Questo libro ci presenta una visione d'insieme sul mondo dell'openness, dal software open source ai servizi cloud, passando per le licenze Creative Commons e gli open data. Tra i primi ad averne fatto l'oggetto principale della propria attività scientifica e professionale, per la prima volta nel panorama italiano l'autore ci offre un quadro sistematico di come realizzare l'apertura e la condivisione di beni intellettuali che altrimenti rimarrebbero riservati. Un fenomeno che, da marginale, è divenuto centrale in vari contesti. L'opera si presenta al lettore in modo chiaro ma non banale. L'autore affronta temi complessi con stile lineare e comprensibile anche ai digiuni di diritto, ma conservando un necessario rigore scientifico, fornendo gli elementi per una teoria generale per la creazione e la promozione di beni intellettuali comuni, o commons. Un approccio rivoluzionario a questa branca del diritto, che capovolge l'uso di strumenti ben noti come il copyright e le licenze, richiedeva l'intervento di un giurista fuori dagli schemi e anticonformista come Piana.

As one of the first two bishops of the Methodist church in America and one of the most well-known circuit riders during the spread of Methodism, Francis Asbury kept a journal of his travels and activities. His journal begins with his prayerful decision to come to America in 1771 and continues to December of 1815, a few months before his death. In the meantime, we travel with Rev. Asbury across the ocean, over mountains, through rivers, and up and down the whole length of the fledgling United States of America.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Aging is not simply a result of wear and tear. Some animals, such as mice and bats, have a fast metabolism, but their life spans are still shorter than humans. #2 Aging is not simply a matter of inevitable wear and tear. Mother Nature can determine how fast an animal species wears and how long it can live. If she wants to, she can even arrange for living creatures or cells to not wear or age at all. #3 The myth of aging is that it allows older animals to make room for younger ones. However, this theory does not explain why we grow older in the first place. In nature, most animals die before they can grow old, so why would older animals need to make room for younger ones. #4 The average life span of an animal species is determined by the average time that the animal can survive in the wild. If an animal species can survive longer in the wild, it will age at a slower rate and have a longer life span.

« Moi, maintenant, c'est tout pour la bagnole ! » Pour lancer une telle profession de foi, il faut être revenu de tout... Le narrateur des Spongieux a, il est vrai, connu l'amour - peu, et mal -, une grande amitié brisée par la mort, et surtout une vertigineuse ascension sociale : entraîné dans une aventure sans précédent, il a fait fortune en « ressuscitant » les morts. On dit même que ses clients avaient hâte de mourir pour connaître, contre quelques écus, une véritable apothéose. Roman de grandeur et de décadence, Les spongieux est traversé par de grandes passions et des automobiles prodigieuses, hanté par des traîtres patibulaires, éclairé par des figures hautes en couleur. Mais c'est surtout, de bout en bout, un prétexte à rire grinçant et à humour féroce : car ses héros ne sont pas des hommes mais des cadavres saisis par le délire. Au-delà de la cocasserie, pourtant, on perçoit une vraie question, celle de nos comportements devant la mort.
