Synopsis:

Revised and translated into English, Rosaluna takes Enzo Tiezzi's previous book, Beauty and Science to the next level. It contains categories that have long been separated and demonstrates a unity that is expressed in narrative form as Rosaluna.
Though a novel, it continues with a theme that recurs throughout Tiezzi’s scientific and popular works: the need for a sustainable approach to the world we live in. The reader steps into the life of Rosaluna armed with scientific knowledge of nature, environmental harmony and modern theories of evolutionary physics, thermodynamics, and chaos. The concept of time in the novel is non-linear, with Rosaluna moving backwards and forwards through time as she pleases. The tale stimulates the imagination and shows the infinite paths the future might hold.

About the Authors: Enzo TIEZZI is a full professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Siena and author or co-author of five other books (The End of Time, The Essence of Time, Beauty and Science, Steps towards an evolutionary physics, and City out of Chaos ) in the field of sustainability, as well as some 500 articles published in major scientific journals. A former Fulbright scholar, he was a member of the group of 25 scientists, who developed the concept of "sustainable development", first in Stockholm and Barcelona, then at the World Bank in Washington and, finally, at the ASPEN Institute in the United States. He is currently an editor of the International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics and chief editor of the WIT Press series The Sustainable World.

Enzo Tiezzi is professor of physical chemistry at Siena University.
