Esta obra transita por la contemporaneidad para mostrarnos la transformación de las fuentes geohistóricas y catastrales a nivel nacional e internacional. Dicha documentación adquiere cada vez más importancia en el ámbito científico dado su potencial y versatilidad, pues afecta directamente a la configuración de los espacios, su comprensión y evolución histórica desde dinámicas sociales, económicas y geopolíticas. Los estudios aquí reunidos abarcan una gran variedad de usos con dichas fuentes geohistóricas, centrándose en aspectos como: la despoblación, el análisis medioambiental y las transformaciones en los usos del suelo, la evolución de la propiedad agraria, la defensa de los territorios, los cambios socioeconómicos de espacios complejos, la evolución de los espacios urbanos, la conformación, estructura y catalogación de los volúmenes documentales, las nuevas funciones turísticas y su impacto en los valores catastrales. Por ello, esta obra supone un punto de inflexión y abre una nueva ventana a la innovación y el conocimiento en el campo de las fuentes geohistóricas y sus aplicaciones a nivel nacional e internacional.
Les paysages qui nous entourent sont un héritage du passé. L’écologie historique nous invite à remonter le temps pour mieux les interpréter, pour comprendre la biodiversité et le fonctionnement actuels des écosystèmes qui les constituent et, finalement, anticiper leurs trajectoires à venir. Écologie historique propose une synthèse complète et actualisée de ce champ interdisciplinaire qu’est l’écologie historique. Après avoir analysé l’importance du temps et de ses échelles en écologie ainsi que la délicate tâche d’inférer des trajectoires dynamiques passées à partir d’observations actuelles, cet ouvrage présente une approche critique des principales métho...
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
