Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Key Features Collects together the major health impacts for the first time Covers animal and plant invasive species Examines issues in developed and developing countries The broad spectrum of the analyzed case studies will ensure the appeal of the book to a wide public, including researchers of biological invasions, doctors, policy-makers and managers, and students of invasive species in ecology, animal and plant biology and public health medicine.

THE MEMORY I DIDN'T HAVE
by Test by Alberto Melis
«... what was grandpa Gabriel doing there? In a Roma camp? “ «... Porrajmos? ... what does it mean? What’s this?» Alberto Melis returns with a novel of strong civil commitment to talk about racism, intolerance, prejudice, and what he has to tell us and teach us about the past. The protagonists are two twelve-year-old boys, Mattia and Angela, who live in Rome and who face a mystery that has its roots in the distant past, at the time of the Second World War and of the tragic mass exterminations by the Nazi regime. Mattia’s grandfather, Gabriel, an elderly gentleman of Polish origin who has lived in Italy for over sixty years, is seriously injured during the assault by a group of racists against a Roma camp. But what was Grandpa Gabriel doing in a Roma camp? Mattia tries to find out who that taciturn grandfather is, which is the missing page of his past. He will learn of a tragedy that rarely appears in the history books: the Porrajmos, the extermination by the Nazi hand of over half a million European Romani. This story, forgotten by history, deserves the justice of a memory.

A sumptuous “palazzo” unveiled for the first time in this book, and one of the finest testimonies of Sicilian architecture and decorative arts. After the death of the Marquis of Castelluccio, one of the last great Sicilian aristocrats such as those who inspired Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa for The Leopard, his abode was forgotten and started to fall part, like a metaphor for a world that was no more… Half a century later, Jean-Louis Remilleux falls in love with this exceptional 18th century palace in ruins and sets out to restore it. The owner himself guides us through the awe-inspiring rooms full of splendors only Sicily can offer.
