Sommario/riassunto

Dante's New Lives by Elisa Brilli and Giuliano Milani offers a detailed exploration of the life and works of the renowned Italian poet Dante Alighieri. The book delves into Dante's historical context, his literary contributions, and the complexities involved in interpreting his biographical information. It examines the intertwining of Dante's personal experiences with his literary creations, including his major work, the Commedia, as well as his minor works like Vita nova and De vulgari eloquentia. Through a synthesis of historical data and Dante's own writings, the authors aim to present a comprehensive narrative of his life, overcoming the challenges posed by limited archival resources. The book is intended for readers interested in Dante's life, literature, and the broader historical and cultural milieu of medieval Florence.

Sommario/riassunto

This book underscores the re-emergence of the ozone hole problem and deals with it in its current context of exacerbating global warming. It traces the history of the ozone hole from the stage of formation of the stratospheric ozone ‘layer’, millions of years ago, into the late 20th century when the anthropogenic destruction of that ozone was discovered. The chapters are written to bring the the reader up to the present day. Factors that influence stratospheric ozone are discussed and the ways to halt ozone depletion are cataloged. And more complex interrelationships are being discovered between ozone depletion and two other global concerns: climate change and ocean acidification. This book sheds light on the intricacy of the situation and its portants. The book will be useful to students and researchers looking for a current overview of the ozone hole problem.
