However, the evolution of technologies and diagnostic systems for immunohaematology, especially in recent decades, has been very intense and fast, and today the transfusional process, from the donation of blood until the transfusion of the patient, is perfectly controlled. This volume aims to highlight the main critical moments in which the operator must pay close attention, and at the same time offers the cultural, organizational and instrumental means for error prevention.

"O that fine octagonal face of his--the great dark thoughtful eyes--the straight broad nose pointed at its low tip--the wide firm mouth with its full lower lip, curbed by the very thin bow of the upper--the very square strong jaw--the expression insolent because modest, imperious because shy, --but a face which could smile. And O the robust and generous young form, noble and opulent in contour--the ardent force restrained of him. To me, from the beginning, he was something apart, an individual whom one must either abhor, or adore--nothing else--and, as I saw him close for the first time, staring at him quite unreservedly, I knew what my feelings were."
Here, presented for the first time in paperback format, is Amico di Sandro, the unfinished novel by Frederick Rolfe, a.k.a. Baron Corvo, dealing with the rambunctious life of Sandro Botticelli.
An eccentric tale of art and Renaissance times for the connoisseur.
: Carmel Borg, Sandro Caruana : Social Class, Language and Power: `Letter to a Teacher`: Lorenzo Milani and the School of Barbiana ISBN: 9462094772 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789462094772 : Brill : : 51800.00 T : . : This book foregrounds the ideas of an important European pedagogue whose writings provide insights for a critical social justice oriented approach to education. Lorenzo Milani has all the credentials to be regarded as potentially a key source of inspiration for critical pedagogy. Milanis approach to education for social justice gives importance to a number of issues, notably social class issues, race issues especially with his critique of North-South relations and cultural/technological transfer, the collective dimension of learning and action (emphasis is placed on reading and writing the word and the world collectively), student-teachers and teacher-students (a remarkable form of peer tutoring), reading and responding critically to the media (newspapers), the existential basis of ones learning (from the occasional to the profound motive) and the fusion of academic and technical knowledge. There is also an anti-war pedagogy that emerges from his defence of the right to conscientious objection with its process of reading/teaching history against the grain.

Contributors to this issue approach the October 1917 Russian Revolution and the experiments of the revolutionary period as events that opened new possibilities for politics that remain vital one hundred years later. The essays highlight how those events not only affected Russia and Europe but led to the emergence of a new political image of the world and a profound rethinking of Marxist traditions. This issue globalizes the 1917 revolution, emphasizing its echoes throughout the world and the parallel development of political possibilities beyond Russia. Topics include the Soviets from the revolution to the present, the impact of the revolution in Latin America, the work of the legal theorist Evgeny Pashukanis analyzed through the lens of the revolution, anarchist imaginaries, and the historicizing of communism.

In The Politics of Operations Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate how capital reshapes its relation with politics through operations that enable the extraction and exploitation of mineral resources, labor, data, and cultures. They show how capital—which they theorize as a direct political actor—operates through the logistical organization of relations between people, property, and objects as well as through the penetration of financialization into all realms of economic life. Mezzadra and Neilson present a capacious analysis of a wide range of issues, from racial capitalism, the convergence of neoliberalism and nationalism, and Marx's concept of aggregate capital to thefinancial crisis of 2008 and how colonialism, empire, and globalization have shaped the modern state since World War II. In so doing, they illustrate the distinctive rationality and logics of contemporary capitalism while calling for a politics based on collective institutions that exist outside the state.
: Galea Sandro : Well: What We Need to Talk about When We Talk about Health ISBN: 0190916834 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190916831 : Oxford Academ : : 27450.00 T : . : A deeply affecting work from one of the important and innovative voices in American health and medicine. -- Arianna Huffington In Well, physician Sandro Galea examines what Americans miss when they fixate on healthcare: health. Americans spend more money on health than people anywhere else in the world. And what do they get for it? Statistically, not much. Americans today live shorter, less healthy lives than citizens of other rich countries, and these trends show no signs of letting up. The problem, Sandro Galea argues, is that Americans focus on the wrong things when they think about health. Our national understanding of what constitutes being well is centered on medicine -- the lifestyles we adopt to stay healthy, and the insurance plans and prescriptions we fall back on when we're not. While all these things are important, they've not proven to be the difference between healthy and unhealthy on the large scale. Well is a radical examination of the subtle and not-so-subtle factors that determine who gets to be healthy in America. Galea shows how the country's failing health is a product of American history and character -- and how refocusing on our national health can usher enlightenment across American life and politics.
