The first deals with machinery and methods and endeavours to give as full and detailed a survey as is possible of the various government organs directing and controlling political warfare, the structure of the Japanese press, the organisation of Japanese broadcasting, the functioning of censorship, and the extent to which education, science, literature, the arts and the cinema are being employed for purposes of propaganda, both in the Japanese homeland and in the wider area of the conquered empire... The second part deals... with the aims and policies of Japanese propaganda, and attempts to give an outline of the way in which the machinery, sketched in the first part, is being operated." - from introduction.

[Madonna del parto Monterchi] (17x24), pp. 168. I "depositi della memoria antropologica" ci parlano qui di quei valori, di quei "segni" delle antiche culture contadine, ecclissatisi con straordinaria velocità. L'immaginario e la realtà della cultura agropastorale, di tempi abbastanza vicini, sono già adesso i lontani racconti dell'uomo e della donna, della puerpera e del bifolco, della sterile e dell'affamato. L¿autore, con la collaborazione dell'Istituto Studi e Ricerche sulla Civiltà Appenninica di Sestino (Arezzo), ha qui raccolto pazientemente "liturgie", punti nodali, quadri di vita, atteggiamenti, rapporti sociali anche soprannaturali, caduti ormai nell'oblio, ma registrati dai più ansiani nell'archeologia della memoria. Superstizione e magia, non di rado intrecciate con la religione, fortemente radicate, riescono ancora a resistere anche se un po'sopite. Primaria la figura femminile. La sua fertilità e maternità erano la ricchezza di quel mondo. Le terre di Piero, quindi della "Madonna del Parto", simbolo di tutte le donne, segnate da acque salutari e lustrali, da pietre galattofore, da località sacralizzate erano pervase da una evidente cultura femminile. Lei, la donna, perpetuazione della vita, quindi "benedizione", "legame protettivo", "economia"
[Treno-Roma] (17x24), pp. 154, ill. b.n. L¿autore, è noto al lettore di questa collana per avere scritto: - In treno da Roma a Firenze - La ferrovia da Verona a Monaco di Baviera. Con il grado di dirigente generale, è stato per otto anni, dal 1980 al 1988, direttore del Compartimento delle Ferrovie dello Stato di Roma, il più importante dei quindici Compartimenti in cui era divisa la rete ferroviaria italiana che comprendeva le linee insistenti oltre che sul territorio della Regione Lazio in parte anche su quello delle Regioni Toscana, Umbria, Abruzzo e Campania. L¿esperienza acquisita nei lunghi anni di tale dirigenza gli ha permesso il racconto storico di come sono venuti a formarsi nel tempo gli itinerari affluenti alla città di Roma, ma soprattutto di esaminare le difficoltà incontrate per il loro inserimento nel nodo ferroviario. La narrazione investe la storia delle stazioni del nodo ma soprattutto quella di Roma Termini. Nel racconto si inserisce il collegamento con la Città del Vaticano, e quello con l¿aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci a Fiumicino, del quale vengono narrate la storia e le vicissitudini che hanno coinvolto non solo le Ferrovie dello Stato, ma anche la Regione Lazio ed il Comune di Roma. Delle vicende vissute in prima persona viene descritto il lato umano dato alle stesse dai ferrovieri del tempo che ne sono stati sempre i veri protagonisti. Così infatti si esprime l¿autore :¿.mi auguro che il lettore gradisca la lettura di quest¿opera come ha gradito le due precedenti. Essa costituisce, con le altre due, il completamento della descrizione di parte, se pur modesta, della storia centenaria ferroviaria, quella parte cui fanno riferimento gli anni che, insieme ad amici, colleghi, collaboratori e dipendenti abbiamo di recente vissuto da protagonisti. Questi protagonisti, io li ringrazio tutti, nessuno escluso per i suggerimenti ed i consigli.Tutti insieme abbiamo infatti contribuito all¿ammodernamento in corso della rete ferroviaria nazionale del quale godrà la generazione che ci segue.

2002TULLIO PIRONTI 2002 681 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO FRONTE RETRO IN COPERTINA, PER IL RESTO OTTIMO. Michel Zévaco (Ajaccio, 1º febbraio 1860, Eaubonne, 8 agosto 1918) è stato un romanziere, insegnante, giornalista, editore e attivista anarchico francese. Degno successore di Alexandre Dumas, Michel Zévaco, popolarissimo autore di feuilletons a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, ci offre con Nostradamus, il primo romanzo del ciclo da lui dedicato alla figura del celebre autore delle profetiche Centurie. L'Autore dipinge il ritratto, cupo e sanguinoso, della Francia di Caterina de' Medici, delle guerre di religione, della caccia alle streghe. In un susseguirsi di duelli, agguati notturni, rapimenti, magie, evocazione di morti, prende corpo la trama della ventennale vendetta, con cui l'ormai anziano Nostradamus vuol punire coloro che gli hanno rovinato la giovinezza e sottratto Marie, la giovane sposa: re Enrico II di Valois, e i suoi infidi amici, Roncherolles e Saint-André. Recentemente ristampato in Francia dalla casa editrice Laffont, il romanzo ha riscosso un enorme successo.
