Local Identities and Transnational Cults within Europe

by Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Alfonsina Bellio, Riccardo Cruzzolin, Paola de Salvo, Laurent S. Fournier, Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Etienne Guillaume, André Julliard, Tony Kiely, Inga B. Kuzma, Mathilde Lamothe, Gaëlla Loiseau, Daniele Parbuono, Gianfranco Spitilli

Local-level pilgrimages, when based on strong expressions of faith, can have a much wider local, regional and international appeal. It has been estimated that pilgrims and religious tourists number around 330 million per year, meaning development of these faith identities can help drive destination visitation and regional development. This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, thus illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity. Focusing on the interrelationship of cultural groups and the overall formation of culture and society, this book: - Uses a range of multidisciplinary, sociological and ethnographic studies to illustrate the evolution of pilgrimage sites and saints. - Includes practical case studies and illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage development from a variety of international perspectives. - Provides a selection of discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to engage with further study and investigation of these important issues. An invaluable review of cultural identity and faith, this book delivers to scholars, students and local policy makers a collection of current perspectives on the growth, development and evolution of faith practices surrounding contemporary and historical sites and saints.

The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

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.

Colossus

by Riccardo Francaviglia

The theme of diversity and acceptance in the metaphor of love between a mother and her cumbersome child.When he was born he was small like everyone else. Then he grew up and became a colossus. A colossus is a problem and nobody wants to have any problems. An album to tell how to be too big, or just different, can be a problem, and nobodywants problems. But for mothers, no child is a problem and perhaps there is a placewhere they aren’t giants. An album about the acceptance and love of mothers, and countries that know how to open their doors.

THE VERTIGO OF THE CLIMB

SMALL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE THRILL OF PEDALLING UPWARDS

by RICCARDO BARLAAM

“I go so hard uphill to shorten my agony”. This is how Marco Pantani tried to explain the meaning of what he did: the vertigo of the climb. When the Pirata sprinted, Italy stopped. His sprints had become a sort of mass orgiastic ritual. The bandana was off, the head down, the hands on the handlebars in the sprint position, the grimace of pain that looked like a bitter smile. In the climb, ever since cycling was born - in this extraordinarily close to mountaineering - there is the highest moment of a sport that speaks with sweat, muscles and heart as well as wheels and pedals. An absurd claim to try to conquer the climbs. A challenge to one's own limits and to fatigue, which for a strange alchemy, physical but also inner, is transformed into elation and intimate joy only on arrival. At the top. Where the infinitely small becomes everything.

THE “SPIDERS” OF LECCO

An illustrated history

by Serafino Ripamonti

The story of the mountaineering association Ragni di Lecco (the “spiders” of Lecco) from the Forties to our present day, with documents and eyewitness accounts on their accomplishments all around the world, from America to Patagonia. “Ragni di Lecco” is the oldest and most prestigious rock-climbing group in Italy. Its famed red jersey with its badge featuring a six-legged spider is linked to the most challenging ascents in the world – from Alpine peaks to the wuthering heights of Patagonia to the mindboggling altitudes of the Himalaya. Its famed bearers include Riccardo Cassin, Carlo Mauri, Casimiro Ferrari, along with many others who have left an indelible mark on the history of mountain climbing and daring deeds. This illustrated volume recounts the intertwined stories of brotherhood, love for the mountains and historical exploits, beginning with the first generation of “spiders”, who in 1946 sought to take back the youth they had been denied by the horrors of the World War, and following their footsteps from the local peaks of Grigna to the historical ascent of the Western face of Cerro Torre in 1974. And the tale continues today, with the adventures of a new generation of top climbers, like Matteo Della Bordella, adding their own chapters to the history of the association and keeping alive a love of adventure with a dash of romanticism.

Ettore is the one who finds it, though, on his eighth birthday. But the Pearl belongs to the sea, which is where it must return. So begins Ettore’s mission to put all the elements back into their natural order. Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno
