Book excerpt: "Nato nel '43" raccoglie gradevoli poesie dense di profondo significato personale e del genere soprattutto amarcord, ma non solo, che Pietro Gennaro ha prodotto in contemporaneo sviluppo del suo primo libro autobiografico di recente pubblicazione "Un Pioniere a Rosolini" che è stato indicato quale esempio da seguire dai giovani d'oggi. In questo libro di poesie il nostro versatile Autore spazia dalle vicende personali ai momenti storici vissuti, dalle leggende paesane, ai ricordi di una guerra ormai lontana e anche a situazioni di particolare interesse perché antiche eppure nuove... tutto ciò soffuso di un velo di nostalgia e affetto che Pietro ha saputo esternare e infondere nelle sue parole. Ma l'Autore saprà stupirci ancora in un nuovo genere letterario da lui affrontato col produrre, inoltre, un romanzo "giallo" poliziesco dal titolo "Un messaggio nella notte", oltre a un saggio tecnico-professionale intitolato "Biografia d'Impresa".

Book excerpt: Questo libro giallo nasce da un messaggino inviato nella notte a un amico con richiesta d'aiuto: un cadavere è stato trovato in casa legato a una sedia. L'amico accorre ma serve la Polizia. E nell'intreccio della vicenda si muovono Poliziotti, Investigatori privati, balordi individui, pistole nascoste, gioielli rubati e trafficanti stranieri... in un miscuglio che va seguito con attenzione per non perdere il filo che porterà alla soluzione.
Download or read book Gravity a Geometrical Course written by Pietro Giuseppe Frè and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Gravity, a Geometrical Course’ presents general relativity (GR) in a systematic and exhaustive way, covering three aspects that are homogenized into a single texture: i) the mathematical, geometrical foundations, exposed in a self consistent contemporary formalism, ii) the main physical, astrophysical and cosmological applications, updated to the issues of contemporary research and observations, with glimpses on supergravity and superstring theory, iii) the historical development of scientific ideas underlying both the birth of general relativity and its subsequent evolution. The book is divided in two volumes. Volume Two is covers black holes, cosmology and an introduction to supergravity. The aim of this volume is two-fold. It completes the presentation of GR and it introduces the reader to theory of gravitation beyond GR, which is supergravity. Starting with a short history of the black hole concept, the book covers the Kruskal extension of the Schwarzschild metric, the causal structures of Lorentzian manifolds, Penrose diagrams and a detailed analysis of the Kerr-Newman metric. An extensive historical account of the development of modern cosmology is followed by a detailed presentation of its mathematical structure, including non-isotropic cosmologies and billiards, de Sitter space and inflationary scenarios, perturbation theory and anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The last three chapters deal with the mathematical and conceptual foundations of supergravity in the frame of free differential algebras. Branes are presented both as classical solutions of the bulk theory and as world-volume gauge theories with particular emphasis on the geometrical interpretation of kappa-supersymmetry. The rich bestiary of special geometries underlying supergravity lagrangians is presented, followed by a chapter providing glances on the equally rich collection of special solutions of supergravity. Pietro Frè is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Torino, Italy and is currently serving as Scientific Counsellor of the Italian Embassy in Moscow. His scientific passion lies in supergravity and all allied topics, since the inception of the field, in 1976. He was professor at SISSA, worked in the USA and at CERN. He has taught General Relativity for 15 years. He has previously two scientific monographs, “Supergravity and Superstrings” and “The N=2 Wonderland”, He is also the author of a popular science book on cosmology and two novels, in Italian.
Download or read book NATO and Weapons of Mass Destruction written by Eric Terzuolo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO was hugely successful in facing off the Soviet Union during the Cold War. But has it been equally successful in addressing the "new threats" of the post-Cold War era? This new study assesses the organization’s political and military initiatives, and how its outreach to Russia, Ukraine, and other countries in the Euro-Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, devoted considerable attention to WMD proliferation risks. It also probes the political factors, both inside and outside NATO, as well as resource constraints, which have limited the alliance's "added value" in the international community's effort to combat proliferation. The events of 11 September 2001 and bitter intra-alliance controversy over the 2003 Iraq intervention have highlighted questions regarding NATO's future role, and even its continued viability. This is a serious reflection on how the alliance should figure in the fight against WMD and terrorist threats and an examination of today’s key issues, including the use of force in international relations and the possibility of constructing new, post-Cold War collective security rules. This is the first study to evaluate, critically and in-depth, how a long-standing security organization has adapted - and must continue to adapt - to the global security challenges of our time. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international politics, military history and all readers interested in the future of NATO and international security.

This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 1178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Italiano]: In un momento così significativo per la storia europea e mondiale, questo volume vuole essere la raccolta di riflessioni scientifiche condotte sui rapporti tra le scelte politiche, le azioni militari e la fisionomia delle città e del paesaggio urbano, sull’evoluzione delle strutture e delle tecniche di difesa, sulla rappresentazione della guerra e dei suoi effetti sull’immagine urbana, sul recupero delle tracce della memoria cittadina. Da una parte il campo delle Digital Humanities apre nuove prospettive per studiare l'immagine della città prima, durante e dopo la guerra, dall’altro le tecnologie digitali impegnano studiosi e ricercatori di varie discipline: in particolare nell’ambito del disegno viene esplorato il ruolo della rappresentazione nella formulazione dei progetti urbani di difesa e nella documentazione degli eventi bellici e delle tracce lasciate dai conflitti, mentre nell’ambito del restauro vengono approfondite le sfide teoriche e pratiche imposte dai danni arrecati dai conflitti ai centri storici, passando in rassegna casi studio, soluzioni e dibattiti relativi alla conservazione del patrimonio urbano coinvolto in azioni di guerra, con un'attenzione particolare all'identità e alla memoria collettiva./[English]: At such a significant moment in European and world history, this volume aims to be a collection of scientific reflections about the relationships between political choices, military actions and the physiognomy of cities and the urban landscape, about the evolution of defence structures and techniques, about the representation of war and its effects on the urban image, and about the recovery of the traces of city memory. On the one hand the field of Digital Humanities opens up new perspectives to study the image of the city before, during and after the war, on the other hand digital technologies engage academics and researchers from various disciplines: In particular, in the area of drawing, the role of representation in the formulation of urban defence projects and in the documentation of wartime events and the traces left behind by conflicts is explored, while in the area of conservation, the theoretical and practical challenges imposed by the damage caused by conflicts to historic centres are explored, reviewing case studies, solutions and debates relating to the conservation of urban heritage involved in wartime actions, with a focus on identity and collective memory.

Download or read book The Signal Corps written by George Raynor Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface: With this volume, third and last in the Signal Corps subseries, the authors close the book on the history of the Corps in World War II. They close it to the extent that they hereby complete the account as published in the UNITED STATES ARMY IN WORLD WAR II histories. But they hope that this volume, subtitled The Outcome, together with its predecessors, The Emergency, to Pearl Harbor Day, and The Test, to mid-1943, may open up to the military specialist, and to the general reader as well, new vistas of significance in the immense and complex scene of signal communications and electronics in World War II. The Signal Corps: The Outcome, continuing the chronological treatment generally followed throughout this subseries, depicts the entire activity of the Corps at home and overseas to V-J Day. The volume is in all respects a sequel to The Signal Corps: The Test, wherein the authors had carried the story to mid-1943. At that point in time, the Signal Corps' struggle to obtain better control over communications throughout the Army had reached a crisis in the Washington headquarters. Or rather the Corps was just subsiding, not altogether happily, from that crisis, by 1 July 1943. In the field, in North Africa, the Signal Corps had just passed its first great combat test of the war.
Download or read book NATO s Secret Armies written by Daniele Ganser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating new study shows how the CIA and the British secret service, in collaboration with the military alliance NATO and European military secret services, set up a network of clandestine anti-communist armies in Western Europe after World War II. These secret soldiers were trained on remote islands in the Mediterranean and in unorthodox warfare centres in England and in the United States by the Green Berets and SAS Special Forces. The network was armed with explosives, machine guns and high-tech communication equipment hidden in underground bunkers and secret arms caches in forests and mountain meadows. In some countries the secret army linked up with right-wing terrorist who in a secret war engaged in political manipulation, harrassement of left wing parties, massacres, coup d'états and torture. Codenamed 'Gladio' ('the sword'), the Italian secret army was exposed in 1990 by Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti to the Italian Senate, whereupon the press spoke of "The best kept, and most damaging, political-military secret since World War II" (Observer, 18. November 1990) and observed that "The story seems straight from the pages of a political thriller." (The Times, November 19, 1990). Ever since, so-called 'stay-behind' armies of NATO have also been discovered in France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and Turkey. They were internationally coordinated by the Pentagon and NATO and had their last known meeting in the NATO-linked Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC) in Brussels in October 1990.
