La massoneria nelle due Sicilie. E i «fratelli» meridionali del '700 (9788849210293)

Alla proto-massoneria di tipo "operativo" si sovrappose nella Napoli del Settecento un istituto, introdotto da mercanti francesi di religione calvinista, che adottò il sistema "speculativo" dei Moderns inglesi. Di conseguenza iniziò, dalla metà del secolo in poi, un aspro conflitto tra le varie potenze estere per il predominio sulla "fratellanza" meridionale. Austria, Francia, Germania, Inghilterra e Paesi Bassi si affrontarono, senza esclusione di colpi, al fine di ottenere concreti e positivi risultati sull'economia e sulla politica delle Due Sicilie. Un gruppo di "fratelli" riuscì a sottrarsi ad ogni tentativo egemonico costituendo una Gran Loggia Nazionale, aristocratica, legittimista e spirituale. L'ostilità delle gerarchie ecclesiastiche e le persecuzioni delle autorità poliziesche crearono in numerosi membri delle varie Obbedienze massoniche del Regno di Napoli e Sicilia un sentimento profondamente anticuriale e antigovernativo. Mo

The Press Freedom Myth (9781785905445)

What does press freedom mean in a digital age? Do we have to live with fake news, hate speech and surveillance? Can we deal with these threats without bringing about the end of an open society? In a fast-moving narrative, Heawood moves from the birth of print to the rise of social media. He shows how the core ideas of press freedom emerged out of the upheavals of the seventeenth century, and argues that these ideas have outlived their sell-by date. Heawood draws on his unique experience as a journalist, campaigner and the founder of the UK's first independent press regulator. He describes his own crisis of faith as his commitment to absolute press freedom was rocked - first by phone hacking at the News of the World, and then by the rise of social media. Nonetheless, he argues powerfully against censorship, and instead sets out the five roles that democratic states should play to ensure that people get the best out of the media and mitigate the worst.

Measure, Integration & Real Analysis (9783030331429)

This open access textbook welcomes students into the fundamental theory of measure, integration, and real analysis. Focusing on an accessible approach, Axler lays the foundations for further study by promoting a deep understanding of key results. Content is carefully curated to suit a single course, or two-semester sequence of courses, creating a versatile entry point for graduate studies in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. Motivated by a brief review of Riemann integration and its deficiencies, the text begins by immersing students in the concepts of measure and integration. Lebesgue measure and abstract measures are developed together, with each providing key insight into the main ideas of the other approach. Lebesgue integration links into results such as the Lebesgue Differentiation Theorem. The development of products of abstract measures leads to Lebesgue measure on Rn. Chapters on Banach spaces, Lp spaces, and Hilbert spaces showcase major results such as the Hahn-Bana

Opium For The Masses : Harvesting Nature's Best Pain Medication (9781932595468)

Contrary to general belief, there is no federal law against growing P. somniferum.--Martha Stewart Living Regarded as 'God's own medicine, ' preparations of opium were as common in the Victorian medicine cabinet as aspirin is in ours. As late as 1915, pamphlets issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture were still mentioning opium poppies as a good cash crop for northern farmers. Well into this century, Russian, Greek, and Arab immigrants in America have used poppy-head tea as a mild sedative and a remedy for headaches, muscle pain, cough, and diarrhea. During the Civil War, gardeners in the South were encouraged to plant opium for the war effort, in order to ensure a supply of painkillers for the Confederate Army. What Hogshire has done is to excavate this vernacular knowledge and then publish it to the world--in how-to form, with recipes.-- Michael Pollan First published fifteen years ago, Opium for the Masses instantly became a national phenomenon. Michael Pollan wrote
