Perfect for fans of The Poppy War and The Jasmine Throne.María Lunurin has been living a double life for as long as she can remember. To the world, she is Sister María, dutiful nun and devoted servant of Aynila's Codicían colonizers. But behind closed doors, she is a stormcaller, chosen daughter of the Aynilan goddess Anitun Tabu. In hiding not only from the Codicíans and their witch hunts, but also from the vengeful eye of her slighted goddess, Lunurin does what she can to protect her fellow Aynilans and the small family she has created in the convent: her lover Catalina, and Cat's younger sister Inez.Lunurin is determined to keep her head down—until one day she makes a devastating discovery, which threatens to tear her family apart. In desperation, she turns for help to Alon Dakila, heir to Aynila's most powerful family, who has been ardently in love with her for years. But this choice sets in motion a chain of events beyond her control, awakening Anitun Tabu's rage and putting everyone Lunurin loves in terrible danger. Torn between the call of Alon’s magic and Catalina’s jealousy, her duty to her family and to her people, Lunurin can no longer keep Anitun Tabu’s fury at bay.The goddess of storms demands vengeance. And she will sweep aside anyone who stands in her way.

Appunti di una giovane anima: (Alexandra Tomasi di Lampedusa)

Appunti di una giovane anima: (Alexandra Tomasi di Lampedusa)

Independently Published

"Appunti di una giovane anima (Alexandra Tomasi di Lampedusa)" narra mezzo secolo (1904-1954) della storia d'Europa, compresa la Russia, attraverso la vita di una coppia straordinaria: Alexandra Wolff von Stomersee e lo scrittore siciliano Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (autore de Il Gattopardo). La vicenda si svolge nel mezzo di tragedie e rovine delle due famiglie, dovuta in gran parte alle distruzioni e trasformazioni delle due guerre mondiali con il sapore del "mondo felice perduto" evidente ne Il Gattopardo. Come il marito Giuseppe, Alexandra Tomasi di Lampedusa, soprannominata "Licy" e anche "Principissa", parlava almeno cinque lingue ed era una profonda conoscitrice di Shakespeare e della letteratura russa ed europea. Donna dalla personalit duale, fu inoltre la prima presidente della Societ italiana di Psicoanalisi e la prima donna psicoanalista in Italia e in Sicilia. Rivoluzionaria nell'intimo ma politicamente "zarista", nella sua giovinezza inizi a lavorare intensamente con i pionieri della psicoanalisi ed ebbe al contempo involontari contatti con esponenti politici che posero le basi delle teorie del nazifascismo e con emanazioni della dittatura staliniana. Sposandosi in seconde nozze con Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, dopo un martoriato matrimonio con un principe baltico dichiaratamente omosessuale, si scontr altres con un mondo profondamente diverso da quello dove era cresciuta: il mondo siciliano. In particolare si trov a fronteggiare il ristretto mondo della speciosa aristocrazia palermitana, tendente a sostenere Mussolini negli stessi anni in cui in Lettonia, dove Licy ha vissuto a lungo, le donne avevano gi ottenuto il diritto al voto. Il romanzo ha diversi piani narrativi e, oltre ai protagonisti, sono presenti altri personaggi-chiave, reali o verosimili, che ruotano intorno alla coppia cos come all'Europa del "secolo breve". A partire dalla narratrice, una "bambina eterea", ovvero una "giovane anima", che riveler solo nelle ultime righe la propria identit come un piccolo "giallo" incastonato in una storia d'avventura, di viaggi, di letteratura e di relazione culturale e psicologica tra un uomo e una donna straordinari. E che hanno fatto epoca.Gabriele Bonafede (Palermo 1965), ha ottenuto il Master in Public Policy and Planning alla facolt d'economia della Northeastern University di Boston (USA) nel 1993 e il dottorato di ricerca in pianificazione territoriale in Italia nel 1994. Nel 1996 si specializzato in Regional Studies in Developing Countries al MIT di Cambridge (USA). Poliglotta, lavora nell'ambito della cooperazione internazionale.

"A lush depiction of privilege and power, sex and stability . . . following three women in S o Paulo . . .

The Illegal Trade of Medicines on Social Media

The Illegal Trade of Medicines on Social Media

Gabriele Baratto

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2020
nidottu
This book evaluates the impact of situational crime prevention measures implemented by social media platforms to identifying, blocking, and removing content linked to illegal traded medicines. It discusses the extent of social media usage in trafficking of medicines; the ease of access; visibility of the content; language of posts; products most traded; and types of posts. Research results support the hypothesis of the limited impact of these measures, due not to a lack of effectiveness but to asymmetrical implementation. This volume will be of interest to researchers, law enforcement, policy makers, social media groups, public health practitioners.

Le sorelle dimenticate

Le sorelle dimenticate

Gabriella Bernardi

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
nidottu
Ispirato alle principali astronome menzionate nella poesia di Siv Cedering "Letter from Caroline Herschel" alle sue "sorelle perdute da tempo, dimenticate nei libri che registrano la nostra scienza", questo libro racconta la vita di venticinque scienziate, con un focus particolare su astronome e matematiche. Ogni biografia è presentata come un "fascicolo personale", che colloca la scienziata nel suo contesto storico, documenta le sue scoperte più significative, svela curiosità e raccoglie citazioni a lei dedicate. Le protagoniste sono figure emblematiche di un mondo a lungo trascurato, tra cui Ipazia di Alessandria, Ildegarda di Bingen, Elisabetta Hevelius e Maria Gaetana Agnesi. Il libro attraversa circa 4000 anni di storia, dall’antica En HeduAnna, principessa accadica e una delle prime astronome riconosciute, fino all'alba dell’astronomia moderna, con Caroline Herschel e Mary Somerville. Pensato per chiunque voglia scoprire le vicende di donne straordinarie che, dall'antichità al XIX secolo, hanno lasciato un segno indelebile nella scienza, spesso sfidando le convenzioni di un mondo dominato dagli uomini.

Tarifautonomie in Deutschland und Europa

Tarifautonomie in Deutschland und Europa

Gabriele Britz; Uwe Volkmann

Mohr Siebeck
2003
nidottu
Die Tarifautonomie als das im deutschen Verfassungsrecht von Art. 9 III GG gewährleistete Recht der Tarifparteien, die Arbeits- und Wirtschaftsbedingungen in eigener Verantwortung zu regeln, ist infolge der hohen Dauerarbeitslosigkeit und des verschärften internationalen Wettbewerbs seit geraumer Zeit einem erheblichen Veränderungsdruck ausgesetzt, der im Rahmen der EU-Erweiterung noch zunehmen wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund erörtern Gabriele Britz und Uwe Volkmann den Stellenwert, die Absicherung und Perspektiven der Tarifautonomie im deutschen Verfassungsrecht sowie im Recht der Europäischen Union und untersuchen die rechtlichen Spielräume für die von verschiedener Seite vorgeschlagenen Veränderungen im gegenwärtigen Tarifsystem. Gegenstand der Betrachtung sind sowohl die Versuche, die Befugnisse der Tarifparteien zu beschränken, als auch die dem entgegengesetzten Bemühungen um eine Effektivierung oder Stärkung der Tarifautonomie, wie sie derzeit vor allem in der Diskussion um das Tariftreuegesetz anschaulich werden. Berücksichtigt werden neben den rechtlichen jeweils auch rechtspolitische Gesichtspunkte.

Freie Entfaltung durch Selbstdarstellung

Freie Entfaltung durch Selbstdarstellung

Gabriele Britz

Mohr Siebeck
2007
nidottu
Die Existenz des allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrechts ist unbestritten, sein Inhalt wurde kasuistisch konkretisiert. Gleichwohl bleiben Herleitung und Gehalt bis heute blass. Gabriele Britz rekonstruiert und konturiert es als inneres, nicht verhaltensbezogenes Teilrecht der in Art. 2 I GG verankerten Garantie freier Persönlichkeitsentfaltung, ohne dass sie dafür des problematischen Rückgriffs auf Art. 1 I GG bedarf. Sie zeigt, dass das allgemeine Persönlichkeitsrecht im Dienste der Identitätsleistung des Individuums steht, indem es Voraussetzungen der Selbstreflexivität von Identitätszuschreibungen gewährleistet, mittels derer sich das Individuum einen eigenen Anteil am sozialen Vorgang der Konstruktion von Identität sichert. Weil es als bloßer Voraussetzungsschutz auf eine Eigenleistung des Individuums zielt, kann es freilich keinen abwehrrechtlich fassbaren, 'lächigen' Schutzbereich haben. Vielmehr ist sein Schutzgehalt von spezifischen Gefährdungslagen her zu entwickeln, in denen die Freiwilligkeit und damit das durch Art. 2 I GG geschützte 'Eigene' der Persönlichkeitsentfaltung übermäßig in Bedrängnis geraten. Weil Gefahren nicht zuletzt von gesellschaftlichen Konstruktionsvorgängen herrühren, erklärt sich so auch die hohe Privatrechtsrelevanz einiger Teilbereiche des allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrechts, insbesondere des Rechts auf Selbstdarstellung. Es schützt die Voraussetzungen der menschlichen Identitätsleistung im Verhältnis zu anderen und bietet so die Möglichkeit einer verfassungsrechtlichen Antwort auf das 'Interaktivitätsparadigma'.

Einzelfallgerechtigkeit versus Generalisierung

Einzelfallgerechtigkeit versus Generalisierung

Gabriele Britz

Mohr Siebeck
2008
nidottu
Gabriele Britz betrachtet das Verhältnis von Generalisierung und Einzelfallgerechtigkeit in diskriminierungsschutzrechtlichem Kontext neu. An Beispielen aus Kreditwirtschaft, Versicherungswirtschaft und Beschäftigung sowie an der Altersdiskriminierung systematisiert sie die potenziellen Einwände gegen statistische Diskriminierung und untersucht deren verfassungsrechtliche Berechtigung.Statistische Diskriminierung ist das Resultat einer bestimmten Form typisierender Entscheidungsfindung: Sind Eigenschaften einer Person nicht direkt erkennbar, obwohl gerade anhand dieser Eigenschaften eine Entscheidung getroffen werden soll, liegt es nahe, sich an leichter feststellbaren Personenmerkmalen zu orientieren, die mit einer statistischen Gewissheit auf die 'versteckte' Eigenschaft hinweisen. Dies ist effizient, wirft jedoch Gleichheitsprobleme auf, weil das generalisierende Vorgehen die Besonderheiten des Einzelfalls unberücksichtigt lässt.Die Autorin knüpft an die ältere (steuerrechtliche) Typisierungsdiskussion an, geht über diese jedoch hinaus, indem sie Typisierungen in den Blick nimmt, die gerade personen bezogenen Merkmalen folgen, und auch typisierende Entscheidungen Privater einbezieht. Sie stellt die Gleichheitsgrundrechte ins Zentrum ihrer verfassungsrechtlichen Überlegungen und will dabei insbesondere zur Präzisierung der Schutzziele von Diskriminierungsverboten beitragen. In praktischer Hinsicht dient ihre Untersuchung auch der verfassungsrechtlichen Konkretisierung der Ausnahmetatbestände des Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetzes.

Streiken im europäischen Grundrechtsgefüge

Streiken im europäischen Grundrechtsgefüge

Gabriele Buchholtz

Mohr Siebeck
2015
nidottu
In Europa ist eine zunehmende Pluralisierung normativer Ordnungen zu beobachten, die das Recht vor neue Herausforderungen stellt - vor allem im Bereich des Grundrechtsschutzes. Innerhalb des "Stimmengewirrs" der unterschiedlichen Spruchorgane zur Durchsetzung der jeweiligen Garantien sind die einzelnen Verfassungsstaaten bestrebt, ihre Autonomie zu wahren, können sich der zunehmenden Vernetzung aber nicht gänzlich entziehen. Auch Deutschland steht vor der Frage, ob es seine ausgefeilte Grundrechtssystematik dieser Entwicklung preisgeben will. Gabriele Buchholtz hat sich diesem Problem im Hinblick auf das "Politikum" Streik gewidmet. Welche Konsequenzen sich insoweit aus dem "europäischen Grundrechtsgefüge", vor allem aus Art. 6 Nr. 4 ESC und dessen Anwendung durch den EGMR und den EuGH ergeben, ist weitgehend unklar. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwirft Gabriele Buchholtz eine Kollisionsregel für das europäische Grundrechtsgefüge und zeigt auf, wie die pluralen Rechtsbeziehungen einem harmonischen Ausgleich zugeführt werden können.

The Unforgotten Sisters

The Unforgotten Sisters

Gabriella Bernardi

Springer International Publishing AG
2016
nidottu
Taking inspiration from Siv Cedering’s poem in the form of a fictional letter from Caroline Herschel that refers to “my long, lost sisters, forgotten in the books that record our science”, this book tells the lives of twenty-five female scientists, with specific attention to astronomers and mathematicians. Each of the presented biographies is organized as a kind of "personal file" which sets the biographee’s life in its historical context, documents her main works, highlights some curious facts, and records citations about her. The selected figures are among the most representative of this neglected world, including such luminaries as Hypatia of Alexandra, Hildegard of Bingen, Elisabetha Hevelius, and Maria Gaetana Agnesi. They span a period of about 4000 years, from En HeduAnna, the Akkadian princess, who was one of the first recognized female astronomers, to the dawn of the era of modern astronomy with Caroline Herschel and Mary Somerville. The book will be of interest to allwho wish to learn more about the women from antiquity to the nineteenth century who played such key roles in the history of astronomy and science despite living and working in largely male-dominated worlds.

Atlas of Pediatric and Youth ECG

Atlas of Pediatric and Youth ECG

Gabriele Bronzetti

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book describes in detail the specific aspects of ECG during childhood and adolescence, pursuing an accessible, didactic and easy-to-read approach. Instructive, self-contained and intelligently written, it succeeds in making this diagnostic tool, the interpretation of which is especially complex in younger patients, more comprehensible, while also offering a sound and extensive reference guide for all those who diagnose young patients with electrocardiography. Though ECG produces a relatively simple set of readings, its interpretation and diagnosis are complex. If misinterpreted, a “butterfly effect” of hidden, often neglected heart signals can lead to important and sometimes devastating consequences. Featuring an exceptionally wide range of ECG recordings and examples, the volume sheds new light on the importance of electrophysiological examinations for patients still in their developmental years and provides advice on the use of ECG in connection with recent regulations on the participation of children, adolescents and young athletes in sports.Thanks to the variety of scenarios described, from the most frequent to the most insidious, this work will appeal to a broad readership, from cardiologists and pediatricians to family physicians, anesthesiologists, doctors in sports medicine, students and nurses.

Giovanni Domenico Cassini

Giovanni Domenico Cassini

Gabriella Bernardi

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book offers a fascinating account of the life and scientific achievements of Giovanni Domenico Cassini, or Cassini I, the most famous astronomer of his time, who is remembered today especially for his observations of the rings and satellites of Saturn and his earlier construction of the great meridian line in the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna. The various stages of his life are recounted in an engaging style, from his early childhood in Perinaldo and his time at the famous Jesuit College in Genoa, to his later experiences in Bologna and Paris. The emphasis, however, is on the scientific side of his life. The book explores his impressive body of work in diverse fields while also drawing attention to the international character of his endeavors, the rigor of his research, and his outstanding management skills, which combined to make him an early embodiment of the “European scientist.” It was also these abilities that gained him the attention of the most powerful king in Europe, Louis XIV of France (the “Sun King”), under the auspices of whom he set up the Paris Observatory in 1671. He would go on to serve as Director of the Observatory, where he would make the majority of his scientific discoveries, for the rest of his life.
