Francesca Gagliardi – författare

Geoff Hodgson has made substantial contributions to institutional and evolutionary economics, economic methodology, the history of economic thought and social theory. To mark his seminal work, this book features original contributions by world-leading scholars from fields that have played a significant role in influencing his thinking or represent key debates to which he has contributed.Building on some of the central philosophical and methodological foundations underlying Hodgson's thinking, the book is organized around the recurring themes of institutions, evolution and capitalism. The contributors explore key connections between philosophy, the history of economic thought, and institutional and evolutionary economics in the light of Hodgson's often path-breaking work.A vital read for institutional, evolutionary and heterodox economists, this book sheds new light on Hodgson's position in these fields. Drawing together critical insights, this is also an important book for economics scholars looking to improve their understanding of current theory.Contributors include: M.C. Becker, C. Camic, J.B.

This book explores sustainable development and resilience in Mediterranean landscapes, focusing on architecture, environmental management, and cultural heritage. It covers topics like temporary housing after disasters, restoration techniques, and building design for uncertain conditions. The book also looks at managing natural resources and adapting to climate change, including shoreline changes, solar energy impacts, and rising sea levels. Cultural landscapes are discussed through community involvement and heritage protection, while infrastructure topics include ecological changes, heat reduction in cities, and transport systems. It also examines how tourism and new technologies can support both the economy and the environment, along with ways to address land degradation and coastal risks. Overall, it offers a clear view of how sustainable and practical solutions can help improve and protect Mediterranean regions.

This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of the Mediterranean region through the lenses of environmental design, heritage conservation, urban regeneration, and sustainable territorial development. Divided into four interconnected parts, this book examines the intricate relationship between natural landscapes, architecture and archaeology, highlighting innovative approaches to environmental management and adaptive design. It focuses on heritage and identity, emphasizing the role of cultural and architectural heritage in shaping collective memory and resilience, supported by digital and analytical tools for preservation. This book addresses urban tourism and regeneration, investigating cultural and economic drivers of urban transformation, community engagement and sustainable tourism practices. Finally, the chapters of book explore landscape values and socio-economic impacts, presenting models for sustainability assessment, resilience planning and energy transition across Mediterranean contexts. Together, these contributions present a comprehensive reflection on the evolving dialogue between nature, culture and technology in shaping sustainable and equitable futures for Mediterranean territories.
