MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

In Animal Migration, learn why animals are compelled to migrate and the various patterns and cycles of their migrations.

Die Philosophie des Laufens
by M. W. Austin, Peter Reichenbach
Schuhe an und los: Es gibt gute Gründe dafür, warum Laufen Volkssport Nummer 1 geworden ist. Ob im Wald, im Park, auf der Straße, ob vor oder nach der Arbeit, im Sommer, im Winter und natürlich bei Wettkämpfen – laufen kann man überall und jederzeit, es ist vielseitig und für jeden einfach und günstig machbar. Aber es steckt noch mehr dahinter. Laufen schult unseren Charakter und verhilft uns zu größerer Freiheit, erweitert unseren Horizont und lehrt uns viel über uns selbst und die Welt um uns herum. Davon erzählen hier kenntnisreich internationale Autoren aus verschiedenen Disziplinen – Philosophen, Journalisten und Sportler. Sie erklären uns, wieso Freundschaften unter Läufern auch für andere Bereiche des Lebens wichtig sind, berichten vom Laufen mit Apps und davon, welchen Unterschied es macht, auf einem Laufband oder im Freien zu laufen. Sie schildern uns die Parallele zwischen Schmerz und Freude beim Laufen und im Leben, erzählen, wie es sich anfühlt, zum ersten Mal an einem Marathon teilzunehmen – und zeigen, warum ein kurzer Trainingslauf am Wochenende genauso glücklich machen kann.

University engagement and environmental sustainability
by Michael Osborne, Patricia Inman, Diana Robinson
Universities have a key role to play in contributing to environmental development and combating climate change. The chapters within this volume detail the challenges faced by higher education institutions in considering environmental sustainability, and provide both a broad view of university engagement and a detailed examination of various projects. As part of this series in association with the Place and Social Capital and Learning (PASCAL) International Observatory, the three key PASCAL themes of place management, lifelong learning and the development of social capital are considered throughout the book. While universities have historically generated knowledge outside of specific local contexts, this book argues that it is particularly important for them to engage with the local community and to consider diverse perspectives and assets when looking at issues within an ecological context. The chapters in this volume provide new perspectives and frames of reference for transforming universities by engaging in the development of resilient communities.
