The smouldering nations, the toxic earth. The pitch darkness of man-engendered night. Le nazioni fumiganti, la terra tossica, la fitta oscurità della notte generata dall'uomo.

"The dust of the republics-Polvere delle repubbliche di Kevin Wren è pometto pervaso da un forte epos e da una stretta interconnessione tra bios e politica, tra biografia e storia. Le storie personali e la Storia collettiva, la pochezza dell'umano e l'altezza di un dio non riconosciuto ma presente, si mescolano in un flusso sintagmatico immerso in potenza metaforica. Wren raccoglie l'eredità poundiana, rielaborandola, in una sorta di flusso di coscienza versificato che polverizza lo stato temporale per giungere alla luce che filtra dalle macerie della storia e del linguaggio."

Extending the scholarship in the first two volumes this text offers further rich examples of communication scholars using their theories, methods, pedogogies and other practices with those who are marginalized and oppressed to promote social justice. Going beyond traditional research that describes, interprets, sometimes critiques and occasionally offers recommendations, these scholars studied communication interventions that they conducted to do something about a variety of important social issues. This exemplalry set of studies demonstrates how communication activism for social justice scholarship transforms researchers from being spectators who stand outside the stream of human activity to scholar-activists who actively work with diverse groups to confront the significant social justice issues characterizing contemporary life

The focus of this text is to teach and illustrate the fundamentals of microeconomics as it relates to the administration and enforcement of antitrust laws both domestically and internationally. The chapters instruct as to the fundamentaleconomic constructs relevant to the analysis of antitrust injury, as well as address both legal and economic issues with respect to the measurement of antitrust damages. Each chapter provides the student, practitioner, consultant and/or judicial officer critical insight with respect to the analysis and measurement of competitive injury and any resulting business damages. This book is designed to serve as 1) a companion text in any antitrust law class; 2) a supplemental text in any managerial economics class; and 3) a resource to practitioners and consultants in the field of antitrust and industrial organization.The study of antitrust law is an interdisciplinary endeavor. While the traditional case method approach provides a solid introductory foundation, such an approach, absent any applied economic theory, will likely result in a stale, task-oriented classroom and/or jurisprudential environment, primarily devoted to categorizing an evolving common law history. Given the arbitrarily imposed time constraints imposed by an institutional semester or an administrative judge, one cannot expect to teach or learn all the intricacies of microeconomics, but since an understanding of microeconomics fundamentals will result from an understanding of the underlying assumptions of the model of perfect competition, one can expect to achieve a certain level of competence in their application.Each of the contributing authors is recognized for his or her scholarship and expertise in the antitrust regulatory field. The totality of their varied backgrounds and experiences not only illustrates the robust nature of the book's contents, but also illustrates the profound interdisciplinary nature of regulating competition in the markets of the world.
