Paludisme, fièvre jaune, dengue, chikungunya, fièvre de la Vallée du Nil, filariose... Toutes ces maladies, souvent mortelles, sont transmises à l'homme par les moustiques. Ces derniers profitent du formidable développement des transports et de la mobilité toujours plus rapide des populations pour se propager sur la planète. Aujourd'hui, les villes sont devenues de véritables refuges à moustiques tandis que, dans les campagnes, l'usage combiné des engrais et des pesticides favorise – paradoxalement – leur prolifération. À travers l'histoire des relations ancestrales de l'homme et du moustique et grâce à la synthèse de travaux de recherche réalisés en laboratoire et sur le terrain, cet ouvrage révèle les causes de l'inexorable pullulation de cet insecte et présente les méthodes de lutte que l'homme lui oppose depuis déjà plusieurs siècles. Face à cette menace plus que jamais présente, l'auteur propose aussi des stratégies innovantes, en insistant sur l'urgence d'une politique concertée dans les domaines de la santé publique et de l'agriculture. |

Overlooking Lago di Orta in the foothills of the Northern Italian Alps, the Renaissance-era Sacro Monte di Orta (a UNESCO World Heritage site) is spectacle and hagiography, theme park and treatise. Sacro Monte di Orta is a sacred mountain complex that extolls the life of St. Francis of Assisi through fresco, statuary, and built environment. Descending from the vision of the 16th-century Archbishop Carlo Borromeo, the design and execution of the chapels express the Catholic Church's desire to define, or, perhaps redefine itself for a transforming Christian diaspora. And in the struggle to provide a spiritual and geographical front against the spread of Protestantism into the Italian peninsula, the Catholic Church mustered the most powerful weapon it had: the widely popular native Italian saint, Francis of Assisi.Sacred Views of Saint Francis: The Sacro Monte di Orta examines this important pilgrimage site where Francis is embraced as a ne plus ultra saint. The book delves into a pivotal moment in the life of the Catholic Church as revealed through the artistic program of the Sacro Monte's twenty-one chapels, providing a nuanced understanding of the role the site played in the Counter-Reformation.The Sacro Monte di Orta was, in its way, a new hagiographical text vital to post-Tridentine Italy. Sacred Views provides research and analysis of this popular, yet critically neglected Franciscan devotional site. Sacred |

Views is the first significant scholarly work on the Sacro Monte di Orta in English and one of the very few full-length treatments in any language. It includes a catalogue of artists, over one hundred photographs, maps, short essays on each chapel, and longer essays that examine some of the most significant chapels in greater detail. |
