Come tracciare la storia di un'istituzione d'ancien régime senza poter consultare le carte che essa ha prodotto nel corso del tempo? Come ricostruirne i rapporti con altre istituzioni laiche ed ecclesiastiche, locali ed estere? Com'era percepita la sua presenza nella società? Come condizionava con la sua azione la vita e la libertà delle persone? La monografia, data per acquisita l'ormai irreversibile dispersione dell'archivio dell'Inquisizione di Parma, si avvale di documentazione alternativa scoperta in abbondanza presso alcuni archivi italiani e vaticani e la presenta con testi, appendici e indici che permettano di dare risposte ai tanti quesiti che l'argomento storiografico propone. Dopo il saggio introduttivo di Herman H. Schwedt, che istituisce confronti fra l'Inquisizione di Parma e di altre realtà statali italiane, il libro evidenzia in particolare gli scopi degli inquisitori, dei loro collaboratori e dei cardinali delle due congregazioni romane del Sant'Ufficio e dell'Indice, da cui partivano gli ordini per le varie procedure della censura libraria e della punizione dei reati di fede.

Death by poison is not a good way to go-unless the punch tastes good. My ten-year high school reunion was supposed to be fun-seeing old friends and maybe even making a few new ones. And I was really looking forward to spending an evening with Jaxson's brother, Drake, again. Too bad, when we entered the dance, one of Drake's friends was lying dead on the floor covered in pink punch. Sure Kyle Covington was a very rich investor who'd made his share of enemies, but had any of them been at the reunion? Considering Drake's connection with the deceased, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't do some investigating? After all, I knew most of the suspects. Out of the blue, an unexpected arrival joins forces with Drake-one with magic. Was she involved in the murder or would she help solve the case? If you want to check up on the status of our crime-solving, I'll either be slurping down a chocolate shake at the Spellbound Diner or chatting with my aunt at the Tiki Hut Grill. Don't worry-Jaxson and Iggy will also be on the case.

Ever since I started cooking, I have always been fascinated by fermenting, pickling and preserving foods. My first memories with these foods involved pickling vegetables in jars, baking bread, brewing beer and making wine or cider as a young boy with my father. I was always intrigued by how the beer would gain bubbles, the bread would magically double in size and they would both always transform into something different and tasty.

This book is aimed at people who simply know the basics of computer programming. It does not require any notion of physics and allows its readers to understand with total accuracy and in the simplest way the use that could be made of a quantum computer, by explaining step by step how to write a software to emulate its operation. The usual expression that a qubit "is an object that can be simultaneously in both binary states 0 and 1" will lose all the aura of mystery that surrounds it, and readers will understand exactly its meaning and implications for computing without the need for any knowledge of physics. The book describes quantum computing by considering it strictly from a computer science point of view, simply as a machine that is capable of transforming a given input into a given output using any suitable physical principle to work, and thus allows to become completely familiar with quantum gates and with the most famous quantum algorithms. The only condition is that the readers are familiar with some programming language and with the basic concepts of classical computer science: those who have this knowledge will easily follow the description of quantum algorithms and understand the software emulation that is implemented in the book, and will also have fun running and testing it with their own PC.The knowledge acquired through this book is of vital importance to investors because it allows them to judge independently on the risk of investing in this technology. It has been written for programmers because the knowledge of basics of computer science is useful to understand exactly what a quantum computer, once built, could be used for. But this understanding is also essential for investors who must evaluate whether and how much it is appropriate to risk investing in the development of quantum computing. Therefore, even investors (private investors, consultants, managers of financing funds for technological enterprises, etc.) who want to decide on the allocation of resources in quantum computing with full knowledge of the stakes, must know this book, and if they do not personally own the necessary prerequisites, they can use it by hiring some trusted computer expert to read it, understand it and report on the result.

Os sete estudos de teoria e crítica literária que compõem A pluralidade ilusória exploram vários conceitos e aspectos da obra de Jorge Luis Borges, um dos escritores mais importantes do século XX. Partindo principalmente de seus contos, mas incluindo suas poesias, textos críticos, conferências e diálogos, este livro se aprofunda em questões sobre as concepções de nacionalidade, de conjectura, de autoria e de identidade encontradas em Borges, enquanto aborda suas conexões formais e temáticas com vários autores ou obras (Miguel de Cervantes, Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, as Mil e uma noites e mais) e busca compreender os fundamentos estéticos de alguns dos símbolos centrais que configuram suas ficções (labirintos, minotauros, bibliotecas, livros fantásticos, a areia e os espelhos). Olhando tanto para o passado quanto para o futuro do escritor argentino, de suas reinvenções da literatura clássica aos video games que adaptaram sua obra, os ensaios buscam simultaneamente uma visão em profundidade, que explore as minúcias daqueles elementos que caracterizaram Borges como um escritor singular, e uma visão de conjunto, que identifique o lugar de sua obra no todo da cultura latino-americana, do conto como gênero e da história da literatura mundial.

Formas do conto propõe uma abordagem teórica da evolução do conto como gênero nos séculos XIX e XX, analisando momentos representativos de seu desenvolvimento formal em literaturas de expressão linguística inglesa e portuguesa. Para tanto, foram selecionadas obras de escritores que sintetizam e articulam certas tendências comuns ao gênero: Edgar Allan Poe, João Guimarães Rosa, James Joyce, Jorge de Sena, Virginia Woolf e Clarice Lispector, aos quais também se adiciona a produção dos irmãos Grimm, de Alexsandr Afanas'ev (advindos de outras expressões linguísticas) e de Câmara Cascudo. Os contos são discutidos a partir do tratamento enunciativo das formas de tempo e espaço e das relações dialógicas entre as diversas consciências que constituem as narrativas (autor, narrador e personagens), além da particular tensão, percebida na evolução do gênero, entre as tentativas de aproximar formalmente o conto de, por um lado, uma expressão de caráter comunitário e, por outro, uma expressão de caráter individual.
