Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Culture, comunicazione, resilienza
La società tra rischi, crisi ed emergenze
Risk, crisis and emergency are three terms that in everyday life we often tend to include in the single term "emergency", but in everyday reality, they are different because they refer to very specific events (with their specificity) and are also communicated differently and, therefore,
they present themselves with distinct cultural characteristics.
In this book, divided into four chapters, these three concepts will be addressed by examining their properties, differences and manifestations along their sociocultural dimension also explained through the analysis of the communicative universe that characterizes them.
A first part will address the definitional problem from a strictly sociological perspective and the sociocultural dynamics associated with these three concepts. In it, we highlight how these concepts are culturally constructed and respond to events through actions, practices, processes and methods based on the understanding of the situations of uncertainty that arise from time to time. Subsequently, we analyze the elements that characterize the communication and information process in the three concepts and how these processes influence the creation of differentiated cultural models.
This last process constitutes the central element to concretely allow the creation of a clear culture of analysis, management and knowledge of these phenomena. To better accompany the reader in his in-depth analysis, this part is also supported by the examination of case studies that are presented in the third chapter. The last part examines the dimensions of social security and resilience, defining the two terms and observing the forms and methods of social and cultural response to the three phenomena by the communities involved starting from the examples proposed.
The book, as a whole and in extreme synthesis, first analyzes the cultural process of risk, crisis and emergency starting from their sociological definition, then the communicative approach and, finally, also with the support of case studies, the role of the community in creating a culture of resilience and managing such events through the implementation of social security systems.
