Download or read book The Floating World written by C. Morgan Babst and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Set in New Orleans, this important and powerful novel follows the Boisdoré family . . . in the months after Katrina. A profound, moving and authentically detailed picture of the storm’s emotional impact on those who lived through it.” —People In this dazzling debut about family, home, and grief, C. Morgan Babst takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city. As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic—the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself. This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed. The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told—one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Paterno was seven when he left Castelmezzano, a small mountain town in Basilicata to set sail on one of the rattletrap ships headed to America. Thirty years later he was one of the top builders in New York City, among the first to construct the skyscrapers that would form the world's most famous skyline. Intelligence, brilliance, intuition and an ability to stay ahed of the times made him a leading figure in the life of Manhattan. He created garden communities, focused on new technologies and turned to the best architects. Paterno didn't just want to offer houses, but new lifestyles to tens of thousands of people. His first American dream looked like a white castle at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where he lived for years with his wife and son, sorrounded by a small but very loyal retinue. A friend of Giuseppe Prezzolini, he donated a library of 20.000 books, the Paterno Library, to the Casa Italiana at Columbia University. Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian-American mayor of New York City, called him a genius. Born into poverty, Paterno died a wealthy man on the green of the most exclusive country club in Westchester.

Download or read book Ren Girard s Mimetic Theory written by Wolfgang Palaver and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic introduction into the mimetic theory of the French-American literary theorist and philosophical anthropologist René Girard, this essential text explains its three main pillars (mimetic desire, the scapegoat mechanism, and the Biblical “difference”) with the help of examples from literature and philosophy. This book also offers an overview of René Girard’s life and work, showing how much mimetic theory results from existential and spiritual insights into one’s own mimetic entanglements. Furthermore it examines the broader implications of Girard’s theories, from the mimetic aspect of sovereignty and wars to the relationship between the scapegoat mechanism and the question of capital punishment. Mimetic theory is placed within the context of current cultural and political debates like the relationship between religion and modernity, terrorism, the death penalty, and gender issues. Drawing textual examples from European literature (Cervantes, Shakespeare, Goethe, Kleist, Stendhal, Storm, Flaubert, Dostoevsky, Proust) and philosophy (Plato, Camus, Sartre, Lévi-Strauss, Derrida, Vattimo), Palaver uses mimetic theory to explore the themes they present. A highly accessible book, this text is complemented by bibliographical references to Girard’s widespread work and secondary literature on mimetic theory and its applications, comprising a valuable bibliographical archive that provides the reader with an overview of the development and discussion of mimetic theory until the present day.

Download or read book The Spirit of the Liturgy written by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Softcover Edition with Index! Considered by Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the Liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help readers rediscover the Liturgy in all its hidden spiritual wealth and transcendent grandeur as the very center of our Christian life. Among the many liturgical issues that he covers in this work, Cardinal Ratzinger discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially the orientation of prayer at the Eucharistic sacrifice, the placement of the tabernacle, and the posture of kneeling. Other important topics he discusses include the following: the essence of worship; Jewish roots and new elements of the Christian Liturgy; the historic and cosmic dimensions of the Liturgy; the relationship of the Liturgy to time and space; art, music, and the Liturgy; active participation of all the faithful; gestures, posture, and vestments. "My purpose here is to assist this renewal of understanding of the Liturgy. Its basic intentions coincide with what Guardini wanted to achieve. The only difference is that I have had to translate what Guardini did at the end of the First World War, in a totally different historical situation, into the context of our present-day questions, hopes, and dangers. Like Guardini, I am not attempting to involve myself with scholarly discussion and research. I am simply offering an aid to the understanding of the faith and to the right way to give the faith its central form of expression in the Liturgy." - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, from the preface

Download or read book Epistemology and Methodology of Comparative Law written by Mark Van Hoecke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas many modern works on comparative law focus on various aspects of legal doctrine the aim of this book is of a more theoretical kind - to reflect on comparative law as a scholarly discipline, in particular at its epistemology and methodology. Thus, among its contents the reader will find: a lively discussion of the kind of 'knowledge' that is, or could be, derived from comparative law; an analysis of 'legal families' which asks whether we need to distinguish different 'legal families' according to areas of law; essays which ask what is the appropriate level for research to be conducted - the technical 'surface level', a 'deep level' of ideology and legal practice, or an 'intermediate level' of other elements of legal culture, such as the socio-economic and historical background of law. One part of the book is devoted to questioning the identification and demarcation of a 'legal system' (and the clash between 'legal monism' and 'legal pluralism') and the definition of the European legal orders, sub-State legal orders, and what is left of traditional sovereign State legal systems; while a final part explores the desirability and possibility of developing a basic common legal language, with common legal principles and legal concepts and/or a legal meta-language, which would be developed and used within emerging European legal doctrine. All the papers in this collection share the common goal of seeking answers to fundamental, scientific problems of comparative research that are too often neglected in comparative scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con D.Lgs n. 36/2023 è stato approvato il nuovo Codice dei Contratti Pubblici, in attuazione del PNRR e delle stringenti scadenze imposte per la sua attuazione scadenze. Tante le novità di interesse a partire dalla codificazione dei nuovi principi del sistema appalti. Tre i fondamentali: risultato, fiducia ed accesso al mercato. La Digitalizzazione diventa il cuore delle procedure d’appalto: Banca Dati Nazionale, Fascicolo Virtuale e Piattaforma Digitale gli istituti centrali. Salgono le soglie per gli affidamenti diretti, entra il subappalto a cascata e ritorna l’appalto integrato. La progettazione viene semplificata e ridotta per i lavori a soli due livelli: progetto di fattibilità e progetto esecutivo. Tra nuovo e vecchio Codice è stato però introdotto un periodo transitorio che terminerà a gennaio 2024. Nel frattempo con D.L. del 29 maggio è già stato approvato il primo correttivo al Codice, mentre il Decreto Alluvioni di qualche giorno prima ha anticipato l’entrata in vigore dell’art. 140 per gli interventi di protezione civile. Il commentario ragionato, con il contributo di molti autori, intende fornire articolo per articolo una prima lettura del Nuovo Codice con un raffronto con il Codice del 2016, una attenzione particolare alla fase transitoria ed alle problematiche applicative che vengono illustrate istituto per istituto con apposite FAQ.

Download or read book Studies in Legal Systems Mixed and Mixing written by Esin Orucu and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-02-13 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All legal systems are mixed: some more than others. There are covert mixtures and overt mixtures; stable mixtures and mixtures in transition. This book brings together a wide range of legal orders, some well known, some not so often studied. The analysis offered is far beyond a descriptive one, the general aim being to provide a basis for discussion by covering paths, methods and specific techniques, consequences and implications of legal migration. The newly emerging democracies of Eastern Europe, for example, are looking at the pool of models when re-designing their systems. Such systems in transition open up a whole new world of possibilities for research. The two final chapters on spectral jurisprudence and the conceptual search bring into focus and widen the analysis further.

Download or read book Il nuovo codice dei contratti pubblici 2023 written by Michele Cozzio and published by Key Editore. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il nuovo Codice dei contratti pubblici - adottato con Decreto Legislativo 31 marzo 2023 n. 36 - si basa sulla riforma attuata dal Legislatore nel rispetto degli obiettivi fissati dal Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza. L’apporto della Commissione presieduta da Franco Frattini e composta da magistrati del Consiglio di Stato, dei T.A.R., della Cassazione, della Corte dei Conti, da Avvocati dello Stato, da professori, avvocati, economisti, ingegneri, informatici, linguisti ha permesso al Legislatore di approvare in tempi rapidi un testo normativo che si presenta nuovo non solo sul piano dei contenuti e della loro formulazione ma anche sul piano dell’impostazione. Molte soluzioni nel Codice perseguono esigenze di semplificazione, celerità e innovazione del funzionamento dei contratti pubblici, altre sono dirette al rafforzamento della trasparenza, della qualità, del monitoraggio e della rendicontazione. Il bilanciamento operato appare positivo, altrettanto positivo è lo slancio prospettico che ispira molte soluzioni soprattutto in tema di digitalizzazione del ciclo di vita dei contratti pubblici. Questa prima edizione del nuovo Codice vuole essere uno strumento a supporto di funzionari e operatori in un mercato di straordinaria rilevanza per lo sviluppo e la crescita del Paese. La lettura della normativa è facilitata dal formato testuale e dalla puntuale segnalazione - articolo per articolo - delle tempistiche di entrata in vigore e di efficacia delle nuove norme, elemento indispensabile per la conoscenza della disciplina applicabile. Il testo è integrato dalla pubblicazione integrale delle direttive dell’UE del 2014 in materia di appalti pubblici e concessioni, da un completo indice analitico-alfabetico e da tavole di corrispondenza con i riferimenti delle norme dell’Unione europea e del Codice previgente. Aggiornato e coordinato al D.L. 29 maggio 2023 n. 57 («Misure urgenti PNRR») corredato dalle disposizioni della Dir. 2014/23/UE concessioni della Dir. 2014/24/UE appalti pubblici della Dir. 2014/25/UE settori speciali annotato con i riferimenti di entrata in vigore ed efficacia delle norme integrato da tavole di corrispondenza completo di indice analitico-alfabetico

Book excerpt: Con il presente lavoro si intende fornire uno strumento operativo, utile agli Uffici Gare & Appalti degli Operatori Economici e delle Stazioni Appaltanti, con l’obiettivo di agevolare l’approfondimento e l’applicazione della nuova disciplina degli appalti pubblici introdotta con il D. Lgs. 36/2023 ("Codice dei Contratti Pubblici"), in vigore dal 1° aprile 2023, ma efficace dal 1° luglio 2023 (fanno eccezione le disposizioni sulla “pubblicità” e sulla “digitalizzazione”, la cui efficacia è rinviata al 1° dicembre 2024). Ogni articolo del presente testo è stato annotato con una sintesi della RELAZIONE accompagnatoria, elaborata dalla Commissione speciale del Consiglio di Stato, tratta dal Dossier ufficiale del Centro Studi del Senato, che ha commentato il testo durante la fase di approvazione dello schema da parte delle Commissioni Parlamentari.

Abbiamo completato l’esame di molti articoli con una sintesi delle principali NOVITÀ e un focus contenente alcuni CONSIGLI UTILI, di carattere estremamente operativo, distinti per Operatori (OE) e per Stazioni Appaltanti (SA). Nelle ultime pagine abbiamo inserito una innovativa TABELLA DI CONFRONTO, sia in relazione alle norme “interne” al codice, indicando gli articoli applicabili ai Settori Speciali e alle Concessioni, sia rispetto a norme “esterne”, indicando i corrispondenti articoli del “vecchio” Codice (D. Lgs. 50/2016) e quelli destinati ad operare per gli appalti finanziati del PNRR e PNC, oltre alla data di efficacia di ogni articolo.

Download or read book The Codification of Criminal Law written by Michael Bohlander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes to the codification debate by bringing together research articles which compare and contrast the experience of countries which have a criminal code with those operating a case law system. Whereas wholesale codification is a much more accepted phenomenon in the continental law traditions, simplistic transplants from one legal tradition can result in systemic frictions and other anomalies which may offend domestic culture. This collection is an invaluable reference tool which supports the discussion over codification and promotes better understanding across the common law/civil law divide.
