Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A noir writer richly deserving rediscovery." —Publishers Weekly The book that gave birth to Italian noir . . . Milan, 1966: When Dr. Duca Lamberti is released from prison, he’s lost his medical license and his options are few. But thanks to an old connection, he lands a job, although it’s a tricky one: guarding the alcoholic son of a plastics millionaire. But Lamberti soon discovers that the young man has a terrible secret, rooted in the mysterious death of a beautiful woman on the gritty side of town. The fast cars, high fashion, and chic nightclubs of glitzy and swinging Milan conceal a dirty reality . . . This is no dolce vita. A Private Venus marks the beginning of Italian noir: Giorgio Scerbanenco pioneered a new type of novel that trained its gaze on the crime and desperation that roiled under prosperous Italian society in the 1960s. And at the heart of this book is Duca Lamberti, an unforgettable protagonist: obsessive, world-weary, unconventional in his methods, and trying hard not to make another fatal mistake. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the first study in the English language to focus specifically on Italian crime fiction, weaving together a historical perspective and a thematic approach, with a particular focus on the representation of space, especially city space, gender, and the tradition of impegno, the social and political engagement which characterised the Italian cultural and literary scene in the postwar period. The 8 chapters in this volume explore the distinctive features of the Italian tradition from the 1930s to the present, by focusing on a wide range of detective and crime novels by selected Italian writers, some of whom have an established international reputation, such as C. E. Gadda, L. Sciascia and U. Eco, whilst others may be relatively unknown, such as the new generation of crime writers of the Bologna school and Italian women crime writers. Each chapter examines a specific period, movement or group of writers, as well as engaging with broader debates over the contribution crime fiction makes more generally to contemporary Italian and European culture. The editor and contributors of this volume argue strongly in favour of reinstating crime fiction within the canon of Italian modern literature by presenting this once marginalised literary genre as a body of works which, when viewed without the artificial distinction between high and popular literature, shows a remarkable insight into Italy’s postwar history, tracking its societal and political troubles and changes as well as often also engaging with metaphorical and philosophical notions of right or wrong, evil, redemption, and the search of the self.

This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new issue of Women’s Rights International Studies on Gender e-book returns after two years suspended due to the difficulties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Inline to listen to the voices of academics from developing and developed countries, this third volume investigates crisis and pandemic effects spread across the world since the beginning of 2020 on women’s lives. In this edition, Professor Chiquita Howard-Bostic integrates the edition responsibilities with professors Monica Sapucaia Machado and Denise Almeida de Andrade to expand the horizons of the studies, both in terms of regionality, Professor Howard-Bostic is American, and Professors Machado and Andrade are Brazilian, as of the focus, in the mixture of sociology and law. The e-book has contributions from professors from Spain, Belgium, India, the United States and Brazil. The piece begins with the debate on the normative force of international conventions for the protection of women´s rights, in a paper by Felipe Gómez Isa; advances to the analysis of domestic violence and the misogynist discourses in the pandemic period, in research carried out by Denise Andrade in partnership with Carolina Hannud and Thais Souza; and the third article addresses the dismantling of access to sexual and reproductive rights in a pandemic period, in the brave work of Rachel Hammonds. In the fourth chapter, the ebook presents the translation into English of the crucial writing of Hildete Pereira de Melo, Lucilene Morandi and Ruth Helena Dweck on the need to insert the social indicator of unpaid work as a satellite account in the Brazilian aid system. This article is due to the conceptual and methodological importance of gender data in Brazil and the world. The work continues with examining women’s situation in disaster conditions in a composition by Monica Machado and Karina Denari. Advances to the understanding of climate change and gender from the Indian legal framework, in the vital research of Stellina Jolly and Makina Kamthan and leads, in the 7° article, to the question of the discourse on the memory of women’s rights and the effect of this recollection for other women, in a paper by Débora Massmann and Patrícia Massmann. Finally, the e-book ends with an essay by Nadejda Marques on how inclusion, equity, and safety net approaches should guide policies to combat the devastation of rights caused by Covid-19 in women’s lives. With this seam that permeates themes, regions, and areas of knowledge, this e-book proposes to contribute to the construction of the academic and social debate on how crises dismantle the few rights conquered by women and what are the ways to rebuild these rights and guarantee that in the subsequent health, economic, social, and environmental crisis, women will not be the most affected again. We hope this effort will encourage more people to think about gender equality and we look forward to our fourth volume bringing better news about the situation of women in the world.

Download or read book Twentieth-Century Crime Fiction written by Lee Horsley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-Century Crime Fiction aims to enhance understanding of one of the most popular forms of genre fiction by examining a wide variety of the detective and crime fiction produced in Britain and America during the twentieth century. It will be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading crime fiction but is specifically designed with the needs of students in mind. It introduces different theoretical approaches to crime fiction (e.g., formalist, historicist, psychoanalytic, postcolonial, feminist) and will be a useful supplement to a range of crime fiction courses, whether they focus on historical contexts, ideological shifts, the emergence of sub-genres, or the application of critical theories. Forty-seven widely available stories and novels are chosen for detailed discussion. In seeking to illuminate the relationship between different phases of generic development Lee Horsley employs an overlapping historical framework, with sections doubling back chronologically in order to explore the extent to which successive transformations have their roots within the earlier phases of crime writing, as well as responding in complex ways to the preoccupations and anxieties of their own eras. The first part of the study considers the nature and evolution of the main sub-genres of crime fiction: the classic and hard-boiled strands of detective fiction, the non-investigative crime novel (centred on transgressors or victims), and the 'mixed' form of the police procedural. The second half of the study examines the ways in which writers have used crime fiction as a vehicle for socio-political critique. These chapters consider the evolution of committed, oppositional strategies, tracing the development of politicized detective and crime fiction, from Depression-era protests against economic injustice to more recent decades which have seen writers launching protests against ecological crimes, rampant consumerism, Reaganomics, racism, and sexism.

Download or read book Animal Breeding and Genetics written by Carin Fisker and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the very early days human beings depend on animals and animal products for food and other requirements. In dairy and poultry farms high yielding animals are reared. These high yielding animals are produced by hybridization experiments. Previously the animals were developed basing on unscientific methods. Before the discovery of principles of heredity human beings have selected the animals with required characters and learned to develop the plants having the selected characters. This phenomenon is called Artificial selection. However, an increased knowledge of biology, especially genetics, has helped in improving the quality of animals and animal products as per the human requirements. The revolution in genetic mapping technology and the advent of whole genome sequences have turned quantitative genetics into one of the fastest growing areas of biology. The animal breeding and genetics provide new scientific discoveries to age-old livestock production problems to help producers and consumers. Animal breeding addresses the evaluation of the genetic value of livestock. Selecting for breeding animals with superior EBV in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or with other desirable traits has revolutionized livestock production throughout the world. The scientific theory of animal breeding incorporates population genetics, quantitative genetics, statistics, and recently molecular genomics. The book animal breeding and genetics encompasses topics such as genetic variability, genetic testing, and animal breeding focuses on various aspects of animal heredity, or the passing of traits from one generation to the next. It is of valuable tool for students, researchers, professors and a variety of employers, including government agencies, zoos, and food producers.

Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the most beneficial technological development of the twenty-first century.Media hype and raised expectations for results, however, have clouded understanding of the true nature of AI—including its limitations and potential. AI at War provides a balanced and practical understanding of applying AI to national security and warfighting professionals as well as a wide array of other readers. Although the themes and findings of the chapters are relevant across the U.S. Department of Defense, to include all Services, the Joint Staff and defense agencies as well as allied and partner ministries of defense, this book is a case study of warfighting functions in the Naval Services—the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Sam J. Tangredi and George Galdorisi bring together over thirty experts, ranging from former DOD officials and retired flag officers to scientists and active duty junior officers. These contributors present views on a vast spectrum of subjects pertaining to the implementation of AI in modern warfare, including strategy, policy, doctrine, weapons, and ethical concerns.
