The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Rural Policy (Paperback): Matteo Vittuari, John Devlin, Marco Pagani, Thomas G. Johnson The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Rural Policy (Paperback)
Matteo Vittuari, John Devlin, Marco Pagani, Thomas G. Johnson
R1,459 Discovery Miles 14 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume represents the result of almost two decades of trans-Atlantic collaborative development of a policy research paradigm, the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies program. Over this period dozens of scientists from different disciplines but with a common interest in rural issues and policy have collaboratively studied the policies in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. A core element of the book is the idea and practice of comparative research and analysis - what can be learned from comparisons, how and why policies vary in different contexts, and what lessons might or might not be "transferable" across borders. It provides skills for the use of comparative methods as important tools to analyze the functioning of strategies and specific policy interventions in different contexts and a holistic approach for the management of resources in rural regions. It promotes innovation as a tool to valorize endogenous resources and empower local communities and offers case studies of rural policy in specific contexts. The book largely adopts a territorial approach to rural policy. This means the book is more interested in rural regions, their people and economies, and in the policies that affect them, than in rural sectors, and sectoral policies per se. The audience of the book is by definition international and includes students attending courses in agricultural and rural policy, rural and regional studies, and natural resource management; lecturers seeking course material and case studies to present to their students in any of the courses listed above; professionals working in the field of rural policy; policy-makers and civil servants at different levels seeking tools to better understand rural policy both at the local and global scale and to better recognize and comprehend how to transfer best practices.

Questa e un'altra volta ci invita a sostare per farci raccontare le storie del Mondo Altro di Thanetian, dimora dei nostri sogni, sentimenti e desideri. Questa e un'altra volta e l'esperienza di un' innocenza ritrovata, di una narrazione che guarda a tutto con occhi da bambino, con la consapevolezza che questo nostro mondo e, nonostante tutto, un buon posto dove abitare. Questi dodici racconti che si intersecano e si intrecciano vogliono essere un omaggio a Italo Calvino, Jorge Luis Borges, Michael Ende e al loro leggero e infinito narrare.

Questa mano che scrive (Italian, Paperback): Marco Pagani Questa mano che scrive (Italian, Paperback)
Marco Pagani
R322 Discovery Miles 3 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dodici racconti per regolare i conti con la memoria del passato e tutti i fantasmi che la abitano, storie lontane che scandagliano distanze piu lunghe nello spazio e nel tempo e storie vicine per raccogliere i sentimenti di tutta una generazione. "Questa mano che scrive" e un verso di Primo Levi, ma ricorda anche le mani che si disegnano di Maurits Cornelis Escher. Scriviamo cio che abbiamo vissuto, ma cio che abbiamo scritto spesso ci plasma e ci fa vedere e vivere le cose diversamente. E a volte le storie si scrivono persino da sole... Quando si sopravvive ai propri sogni resta solo la scrittura.

Il futuro si e fatto breve (Italian, Paperback): Marco Pagani Il futuro si e fatto breve (Italian, Paperback)
Marco Pagani
R424 Discovery Miles 4 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Da sempre il futuro e stato il luogo di cittadinanza della SF, che spesso sola ha avuto il coraggio e la visione per poterlo abitare in tutte le sue pieghe fino agli angoli piu remoti. Il futuro si e fatto breve vuole cogliere questa sfida e mettere cio che ancora non e al centro in undici racconti che spaziano dal futuro prossimo a quello remoto. Se la narrazione ha un gusto un po' amaro e solo per esorcizzare la negativita; parlare dell'uragano e il modo migliore per capire per tempo cosa sono quelle nubi che si addensano all'orizzonte

Amandla! (Italian, Paperback): Marco Pagani Amandla! (Italian, Paperback)
Marco Pagani
R449 Discovery Miles 4 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In un futuro vagamente ucronico - dal sapore anni settanta - David ha perso la memoria e per lui la realta si e ridotta ad un incubo di frammenti spezzati. E' davvero pazzo come dicono o e ... qualcos'altro? Qualcuno lo sta aiutando ad uscire dal labirinto, per portarlo verso un altro livello di realta, ma la scoperta non sara piacevole ... Amandla! e un romanzo a cavallo tra SF e narrativa di anticipazione, che si muove tra l'Africa e le suggestioni virtuali di P.K. Dick e di Matrix, tra i Beatles e Nelson Mandela. Il primo capitolo di Amandla! e apparso sulla rivista on-line Inciquid n. 7/2005
