I really want to post today also if work was quite stressful, all day in front of a pc and now I can’t watch a screen anymore… but I got to give a couple of link I’m confident you are interested in and I want to save for future memory.

First is a book, of course. It comes from the ever-interesting blog of Prof. Ugo Bardi (language: ITA), member of ASPO Italia, who accidentally is not talking about peak oil in his daily post but chimeras. Well, not really about the monster itself but the concept of myth in general. He talks about how myths generated by human perception of the reality are powerful forces influencing not just past history but contemporary societies. I found this post so interesting and original, I think I’m going to buy this book (language: ITA). For sure it deserves a look by those of you who knows italian.

About Africa from Africa another clever post by Padre Kizito (language: ENG and ITA), this time reflecting about relations between christianity and islam (language: ENG and ITA), starting from the full time academic course in Islamic Studies at Tangaza College of Nairobi suspension and leading to a smart reasoning about how to really get the dialogue to effectively grow up. I found the post brilliant, so I invite you to read it. I would like to expecially quote here a piece of what Kizito wrote in his post (language: ENG and ITA):

A real “civil dialogue” is slowly emerging, which is quite different from the “clash of ignorance” fed by those on both sides who rely on stereotypes and stock arguments.

Finally a good new one about the campaign for a better media coverage on italian medias of the Darfur’s crysis (in 5 years 300.000 civilians killed; 2.5 millions homeless). The italian band NEGRAMARO, famous in Italy but also playing in USA, are promoting the campaign in their current tour, supporting the protest against UN nations silence about Sudan’s government refusal to extradite Ahmad Harun (wiki) and Ali Kushayb (wiki) (International criminal court report - PDF 240kb). I think a cause promoting concrete facts to change the things happening in the region of Darfur is important and to be supported accordingly with everyone’s possibility. I invite you to gain more informations about what’s happening in Darfur through the interesting informative website of the italian association Italian bloggers for Darfur (language: ITA and ENG).

I think it’s enough for today, I’ll get better news next time… oh, by the way, I really appreciated Apple Inc. produced a new 3g iphone (apple) and did it in a much greener way. Good one, Steve, but it’s just the first step (greenpeace), right??

PS: If you want a lesson of how to effectively deliver presentations, watch this (apple) and the read THE book (amazon) ! You’ll thank me for this.
