• Sommario/riassunto: Despite of many years of studies, predicting fluid flow, heat, and chemical transport in fractured-porous media remains a challenge for scientists and engineers worldwide. This monograph is the third in a series on the dynamics of fluids and transport in fractured rock published by the American Geophysical Union (Geophysical Monograph Series, Vol. 162, 2005; and Geophysical Monograph, No. 122, 2000). This monograph is dedicated to the late Dr. Paul Witherspoon for his seminal influence on the development of ideas and methodologies and the birth of contemporary fractured rock hydrogeology, in

• Sommario/riassunto: Questo volume ricostruisce le vicende della libreria privata del marchese suddecano Gabriello Riccardi (1705-1798), che alla fine del suo sviluppo confluirà e si fonderà con quella della Famiglia, oggi nota come Biblioteca Riccardiana. La ricerca si è concentrata in particolare sul fondo manoscritti, che ne costituiva decisamente la parte più rilevante e preziosa. Il risultato finale del presente studio ha prodotto sia un catalogo topografico, che ricostruisce la disposizione fisica che tali manoscritti avevano nella loro sede originaria, sia un catalogo alfabetico, secondo l{u2019}originale settecentesco. Nel saggio storico si evidenziano infine le vicende che hanno portato questa celebre libreria, ormai unificata per volontà di Gabriello, a salvarsi dalla dispersione e a rimanere intatta quale noi oggi la conosciamo.
