ITALY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES
Landscapes, Natures, Ecologies
Edited by Serebella Iovino, Franco Cesaretti, Elena Past
Publisher: University of Viginia Press – Charlottesville, 2018
ISBN – 9780813941073 | 282 pp. | Prezzo: 32.50 US$
Bringing together new writing by some of the field’s most compelling voices from the United States and Europe, this is the first book to examine Italy–as a territory of both matter and imagination–through the lens of the environmental humanities. The contributors offer a wide spectrum of approaches–including ecocriticism, film studies, environmental history and sociology, eco-art, and animal and landscape studies–to move past cliché and reimagine Italy as a hybrid, plural, eloquent place. Among the topics investigated are post-seismic rubble and the stratifying geosocial layers of the Anthropocene, the landscape connections in the work of writers such as Calvino and Buzzati, the contaminated fields of the ecomafia’s trafficking, Slow Food’s gastronomy of liberation, poetic birds and historic forests, resident parasites, and nonhuman creatures.

NATURAL CAPITAL IN ITALY
Air, soil, water, forests. A heritage that needs preserving and enriching
Edited by Marco Moro
Publisher: Edizioni Ambiente – Milan, 2018
ISBN – 9788866272595 | 232 pp. | Prezzo: 19.90 €
A book supported by Ministero dell’Ambiente and Connect4Climate (World Bank)
Is Italy a rich country? If we think in terms of Natural Capital, then it would appear that Italy is one of the richest countries in the world. However, what exactly is Natural Capital and why is it useful to measure and quantify it? Taking inspiration from the data that each year is collected and elaborated by the Ministry of the Environment, this book guides us towards an understanding of what Natural Capital does for us, and what we can do to safeguard and even enrich it. An exploration that delves into the language of economics, natural sciences and the many forms of knowledge that have an unbreakable link to nature. It is truly surprising to learn what and how many these are.

TREE TIME
Exposition and catalog edited by Daniela Berta e Andrea Lerda
Publisher: Museo Nazionale della Montagna & L’Artistica Savigliano, 2019
128 pp. | Prezzo: 19.00 € | Bilingual edition italian / english
Tree Time condenses past experiences, present warnings and hopes for the future. The project developed its programmatic path by explicity drawing on a number of thematically significant moments from the past. The Tree Time exhibition stems from a need, now as back then, to respond to a pressing problem and a historical requirement to care for the vegetal universe. It it time, indeed, for fresh reflection on the concepts of tree care and health; time to re-cognise “the beneficial effects produced by forests in Hydraulic, Metereological, Hygienic, Social and Aesthetic terms”.
