Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quando abbiamo scritto la storia di Artan avevamo in mente una situazione ed un momento storico particolari: l'America del nord colonizzata dagli inglesi e gli indiani che si ritrovano il loro territorio invaso da stranieri più forti e senza onore. Volevamo ricreare una situazione analoga dove però gli indiani, oltre a ribellarsi, riescono a trovare il modo di controbattere il nemico invasore. Da qui siamo partiti per creare Artan. La storia è ambientata in un lontano futuro (o lontano passato), su di un sistema solare attorno a cui ruotano due pianeti abitabili: Artan e Barsec. Barsec, patria dei barsechiani, si trova su di un'orbita più esterna rispetto ad Artan. Su Artan invece vivono due civiltà agli antipodi: gli artakiani - un popolo alto e forte, che da tempo vive su questo pianeta con umiltà, rispettando ciò che lo circonda - e gli artaniani, coloni barsechiani insediatisi sul pianeta circa 500 anni prima. La storia però è incentrata su Ellah, ragazza barsechiana che arriva su Artan per lavorare, e sui suoi amici, Barke (il suo tutore), Jarik (un ragazzo che arriverà a volerle molto bene), Leika (la donna che Barke ama), Tlok e sua moglie Tillia (due artakiani che appoggeranno la causa di Ellah). Tutti insieme vivranno le incredibili avventure che si presenteranno nel prossimo futuro, futuro che metterà in gioco la stabilità del pianeta Artan e dei suoi abitanti. Nel prosieguo della storia impareremo a conoscere non solo i personaggi ma anche il mondo in cui vivono e che li plasma. Artan non è solo un fumetto di fantascienza, e non è neanche solo un fantasy. La sua storia non vuole raccontare di buchi neri o di maghi e di orchi. Noi crediamo di aver disegnato un fumetto che, al di là degli scenari, è incentrato sull'amicizia, sull'amore e sui valori umani (o artaniani, per meglio dire), perché in fondo è questo l'essenziale della vita. La tecnologia è quasi un'aggiunta fastidiosa che pian piano si eliminerà, lasciando un mondo in cui solo i principi di lealtà e di forza d'animo hanno senso. Per questo anche le armi si trasformano e diventano primitive e meno letali, ma legate a chi le usa con coraggio e con scopo nobile. Non abbiamo voluto inserire cattivi o buoni, eroi e malvagi, ma solo persone che a seconda delle situazioni possono cambiare ed adattarsi. Come in molte altre cose nella vita, il confine fra male e bene, fra giusto e sbagliato alle volte diventa sottile e facilmente percorribile in entrambi i sensi. Con il tempo su Artan arriveranno a contare solo gli scopi e i valori interpersonali, che spingeranno un piccolo gruppo di persone a cambiare il futuro di un pianeta e di tre popoli. Questo mondo ci ha appassionati e speriamo di potervi trasmettere le stesse emozioni che ci ha suscitato realizzandolo. Gianfranco & Stefano

Book excerpt: The twenty-two papers contained in this volume have been selected from the Proceedings of the 2nd COSPAR Colloquium. The exploration of planet Mars will be the focal point of the planetary missions in the coming years, so the investigation of the surface and the upper layers of the soil is of primary importance. The major space agencies are actively working to understand the environmental and technical requirements of the planned missions and experiments and it is predicted that the planet will be host to both ground based and atmospheric investigations in the near future.

Download or read book The Coal Handbook Towards Cleaner Production written by Dave Osborne and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal is an important fossil fuel resource for many nations due to its large remaining resources, relatively low production and processing cost and potential high energy intensity. Certain issues surround its utilisation, however, including emissions of pollutants and growing concern about climate change. The coal handbook: Towards cleaner production Volume 1 reviews the coal production supply chain from analysis to extraction and distribution.Part one explores coal characterisation and introduces the industrial use of coal as well as coal formation, petrography, reserves, sampling and analysis. Part two moves on to review coal extraction and preparation. Chapters highlight advances in coal mining technology, underground coal gas extraction, coal sizing, comminution and cleaning, and solid-liquid separation technologies for coal. Further chapters focus on economic factors affecting coal preparation, post-treatment of coal, coal tailings treatment, and the optimisation, simulation and control of coal preparation plants. Finally, part three considers aspects of the coal supply chain including the management approach and individual functions such as coal blending and homogenisation, transportation and handling along the entire supply chain.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, The coal handbook Volumes 1 and 2 is a comprehensive and invaluable resource for professionals in the coal mining, preparation, and utilisation industry, those in the power sector, including plant operators and engineers, and researchers and academics interested in this field. - Reviews the coal production supply chain from analysis to extraction and distribution - Explores coal characterisation, formation, petrography, reserves, sampling and analysis - Examines coal extraction and preparation and highlights advances in coal mining technology, underground coal gas extraction, coal sizing, comminution and cleaning, and solid-liquid separation technologies

Deep into month three he started to look like an armpit with eyeballs.It was a sultry August night in Old Town Scottsdale as Bimisi and Sumguyen made their way from one bar to another. They took pause to to enjoy the rhythms of a homeless crooner who was soulfully picking his guitar. When Sumguyen threw a five into his tip jar the artist looked up, thanked him with a nod and said, "That is a beautiful beard. My friend Brenda has a beard just like that, but hers doesn't talk."A fair amount of beer sprayed from Bimisi's nose...and just like that they had their subject matter for the final book of season one.

Download or read book Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema written by Prof. Deborah A. Starr and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. In this book, Deborah A. Starr recuperates the work of Togo Mizrahi, a pioneer of Egyptian cinema. Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi’s work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful—and queer—use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi’s films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi’s contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema.
