Financing in Europe
This book explores the evolution of credit and financing in Europe from the Middle Ages through to Modern Times. It engages with the distinct political, economic and institutional frameworks of the examined areas (England, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Turkey) and discusses how these affected the credit market. It covers a wide range of different types of lending and borrowing instruments, the destination of capital, the way it was raised, and the impact it had on local or national economies in a very long run.Presented in two parts, part one of the book focuses on credit markets in the preindustrial age, in particular the period before the advent of modern joint stock banks. Part two examines the evolution of credit at the time of the emergence of modern banks. This volume will be of interest to academics and researchers in the field of finance who are interested in the historic evolution of credit and the credit market.

Every Pill I Took: 2000-2001
In our pill-happy society there is a pill for everything. Corporate legal drug dealers, aka Big Pharma, have for decades put design thought into clever pill presses and multicolored gel-caps to distinguish their products and attract buyers. So too, in the 1990s and 2000s when ecstasy swept the club and rave scenes, the branding of pills was essential to the marketing, a way for the user to identify a good high from cold medicine or a batch of poison. Ecstasy branding was often based on well-known corporate logos. Easily identified, pill makers latched onto the brand recognition of our corporate society subverting the brands at the same time. A process the cultural critic Carlo McCormick says “collapses the ever-convergent space between subversive youth culture and acquiescent mainstream passive consumption.”While working as a nightlife photographer, New York-based Michael Lorenzini became fascinated by the design details in ecstasy tablets and wanted to document this underground art form. He proceeded to photograph every pill he took from 2000-2001. Although jewel-like in their tiny colorful forms, the macro photographs, shot on slide film with an extreme macro lens, reveal hidden imperfections and textured landscapes.Every Pill I Took: 2000-2001 is part of Blurring Books' new series of publications, Limited Slim Publications.

Altrove
E' la storia di un'amicizia e di un viaggio. Marco, quarantenne, parte da Roma per la Sicilia alla ricerca dell'amico Andrea, scomparso dopo una delusione d'amore. Viene risucchiato da una terra bella e assolata, misteriosa e inquietante, dalla bellezza delle sue donne, dai piaceri della cucina, da usanze difficili da capire. A poco a poco l'idea di ritrovare Andrea, gia strampalata in partenza, viene messa da parte. Mentre Marco trascorre un'intrigante vacanza, ricompare Andrea e racconta vicende drammatiche, che tuttavia sembrano essersi risolte. Ma non e cosi. Gli avvenimenti precipitano e di nuovo i due amici si trovano, stavolta insieme, a fronteggiare il loro destino di "irregolari": andare altrove per fuggire, per inseguire, per entrambe le cose.
