Il conte Giuseppe Uberto Valentinis (1819-1901), pittore e studioso di storia dell'arte regionale, fu il più importante restauratore friulano della seconda metà dell'Ottocento. Per la sua attività di conservatore fu in contatto con rilevanti personalità italiane e straniere che pure si dedicavano allo studio e alla tutela dei beni culturali. Grazie alla sua perfetta padronanza del tedesco, Valentinis tradusse il trattato su "Il restauro e la rigenerazione dei dipinti ad olio" (1870) del chimico bavarese Maximilian Pettenkofer, e quindi s'adoperò per diffondere il metodo da questi ideato con una serie di corsi presso le più importanti gallerie italiane.

This work is the result of a common effort carried out between scientists and enterprises: it is a significant example of what should be done all over the world when we deal with Cultural Heritage artefacts. The chapters of this book represent the various aspects of the work carried out on the mural paintings of Casa Vasari and show how accurately and precisely an artefact can be analyzed. Many scientists gave an important contribute to this work: from a chemical approach to a managerial one. An interdisciplinary work to understand, conserve and promote the frescoes of the great hall of Casa Vasari.

Materials are the stuff of design. From the very beginning of human history, materials have been taken from the natural world and shaped, modified, and adapted for everything from primitive tools to modern electronics. This renowned book by noted materials engineering author Mike Ashby and industrial designer Kara Johnson explores the role of materials and materials processing in product design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired aesthetics and functionality. The new edition features even more of the highly useful "materials profiles" that give critical design, processing, performance and applications criteria for each material in question. The reader will find information ranging from the generic and commercial names of each material, its physical and mechanical properties, its chemical properties, its common uses, how it is typically made and processed, and even its average price. And with improved photographs and drawings, the reader is taken even more closely to the way real design is done by real designers, selecting the optimum materials for a successful product.

• The best guide ever published on the on the role of materials, past and present, in product development, by noted materials authority Mike Ashby and professional designer Kara Johnson--now with even better photos and drawings on the Design Process
• Significant new section on the use of re-cycled materials in products, and the importance of sustainable design for manufactured goods and services
• Enhanced materials profiles, with addition of new materials types like nanomaterials, advanced plastics and bio-based materials
