orme editori (Milan, 2002) bases its publishing program on Italian and international top–quality, nonfiction books tackling topical subjects with a journalistic style and focusing on issues of broad interest.

Its titles encourage the reader to meditate on critical and often controversial issues, ranging from the big debates on the most recent and discussed implementations of scientific research to the ever-open dispute on the future of our producing, living and consuming habits.
Alongside these topical in–depth analyses, ORME also prints high-profile entertainment texts, informative guides on arts and science, as well as innovative handbooks on natural medicine.

Among the prestigious authors orme chose for its publications figure the American editorialist William Greider, the geneticists Steve Jones and Gregory Stock, the awarded science journalists Stephen S. Hall, Gina Kolata and Greg Critser, the Italian researchers Francesca Monza, Paola Favretto and Fausto Barbagli, the journalists Marina Seveso, Arturo Cocchi and Elisa Manacorda, the physicists Vincenzo Naso and Fabio Orecchini, the German expert in nanotechnologies Niels Boeing, the US anthropologist David P. Barash, the naturopaths Domenica Arcari Morini and Angelica Agosta, the French manager and essayist Alain Minc, the management consultant Mardy Grothe, the Australian sport journalist Gideon Haigh, the member of the American Academy of Arts and Science Claire Gaudiani, Distinguished Professor of Classics Emeritus Charles Rowan Beye, the mathematician Barry Mazur, the director of the AIP Center for History of Physics Spencer R. Weart, Harvard clinical psychologist and Assistant Director of the Media Center for Children Susan Linn, the writer on culture and design Thomas Hine, the American journalist and one of the major biographers of its time Matthew Josephson, the expert in social and economic issues Clive Hamilton, and the memorable Media and Communications scholar Neil Postman (whose very last and outstanding essay has been published by orme, just before he disappeared).
