Sommario/riassunto

Dealing with stormwater runoff in urban areas is a problem that is getting bigger and more expensive. As we cover porous surfaces with impervious structures-commercial buildings, parking lots, roads, and houses-finding places for rainwater and snowmelt to soak in becomes

Many landscapers, architects, planners, and others have proposed that the use of ""green"" localized management practices, such as rain gardens and bio-swales, may function as well as traditional ""gray"" pipes and basins at reducing the effects of stormwater runoff, and do so in a way that is more attractive in the

Sommario/riassunto

This publication on Greek art gathers a large number of studies presented at the International Congress 'Greek Art in Motion'. Held in honour of Sir John Boardman's 90th birthday, the congress took place at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, 3-5 May, 2017. The volume first presents eight contributions by the keynote speakers who, as friends and students of Sir John, present a debate and a problematisation of Greek Art from the archaeological and historical point of view. Thereafter, 45 papers are divided into the different themes considered during the congress, all of which have greatly benefited from Sir John's researches throughout his long and distinguished academic career: Sculpture, Architecture, Terracotta and Metal, Greek Pottery, Coins, Greek History and Archaeology, Greeks Overseas, Reception and Collecting, Art and Myth.
