un approccio simile, nella stessa direzione e con un risultato simile. Forse, tuttavia, rileveremo tra loro una differenza in termini di sentimento ed emozione - senza dubbio un segno di una differenza tra i loro tempi: mentre l'incontro con la luce sinonimo, a Vermeer, di una serenit , anche un pizzico di divertimento, c' , in Hopper, una connotazione patetica e forse un'atmosfera drammatica.
