Intensely lyrical and unabashedly sensual, Piero Bellanova's Bombarded Naples Sings is a masterpiece of Italian Futurist literature. The final volume to appear under the movement's illustrious 'Edizioni Futuriste di Poesia' imprint, it was a product of Futurism's concluding (and least studied) phase, extending from Italy's entry into World War Two in 1940 to the death of the movement's leader, F. T. Marinetti, four years later. First published in August 1943 - between the fall of Mussolini's Fascist regime in July, and the invasion of the Italian mainland by Allied troops that September - it's been seen as an attempt "to construct an epic of everyday life by means of a first-hand account of the war". However, the ultimate purpose of this frequently moving work appears to have been of a consolatory, 'spiritual' nature, offering a means by which Bellanova and his readers might, temporarily, "escape the terrible devastation of our adored Italy through Art". With its elegiac tone and precise imagistic language, Bombarded Naples Sings challenges stereotypical notions as to the grandiloquent, florid and aggressive nature of late Futurist poetry - typically characterized as little more than crude propaganda - addressing such themes as love, friendship and the beauty of the natural world This book is the first English translation of Bellanova's 1943 anthology. The work and it's contextualizing introduction will give readers an insight into the themes, preoccupations and stylistic character of late Futurist poetry

Politics in Manitoba is the first comprehensive review of the Manitoba party system that combines history and contemporary public opinion data to reveal the political and voter trends that have shaped the province of Manitoba over the past 130 years. Written by Christopher Adams, Research Director at the national public opinion research firm Probe Research, Politics in Manitoba details the histories of each of the three major provincial parties, the Progressive Conservatives, the Liberals, and the New Democratic Party, from 1870 to 2007. He looks in particular at the enduring influence of political geography and political culture, as well as the impact of leadership, campaign strategies, organizational resources, and the media on voter preferences. Adams also presents here for the first time public opinion data based on more than 25,000 interviews with Manitobans conducted between 1999 and 2007. He analyses voter age, gender, income, education, and geographic location to determine how Manitobans vote. In the process Adams dispels some commonly held beliefs about party supporters and identifies recurring themes in voter behavior.

These twelve essays constitute a groundbreaking volume of new work prepared by leading scholars in the fields of history, anthropology, constitutional law, political science, and sociology, who identify the many facets of what it means to be Metis in Canada today. After the Powley decision in 2003, Metis people were no longer conceptually limited to the historical boundaries of the fur trade in Canada. Key ideas explored in this collection include identity, rights, and issues of governance, politics, and economics. The book will be of great interest to scholars in political science and native studies, the legal community, public administrators, government policy advisors, and people seeking to better understand the Metis past and present. Contributors: Christopher Adams, Gloria Jane Bell, Glen Campbell, Gregg Dahl, Janique Dubois, Tom Flanagan, Liam J. Haggarty, Laura-Lee Kearns, Darren O'Toole, Jeremy Patzer, Ian Peach, Siomonn P. Pulla, Kelly L. Saunders.

Stars are the fundamental observable constituents of the Universe. They are the first objects we see in the night sky, they dominate the light produced in our own and other galaxies, and nucleosynthesis in stars produces all the elements heavier than helium. A knowledge of stars and their evolution is vital to understand other astrophysical objects from accreting black holes and galaxies to the Universe itself.The structure of a star can be described mathematically by differential equations derived from the principles of hydrodynamics, electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics. The basic equations of a spherical star are derived in detail at an accessible level. The topics discussed include modes of energy transport, the equation of state, the physics of the opacity sources and the nuclear reactions. Attention is also given to the virial theorem, polytropic gas spheres and homology principles and the procedure for numerical solution of the equations is outlined. This book tracks the evolution of stars from their main-sequence evolution through the exhaustion of various nuclear fuels to the end points of evolution and also introduces the topic of interacting binary stars. The aim is to take the reader from the essential underlying physical principles to the doors to current research on stellar interiors.

Zambia is a landlocked mineral dependent country in Southern Africa whose history is intimately entwined with the copper mining industry. Having gained Independence from Britain in 1964 at the height of a copper boom, the country experienced a slow and painful economic decline over the next quarter century. However, following a traumatic and protracted process of economic adjustment through the 1990s and early 2000s, Zambia's economic potential is now better than it has been at any time since Independence. This book, which contains a set of rigorous but accessible essays by a range of Zambian and international scholars, seeks to examine the challenges and opportunities that currently face Zambian policymakers as they seek to harness the country's valuable natural assets to broad-based and sustainable economic growth over the coming decades. Written in a non-technical manner by leading scholars in the field, the chapters address key challenges in the areas of natural resource management, agriculture, trade, employment and migration, education, finance, and investment. This is the second volume in the Africa: Policies for Prosperity series following on from the successful first volume on Kenya.
