        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.

        Via Crucis con Tommaso Reggio

        by Paolo Rizzi

        La Via Crucis è un atto di gratitudine al Padre per l'immenso dono della salvezza, operata mediante la passione, morte e risurrezione di Gesù. Al tempo stesso, è una contemplazione della figura del Cristo sofferente e morente, che ci appare come uomo sfigurato e sconfitto. Ma la morte non è il definitivo sbocco della vita del Figlio di Dio: la sua sofferenza ha aperto a Lui la glorificazione, nello splendore della risurrezione, e a noi la giustificazione dei nostri peccati. Accompagnati dagli scritti e dalle testimonianze delle eroiche virtù di monsignor Tommaso Reggio, percorriamo spiritualmente l’itinerario della Via Crucis, per comprendere quanto egli ha imitato il divino Maestro nel cammino esigente della sequela e, nella forza dello Spirito Santo, è stato testimone dell’amore forte come la morte (cfr. Cantico dei cantici 8,6). Uniti con il cuore e la mente a questo santo Pastore della Chiesa, vogliamo salire con trepidazione e speranza il Calvario e meditare sulla sofferenza del Cristo. L’insegnamento di colui che è teneramente venerato come padre della Congregazione delle Suore di S. Marta ci aiuti a riscoprire questa immensa lezione di dolore e di amore, per decidere un passo nuovo di conversione e di apertura accogliente e umile agli altri. Il Figlio di Dio sul Golgota soffre anche le nostre angosce per aprirci cammini, forse inattesi, di risurrezione. Dalle piaghe delle sue mani, dei suoi piedi, del suo costato, e sicuramente del suo cuore, si irradia quella luce che tutto cambia in risurrezione. Questa luce l’hanno colta per prime le donne, le uniche rimaste fedeli, a parte Giovanni, le più esposte, le più capaci di amore, come dimostra il gesto della Veronica che asciuga il Volto di Cristo.

        Us

        by Michele Cocchi

        Tommaso is 16 years old, and hasn’t left the house for 18 months – in fact, he barely leaves his room. He is what psychologists refer to as hikikomori: literally “pulling inward, being confined”. One day, he suddenly abandoned basketball, school, and all his hobbies, and now spends his time watching old NBA matches and playing video games. There is one game in particular which determines the structure of his days, and has become his only means of socialisation. The game is called Us: a multiplayer game where teams of three players carry out 100 challenges per year, one each day. The team that completes the challenge first, while staying united as a group, wins. Tommaso’s avatar, whose head is a skull, is called Logan. His other team members are Rin: a girl who resembles a Japanese manga character, and Hud: a character straight out of a shooter game. These three do not know each other – according to the rules of the game, they are not allowed to discuss their private lives – but they soon become friends. Every day, Us provides them with a “historical” mission. They will fight either for the victims or for the perpetrators – for example, as part of the Colombian FARC, with the German Nazis, or in support of Mandela in South Africa. Every day, they must work out how to reach the end of the mission while surrounded by the horrors of the twentieth century. Every day, they will have someone to save and someone to kill. They will soon discover that history can be brutal, and that it’s not always possible to be the hero.

      • A history of where. Looking for the boundaries of the world

        Alla ricerca dei confine del mondo

        by Tommaso Maccacaro Claudio M. Tartari

        Since the very first time man began measuring the space around him, wonder never ceased. The question "Where are we?" looks like an easy one and yet the answer is anything but simple. The question is still open. Conclusions are always provisional, always questioned by new findings.The space gets bigger and bigger, the notion of "where" becomes broader. It is not just the Big Bang or the universe expanding: it is our perception of the space that broadened over time,becoming more and more complex and making us smaller and smaller, lost in a "where" now limitless.In this short but dense and enjoyable book, Maccacaro and Tartari bring us from the fuzzy space of the valleys inhabited by Homo Erectus to the cosmogonic myths of ancient cultures, introducing us to the first representations of the world. Leafing through their book we will learn that the great Empires of the Bronze Age already created sophisticated conceptual maps, while the stars already helped travellers to find their way. Heavenly space constantly intersectedwith the space on earth, and in classical antiquity the space began to dilate. During the Middle Ages calculation and navigation tools became more refined. Eventually, the discovery of a new continent radically changed our notion of "where", and subsequent exploration rapidly filled with names the spaces previously left blank on ancient parchment maps. In the Modern Age, lenses made the sky bigger, leading to the discovery of new planets. Stars quickly turned intogalaxies, while new theories literally reshaped the world. "Where" is now an elastic, time-related, limitless and ever changing concept.

      • BLACK WINGS

        by Test by Alberto Melis

        The Basque village of Durango, Spain. A tragic and little known moment of recent history through the eyes of Tommaso, a twelve-year-old Italian boy who arrived in Biscay with his parents engaged, along with men and women of fifty-three different nations, to fight against the Francoist army and for freedom. Despite the civil war, Tommaso lives the experiences and doubts with the intensity of his age. He forms a strong friendship with Susa, a free and rebellious Spanish girl who makes him love Garcia Lorca, readings, nature, animals. A tree becomes their refuge. On March 31, on a quiet market day, black silhouettes of aircraft appear in the sky of Durango. No one can imagine what is going to happen. The first carpet bombing of civilians in the history of human wars took place in Durango, a few weeks before that of Guernica, made famous by Picasso’s painting. It was the Italian fascist aviation of the time that executed this bombing. This emblematic page of history, often forgotten, especially in Italy, deserves to be remembered, even with this novel. In this fiction book, stories and characters of creations created by the author move in a real and well-documented historical context. The well-defined historical setting offers many insights without removing space from the taste of a narration. The reader finds reasons to become attached to the various characters. A novel for kids that can also be enjoyed by adults.

        L'inganno della solitudine

        by Simona Marocco

        Tommaso works in a call center and lives the monotony of his everyday life. Rossana is a teacher and has recently lost her controversial love. Valeria is a teenager who had to face the illness of a distracted mother, together with her father, Daniele, who had to carry the weight of responsibilities on his shoulders, annihilating himself. Simona Marocco’s “L’Inganno della Solitudine” (The Deception of Loneliness) highlights the fragility of the human soul, which can be conditioned and malleable, and the author has been able to intertwine the stories of four characters who would have probably remained lost alone in their dark journey of solitude. ---  Tommaso lavora in un call center e vive la monotonia della quotidianità. Rossana fa l’insegnante e ha perso da poco il suo controverso amore. Valeria è un’adolescente che ha dovuto sopportare la malattia di una madre distratta, insieme a suo padre Daniele che si è dovuto caricare sulle spalle il peso delle responsabilità, annientandosi.La vita a volte ci pone davanti a situazioni più grandi di noi. E quando accade, non sempre si ha la forza di affrontare un oggi che può sembrare insormontabile.Eppure le risorse degli esseri umani possono stupire al punto da far superare ciò che, al momento, appare insormontabile.Questa capacità può essere interna come provenire da qualcuno in grado di dirci la cosa giusta al momento giusto; talvolta si palesa un’opportunità che mai avremmo immaginato potesse presentarsi.L’inganno della solitudine evidenzia la fragilità dell’animo umano, condizionabile quanto malleabile, e Simona Marocco è riuscita a intrecciare le vicende di quattro personaggi che probabilmente da soli si sarebbero persi nell’oscuro viaggio della solitudine, ognuno trasportando sulle spalle il peso della propria esistenza, come farebbe un Atlante della sofferenza. Ma si sa: c’è sempre speranza…All'interno, prefazione del dottor Mirko La Bella, psicologo, psicoterapeuta e docente all'Università di Torino.

        That Summer in Puglia

        by Valeria Vescina

        That Summer In Puglia is a tale of love, loss, the perils of self-deception and the power of compassion. Puglia offers an ideal setting: its layers of history are integral to the story, itself an excavation of a man’s past; Tommaso’s increasingly vivid memories of its sensuous colours, aromas and tastes, and of how it felt to love and be loved, eventually transform the discomforting tone with which he at first tries to keep Will – and painful truths – at a distance. This remarkable debut combines a gripping plot and perceptive insights into human nature with delicate lyricism.

        Philosophy in the Renaissance

        An Anthology

        by Paul Richard Blum, James G. Snyder

        The Renaissance was a period of great intellectual change and innovation as philosophers rediscovered the philosophy of classical antiquity and passed it on to the modern age. Renaissance philosophy is distinct both from the medieval scholasticism, based on revelation and authority, and from philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who transformed it into new philosophical systems. Despite the importance of the Renaissance to the development of philosophy over time, it has remained largely understudied by historians of philosophy and professional philosophers. This anthology aims to correct this by providing scholars and students of philosophy with representative translations of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance. Its purpose is to help readers appreciate philosophy in the Renaissance and its importance in the history of philosophy. The anthology includes translations from philosophers from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries, and it ranges from works on moral and political philosophy, to metaphysics, epistemology, and natural philosophy, thereby providing historians and students of philosophy with a sense for the nature, breadth, and complexity of philosophy in the Renaissance. Each translation is accompanied by an introduction by a historian of Renaissance philosophy, as well as select secondary sources, in order to encourage further study. This anthology is a companion to Philosophers of the Renaissance, edited by Paul Richard Blum and published by Catholic University of America Press in 2010, which included essays on the writings of the same group of philosophers of the Renaissance: Raymond Llull, Gemistos Plethon, George of Trebizond, Basil Bessarion, Lorenzo Valla, Nicholas of Cusa, Leon Battista Alberti, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Marsilio Ficino, Pietro Pomponazzi, Niccolò Machiavelli, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, Juan Luis Vives, Philipp Melanchthon, Petrus Ramus, Bernardino Telesio, Jacopo Zabarella, Michel de Montaigne, Francesco Patrizi, Giordano Bruno, Francisco Suàrez, Tommaso Campanella.

        Cajetan on Sacred Doctrine

        by Hieromonk Gregory Hrynkiw, Andrew, OP Hofer

        Cardinal Tommaso de Vio (1469-1534), commonly known as Cajetan, remains a misunderstood figure. Cajetan on Sacred Doctrine is the first ever monograph on Cajetan as a theologian in his own right, and it fills an immense lacuna in the debate on the nature of sacred doctrine from the Thomism of the Renaissance. Confirming Cajetan as a key protagonist within the emergent Reformation, this work delivers an indispensable immersion into his theological method in relation to his closest predecessors and contemporaries: Hervaeus Natalis, Blessed Duns Scotus, Gregory of Rimini, Johannes Capreolus, Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio, Martin Luther, and others. The first ever commentary on St. Thomas Aquinas’s entire Summa Theologiae was published by Cajetan. This monograph focuses primarily on the Summa Theologiae Ia pars, question 1, concerning sacred doctrine, and how Cajetan unpacks the potency of Aquinas’s opening syllogism, setting forth a coherent division of the question, and ultimately touching the mind of Aquinas when revealing the articles of the Apostles’ Creed as the Summa Theologiae’s macrostructure. Finally, we are shown how Cajetan emphasizes the essential link between ecclesiology and the communication of sacred doctrine, especially the papacy’s role in guaranteeing the proposal and explication of the faith. Cajetan’s accomplishments as a biblical exegete established him as a renowned Renaissance scholar and a forerunner of future ecumenical dialogue. Furthermore, his grasp of theology’s perennial properties continue to make him an important interlocutor in the renewed quest for a unity in theology in an ever more fragmented aggregation of theologies. Cajetan’s theological labor is a perpetuation of the via antiqua, a biblical-theological worldview handed down through Tradition. St. Gregory the Theologian (329-390), the via antiqua’s preeminent Eastern representative and chief theological constructor of Christendom, offers the monograph’s author--himself a Byzantine Hieromonk--a prime opportunity for a few closing insights on the innate symphony between two very distant periods and distinct theological traditions within the one ecumenical Church.
