Except for a few added comments, this is a faithful translation of the book Strutture simpliciali in topologia, published by Pitagora Editrice, Bologna 2009, as part of the collection Quaderni of the Italian Mathematical Union. It should be noted that this book is neither a comprehensive text in algebraic topology nor is it a monograph on simplicial objects in the modern sense. Its focus is instead on the role of finite simplicial structures, and the algebraic topology deriving from them.
If you have never read a book about UFOs and have always wondered whether there is anything to the subject then this is definitely the book you should read first. Leslie Kean does not set out to prove that UFOs are controlled by aliens. No-one has enough evidence to make that kind of claim, and sensibly, Kean is aiming at convincing readers of something more modest. Namely, that there have been a number of sightings of exotic and strange flying objects that have been seen by a large number of people simultaneously, including persons in positions of high responsibility.
In Portable Property, John Plotz examines the new role played by portable objects in persuading Victorian Britons that they could travel abroad with religious sentiments, family ties, and national identity intact. In an empire defined as much by the circulation of capital as by force of arms, the challenge of preserving Englishness while living overseas became a central Victorian preoccupation, creating a pressing need for objects that could readily travel abroad as personifications of Britishness.
