This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        Why Labelle Matters

        by Adele Bertei

        Performing as the Bluebelles in the 1960s, Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash wore bouffant wigs and chiffon dresses, and they harmonized vocals like many other girl groups of the era. After a decade on the Chitlin Circuit, however, they were ready to write their own material, change their name, and deliver--as Labelle--an electrifyingly celestial sound and styling that reached a crescendo with a legendary performance at the Metropolitan Opera House to celebrate the release of Nightbirds and its most well-known track, “Lady Marmalade.” In Why Labelle Matters, Adele Bertei tells the story of the group that sang the opening aria of Afrofuturism and proclaimed a new theology of musical liberation for women, people of color, and LGBTQ people across the globe.             With sumptuous and galactic costumes, genre-bending lyrics, and stratospheric vocals, Labelle’s out-of-this-world performances changed the course of pop music and made them the first Black group to grace the cover of Rolling Stone. Why Labelle Matters, informed by interviews with members of the group as well as Bertei’s own experience as a groundbreaking musician, is the first cultural assessment of this transformative act.

        by Mahendra K. Satapath & Sidhanta Sekhar Bisoi

        In earlier days, Children used to play outdoor games with natural resources such as plant parts (fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems, etc.) and formed an integral part of nature. However with shrinkage of open spaces and play grounds, present day children are often seen putting their leisure hours with electronic gadgets such as computers, mobile phones and video games and consequently the indigenous knowledge associated with playing in nature is being lost and their social attitude is disturbed. From a wide survey of rural and tribal pockets, the authors have gathered the vanishing indigenous knowledge and have described 90 plant species with their fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems etc. which are used for fun and games besides as learning materials supplemented with pictures, diagrams and photographs for the benefit of the readers, especially the plant lovers and Environmentalists.
