Bücher von Sergio Rossi

This book focuses, in seven chapters, on the perspectives and solutions that different research groups offer to try to address problems related to SDG 14: Life Below Water. The different objectives developed in SDG 14 are treated independently, with an attempt to give a global vision of the issues. The mechanism used to select the book's content was through an Artificial Intelligence program, choosing articles related to the topics by means of keywords. The program selected those articles, and those that were not related to the topic or did not focus on SDG 14 were discarded by a subject matter expert. Obviously, the selection was partial and the entire subject is not covered, but the final product gives a very solid idea of how to orient ourselves to delve deeper into the topic of SDG 14 using published chapters and articles. The AI program itself selected the text of these contributions to show the progress in different topics related to SDG 14. This mode of operation will allow specialists (and non-specialists) to collect useful information for their specific research purposes in a short period of time. At a time when information is essential in order to move quickly by providing concrete answers to complex problems, this type of approach will become essential for researchers, especially for a subject as vast as SDG 14.

Edward Hopper und sein tiefer Blick in die amerikanische SeeleKaum ein anderer amerikanischer Maler des 20. Jahrhunderts wird so häufig in Filmen, Büchern und Comics zitiert wie Edward Hopper. Seine Gemälde zeigen einsame Menschen, wie sie alleine in Bars sitzen oder versonnen aus dem Fenster starren. Damit lösen sie ein Kopfkino sondergleichen aus.Diese Graphic Novel ist eine Reise in die Bildwelt Hoppers: von seinem Debüt als Maler und Illustrator in New York zu Beginn des Jahres 1900 bis zu seinen großen künstlerischen Erfolgen. Eine Karriere, die ohne Josephine "Jo" Nivison so nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Sie war Hoppers Modell, Vertraute, Agentin und lebenslange Gefährtin, sowohl im Leben als auch in der Kunst.- Eine bahnbrechende Graphic Novel über einen beliebtesten Maler der Welt- Illustrationen, die den markanten Mal-Stil Hoppers aufgreifen- Ein faszinierendes und schonungsloses Porträt des Ausnahme-Künstlers - Worin bestand seine scharfe Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft?- Wie war seine Beziehung zur Künstlerin Jo, Hoppers Muse und Ehefrau?Kult-Figur der amerikanischen Malerei: So entstanden Hoppers BilderNighthawks, House by the Railroad, ChopSuey, HotelRoom, Gas oder Office at Night: Auf den ersten Blick verkörpert seine Kunst den "American Way of Life". Hopper fängt die amerikanische Kultur mit all ihren Licht- und Schattenseiten ein. Doch die Wahl der Bildmotive und insbesondere die Lichtführung zeigen, wie sehr er sich mit den europäischen Meistern und dem französischen Impressionismus auseinandergesetzt hat. Mit dieser Comic-Biografie wird beides sichtbar - das private Leben Edward Hoppers genauso wie das, was seine Bilder zu ikonischen Werken des amerikanischen Realismus macht!

Having always been fascinated by these singular landscapes, Sergio Rossi reconstructs some of the episodes that have marked the exploration of these territories, such as the dramatic race between Amundsen and Scott to conquer the South Pole, and Captain Shackleton's odyssey to save his crew from certain death.

What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked, question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans.The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience, offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state of equilibrium.
