Da che detenevamo un primato nel mondo nel campo del nucleare, siamo diventati ultimi, per incapacità politica, paure esagerate, interessi occulti e ipocrisie ambientali». Compriamo energia nucleare fatta a pochi chilometri dal confine anziché produrla noi. Confondiamo tossicità con radioattività, i rischi di una centrale atomica con quelli di una bomba atomica. Crediamo che i rifiuti e le scorie siano due cose diverse (gli uni non pericolosi, le altre sì), che la ricerca sia sempre ferma ai tempi di Černobyl, che la scelta di chiudere i nostri impianti sia stata dettata dalla volontà popolare e non dalla corsa agli idrocarburi. In tutto il mondo si continuano ad aprire centrali nucleari, si costruiscono nuovi reattori, si progettano strutture di sicurezza a prova di errori umani o catastrofi naturali: al contrario, l’Italia, che era la terza potenza nucleare del pianeta, ha fermato tutto e ha cominciato a comprare da altri l’energia necessaria. Solo una percentuale minima del suo fabbisogno è coperta dalle fonti rinnovabili, per il resto il gas viene dalla Russia, il petrolio dagli arabi, il nucleare dai francesi e dagli svizzeri. L’aumento dei prezzi del gas e la guerra ci obbligano a rivedere il nostro mix energetico e i pregiudizi sul nucleare. E anche a batterci perché questa fonte, priva di emissioni nocive, inserita nella tassonomia europea, sia utilizzata per i finanziamenti sostenibili: il fabbisogno di energia del pianeta non va soddisfatto a scapito dell’ambiente, né della ricchezza energetica.

Download or read book L ambientalista nucleare written by Juan José Gomez Cadenas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Che cosa emette più radioattività nell'atmosfera: una centrale nucleare o una centrale termica? Una centrale termica. Che cosa comporta maggior rischio: vivere nei pressi di una centrale nucleare o fumare una sigaretta? Fumare una sola sigaretta equivale al rischio di vivere due anni vicino a una centrale nucleare. Che cosa si fa in un'ora di punta di richiesta energetica se non soffia il vento? Si ricorre a impianti di pompaggio o centrali a gas di riserva. L'energia elettrica non può essere immagazzinata. Quanti aerogeneratori servono per sostituire una centrale nucleare? Circa duemila, dell'ultima generazione. Separati tra di loro dei cinquecento metri necessari perché siano efficienti, la fila dei mulini si estenderebbe da Barcellona a Ginevra, attraversando l'intera Francia. È un errore contrapporre tra loro le energie alternative, sarebbe molto più sensato considerarle alleate nella grande battaglia contro un Signore Oscuro ogni giorno più potente: il cambiamento climatico, che potrebbe benissimo annientare, nel giro di uno o due secoli, la nostra cara e malconcia regione globalizzata.

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.
Download or read book Behind the Door written by Giorgio Bassani and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of Bassani's moving novel of childhood friendship and the unexpected loss of innocence The years lived since then have not, in the end, been of any use: I haven't managed to remedy the suffering which has remained there like a hidden wound, secretly bleeding. In the fourth book of the Romanzo di Ferrara cycle, Bassani paints a moving portrait of a 1930s childhood in which even the familiar classroom and playground dramas begin to reflect the sinister forces at work in fascist Italy. This powerful tale of friendship and rivalry in the face of the ever encroaching spectre of adulthood adds yet another intricate thread to Bassani's rich tapestry of his native city, Ferrara.

Download or read book Italian Psychology and Jewish Emigration under Fascism written by Patrizia Guarnieri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascism and the racial laws of 1938 dramatically changed the scientific research and the academic community. Guarnieri focuses on psychology, from its promising origins to the end of the WWII. Psychology was marginalized in Italy both by the neo-idealistic reaction against science, and fascism (unlike Nazism) with long- lasting consequences. Academics and young scholars were persecuted because they were antifascist or Jews and the story of Italian displaced scholars is still an embarrassing one. The book follows scholars who emigrated to the United States, such as psychologist Renata Calabresi, and to Palestine, such as Enzo Bonaventura. Guarnieri traces their journey and the help they received from antifascist and Zionist networks and by international organizations. Some succeeded, some did not, and very few went back.
Download or read book The Smell of Hay written by Giorgio Bassani and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of Giorgio Bassani's haunting collection of short stories that evoke 1930s Ferrara, with an introduction by Ali Smith. Isolated lives and a lost world are evoked in these memorable stories set in the Jewish-Italian community of 1930s Ferrara. A young man's unrequited love; a strange disappearance; a faded hotel; a lonely funfair; the smell of mown hay at the gates of the Jewish Cemetery - these vivid, impressionistic snapshots build a picture of life's brevity and intensity. Part of the sequence including The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and featuring people and places from these novels, The Smell of Hay is told with a voice that is by turns intimate, ironic, elegiac and rueful. This new translation contains two pieces, added by Bassani to his earlier collection, which have never appeared in English before. 'Powerful new translations . . . Bassani began as a poet, and McKendrick's redelivery of this taut uncompromising fiction reveals resonance and generosity' Ali Smith 'Giorgio Bassani is one of the great witnesses of this century, and one of its great artists' Guardian Giorgio Bassani (1916-2000) was an Italian poet, novelist and editor. The Smell of Hay is the last in a series of six works collected together as Il romanzo di Ferrara. Other works in the cycle include The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, which received the Viareggio Prize and inspired an Academy Award-winning film adaptation by Vittorio de Sica, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles, and Within the Walls (originally published as Five Stories of Ferrara), which won the Strega Prize. Jamie McKendrick is a poet and translator. His translations of Bassani's The Garden of the Finzi-Continis and The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles are already available as Penguin Modern Classics, and he is in the process of translating the rest of the Romanzo di Ferrara cycle anew.

Download or read book Plant Genetic Conservation written by Nigel Maxted and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.

Download or read book German Social Democracy 1905 1917 written by Carl E. Schorske and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1955 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No political parties of present-day Germany are separated by a wider gulf than the two parties of labor, one democratic and reformist, the other totalitarian and socialist-revolutionary. Social Democrats and Communists today face each other as bitter political enemies across the front lines of the Cold War; yet they share a common origin in the Social Democratic Party of Imperial Germany. How did they come to go separate ways? By what process did the old party break apart? How did the prewar party prepare the ground for the dissolution of the labor movement in World War I, and for the subsequent extension of Leninism into Germany? To answer these questions is the purpose of Carl Schorske's study.
