AD 9: In the depths of the Teutoburg Wald, in a landscape riven by ravines, darkened by ancient oak and bisected by fast-flowing streams, Arminius of the Cherusci led a confederation of six Germanic tribes in the annihilation of three Roman legions. Deep in the forest almost 20,000 men were massacred without mercy; fewer than 200 of them ever made it back across the Rhine. To Rome's shame, three sacred Eagles were lost that day. But Arminius wasn't brought up in Germania Magna—he had been raised as a Roman. This is the story of how Arminius came to turn his back on the people who raised him and went on to commit a betrayal so great and so deep, it echoed through the ages.

Lightopia investigates the development of light design, taking a novel perspective by placing the current paradigm shift in the larger context of cultural history. The starting point for the book is the Vitra Design Museum's extensive, never before seen lighting collection, from which particularly rare and important pieces are reproduced here by designers such as Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Achille Castiglioni and Gino Sarfatti. Parallel to these works, contemporary examples from the fields of design and art explore the current developments and transitions in light design: from new illumination concepts and innovative light designs to dynamic urban street lighting and energy efficient multifunctional (media) facades up to art installations and light experiments. Lightopia looks at natural phenomena and new technologies as well as exploring the fundamental emotional power of light. The spectrum of works surveyed extends from light objects inter alia by Troika and Mischer Traxler up to installations by Olafur Eliasson. These art and design objects are juxtaposed with exhibits from different cultural-historical contexts, which all allude to light's various symbolic connotations and speak of people's ongoing fascination with light throughout the ages.

"Mi chiamo Pietro Paladini, ho quarantatré anni e sono vedovo". Si presenta così il protagonista di Caos calmo. Un uomo apparentemente realizzato, con un ottimo lavoro, una donna che lo ama, una figlia di dieci anni. Ma un giorno, mentre salva la vita a una sconosciuta, accade l'imprevedibile, e tutto cambia. Pietro si rifugia nella sua auto, parcheggiata davanti alla scuola della figlia, e per lui comincia l'epoca del risveglio. Osservando il mondo dal punto in cui s'è inchiodato, scopre a poco a poco il lato oscuro degli altri, di quei capi, di quei colleghi, di quei parenti e di tutti quegli sconosciuti che, ciascuno sotto il peso del proprio fardello, accorrono a lui e puntualmente soccombono davanti alla sua incomprensibile calma. Così la sua storia si fa immensa, e li contiene tutti, li guida, li ispira. La scrittura avvolgente di Veronesi, la sua danza ininterrotta tra intelletto e parola è la corda con cui Pietro trae a sé il secchio dal fondo del pozzo, piano piano, senza alternative, determinando le condizioni per un finale inaudito, eppure del tutto naturale, in cui si approda alla più semplice delle verità: l'accettazione della natura umana nella sua banale, eroica confusione di forza e debolezza.
