Synopsis

The "Hollywood Sign" explores the surprising history of this global icon, tracing its path from a 1923 real estate advertisement for "Hollywoodland" to a symbol of the entertainment industry. The book examines the sign's creation, near-destruction, and eventual restoration, revealing how community efforts and financial investments ensured its survival. It also analyzes the sign's cultural significance, highlighting its role as a visual representation of the American Dream and the complex interplay between commerce and cultural identity. This book uniquely moves beyond a simple history to explore the sign's deeper meanings.

 
Did you know that the original sign was only intended to last for a year and a half? Or that its near collapse led to widespread public campaigns to save it? The book delves into archival photographs, city planning documents, and interviews to present a compelling narrative.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the sign's origins, then details its decline and reconstruction, and finally explores its modern identity within film, television, and popular culture. Ultimately, "Hollywood Sign" provides valuable insights into urban development, cultural heritage, and the power of visual communication.

  • Rethinking global value chains amid geo-economic fragmentation - cover

    Rethinking global value chains...

    The uneven recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis led to a stabilisation of international trade and capital flows. However, in the following years the surge of protectionist measures and deepening rivalries between big powers precipitated a crisis of the rule-based multilateral order. The pandemic crisis and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have boosted international economic fragmentation along geopolitical lines and may drive the global economy towards a reversal of the globalisation process that marked the second half of the 20th century.
    Mounting cross-border restrictions on the exchange of essential goods and services during the recent poly-crisis has caused big disruptions in global production networks evamping the debate on the future of global economic interdependence, and the potentialities and downsides of reshoring, nearshoring or friendshoring processes. Indeed, the reconfiguration of global value chains (GVCs) has been increasingly debated as an economic policy tool to secure the supply of critical products and establish economic security at the national level. Such defensive posturing raises concerns over how to manage emerging trade-offs between the benefits of openness (economic integration) and those of autonomy (economic security).
    The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), in the framework of its partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo, launched a task force of experts to contribute to the current discussion on the implications and possible future configurations of international production networks at a time of a resurgence of national economic security. The overall research effort has involved different regional perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches to shed light on the implications of the policy-driven process of international economic fragmentation in the fields of trade, technology, labour, international finance, global public goods and other dimensions of international economic relations.

    What happens when someone you love suddenly cliff-dives into mental illness? And then you discover that there may be no return?
    		 
    This experimental memoir reflects on the author’s intimate and complicated relationship with a woman diagnosed with suicidal depression, and the startling and chaotic new world of locked wards, heavy medications, and electroconvulsive therapy that follows.
    		 
    Interweaving personal essays, fragmented prose, poetry, stream-of-consciousness, and text exchanges, this collage-style book invites the reader into the mysterious world of a treatment-resistant condition and illuminates the urgency and intimacy of caring for someone with an ultimately fatal mental illness. Running through the center of the narrative is the relationship between two people whose fierce love for each other is both the tie that binds and the anchor that drowns.
    		 
    Lifeline is a testament to the importance of hard conversations, humor, and dignity in the face of a courageous battle for sanity; an interrogation of the flaws in the medical system; a debate on when life stops being worth living; and a conversation and reflection on what it means to love someone enough to go on without them.

    Julius Caesar - The Famous Roman...

    Gaius Julius Caesar remains one of the most influential and recognizable figures in history. A brilliant military commander and astute statesman, Caesar played a decisive role in the events that led to the collapse of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. His life and career were marked by political ambition, military conquests, and transformative reforms that forever changed the Roman world.  
    Born into a patrician family, Caesar rose to prominence in Roman politics through strategic alliances and persuasive rhetoric. In 60 BC, he formed the First Triumvirate with Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, known as Pompey. This informal political alliance dominated Roman politics for several years, enabling Caesar to secure the consulship in 59 BC. The Triumvirate sought to advance the interests of the Populares, a political faction advocating for the rights of the common people, in opposition to the Optimates, the conservative faction of the Roman Senate. Powerful senators such as Cato the Younger and orator Cicero resisted Caesar’s growing influence, leading to increased political tensions.  
    To solidify his power, Caesar launched a series of military campaigns known as the Gallic Wars from 58 BC to 51 BC. These campaigns significantly expanded Roman territory, bringing Gaul (modern-day France and Belgium) under Roman control. Caesar's military success earned him wealth, popularity, and the unwavering loyalty of his legions. His invasion of Britain and the daring construction of a bridge over the Rhine River showcased his strategic prowess and ambition. These victories, however, unsettled Pompey, who grew increasingly aligned with the Senate following Crassus’ death in 53 BC. Fearing Caesar’s rising power, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome as a private citizen.

    You've earned your place at the table. So why do you still feel like an impostor? Why do you minimize your wins, overwork to prove your worth, and apologize for wanting more? 
    In Unshrinkable, sport and performance psychologist Dr. Darby Bonomi draws on thirty-five years of treating and coaching hundreds of women to reveal why accomplished women secretly undermine themselves—and how to stop. Through candid personal stories and insights from her work with high-achieving clients, she exposes the hidden patterns that keep capable women playing small: the "good girl" conditioning, the fear of ambition, the addiction to perfection. 
    This isn't another self-help platitude about fixing yourself. It's your invitation to stop the self-punishment and give yourself permission to want more—unapologetically. Bonomi shows you how to silence your inner critic, own your ambition, and fully use the power you already have. 
    You are not shrink-to-fit. It's time to become unshrinkable.
