br. Laddove le frontiere non delimitano nazioni, nascono instabilità croniche che inaspriscono conflitti e miseria. L'ex Jugoslavia, i Paesi del Sahel, l'Afghanistan e la Siria sono solo alcuni esempi. Malcolm, Laji, Hamid e Mohammed, protagonisti delle quattro conversazioni, ripercorreranno i drammatici eventi che hanno caratterizzato la storia di questi Paesi. Attraverso le loro visionarie congetture, tracceranno nuove linee di confine, ristabilendo l'identità di quei popoli soggiogati dai vincitori della Grande Guerra, sventrati dal colonialismo ottocentesco o smembrati dall'imperialismo britannico. Un viaggio fatto di parole per revisionare i confini e, infine, ritrovare le nazioni.

ill., br. Agilità, velocità e destrezza sono caratteristiche che si esprimono al massimo nel border collie, cane sempre "sopra le righe", nei pregi e nei difetti. È quindi particolarmente importante, per chi vuole un border come amico, comprendere a fondo le caratteristiche della razza. Tra i cani da pastore, il border collie è la seconda razza più diffusa in Italia, dopo il pastore tedesco. È particolarmente adatto a chi fa una vita molto attiva e dedica tempo alle passeggiate e allo sport all'aperto. Questa guida vi aiuta a scegliere il vostro cucciolo, a educarlo e allevarlo nel migliore dei modi. Inoltre, fornisce preziosi consigli sull'igiene e la cura del mantello, vero tratto distintivo di questo splendido cane.

Original priced dust jacket, lightly rubbed at extremities. Insert card with compliments of the publisher. Ben Thompson (1843-1884) was a gunman, gambler, and sometime lawman of the Old West. He was a contemporary of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill Cody, Doc Holliday, John Wesley Hardin and James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock. Thompson had a colorful career, fighting with the Confederates during the Civil War, and in Mexico under the Emperor, before being imprisoned at the age of 25 for severely injuring his brother-in-law, who had physically abused Thompson's wife. After his release, Thompson made his name as a gunman and a gambler in Texas and Kansas. After he was hired in 1881 as Marshal in Austin, Texas, the crime rate dropped sharply during his term. He was murdered at the age of 40 in San Antonio on March 11, 1884 during the Vaudeville Theater Ambush. Adams. Six Guns #2154. Hardbound. Very good. Scarce original edition. W8RtFront

ill., ril. Esistono 323 frontiere terrestri su circa 250.000 km. Aggiungendo le frontiere marittime, delimitate o meno, si arriva a un totale di circa 750 frontiere tra Stati. Alcune si attraversano facilmente, altre sono invalicabili, alcune sono visibili, altre invisibili (aeree, astronomiche). Ma esistono anche frontiere immaginarie o arbitrarie: politiche, economiche, culturali (lingua, religione, civiltà) che quasi mai coincidono con le frontiere internazionali. Quali sono le frontiere esterne dell'Europa: quelle dello spazio Schengen, quelle dell'Unione Europea o quelle dell'Europa in quanto idea o concetto? Le tre non si sovrappongono. Si possono tracciare linee di separazione tra grandi aree culturali? Dove comincia l'Asia? Qual è la frontiera più militarizzata? Qual è il muro di difesa più lungo? E il reticolato più alto? Come si determinano le frontiere aeree? Ci sono ancora "zone bianche", le terrae nullius che non appartengono a nessuno? Il cambiamento climatico può modificare certe frontiere esistenti? Le frontiere favoriscono la pace o sono foriere di guerre? Questo Atlante dedicato alle frontiere ci aiuta a capire le sfide che si nascondono dietro queste linee che dividono o uniscono i popoli. Con più di 40 cartine e infografiche originali, gli autori raccontano il mondo attraverso il prisma delle frontiere.
