A movie based on the popular video game will be inherently difficult because its recurring protagonist doesn’t speak. And developers have long preferred to keep it that way.

(The previous sentence demonstrates both my market awareness and my forward thinking.)

“I expected a lot of things when I started the novel … but I didn’t think it would feel culturally relevant in 2023.”

I was thrilled when Nintendo released “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” in May. But the unfettered joy I feel playing Zelda today took me longer to acquire than all 900 Korok seeds. While my parents supported my playing video games growing up, so many others blamed them for ruining lives, writes Natalie Schriefer.

h4Explores the major political, social, economic, religious and cultural changes impacting what was once the most important region of the Roman world/h4ulliThe first modern research volume on a core region of Late Antiquity/liliA tight and distinctly chronological focus on the second quarter of the first millennium CE, that allows for a different vision of the many vicissitudes of Late Roman Italy, among other works on Ancient and Late Antique Italy./liliAn emphasis on one of the key features of Late Antiquity: the transformation of the Roman Empire in the West into successor polities./liliA balanced range of topics, including ones rarely encountered in this type of work (such as gender or environmental history), with a special focus on political transformation and violence./li/ulpThis research volume reassesses one of the most fundamental transformations in Late Antiquity, centered on a pivotal region: the transition from ‘Empire’ to ‘Kingdom’ in Italy c. 250-500. During the first quarter of the first millennium, Italy was still the heart of the Roman Empire; the only political superstructure ever managing to encompass the entire Mediterranean world and its European hinterland. Yet during the second quarter of this millennium, Italy underwent dramatic evolutions from demotion to a provincialized region (c. 285-395), to a new imperial hub kept afloat by cannibalizing other provinces’ resources (c. 395-476), to an autonomous regnum governed by non-Roman rulers as part of an Eastern Roman ‘Commonwealth’ (c. 475-535)./p

There is a growing emphasis to improve every student's academic, social-emotional, and career and college development as schools strive to design and deliver comprehensive counseling programs that support students' development in these areas. The purpose of this study is to explore a large urban high school teachers' counselors and admins' perspectives on improving a high-poverty urban school's counseling services to extend school leaders' and counselors' knowledge about delivering effective school counseling programs as, ultimately, success lies with an effective principal and school counselor partnership. Particularly, data from our study will allow urban school principals and school counselors to identify the high and low program needs of urban students to become college, career, and life ready. The next set of comparisons was conducted for social-emotional needs. Like academic development needs, the entire ANOVA summary tables showed non-significant differences. The findings indicated that some responses varied significantly across (1) special education faculty, (2) regular classroom teachers and (3) school counselors in terms of rating of students' counseling needs. School leaders and school counselors can apply the findings of this study to create systemic and comprehensive student services in their schools. Particularly, school leaders and counselors can apply the results in decision-making, discussions, and time allocation in prevention/education versus reactive/responsive academic and counseling services.

Lisa Vitale discusses the intellectual contribution of historian and apologist Margherita Marchione in redefining the role of Pius XII during the atrocities of the Nazi Holocaust by means of personal narratives of the Sisters of St Lucy Filippini (of which Marchione was a member) and the Jewish refugees they sheltered, including the prominent Roman Di Veroli family. The chapter paints a multi-faceted, and sometimes contradictory, picture of Catholic charity during those turbulent and confusing times. Despite Marchione’s defense of Vatican (in-)action during the mass extermination of the Jews, she brings a message of hope to today’s Jewish Italian citizens. © 2023 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

This chapter focuses on the figure of Ada Gobetti and her humble, yet crucial contribution, as a partisan collaborator and leader who helped dismantle the Nazi-Fascist political system in the aftermath of the 1943 Armistice. The author aims at shedding new light on Gobetti’s work that has long been ignored, highlighting how women regained visibility because of their role in support of the Resistance. © 2023 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

Electronic waste (e-waste) or discarded electronic devices that are unwanted, not working, or have reached their end of life pose significant threats to human and environmental health. This is a major concern in Africa, where the majority of e-waste is discarded. In the year 2021, an estimated 57.4 million metric tons of e-waste were generated worldwide. Globally, COVID-19 lockdowns have contributed to increased e-waste generation. Although Africa generates the least of this waste, the continent has been the dumping ground for e-waste from the developed world. The flow of hazardous waste from the prosperous ‘Global North’ to the impoverished ‘Global South’ is termed “toxic colonialism”. Agbogbloshie, Ghana, an e-waste hub where about 39% of e-waste was treated, was listed among the top 10 most polluted places in the world. The discard of e-waste in Ghana presents an issue of environmental injustice, defined as the disproportionate exposure of communities of color and low-income communities to pollution, its associated health and environmental effects, and the unequal environmental protection provided through policies. Despite the economic benefits of e-waste, many civilians (low-income earners, settlers, children, and people with minimal education) are exposed to negative health effects due to poverty, lack of education, and weak regulations. We critically examine the existing literature to gather empirical information on e-waste and environmental injustice. Comprehensive policies and regulations are needed to manage e-waste locally and globally.
