Il libro contiene tre rapporti della commissione del Senato americano sulle vittime dei crimini dei regimi comunisti, rispettivamente in Unione Sovietica, in Cina e nel Vietnam comunista, pubblicati nei primi anni 1970. Il numero delle vittime del terrore comunista calcolate a quel tempo era di circa 60 milioni, esclusi i caduti in guerra - o per ragioni riconducibili alla guerra - quelle dovute a fattori estranei al comunismo. Oggi questi dati sono largamente superati dalle inchieste condotte dagli specialisti dopo il crollo dell'URSS: Il libro nero del comunismo parla di almeno 100 milioni di morti. In questo centenario della Rivoluzione di Ottobre riproponiamo le stime americane del 1972, come testimonianza di una tappa della drammatica storia del confronto fra comunismo e anti-comunismo.

Networks have been described in terms of metaphors, governance arrangements and structural or institutional arrangements. These different perspectives of networks come out of a variety of disciplines, including political science, public administration, urban affairs, social welfare, public management and organizational/sociological research. This wealth of research, while contributing to a deeper understanding of networks, presents a dilemma which is addressed by this book. That is the question of whether there is a theory of public networks that informs networks in their various forms, and is there a need for a new theory of networks? More importantly, is network research still relevant to practice? Does network theory improve the process of governance? Are different terms and/or approaches actually the same or different? What do these different approaches mean to theory?

This book deeply explores and integrates existing network theory and related theories from a number of perspectives, levels and jurisdictions to develop a framework to guide network design, governance and management. The book focuses on the important issue of network performance, looking at networks as bounded and consciously arranged; the actors who participate in them design the relationships among a bounded set of individual organizations to purse common objectives. Finally, the chapters tease out the variety of governance modes or regimes that intersect with network governance. This book offers a comprehensive, integrative, interdisciplinary approach that enables specialists, practitioners and administrators across a wide array of interests and fields to formulate and work on problems using a common language, analytical framework and theoretical basis.

A fascinating collection of fiction-turned-reality tales. Long before movies like Minority Report and The Matrix, the world's writers have been recording the future as it might exist-and as it turns out, they were right. This bizarre anthology collects the most stunning predictions and imagined inventions here for the first time. Visions of Tomorrow includes 'The Land Iron Clads' by H. G. Wells, who described a military tank in 1903-long before it was ever a possibility; 'The Yesterday House' by Fritz Leiber, who writes about cloned humans; 'Reason' by Isaac Asimov, who predicted solar power could be harnessed by satellites; and many more.

In this stunning anthology of never-before-collected stories, our world's greatest science fiction writers demonstrate that the truth can be just as strange as fiction.
