Northcote, with his attractive engraved armorial bookplate "Christi crux est mea lux" ("The cross of Christ is my light") to each volume. Sir Stafford Henry Northcote (1818-1887), 1st Earl of Iddesleigh, was Secretary of State for India (1867), Chancellor of the Exchequer (1874-1880), and British Foreign Secretary (1886). His(?) bookmark, silken red, hand embroidered with the word "Faith", is loosely inserted in volume II. ~ TO THIS IS ADDED: Loosely inserted in this copy are 2 engraved prints, apparently collected by Northcote.

Bartaletti Fabrizio
Geografia. Teoria e prassi
br. Sconvolgimenti climatici, erosione delle risorse, mutamenti del quadro geopolitico, accelerazioni delle dinamiche socio-economiche e consistenza dei flussi migratori obbligano oggi a riscrivere i trattati di geografia generale. Fabrizio Bartaletti rimette mano al suo fortunato manuale del 2006 per accogliere e sistematizzare i risultati più recenti negli ambiti della disciplina maggiormente interessati dai cambiamenti in atto. Oltre ad arricchire la sintesi di storia del pensiero geografico con fonti primarie finora non tradotte in italiano, il libro fornisce le nozioni basilari di morfologia, idrografia e cartografia, e compie un esauriente giro d'orizzonte dell'intera geografia fisica e antropica, dalla geografia degli insediamenti a quella culturale, economica, politica. Un'attenzione specifica è riservata al rischio ambientale e al clima, con aggiornatissimi dati comparativi sull'andamento della temperatura mondiale negli ultimi 170 anni.

Bartolozzi Federico
Idea di nuovo sistema costruttivo in zona sismica
br. Il sistema costruttivo in zona sismica proposto si basa essenzialmente sulla considerazione che, interrompendo la solidarietà tra la costruzione e il complesso costituito dalla fondazione e dal terreno, si possa consentire, durante l'evento sismico, a quest'ultimo di traslare rigidamente rispetto alla costruzione, che rimane teoricamente immobile, ma in pratica pressoché ferma ed indeformata, sotto l'azione prevalente della forza peso. Oltre alla possibilità di un maggiore sviluppo in altezza della costruzione, il sistema presenta due altri rilevanti vantaggi: 1. consistente attenuazione del malessere psico-fisico indotto negli utenti della costruzione dall'evento sismico, per effetto della traslazione rigida del complesso fondazione-terreno rispetto alla costruzione; 2. facilità d'intervento di manutenzione sia degli appoggi mobili multidirezionali che dei collegamenti laterali. Anche se le risultanze teoriche e sperimentali sono ampiamente soddisfacenti nei limiti imposti dalle particolari condizioni in cui lo studio è stato eseguito, il sistema proposto continuerà ad essere una "idea", fintantoché studi più accurati, confortati da prove sperimentali via via più perfezionate, non ne avranno dimostrata inequivocabilmente la validità applicativa.

Elementi di topografia e trattamento delle osservazioni
brossura L'intento degli autori è di presentare un modo razionale per affrontate il rilevamento del territorio secondo un approccio classico, che distingue il rilievo planimetrico da quello altimetrico e si serve degli strumenti topografici classici, ovvero direttamente tridimensionale, effettuato con strumentazione satellitare GNSS. A compendio dei metodi di rilievo viene poi sviluppata una sezione dedicata alla cartografia, strumento essenziale per la gestione del territorio e dei progetti dell'Ingegneria Civile. Completa il testo una introduzione al calcolo della probabilità e al trattamento delle osservazioni con particolare riguardo al metodo dei minimi quadrati.
