Sommario/riassunto |
|
Turn on the faucet, and water pours out. Pull out the drain plug, and the dirty water disappears. Most of us give little thought to the hidden systems that bring us water and take it away when we're done with it. But these underappreciated marvels of engineering face an array of challenges that cannot be solved without a fundamental change to our relationship with water, David Sedlak explains in this enlightening book. To make informed decisions about the future, we need to understand the three revolutions in urban water systems that have occurred over the past 2,500 years and the technologies that will remake the system. The author starts by describing Water 1.0, the early |

Roman aqueducts, fountains, and sewers that made dense urban living feasible. He then details the development of drinking water and sewage treatment systems-the second and third revolutions in urban water. He offers an insider's look at current systems that rely on reservoirs, underground pipe networks, treatment plants, and storm sewers to provide water that is safe to drink, before addressing how these water systems will have to be reinvented. For everyone who cares about reliable, clean, abundant water, this book is essential reading. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book investigates how language identities are created and represented in animated films, and how they are tackled by dubbing professionals in Italy. The author describes how language variation and varieties contribute to building the language identities of characters in several popular Anglo-American animated films, and analyses how these linguistic characterisations are transposed into Italian. Drawing on a corpus of 30 films produced by Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, 20th Century Fox and Sony, the book examines linguistic norms, conventions and stereotypes and highlights issues of creativity in translation. It is the first book in English entirely devoted to the translation of animated feature films, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of translation, linguistic variation, film and media. Vincenza Minutella is a researcher and Aggregate Professor in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures and Modern Cultures at the University of Turin, Italy. . |
