    Proceedings of the 19th IPSAPA/ISPALEM - International Scientific Conference. The Turning Point of the Landscape-cultural Mosaic: Renaissance Revelation Resilience

    Turning Point is the provocative term geologist and (today) opinion leader Gregg Braden uses to encourage all of us to reflect on the ways that science and culture are traveling. In his work "he is known internationally as a pioneer in building a bridge between science and indigenous skills in view of real solutions for today's world." This is not the first laudator temporis acti (admirer of the past) but his characteristic is to challenge many stereotypes of the contemporary world from the inside, and not just as a confused outside observer as sometimes happens in nostalgic literature. For him the turning point is the obliged moment to bring back the world before it falls into a chaotic structure no longer controllable. Experts of complexity however tell us that progress can only be born in a world that hovers on the brink of chaos. Braden, after living as an expert in the world of complexity, casts doubts on this statement and sets limits beyond which the risk of uncontrollable fall becomes too high. Its wide reflection on resilience shows the need to maintain, while there is still time, a reserve capacity, unexpressed but accessible

    Proceedings of the 20th IPSAPA/ISPALEM International Scientific Conference. The Erratic Behavior of the Landscape-cultural Mosaic: Emotion, Energy, Experience

    The 20th IPSAPA conference was held in Reggio Calabria on July 7-8, 2016. The call for papers was followed by the participants more faithfully than usual, and the papers cover most of the foreseen items in a balanced way. The call for papers therefore is also a good outline for the introduction to this book. Since 2005 IPSAPA conference focuses on the successful keyword "landscapecultural mosaic". Sometimes it prevailed realism, sometimes economic sustainability, sometimes the evolutionary dynamics, sometimes the pursuit of excellence. This time we went back to the domain of the imagination and to the fascination of discovery, taking the line of the conferences of 2009 and 2010, called respectively: "The backstage of the landscape-cultural mosaic: Invisible, Inaccessible, Inexistent" and "The Wonderland in the landscape-cultural mosaic: Idea, Image, Illusion". The fantastic invention was present in part also in the 2013 conference entitled "Utopias and dystopias in the landscape-cultural mosaic: Visions, Values, Vulnerability"

    Since 2005 the IPSAPA conference focuses on the successful keyword "landscape-cultural mosaic." Sometimes it prevailed realism, sometimes economics, sometimes evolutionary dynamics, sometimes the pursuit of excellence. This edition confirms the return to the domain of imagination and fascination of discovery, taking the line of the conferences of 2009 and 2010, named respectively "The backstage of the landscape-cultural mosaic . Invisible, Inaccessible, Inexistent" and "Wonderland in the landscape-cultural mosaic. Idea, Image, Illusion". The fantastic invention was present in part in the 2013 conference entitled "Utopias and dystopias in the landscape-cultural mosaic. Visions, Values, Vulnerability". The unstructured reality was the subject of the previous conference (2016) entitled "Erratic of the landscape-cultural mosaic. Emotion, Energy, Experience
