This book brings together forty-five contributions from students and former students of the Faculty of Law at the University of Trento, who have been given a single "lighthouse", the title: "The university we would like". In a personal way, each of them tackled a theme that was close to their hearts. The contents were then organised into six sections: "University and values"; "Community"; "University and growth"; "Students"; "University and transitions"; "Relations".Reading it can provide a snapshot of the existing university and the university that could exist, seen through the eyes of those who live it or have lived it, showing both confirmed and betrayed expectations and identifying the most "felt" problems. Reading it, on the other hand, can also show how the university must recover spontaneity and curiosity, freely consulting the people who attend it. There are things to say, there are people who are willing and able to say them.The book is aimed at students, lecturers, members of decision-making bodies at different levels, and anyone with an interest in university issues and the opinions of students and former students. But it is also aimed at those high school students who are curious to know more about the university and its dynamics, seen from personal perspectives based on experience. Questo libro raccoglie quarantacinque contributi di studenti ed ex studenti della facoltà di giurisprudenza dell’università di Trento, cui è stato dato un unico “faro”, quello del titolo: “L’università che vorremmo”. In modo personale ognuno di loro ha affrontato un tema che aveva a cuore. I contenuti sono poi stati organizzati in sei sezioni: “Università e valori”; “Comunità”; “Università e crescita”; “Studenti”; “Università e transizioni”; “Relazioni”.Leggerlo può dare uno spaccato dell’università esistente e dell’università che potrebbe esistere, visto dagli occhi di chi la vive o l’ha vissuta, mostrando sia conferme che aspettative tradite ed individuando i problemi più “sentiti”. Leggerlo, d’altra parte, può anche mostrare come l’università debba recuperare spontaneità e curiosità, consultando in modo libero le persone che la frequentano. Ci sono cosa da dire, ci sono persone che sono disponibili a dirle, e lo sanno fare.Il libro è rivolto a studenti, docenti, membri degli organi decisori, ai diversi livelli, e a chi abbia interesse per le tematiche universitarie e per le opinioni di studenti ed ex studenti. Ma è rivolto anche a quegli studenti delle scuole superiori che sono curiosi di sapere di più sull’università e sulle sue dinamiche, viste da prospettive personali fondate sull’esperienza.

The volume collects the proceedings of the conference “Università e Territorio. Il decentramento dell'Ateneo nella Provincia di Firenze (“University and Territory. The decentralisation of the University in the Province of Florence”), which was held in Florence on January 23, 2004. The conference saw a wide participation of interventions and public debate, and dealt with the issues concerning the decentralisation of educational and scientific activities in the municipalities of the Province of Florence, with particular reference to the university settlements of Calenzano, Scandicci, Sesto Fiorentino, Vaglia, Figline Valdarno, San Casciano Val di Pesa and the district Circondario Empolese Valdelsa. The conference was conceived as an occasion of meeting and dialogue between Mayors of the Province, local administrators and deans of university degree courses. It highlighted the multiplicity and differentiation of the activities as well as the complexity of the problems related to the development of study courses in the different social-economical realities of the municipalities of the Province of Florence.

The Natural History Museum of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand-Duke Pietro Leopold, is the oldest scientific museum in Europe. With this second volume on the Botanical Collection, Florence University Press continues its series dedicated to the six Sections of the Museum. The first part of the volume recounts the birth of botanical sciences in Florence and the history of the museum collections from sixteenth century to today. Then follows the second part which describes the historical and modern Herbaria, for each of which the main events that went to their formation, the importance of the plants they contain and biographical information on those who built the collections are described. The third section expounds the other collections in the Botanical Section of the Museum, among which of particular interest are the wax models of plants and fruits, manufactured by the old Grand-ducal Ceroplastics Laboratory, the wood collection, plaster of Paris mushrooms and the eighteenth century still life paintings of fruits and vegetables by Bartolomeo Bimbi. Finally, the last part illustrates the importance that herbaria play today in modern scientific research, drawing attention to the fact that they are an archive that holds taxonomical, chorological and ecological information in function of the plants they contain, as well as historical-biographical information on the scholars who, through their efforts, built up the collections.
