Marinoni sostiene con profonda convinzione gli approcci del lsquo;progetto urbano coordinatorsquo;come strumento efficace alla trasformazione e innovazione urbana e paesaggistica di qualitagrave;; capace di agire in una dimensione processuale e di separatezza di tempi; poteri; discipline e competenze.

The breadth and depth of research and his ability to play with it all is impressive. Seldom do I find a book that is awe inspiring and has me chuckling once and while as well. Warning; the book may cause you to buy more books.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Challenging but accessibleBy EarlChaos Imagined: Literature; Art; Science by Martin Meisel is a masterful work that serves as both a history (of sorts) of the concept of chaos as well as detailed analyses of various texts to illustrate how perceptions were expressed and eventually changed.This is not a simple read but it is quite accessible to anyone who likely is interested in an interdisciplinary volume about chaos. It is not so much a difficult read as it is a broad read which invites readers to ponder what they have just read and to possibly (re)read the texts under discussion. This is a wonderful book to work through slowly with a blank journal at hand.The depth and breadth of Meisels knowledge is impressive; providing excellent explanations of scientific material while also offering superb analyses of literary and philosophical texts. In doing so he manages to avoid excessive jargon (it cannot be completely avoided; some topics simply need their specialized vocabulary) but his explanations excel in the areas that require specialized terminology.Chaos underwent a significant change in how it is perceived in the 18th and 19th centuries; as Meisel illustrates remarkably. It went from disruptive and associated with evil or bad while order was its opposite; perceived as good and desirable. Chaos then became more closely associated with the freedom of potential; in no small part due to understanding that the world is more chaotic than it is ordered.I would hesitate to put this into the pop category of science-themed books that are so useful for the general public; but I do think it would be enjoyable to most who like those works. Because the author ranges over so many areas (literature; science; art; film; etc) there are many opportunities for a reader to find an interesting avenue into the topic; which makes this an ideal volume for those who like to think deeply as well as broadly.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
