“There is no such thing as a law of translation, since laws admit of no exceptions” (Peter Newmark, Approaches to Translation, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1982). Taking this idea as a starting point, Translating Strategies was written for an Intermediate to Upper Intermediate level with Second Year University students in mind, as an instrument for self-study and as a guide to the difficulties and pitfalls when translating in a foreign language. The book shows how to translate literary texts from Italian to English, using texts taken from modern, twentieth century Italian authors. It is also intended as an aid to exam preparation for students studying foreign languages at the “Facoltà di Lettere” in Italian universities. The book is divided into twenty chapters with extracts from novels or short stories, with the final chapter taking a look at a whole story and the importance of the continuity of language when translating a story from beginning to end. Each chapter has the Italian version of the text and on the following page the corresponding English translation. The rest of the chapter has several pages of notes on the language, grammar and vocabulary contained in the text. The reader is also shown ways of how not to translate certain words and phrases with examples of the types of typical errors made by Italian students of English. As well as being a self-study guide, the book is ideal for use in the classroom, where the notes can be used a stepping stone for expanding ideals and stimulating discussion.

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. \n \nMolecular Population Genetics is a general text covering one of the most active and exciting areas in biology. Combining advances in molecular biology and genomics with mathematical and empirical findings from population genetics, work in molecular population genetics has uncovered the extraordinary history of natural selection and demographic shifts in many organisms, including humans. While basic descriptions of the methods and tools of this field can be found in disparate places, no\nprevious book has brought them together in a single volume. Rather than cobble together pieces from books, reviews, and primary research articles, Molecular Population Genetics presents a coherent user's guide to the field. Intended as a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, the book will\nalso be useful as a detailed reference for active professionals.

Building on the success of the Jewish Annotated New Testament (JANT) and the Jewish Study Bible (JSB), Oxford University Press now proceeds to complete the trilogy with the Jewish Annotated Apocrypha (JAA). The books of the Apocrypha were virtually all composed by Jewish writers in the Second Temple period. Excluded from the Hebrew Bible, these works were preserved by Christians. Yet no complete, standalone edition of these works has been\nproduced in English with an emphasis on Jewish tradition or with an educated Jewish audience in mind. The JAA meets this need.\n\nThe JAA differs from prior editions of the Apocrypha in a number of ways. First, as befits a Jewish Annotated Apocrypha, the volume excludes certain texts that are widely agreed to be of Christian origin. Second, it expands the scope of the volume to include Jubilees, an essential text for understanding ancient Judaism, and a book that merits inclusion in the volume by virtue of the fact that it was long considered part of the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (the text is also revered by\nEthiopian Jews). Third, it has restructured the order of the books so that the sequencing follows the logic that governs the order of the books in the Jewish canon (Law, History, Prophecy, Wisdom and Poetry).\n\nEach book of the Apocrypha is annotated by a recognized expert in the study of ancient Judaism. An Introduction by the editors guides readers though the making of the volume and its contents. Thematic essays by an impressive array of scholars provide helpful contexts, backgrounds and elaborations on key themes.

This book is the long-awaited companion volume to the highly acclaimed Expanding the Boundaries of Intellectual Property, published by Oxford University Press in 2001. That book argued for strong private rights whilst at the same time calling for caution in the expansionary trend. In the period since the first volume, intellectual property protection has grown ever stronger, and this new book focuses on finding ways to cope with the fragmentation of rights and the complex framework this expansion of rights has created. At the core of the book are considerations of such initiatives as patent clearing models, standard setting organizations, licensing arrangements and informal work-arounds. It also examines the measures that seek to protect the public domain, including strategic licensing, collective rights organizations, and non-profit ventures such as creative commons and open-source publishing. Drawing on expertise from a number of disciplines including law, economics and sociology, the book is international in approach and fuses scholarly research with legal practice. It will be of great interest to scholars in intellectual property and innovation, policy-makers, and practitioners with an interest in the future of the field.

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. \n \nOver the last two decades, the study of speciation has expanded from a modest backwater of evolutionary biology into a large and vigorous discipline. Thus, the literature on speciation, as well as the number of researchers and students working in this area, has grown explosively. Despite these developments, there has been no book-length treatment of speciation in many years. As a result, both the seasoned scholar and the newcomer to evolutionary biology had no ready guide to the recent literature on speciation--a body of work that is enormous, scattered, and increasingly technical. Although several excellent symposium volumes have recently appeared, these collections do not provide a unified, critical, and up-to-date overview of the field. Speciation is designed to fill this gap.\n\nAimed at professional biologists, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates, Speciation covers both plants and animals (the first book on this subject to do so), and deals with all relevant areas of research, including biogeography, field work, systematics, theory, and genetic and molecular studies. It gives special emphasis to topics that are either controversial or the subject of active research, including sympatric speciation, reinforcement, the role of hybridization in speciation, the search for genes causing reproductive isolation, and mounting evidence for the role of natural and sexual selection in the origin of species. The authors do not hesitate to take stands on these and other controversial issues. This critical and scholarly book will be invaluable to researchers in evolutionary biology and is also ideal for a graduate-level course on speciation.

La grammatica di J. Weingreen (A Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew, Oxford University Press, 1992), semplice e chiara, ha iniziato alla conoscenza dell'ebraico biblico generazioni di studenti di lingua inglese e francese. Insieme alle lezioni, un particolare valore è rappresentato dal gran numero di esercizi: mutuati dal testo biblico, ma appositamente adattati al livello dei principianti, permettono la pratica della lingua e il progressivo avvicinamento alla Bibbia, che lo studente troverà familiare al termine del percorso. Ecco quanto ha scritto il Journal of Semitic Studies in occasione della pubblicazione della seconda edizione: \"I metodi e meriti della Grammatica di Weingreen sono ben noti: la sua libertà da una lunga serie di sezioni introduttive dedicate agli elementi della lingua che mantengono lo studente troppo a lungo lontano dai racconti biblici; il suo generoso uso di esempi in ausilio all'esposizione dei contenuti di ogni sezione, il suo ampio dizionario\". Finalmente la traduzione italiana mette a disposizione dei docenti e dei loro studenti il testo che molti professori di ebraico biblico adottavano in lingua originale o riprendevano in parafrasi nelle loro dispense.

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. \n \nIncreasingly, scientists find themselves facing exponentially larger data sets and analyses without suitable tools to deal with them. Many biologists end up using spreadsheet programs for most of their data-processing tasks and spend hours clicking around or copying and pasting, and then repeating the process for other data files.\n\nPractical Computing for Biologists shows you how to use many freely available computing tools to work more powerfully and effectively. The book was born out of the authors' own experience in developing tools for their research and helping other biologists with their computational problems. Although many of the techniques are relevant to molecular bioinformatics, the motivation for the book is much broader, focusing on topics and techniques that are applicable to a range of scientific\nendeavors. Twenty-two chapters organized into six parts address these topics (and more; see Contents):\n * Searching with regular expressions\n * The Unix command line\n * Python programming and debugging\n * Creating and editing graphics\n * Databases\n * Performing analyses on remote servers\n * Working with electronics\nWhile most of the concepts and examples apply to any operating system, the main narrative focuses on Mac OS X. Where there are differences for Windows and Linux users, parallel instructions are provided in the margin and in an appendix. The book is designed to be used as a self-guided resource for researchers, a companion book in a course, or as a primary textbook. Practical Computing for Biologists will free you from the most frustrating and time-consuming aspects of data processing\nso you can focus on the pleasures of scientific inquiry.

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. \n \nBiogeography, first published in 1983, is one of the most comprehensive text and general reference books in the natural sciences. The fifth edition builds on the strengths of previous editions to provide an insightful and integrative explanation of how geographic variation across terrestrial and marine environments has influenced the fundamental processes of immigration, extinction, and evolution to shape species distributions and nearly all patterns of biological diversity. It is an\nempirically and conceptually rich text that illustrates general patterns and processes using examples from a broad diversity of life forms, time periods and aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. \n\nBiogeography, Fifth Edition, is written as a primary text for undergraduate and graduate courses, and is also an invaluable reference for biogeographers, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and conservation biologists. Its fundamental assertion is that patterns in biological diversity make little sense unless viewed within an explicit geographic context. Starting from principal patterns and fundamental principles, and assuming only a rudimentary knowledge of biology, geography, and\nEarth history, the text explains the relationships between geographic variation in biological diversity and the geological, ecological, and evolutionary processes that have produced them.\n\nThe use of color illustrations, evaluated and optimized for colorblind readers, has transformed our abilities to illustrate key concepts and empirical patterns in the geography of nature. By providing a description of the historical development of biogeography, evolution and ecology, along with a comprehensive account of the principal patterns, fundamental principles and recent advances in each of these fields of science, our ultimate vision is for Biogeography to serve as the\ncenterpiece of a one- or two-semester core course in biological diversity.

Realizzare uno sviluppo sostenibile del settore della pesca che riesca \"a soddisfare i bisogni del presente senza compromettere la capacità delle generazioni future di soddisfare i propri bisogni\" (Wced 1987, Our Common Future. World Conference on Environment and Development, Oxford University Press) significa gestire la pesca in modo da mantenere inalterate tutte quelle funzioni ambientali che, a loro volta, contribuiscano al benessere umano ed assicurino la sopravvivenza dell'attività, garantendo l'integrità degli ecosistemi interessati. I principi alla base di una pesca sostenibile, ispirati al Codice di condotta per una pesca responsabile della Fao e, più in generale, all'approccio precauzionale, consistono, quindi, nell'assicurare che le capacità produttive e la biodiversità degli ecosistemi siano mantenute ad un livello elevato e non siano sacrificate in favore di interessi a breve termine. L'obiettivo del presente studio è quello di mettere in luce le caratteristiche del Codice Fao e del relativo Codice europeo di buone pratiche per una pesca sostenibile e responsabile dal punto di vista dell'applicabilità all'azienda ittica. Nello specifico si tenterà di far emergere quale applicabilità ha il Codice per l'Italia e, in particolare, presso le marinerie che operano sulla costa emiliano-romagnola.
