From the blurb: "Un mondo che si considera prospero e civile, segnato da disuguaglianze e squilibri al suo interno, ma forte di unamministrazione stabile e di uneconomia integrata; allesterno, popoli costretti a sopravvivere, minacciati dalla fame e dalla guerra, e che sempre più spesso chiedono di entrare; una frontiera militarizzata per filtrare profughi e immigrati; e autorità di governo che debbono decidere volta per volta il comportamento da tenere verso queste emergenze. Potrebbe sembrare una descrizione del nostro mondo, e invece è la situazione in cui si trovò per secoli limpero romano di fronte ai barbari."

Shire, 2008 8vo (21 cm), 32 pp. Printed wrappers. "Many people consult a barometer before going out, to see what the weather is likely to be. Barometers measure the general pressure of the atmosphere, which changes with the weather: falling pressure generally heralds rain; rising pressure predicts fine weather. The simple mercury barometer originated in seventeenth century Italy and was soon copied in France and Britain. In the nineteenth century demand increased for domestic and scientific barometers. They were needed for weather forecasting, and surveyors carried them to measure height above sea level. Since 1850, mercury barometers have been gradually ousted by aneroids, which are smaller and more robust but nowadays equally accurate." (from the blurb)

It is April, 1204, and Constantinople, the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by the knights of the fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, one Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors, and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story. Born a simple peasant in northern Italy, Baudolino has two major gifts - a talent for learning foreign languages and skill in telling lies. One day, when still a boy, he met a foreign commander in the woods, charming him with his quick wit and lively mind. The commander - who proves to be the emperor Frederick Barbarossa - adopts Baudolino and sends him to the university in Paris, where he makes a number of fearless,… Read More

The principal artist of the leading Parisian workshop in which it was produced takes his name, the 'Bedford Master' from his English patron.

He also sheds light on some of the personalities behind the science, offering first-hand impressions of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Stephen Hawking, John Archibald Wheeler, and Fred Hoyle, among others.With stunning clarity, Professor Rees argues that a family--even an infinity--of universes may have been created, each by its own big bang, and each acquiring a distinctive imprint and its own laws of physics."

Oxford University Press, 2010 8vo (21.5 cm), VII, 327 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj little rubbed at extremities).
