The impact of the permafrost carbon feedback on global climate
Degrading permafrost can alter ecosystems, damage infrastructure, and release enough carbon \ndioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to influence global climate. The permafrost carbon feedback \n(PCF) is the amplification of surface warming due to CO2 and CH4 emissions from thawing \npermafrost. An analysis of available estimates PCF strength and timing indicate 120 ± 85 Gt of \ncarbon emissions from thawing permafrost by 2100. This is equivalent to 5.7…

Francesco Petrarca and the Parameters of Historical Research
Although scholars in the first two generations of humanism wrote the histories drawing heavily on ancient Roman sources, Petrarca was the first humanist historian to focuses on the history of ancient Roma. Because he was also the earliest to approach ancient Romans as historically conditioned human beings, he was able to see the achievements of the Romans in historical perspective. At the same time he was unable to separate mythology from history…

Medieval "Ars Dictaminis" and the Beginnings of Humanism: A New Construction of the Problem
In the almost forty years since he first enunciated his thesis, Paul O. Kristeller's view that the Italian humanists were essentially rhetoricians has found wide acceptance. His analysis of the humanist movement, however, indicates that he includes among the humanists' interests the four other disciplines comprising, along with rhetoric, the studia humanitatis: grammar, poetry, history, and moral philosophy. His decision to characterize the human…

Cino Rinuccini's Risponsiva alla Invettiva di Messer Antonio Lusco
CINO RINUCCINI' S Risponsiva is said to be one of the earliest Florentine works to present a republican interpretation of Roman and Florentine history. While the official correspondence of the Florentine State had been articulating such a concept since the I370's,1 Rinuccini's Risponsiva would appear to be one of the first writings by a private citizen to do so. Interestingly enough, this Florentine citizen, who wrote so eloquently of his city, h…
