- Abstract
Purpose: Climate change requires the reduction of direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a task that seems to clash with increasing supply chain complexity. This study aims to analyse the upstream supply chain complexity dimensions suggesting the importance of understanding the information processing that these may entail. Reducing equivocality can be an issue in some dimensions, requiring the introduction of written guidelines to moderate the effects of supply chain complexity dimensions on GHG emissions at the firm and supply chain level. Design/methodology/approach: A three-year panel data was built with information obtained from Bloomberg, Trucost and Compustat. Hypotheses were tested using random effect regressions with robust standard errors on a sample of 394 SP500 companies, addressing endogeneity through the control function approach. Findings: Horizontal complexity reduces GHG emissions at the firm level, whereas vertical and spatial complexity dimensions increase GHG emissions at the firm and supply chain level. Although the introduction of written guidelines neutralises the negative effects of vertical complexity on firm and supply chain GHG emissions, it is not sufficient in the presence of spatial complexity. Originality/value: This paper offers novel insights by suggesting that managers need to reconcile the potential trade-off effects on GHG emissions that horizontally complex supply chain structures can present. Their priority in vertically and spatially complex supply chain structures should be to reduce equivocality., Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Depto. de Organización de Empresas, Fac. de Comercio y Turismo, TRUE, inpress

Cristina De Stefano and Cristina De Stefano
- Abstract
Le piaceva giocare con gli pseudonimi, confondere le maschere. Le piaceva ripetere, con Pasternak: «Lascia dei vuoti nella vita... / e mai non esitare a cancellare / interi blocchi, interi capitoli / della tua esistenza». Schiva e appartata, Cristina Campo scomparve nel 1977, nel silenzio quasi generale di una società letteraria che non era ancora in grado di capirla. Oggi che critici e pubblico sembrano averla riscoperta, la sua parabola, sommessa ma decisiva, impone che di lei si dica di più. Occorre che uno sguardo si posi su quello che fu, come ha scritto Ceronetti, «un umbratile, filtrato viaggio nell'esistenza», così da svelare i punti cardinali di un percorso solo apparentemente lineare, illuminando, in modo al tempo stesso discreto e documentato, la vicenda umana di questa donna intensa, nutrita di letteratura e di emozioni. Occorre che uno sguardo si posi sul suo destino e lo riveli, per quanto possibile, in un racconto. Nel paziente tentativo di mettere un sassolino davanti all'altro, come si fa nelle fiabe per segnare il cammino: l'infanzia bolognese, la giovinezza fiorentina, gli anni della guerra e quelli romani, la malattia, gli amori, le amicizie, la scrittura, la fede. Per la prima volta una biografia, ricca anche di immagini, raccoglie le poche informazioni edite e le moltissime inedite e sorprendenti – tratte da lettere, testimonianze, e dal prezioso e finora sconosciuto diario del padre – sulla più misteriosa delle scrittrici italiane.

- Abstract
A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children's minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci.Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome's San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child's mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.

- Abstract
Sulla soglia di questo libro troviamo la grande fotografa Berenice Abbott che per festeggiare il diploma di liceo si fa tagliare i capelli alla maschietta: «Appena caddero a terra mi sentii più leggera e più libera». Un gesto inaugurale, che potrebbe essere l'emblema di ciascuna delle storie qui narrate. Anche nel dolore che attraversano, infatti, e nelle battaglie che devono sostenere, anche nei momenti più oscuri, queste venti «americane avventurose» mantengono uno stile che ha la grazia della leggerezza e una certa affascinante insolenza nel dichiararsi. Ed è con una leggerezza svagata e insieme con un occhio acutissimo che Cristina De Stefano ricostruisce le loro vite turbolente: grazie a lei scopriamo (o riscopriamo) la grande, infelice attrice nera Dorothy Dandridge e la poetessa Hilda Doolittle, primo amore di Ezra Pound; la leader del movimento per il controllo delle nascite Margaret Sanger e Dorothy Parker, la donna più divertente che mai abbia scritto su un giornale americano; Slim Keith, che inventò un certo tipo di eleganza, e Lee Miller, che fu memorabile modella e poi altrettanto memorabile fotografa; e ancora Amelia Earhart, donna pilota, incarnazione perfetta dell'eroina americana, e Anne Sexton, la poetessa folle, e Kay Swift, musa e collaboratrice di George Gershwin – e la più strepitosa cattiva ragazza del cinema americano: Mae West. Incontri folgoranti e scandalosi intrecci sentimentali, infanzie dorate e adolescenze desolate, amori travolgenti e matrimoni burrascosi, successi fulminei e altrettanto fulminee cadute – e sullo sfondo la storia tumultuosa del XX secolo. Alla fine si ha l'impressione che, a qualsiasi attività si dedichi, l'«americana avventurosa» del secolo ventesimo sia un tipo antropologico ben definito, che non smette di affascinare.

- Abstract
En el 150 aniversario de su nacimiento, la apasionante biografía de Maria Montessori, una pionera del feminismo y de las nuevas pedagogías cuyo método está hoy más vivo que nunca. «Emocionante, inspirador y muy entretenido. Hace justicia a la magnitud del nombre Montessori. [...] Nos ilumina un faro. Un faro progresista, antifascista, feminista y empático. Tanto si sois devotos fieles del Método Montessori como si no, tenéis que leer este libro.» El Hematocrítico, GQ Maria Montessori fue una de las mujeres más influyentes de su época. Su formación multidisciplinar -en medicina, biología, antropología y filosofía-, su pionera defensa de los derechos de las mujeres y su fe inquebrantable le permitieron concebir la educación desde una perspectiva inédita y revolucionaria que puso el foco en el niño, en dejarle espacio y tiempo, en observarlo y estimularlo de forma imperceptible según sus necesidades, confiando en su inteligencia y su capacidad de aprender por curiosidad y no por imposición. Comenzó su proyecto pedagógico con los niños del manicomio de Roma y luego dirigiendo un parvulario en San Lorenzo, uno de los barrios más pobres de la ciudad. Pronto el llamado «milagro de San Lorenzo» se extendió por el resto del país y el extranjero, donde el método de Montessori se hizo enormemente popular, con la propia Maria implicada en la instrucción de sus discípulas y en la creación de escuelas. Basándose en cartas inéditas y testimonios directos, Cristina De Stefano desvela la poco conocida personalidad de Maria Montessori, una mujer tan carismática como polémica, cuyo método de enseñanza sigue siendo hoy, ciento cincuenta años después de su nacimiento, uno de los más innovadores y prestigiosos. La crítica ha dicho... «Una biografía que se devora como una novela en la que De Stefano cuenta con un increíble pulso narrativo la historia de vida de una iluminada, casi una mesías, una visionaria dueña de un carácter profundamente contradictorio y lleno de claroscuros, de zonas de sombra; la historia de vida de una mujer que soñó durante toda su existencia con cambiar al hombre a partir del niño y, con ello, con cambiar el mundo.» Adrián Cordellat, El País «Una apasionante biografía que desmiente bulos, profundiza en temas ocultos, [...] huye de la hagiografía y desvela la fuerte personalidad de la pedagoga, tan carismática como polémica.» Núria Escur, La Vanguardia «Montessori fue una figura de tintes mesiánicos, en torno a la cual fue forjándose desde el inicio un culto a la personalidad que perdura en nuestros días con auténticos prosélitos. Un conocimiento más exacto de su vida y obra parece urgente para apreciar su valor.» Daniel Arjona, El Confidencial «Me sumerjo agradablemente en la biografía El niño es el maestro, el relato de la vida y la obra de la médica y revolucionaria educadora que convirtió definitivamente la pedagogía en una disciplina científica.» Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, El País «Montessori consiguió dejar la imposición para fomentar la inteligencia y el sano aprendizaje, siendo aún hoy un ejemplo.» La Razón «Feminista, visionaria y radical: el lado oculto de Maria Montessori.» Jorge C. Parcero, El Confidencial «La vida de Montessori plasmada con fluida precisión y fidelidad documental; [...] una trayectoria genial hecha de obstinados desgarros y costuras.» Paolo Di Stefano, La Lettura «Una visión actualísima de Montessori, una biografía que nos recuerda su revolución pacífica.» Valentina Pigmei, Vogue

Purpose The current tourism model based on luxury hotel resorts in the Gulf of Papagayo (Guanacaste, Costa Rica) is largely affecting the living condition of its nearby communities. This paper aims to discuss the importance of promoting public–private partnerships (PPPs) as innovative forms of governance to increase the sustainability of this tourism model. Design/methodology/approach Based on the review of institutional documents and the PPP literature, this article critically maps each stage of the process to design PPPs for sustainable tourism, taking into account the case of Guanacaste. In this way, it offers a practical guideline to plan partnerships involving academia, public institutions and private partners in particular tourism sites. Findings The paper shows that the feasibility of a PPP in Guanacaste strongly depends on the alignment of partners’ local interests, on the adequacy of the partnership to the social and economic conditions of the context wherein it has to be carried out, and on the appropriation of results from partners. Originality/value This work combines a theoretical and practical perspective to understand the interactive process to be carried out to design PPPs in developing tourism destinations.

- Abstract
A landmark biography of the most famous Italian journalist of the twentieth century, an inspiring and often controversial woman who defied the codes of reportage and established the'La Fallaci'style of interview.Oriana Fallaci is known for her uncompromising vision. To retrace Fallaci's life means to retrace the course of history from World War II to 9/11.As a child, Fallaci enlisted herself in the Italian Resistance alongside her father. Her hatred of fascism and authoritarian regimes would accompany her throughout her life. Covering the entertainment industry early on in her career, she created an original, abrasive interview style, focusing on her subject's emotions, contradictions, and facial expressions more than their words. When she grew bored of interviewing movie stars and directors, she turned her attention to the greatest international figures of the time: Khomeini, Gaddafi, Indira Gandhi, and Kissinger, placing herself front and center in the story. Reporting from the front lines of the world's greatest conflicts, she provoked her own controversies wherever she was stationed, leaving behind epic collateral damage in her wake.Thanks to unprecedented access to personal records, Cristina De Stefano brings back to life a remarkable woman whose groundbreaking work and torrid love affairs will not soon be forgotten. Oriana Fallaci allows a new generation to discover her story, and witness the passionate, persistent journalism that we urgently need in these times of upheaval and uncertainty.

Companies increasingly need to work with their partners to address sustainability issues, but benefits from environmental R&D cooperation can be limited by the complexity of its management. This paper examines how the interplay between dyadic and network relationships can contribute to increase the success of environmental R&D cooperation. Using secondary data, we examine whether the positional embeddedness in the supply network structure of partners engaged in environmental R&D cooperation amplifies the effects of cooperation on product performance. Non-monotonic effects of environmental R&D cooperation and embeddedness are also tested. The results indicate that the positional embeddedness of partners triggered by multiple sourcing strategy amplifies the effects of environmental R&D cooperation on product environmental performance. The interaction effects become however insignificant in the presence of increasing complexity and excessive environmental R&D cooperation. This research was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Grant # ECO2016-75961-R). Part of this work was also developed thanks to a Two-year Postdoctoral Mobility Program (Grant # A4U) carried out by the first author at Pompeu Fabra University, Department of Economics and Business, Barcelona (Spain).

- Abstract
Luchas, encuentros, guerra y amor: un retrato sorprendente de la primera mujer reportera de guerra. El libro en el que se basa la serie de televisión Oriana Fallaci.'Soy un dolor en el culo, lo sé'. Su famoso carácter ha oscurecido a veces el talento y la determinación que convirtieron a Oriana Fallaci en la periodista y escritora italiana más popular del siglo XX. Nacida en una familia pobre de antifascistas, participó en la resistencia contra la ocupación nazi, creció con rapidez y, nada más terminar la secundaria, se presentó en la editorial de un periódico. En pocos años se consolidó como una gran profesional dentro de un negocio todavía dominado por los hombres. En los años 50 viajó por toda América llegando a ser amiga de estrellas de Hollywood y astronautas de la NASA. Se mudó a Nueva York en los años 60 y fue a Vietnam en 1967 para, finalmente empezar a escribir sobre política, como deseaba. Se enfrentó a los políticos y personajes más importantes de la época a través de sus afiladas entrevistas -Henry Kissinger, Gadafi, Husayn de Jordania, Yasser Arafat, Federico Fellini, Indira Gandhi, entre otros-, lo que le valió de trampolín para seguir en el periodismo y escribir sus grandes novelas de madurez, de las que vendió millones de ejemplares. En su vida privada reivindicó siempre el derecho a vivir sin tabús y al límite. Gracias a trabajos inéditos de Orianna y al testimonio de los que mejor la conocían, Cristina De Stefano reconstruye la figura de una mujer moderna, valiente y ante todo libre. Una mujer polémica, pero que podía decir de sí misma:'No sé si soy buena; trabajo duro, trabajo bien. Tengo dignidad. Tengo una vida para demostrarlo'.'¿Quién es el precursor del periodismo moderno? No lo es Hemingway, que escribió sus experiencias en las trincheras; ni Orwell, que pasó un año de su vida entre los vagabundos parisinos; ni Egon Erwin Kisch, experto en las prostitutas de Praga; sino Oriana Fallaci, quien entre 1969 y 1972 publicó una serie de entrevistas a los políticos más famosos de su época. Estas eran más que meras conversaciones, eran duelos. Antes de que los poderosos políticos advirtieran que estaban luchando en condiciones desiguales -dado que ella podía plantear preguntas y ellos no-, ya se encontraban en la lona, fuera de combate'.
