Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the user is not a well-established sociological concept even though the user is omnipresent in our culture as someone who uses a device, a machine, the internet or a public service. Due to the close relationship between man and technology user studies have become very important. The papers assembled in this volume were presented at the Vth International Conference on «The Culture of the Artificial» - The User of the Artificial (Ascona Switzerland, Monte Verità, 23-25 April 2004). They deal with various aspects of the figure of the user.

It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity.

Download or read book The Ecological City and the City Effect written by Franco Archibugi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume responds to the increasingly urgent issue of degradation of the urban environment. It moves beyond the indirect environmentalism up until the 1990s, examining urban degradation and how urban planning can be directly applied to the concept of an ecological city. Particular focus is given to the Italian government’s ‘Urban Environment Programme’, a 10 year plan for the environment. Archibugi’s study forms part of an international monograph publishing series covering new research into the ‘green’ issues such as government, corporate and public responses to environmental hazards, the economics of green policies and the effectiveness of environmental protection programmes.
Download or read book Rome written by Franco Archibugi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome: A New Planning Strategy looks at the problems of a city over the last century and suggests a totally new planning strategy. The book examines the stages that have marked the increase of population and change in land use and analyses the masterplans used to try and control these evolving conditions. Using Rome as an extended case study, the book deals with the socio-economic effect of an absence of planning strategy during the recent growth of the city. The author presents the characters and features of a new masterplan based on his many years of experience in theoretical and practical planning.
Download or read book Chemical agriculture and pollinators signs of a Planet in danger written by Giuseppe Zicari and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bees, that have inhabited the Planet for over 100 million years, are the common thread that tells the story of various ecological challenges such as the reduction of biodiversity, climate change, soil degradation, and energy transition. Paradoxically, agriculture is one of the major causes of irreversible and, therefore, unsustainable changes such as global warming and the extinction of pollinators from which it derives its benefits and wealth. The massive use of fossil fuels, the distribution of poisons such as pesticides (persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative), the loss of fertility in monocultures of plants selected to satisfy economic needs, are some of the main causes of an ecologically unsustainable food production system. The book tries to show a different vision of the World we are building, a story of backstories and underestimated dangers. This book received two prizes: "Steli di Pace" (Stems of Peace) by the Union of European Journalists and Communicators in 2023 and it was the winner of the "Concorso Nazionale per la divulgazione scientifica Kerit-LC Edizioni" (National Competition for science dissemination) in 2024.

Download or read book Geographies of Mediterranean Europe written by Rubén Camilo Lois-González and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume highlights the geographies of six European Mediterranean countries: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Greece. The book provides a balanced overview on what the geographers of these six countries have investigated and reflected in recent decades. This thematically arranged book takes into account the national differences of the authors, but also highlights the main contributions of Mediterranean geographies on a global scale. It reinforces a perception of common problems and debates in Southern Europe. This book appeals to the institutionalized geographical community of Mediterranean countries but also to a global audience of scholars of geography, territorial and spatial studies, social sciences and history.

Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi sul pensiero bioetico di Silvana Castignone, professoressa emerita di Filosofia del diritto nell’Università di Genova. In particolare, i capitoli sono opera di autrici e autori che, pur avendo poi intrapreso percorsi accademici e professionali diversi, hanno iniziato la loro attività di ricerca nella sezione di Filosofia e Sociologia del diritto del (già) “Dipartimento Giovanni Tarello” (ora “Istituto Tarello per la Filosofia del diritto”), e lì hanno avuto modo di confrontarsi più da vicino con i lavori di Silvana Castignone. Il volume si articola in due sezioni, entrambe dedicate alla discussione di questioni al centro dell’interesse bioetico di Castignone: nella prima parte l’attenzione è rivolta ai suoi importanti e innovativi studi sull’etica ambientale e sui diritti degli animali, mentre nella seconda il dialogo è con temi, come il c.d. welfare genetico, l’ecofemminismo, il multiculturalismo e l’etica della cura, di grande rilevanza nel dibattito filosofico contemporaneo.
