UniLend č un progetto culturale e didattico che coinvolge le competenze del mondo accademico e delle istituzioni scolastiche dei vari ordini e gradi nell'intento di costruire ed elaborare processi di interscambio tra la scuola secondaria e l'Universitą, in collegamento con le riforme del sistema di istruzione e con il progredire del processo di integrazione europea. La Facoltą di Lettere e Filosofia di Catania ha avviato una serie di progetti di ricerca e di didattica con Lend (Lingua e Nuova Didattica), che č una associazione accreditata presso il Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, che ha preso parte alle commissioni sulla riforma scolastica e che di recente sta lavorando sui Progetti europei. Il primo incontro di studi č stato sul tema Educazione linguistica e dialogo interculturale, strutturato su un confronto dinamico tra teoria e prassi, attraverso l'ideazione dei laboratori, per individuare le buone pratiche di insegnamento da affidare ai giovani docenti, formati attraverso le Sissis dell'Ateneo di Catania. Gli Atti di questa giornata rendono conto di una messa in comune di saperi, di un dialogo che UniLend continuerą a proporre e sperimentare.

Increasing evidence suggests that the composition and spatial configuration – the pattern – of forest landscapes affect many ecological processes, including the movement and persistence of particular species, the susceptibility and spread of disturbances such as fires or pest outbreaks, and the redistribution of matter and nutrients. Understanding these issues is key to the successful management of complex, multifunctional forest landscapes, and landscape ecology, based on a foundation of island bio-geography and meta-population dynamic theories, provides the rationale to deal with this pattern-to-process interaction at different spatial and temporal scales.This carefully edited volume represents a stimulating addition to the international literature on landscape ecology and resource management. It provides key insights into some of the applicable landscape ecological theories that underlie forest management, with a specific focus on how forest management can benefit from landscape ecology, and how landscape ecology can be advanced by tackling challenging problems in forest (landscape) management. It also presents a series of case studies from Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and Australia exploring the issues of disturbance, diversity, management, and scale, and with a specific focus on how human intervention affects forest landscapes and, in turn, how landscapes influence humans and their culture.An important reference for advanced students and researchers in landscape ecology, conservation biology, forest ecology, natural resource management and ecology across multiple scales, the book will also appeal to researchers and practitioners in reserve design, ecological restoration, forest management, landscape planning and landscape architecture.

Il diavolo esiste, č tra noi. E il pił grande esorcista spagnolo, Josč Antonio Fortea, ce ne svela la natura trasportandoci, in pieno XXI secolo, nel mondo ancestrale della possessione diabolica. Un libro sulla parte pił oscura della Creazione, e che ci insegna davvero a conoscerla, affrontarla e sconfiggerla.

Volume 13 in the RUSCH series continues work already begun on the School of Aristotle. Volume 9 featured Demetrius of Phalerum, Volume 10, Dicaearchus of Messana, Volume 11, Eudemus of Rhodes, and Volume 12, both Lyco of Troas and Hieronymus of Rhodes. Now Volume 13 turns our attention to Aristo of Iulis on Ceos, who was active in the last quarter of the third century BCE. Almost certainly he was Lyco's successor as head of the Peripatetic School. In antiquity, Aristo was confused with the like-named Stoic philosopher from Chios, so that several works were claimed for both philosophers. Among these disputed works, those with Peripatetic antecedents, like Exhortations and Erotic Dissertations, are plausibly assigned to Aristo of Ceos. Other works attributed to the Peripatetic are Lyco (presumably a biography of Aristo's predecessor), On Old Age, and Relieving Arrogance. Whether part of the last-named work or a separate treatise, Aristo's descriptions of persons exhibiting inconsiderateness, self-will, and other unattractive traits relate closely to the Characters of Theophrastus. In addition, Aristo wrote biographies of Heraclitus, Socrates, and Epicurus. We may be sure that he did the same for the leaders of the Peripatos, whose wills he seems to have preserved within the biographies. The volume gives pride of place to Peter Stork's new edition of the fragments of Aristo of Ceos. The edition includes a translation on facing pages. There are also notes on the Greek and Latin texts (an apparatus criticus) and substantive notes that accompany the translation. This edition will replace that of Fritz Wehrli, which was made over half a century ago and published without translation. William W. Fortenbaugh is professor emeritus of classics at Rutgers University. He is the author of Aristotle on Emotion and the founder of Project Theophrastus. Stephen A. White is associate professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Sovereign Virtue: Aristotle on the Relation between Happiness and Prosperity.

This Report is revised and expanded from the 1972 publication, providing an up-to-the-minute account of the British Ordovician formations and their correlation nationally and internationally. It also includes the most comprehensive treatment of Ireland ever attempted. The reference list is a comprehensive bibliography of papers on the subject published since 1970.
This Special Report will be a valuable reference for research and applied geoscientists working with rocks of Ordovician age. It will be of particular interest to those working in, or visiting, the Welsh mountains and the English Lake District.
