Sommario/riassunto

This textbook explains the fundamental aspects of nanotechnology and fills the gap between bio-inspired nanotechnological systems and functionality of living organisms, introducing new insights to their physicochemical, biophysical and thermodynamic behaviour. Addressed to all those involved in recent advances in pharmaceutics, this book is divided in three major parts: Part A refers to the physicochemical and thermodynamics aspects of nanosystems, wherein their biophysical behaviour is correlated with that of the cells of living organisms; Part B refers to the application of nanotechnology in imaging, diagnostics and therapeutics; Part C is focused on issues regarding safety and nanotoxicity of nanosystems, and the regulatory framework that surrounds these. The text promotes the concept that biophysics,



thermodynamics and nanotechnology are considered to be emerging tools that, when approached within regulatory boundaries, provide new and integrated knowledge for the production of new medicines.

Sommario/riassunto

This book illustrates the history of the Library of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Florence, tracing it from the origins up to the present: "from the pen to the computer", against the backdrop of Florence from unification to the threshold of the third millennium. The Library is inserted in the historic and geographical context in which it emerged, with references to the political and economic situation of Tuscany starting from the end of the Grand Duchy.
