Title :
Fumo. La storia d'amore tra gli italiani e la sigarettaAuthor: Ipsen Carl Publisher: Le Monnier Il XX secolo, non solo in Italia, è stato avvolto in una nuvola di fumo di sigaretta. A lungo fumare è stato figo, un modo per manifestare ricchezza, seduzione, maturità, indipendenza, cameratismo, ribellione... La coltre si diradò man mano che l'opinione pubblica prese coscienza del nesso tra fumo e malattie, stabilito dalla ricerca medica sin dagli anni Cinquanta. Oggi il fumo ha perso le sue connotazioni positive, eppure non si è ancora dissolto del tutto, nemmeno dopo i divieti di fumare nei luoghi pubblici. Seguire la parabola del consumo di un prodotto così pervasivo offre una particolare via d'accesso al passato. Questa indagine, basata su una ampia varietà di fonti, dalle statistiche ufficiali al cinema, dalla letteratura ai periodici illustrati, permette di cogliere aspetti e trasformazioni avvenute in Italia nel XX secolo: l'evoluzione della ricchezza, i rapporti di classe, tra uomini e donne e tra Stato e cittadino, il ruolo della stampa, l'atteggiamento di fronte al rischio, l'immaginario erotico, l'americanizzazione del secondo dopoguerra. € 22,00

Title :
FumoAuthor: Ipsen Carl Publisher: Stanford Univ Pr For over a century, Italy has had a love affair with the cigarette. Perhaps no consumer item better symbolizes the economic, political, social, and cultural dimensions of contemporary Italian history. Starting around 1900, the new and popular cigarette spread down the social hierarchy and eventually, during the 1960s, across the gender divide. For much of the century, cigarette consumption was an index of economic well-being and of modernism. Only at the end of the century did its meaning change as Italy achieved economic parity with other Western powers and entered into the antismoking era. Drawing on film, literature, and the popular press, Carl Ipsen offers a view of the "cigarette century" in Italy, from the 1870s to the ban on public smoking in 2005. He traces important links between smoking and imperialism, world wars, Fascism, and the protest movements of the 1970s. In considering this grand survey of the cigarette, Fumo tells a much larger story about the socio-economic history of a society known for its casual attitude toward risk and a penchant for la dolce vita. € 24,30

Title :
A Short History of MigrationAuthor: Livi-Bacci Massimo, Ipsen Carl (TRN) Publisher: Polity Pr Translated by Carl Ipsen. This short book provides a succinct and masterly overview of the history of migration, from the earliest movements of human beings out of Africa into Asia and Europe to the present day, exploring along the way those factors that contribute to the successes and failures of migratory groups. Separate chapters deal with the migration flows between Europe and the rest of the world in the 19th and 20th centuries and with the turbulent and complex migratory history of the Americas. Livi Bacci shows that, over the centuries, migration has been a fundamental human prerogative and has been an essential element in economic development and the achievement of improved standards of living. The impact of state policies has been mixed, however, as states have each established their own rules of entry and departure - rules that today accentuate the differences between the interests of the sending countries, the receiving countries, and the migrants themselves. Lacking international agreement on migration rules owing to the refusal of states to surrender any of their sovereignty in this regard, the positive role that migration has always played in social development is at risk. This concise history of migration by one of the world's leading demographers will be an indispensable text for students and for anyone interested in understanding how the movement of people has shaped the modern world. € 58,00
