        MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. 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

        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Hacia una cartografía de poetas cubanas & chilenas

        by Varias autoras - Selección de Gonzalo Geraldo

        Esta selección de autoras no busca representar toda una época o generación, más bien aunar pensamientos, inquietudes; mujeres (como testigos) que a través de la palabra transmutan en dadoras de vida y saberes, erigiendo metáforas, significados; voces que se entrelazan hasta conformar este paraje poético que acoge y salva — como una isla—, para dar testimonio de la pujanza lírica femenina. Los nombres congregados entre estas páginas constituyen un coro unánime, mediante el cual puede advertirse una asimilación de la sociedad, la cultura, de un momento en el tiempo que les ha tocado vivir; experiencias que ahora trascienden en el verso convirtiéndose en puente, lazo entre dos naciones que —a sabiendas de su responsabilidad— han decidido dejar una impronta como certeza de que la poesía sí sirve de algo. Autoras de la antología: Laura Domingo Agüero, Jamila Medina Ríos, Yessica Arteaga Ibal, Yosie Crespo, Elaine Vilar Madruga, Yanelys Encinosa Cabrera, Ketty Blanco, Elizabeth Reinosa Aliaga, Jessica Pérez Quesada, Zurisaday Gómez Torres, Iris Kiya, Francisca Pérez Morales, María Paz Valdebenito González, Daniela Catrileo, Ashle Ozuljevic Subaique, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Gladys González, Mariela Malhue, Marcela Parra, Mara Rita Villaroel.

        Diseases of Vegetable Crops and Their Integrated Management

        A Colour Handbook

        by R.K. Mishra, A.K.Singh & A.K.Sharma

        Vegetables are important source of dietary fibers, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. Shifting from a non-vegetarian diet to vegetarian, global recognition of the importance of vegetables for human health and their medicinal and nutritional value have contributed to a steady upward trend in vegetable production system. China is ranked first in the world and currently produces around 237 million tons of vegetable. The total vegetable production of India during the year 2009-10 was approximately 90 million tons. Pesticides are valuable tools in sustainable vegetable production, but unfortunately they are often being used irresponsibly, causing hazards to producers, consumers and the environment. In addition, they can exacerbate pests and diseases problems by inducing resistance and suppressing the natural enemies which exert natural biological control. This book aims to promoting an integration of appropriate chemical, cultural, physical, genetic and biological technologies into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies for vegetable crop protection.

        Antropología del astronauta cotidiano

        by José Alejandro Polanco Contreras

        Desde la perspectiva de la antropología médica, este libro describe las condiciones de vida de las personas que llevan dispositivos médicos al cuerpo que pueden hacerlos parecer en cierto modo cyborgs, debido a esa simbiosis entre el ser humano y la tecnología. El lector encontrará historias de vida de personas de diversas condiciones sociales y económicas que tienen en común su condición de "astronauta de la vida diaria", término adoptado por el autor para nombrar a aquellas personas que, por circunstancias de su vida, fueron "lanzadas" en la complejidad de vivir con una ostomía. El libro describe la perspectiva médica del problema, así como las tecnologías y dispositivos que se han desarrollado para el cuidado de las ostomías y que han ayudado a esas personas a llevar una vida plenamente funcional.

        Mursiyya

        El talismán del yemení

        by Reyes Puerta, Sergio

        In the year 825 A.C., Abderraman II, the Emir of Cordoba, ordered the construction of Madina Mursiyya, the actual city of Murcia. Not many years before, a little boy called Omar, witness to one of the turning points that would spark off a bloody civil war in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, finds and secretly hides a pendant that will later disclose its power and significance. Always in the company of the aforementioned talisman, which belonged to the Yemeni man murdered next to the river Sangonera, Omar will be forced to act as a spy amid the fratricidal conflict if he wants to save his father from the unfair fate that abides him, shake off the yoke of his stepbrothers and recover his beloved from the grip of the emir and his favourite eunuch. For those purposes, he will have to get involved in the foundation of the city and at the same time confront, with the help of those who should have been his natural enemies, a number of intriguing characters who should have been his allies all through an extraordinary plot full of magic, innocence and adventures.   En el 825 d.C. el emir de Córdoba, Abderramán II, ordenó la fundación de la ciudad de Mursiyya, la actual Murcia. Pocos años antes el pequeño Omar, testigo de uno de los decisivos sucesos que incitarían una cruenta guerra civil en el sureste de la península ibérica, encuentra y esconde un colgante que más tarde revelaría su poder e importancia. Acompañado de dicho talismán, propiedad del Yemení asesinado junto al río Sangonera, Omar deberá actuar como espía en el fraticida conflicto si quiere salvar a su padre de su injusto destino, liberarse del yugo de sus hermanastros y recuperar a su amada de las garras del emir y de su eunuco predilecto. Para ello deberá colaborar en la fundación de la ciudad sin dejar de enfrentarse, con la ayuda de los que deberían haber sido sus enemigos naturales, a intrigantes personajes de su propia facción en una insólita historia llena de magia, inocencia y aventuras. La sorprendente novela en la que la vida de nuestro entrañable protagonista Omar se entreteje con la de cerca de un centenar de personajes reales de los siglos IX y anteriores, y con la Historia de Murcia, su huerta y el resto de la antigua cora de Tudmir (Región de Murcia, Alicante, y parte de Almería y Albacete), y la del resto de al Andalus.

        Water management for sustainable agriculture

        by Theib Oweis

        There is increasing competition for water resources in the face of declining aquifer reserves and increasing risk in many areas of drought related to climate change. At the same time poor water management is damaging agriculture with problems such as salinization, waterlogging, erosion and run-off. This volume summarises the wealth of research on understanding and better management of water resources for agriculture.Part 1 reviews fundamental issues such as plant water use and soil water retention. Part 2 discusses ways of mapping and monitoring groundwater and surface water resources whilst Part 3 covers other sources such as rain and floodwater, waste and brackish water. Part 4 surveys developments in irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation and fertigation. The final sections in the book discuss ways of using water resources more efficiently such as site-specific and deficit irrigation techniques.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, this wlll be a standard reference for agronomists, scientists involved in water and irrigation science as well as government and non-governmental organisations responsible for agriculture and water resource management.
