Il volume, che accompagna l'esposizione al Museo Comunale d'Arte Moderna di Ascona (aprile-giugno 2023), a cura di Alberto Fiz, in collaborazione con l'Archivio Nanda Vigo, offre l'opportunità di approfondire l'indagine di Nanda Vigo (1936-2020), tra le figure più significative e dirompenti del dopoguerra che nella sua ricerca ha saputo integrare arte, architettura e design. Attraverso un percorso tematico, il volume analizza l'iter creativo dell'artista dalla fine degli anni Cinquanta agli anni Duemila, documentando la sua vasta produzione a partire dai 'Cronotopi', le sue opere più famose, che rappresentano la fusione del tempo con lo spazio attraverso la luce. Ma l'approfondita pubblicazione descrive anche gli spettacolari ambienti immersivi e propone una selezione delle più celebri creazioni nell'ambito del design tra cui la 'Golden Gate', la sua lampada più emblematica, con la luce fluorescente che sembra scaturire dall'acciaio cromato. Il volume è arricchito dai saggi critici di Alberto Fiz, Ilaria Bignotti, Barbara Könches, Marco Meneguzzo, un testo di Riccardo Blumer, con le schede tematiche dell'Archivio Nanda Vigo.

Metacognition is a set of active mental processes that allows users to monitor, regulate, and direct their personal cognitive strategies.Improving Student Information Search traces the impact of a tutorial on education graduate students’ problem-solving in online research databases. The tutorial centres on idea tactics developed by Bates that represent metacognitive strategies designed to improve information search outcomes. The first half of the book explores the role of metacognition in problem-solving, especially for education graduate students. It also discusses the use of metacognitive scaffolds for improving students’ problem-solving. The second half of the book presents the mixed method study, including the development of the tutorial, its impact on seven graduate students’ search behaviour and outcomes, and suggestions for adapting the tutorial for other users.

• provides metacognitive strategies to improve students’ information search outcomes

Cologne's oldest museum, the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud - also referred to simply as 'the Wallraf' - is one of the largest classic galleries in Germany, and it possesses the most important collection of Western art from the Middle Ages up to the early twentieth century in western Germany. Indeed, its collection of Impressionist painting is the largest in all of Germany - not lastly due to the works contained in the Fondation Corboud, which were bequeathed to the Wallraf by the Swiss collector Gerard J. Corboud.
For the first time, the unique treasures of Impressionism that belong to the Wallraf's store of paintings have been assembled in an illustrated volume. Prominence has been given to works by Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and many more of the great masters.

Enriched by Cherokee voices, this guidebook offers a unique journey into the lands and culture of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Every year millions of tourists visit these mountains, drawn by the region's great natural beauty and diverse cultural traditions. Many popular aspects of Cherokee culture are readily apparent. Beneath the surface, however, lies a deeper Cherokee heritage--rooted in sacred places, community ties, storytelling, folk arts, and centuries of history.

Cherokee Heritage Trails Guidebook is your introduction to this vibrant world. The book is organized around seven geographical hubs or communities within the original Cherokee homeland. Each chapter covers sites, side trips, scenic drives, and events. Cherokee stories, history, poems, and philosophy enrich the text and reveal the imagination of Cherokees past and present.

The Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina, is the main interpretive center for the Cherokee Heritage Trails.

The Cherokee Heritage Trails are a project of the Blue Ridge Heritage Initiative and its partners, the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, the North Carolina Arts Council, the Tennessee Overhill Heritage Association, the North Carolina Folklife Institute, the Tennessee Arts Commission, and the Blue Ridge Parkway Division of the National Park Service.
