Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.

This book provides a first introduction to the fundamental concepts of commutative algebra. What sets it apart from other textbooks is the extensive collection of 400 solved exercises, providing readers with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problem solving, fostering a deeper and more thorough understanding of the subject. The topics presented here are not commonly found in a single text. Consequently, the first part presents definitions, properties, and results crucial for understanding and solving the exercises, serving also as a valuable reference. The second part contains the exercises and a section with "True or False?" questions, which serves as a valid self-assessment test. Considerable effort has been invested in crafting solutions that provide the essential details, aiming for a well-balanced presentation. We intend to guide students systematically through the challenging process of writing mathematical proofs with formal correctness and clarity. Our approach is constructive, aiming to illustrate concepts by applying them to the analysis of multivariate polynomial rings and modules over a principal ideal domain (PID) whenever feasible. Algorithms for computing these objects facilitate the generation of diverse examples. In particular, the structure of finitely generated modules over a PID is analyzed using the Smith canonical form of matrices. Furthermore, various properties of polynomial rings are investigated through the application of Buchberger’s Algorithm for computing Gröbner bases. This book is intended for advanced undergraduates or master’s students, assuming only basic knowledge of finite fields, Abelian groups, and linear algebra. This approach aims to inspire the curiosity of readers and encourages them to find their own proofs while providing detailed solutions to support their learning. It also provides students with the necessary tools to pursue more advanced studies in commutative algebra and related subjects.

This book offers theoretical and empirical contributions on the approaches, policies, practices concerning the inclusion of migrants through social entrepreneurship. Grounded in a multi-disciplinary approach and with a special focus on the Adriatic-Ionian region, the book offers a debate on the antecedents, processes and outcomes of social entrepreneurship and migrants’ inclusion, describing some innovative initiatives and their potential transferability in other contexts. The Adriatic-Ionian macro-region represents an interesting yet overlooked area of research, characterized by evolving migration and inclusion policies, together with specific legislation and reforms for social entrepreneurship. The migration dynamics along the so-called Balkan Route confer to this macro-region strong political relevance in the field of security and migration management. Contributing to the targets of SDG 8, the book contextualizes the opportunities offered by social entrepreneurship as a form of decent work for migrants, and of potential growth driver for local and international territories. Stefano Bianchini, Full Professor of East European Politics and History, University of Bologna. He was Rector's delegate for relations with Eastern Europe from 2015 to 2021. As an expert of Balkan issues, particularly on Yugoslavia and its successor states, he published 9 books, 29 edited books and more than 100 articles. Federica Bandini, Associate Professor of Social Enterprises Management and Accounting at the University of Bologna and Fellow Senior Professor at Bocconi School of Management. She earned an ITP at London Business School, and a Ph.D. in Management for public and nonprofit organizations. She has been the Director of leading university programs on management of social enterprises and NGOs. Daniela Bolzani, Associate Professor in Management at the University of Bologna. She has extensive research and teaching expertise in the domain of migrant, social, and academic entrepreneurship. Before starting her academic career, she worked for around five years as a professional in the fields of financial audit and international development in Europe and Africa.
